During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include
an observation of XRF040916 that was approved as a fast turn-around
Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on Sep 20. Loads were replanned and
uplinked on Sep 25 for observing on Sep 27. An observation of
MACS1427.2+4407 was impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled for a
later load.
A Chandra press release was issued on Sept 23 describing how astronomers have used an X-ray image to make the first detailed study of the behavior of high-energy particles around a fast moving pulsar. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/04_releases/press_092304.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of CC Ero coordinated with the VLA. |
