During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to
incorporate an observation of AT18cow, which was accepted as a
Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity on Jun
21. Loads for the replanned schedule were uplinked on Jun 23.
Scheduled observations of PSRJ1048+2339 and CDWFS were impacted
by the replan and will be rescheduled in future weeks.
Chandra passed through the third, fourth, and fifth eclipses of
the season on Jun 23, 26, and 28 respectively, with nominal power
and thermal performance.
Of note this week was the release on Jun 28 of CalDB version
4.7.9. The CALDB update includes a new version of the ACIS
contamination model and updates to the HRC-I and HRC-S
time-dependent quantum efficiency corrections. For details see:

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and
includes an observation of 3C273 coordinated with XMM and NuSTAR. |
