| During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include a
20 Ks observation of the anomalous X-ray pulsar AXP 1E 1048.1-5937
following the detection by RXTE of a glitch event from the pulsar. The
source was accepted as a fast turn-around Target Of Opportunity (TOO)
on 2 Apr and loads were replanned and uplinked on 4 Apr. The
observation was accommodated by deleting an observation of ESO
255-IG0007 and inserting an observation of GRS 1741.9-2853 as part of
the replan.
A real-time procedure was completed on 1 Apr to swap back from SSR-B to SSR-A after a DSN outage led to a missed pass and an autonomous switch to SSR-B. The SSR-B timeout status flag was detected in an unexpected set state following the power-off of SSR-B. The state was understood following analysis as due to a specific timing condition and cleared with a real-time procedure on 2 Apr. The schedule of targets for next week is shown below and includes the next 7 observations of the C-COSMOS survey. |
