Detecting distant planets with Space TelescopeIn 1981 and in 1984, research projects were chosen by graduate students at the University of Houston which were designed for the Space Telescope (ST). The six ST instruments which were most important for their purposes (most were interested in the detection of planets of other stars) were: the wide field/planetary camera, the faint object camera, the faint object spectrograph, the high resolution spectrograph, the high speed photometer and the fine guidance system. The capability of these instruments is discussed along with the techniques likely to be most effective in the detection of planets of other stars. It is noted that the student proposals require a significant fraction of ST observing time; the ST Science Institute is laden with over-subscription.
