| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
On April 3, the Chandra team participated in the webcast event, "80 Telescopes Around the World", as part of the International Year of Astronomy "100 Hours of Astronomy" (see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/09_releases/press_040209.html). A Chandra image release was issued in conjunction with the webcast showing the pulsar wind nebula associated with the pulsar B1509-58. For details and to see the unusual "hand-like" image, go to: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/b1509/ Of note last week was the Chandra User Committee meeting held at the CXC on Apr 6-7. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of M82ULX coordinated with XMM-Newton. |
