| During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include an observation of the Gamma Ray Burster GRB020321 that was accepted as a Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on 24 March. Observation of FTM0906+4952 and HS 0848+1119 were impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled in a later load.
Real-time procedures were completed nominally on 23 March to re-position the HRC door to its closed position and on 28 March to uplink the rebuilt loads for the TOO. A press release was issued on March 28 announcing the detection with Chandra of the three most distant quasars, located some 13 billion lights years away. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/02_releases/press_032802.html The observing schedule for the next week is shown below and includes a pair of constrained observations of RX J1258+23. |
