| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
Of note this week was the successful completion of the Linux migration Operations Readiness Review for the ground system. Approval was given by a combined Level 2/4 board meeting on Nov 17 to transition to operations with the Linux system at the end of November. A Chandra image release was issued on 15 November showing a composite X-ray/optical image that reveals a cat-shaped structure produced by the remnants of two exploded stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. For details see http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2005/d316/ The schedule of targets for next week is shown below and includes an observation of M87 coordinated with Hubble Space Telescope. |
