| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A real-time procedure was executed on Jun 23 to update the on-board ephemeris. A Chandra image release was issued on Jun 22 describing observations of Abell 2744, a complex collision of at least four galaxy clusters. This system has been dubbed "Pandora's Cluster" by astronomers because of all of the different structures found. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/photo/2011/a2744/ Of note this week was the Cycle 13 Peer Review held in Boston, Jun 20-24. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of SN2011dh, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Jun 16, and an observation of M31 coordinated with the VLA. |
