During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A Chandra press release was issued on Mar 14 describing observations of a city-sized collapsed star that has generated a beam of matter and antimatter that stretches for trillions of miles. Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory revealed the full extent of this beam, or filament. This discovery could help explain the presence of positrons detected throughout the Milky Way galaxy and here on Earth. Positrons are the antimatter counterpart to the electron. For details see: https://chandra.harvard.edu/press/22_releases/press_031422.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of Sgr A* coordinated with EHT and observations of M87 coordinated with EHT and NuSTAR. |
