Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 4 October 2019 9.00am EDT

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

A real-time procedure was executed Sep 29 to perform full-frame dark current readouts of the Aspect Camera Assembly CCD. An additional real-time procedure was executed on Oct 2 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of Mrk1018 coordinated with HST, observations of Eta Carinae coordinated with HST, and an observation of AT2019pev, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Oct 2.
