| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
Real-time procedures were executed on Oct 7 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer, and on Oct 9 to update the on-board ephemeris. A Chandra image release was issued on Oct 6 of the galaxy NGC 6240 that contains two supermassive black holes in the process of merging. The multi-wavelength image includes X-ray data from Chandra and optical data from Hubble. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/ngc6240/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below. |
