| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A real-time procedure was performed on July 4 to execute SCS 29 in preparation for the first eclipse of the 2006 summer season. Chandra passed through the first two eclipses of the season on July 5 and July 7 with nominal power and thermal performance. A Chandra image release was issued on July 3 of four supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud. For details and a discussion contrasting these SNRs see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2006/4snr/ The schedule of targets for next week is shown below and includes an observation of NGC 1333 coordinated with the VLA. |
