During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A Chandra image release was issued on May 23 describing the discovery of an isolated neutron star located within the supernova remnant E0102. The newly identified neutron star is a rare variety that has both a low magnetic field and no stellar companion. About ten such objects have been detected in the Milky Way galaxy, but this is the first one detected outside our galaxy. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/photo/2018/e0102/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of ZTF18aaqjovh, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on May 14. |
