During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. Real-time procedures were executed on Sep 20 to prepare for the Lunar eclipse: one to activate SCS 29 and one to dump and clear the EPS glitch counters. Chandra passed through a penumbral lunar eclipse on Sep 21 with nominal power and thermal performance. Real-time procedures were executed on Sep 21 to disable SCS-29 and to dump and clear the EPS glitch counters as post-eclipse season actions. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below, and includes observations of IIZw40 coordinated with XMM-Newton, and observations of AT2025ulz, which are a follow-up to a Target of Opportunity accepted on Aug 21. |
