During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. An aspect camera dark current calibration was performed from the on-board loads on Aug 22. An initial assessment of the data indicates nominal aspect camera performance and that the number of CCD warm pixels is increasing at the expected rate. A more detailed assessment, including the effects of CCD temperature, is in progress. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of NGC 6388, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Aug 18, observations of IGR J17498-2921, which were accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time TOO on Aug 19, and an observation of M31* coordinated with the VLA. |
