During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. Real-time procedures were executed on Jan 3 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer and to perform a diagnostic dump of the CPE. A Chandra image release was issued on Jan 3 describing a new image of 30 Dor B. A recent analysis has revealed a faint shell of X-rays that extends about 130 light-years across. The Chandra data also reveal that 30 Dor B contains winds of particles blowing away from a pulsar, creating a pulsar wind nebula. For details see: https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2024/30dorb/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of FAVA_802_1 which are follow-ups to a Target of Opportunity which was accepted on Dec 23. |
