To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 16 Feb 2011, 10:00 EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2011-02-16 L4227 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc-dmz/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Feb_16_2011_L4227.txt (NOTE NEW LOCATION FOR THE REPORTS DIRECTORY AS OF DEC 2010) Shift L4227. Start at 047:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 16 Feb EST End 10:00am 16 Feb SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 047.) PLAN ---- Continue running load FEB1311A. Measure ACIS on-board cal source while exiting perigee. Then do obsid 12164, an ACIS-I GTO monitoring observation of the M31 bulge, to study black hole X-ray novae in conjunction with HST. Then do obsid 13205, a DDT ToO ACIS-S observation of the Crab Nebula to try to detect changes associated with gamma ray flaring last September. Then do obsid 13097, and ACIS-S/LETG calibration observation of the BL Lac object Mkn 421, to monitor ACIS contamination and cross-calibrate with XMM and Suzaku. Then do obsid 13178, an HRC-I GTO observation of M31 to monitor super-soft sources and X-ray binaries in the core. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day. No issues. One stored command sequence uplinked, on-board loads good until 051:11:16. Pre-approved CAP's 750D, E, F were run to dump OBC memory following yesterdays patch. FEB2111A products were released last night for load review at 2pm today. ACE 115-195 keV protons rising through flux of about 1000. Not yet a concern but may rise futher when a CME hits earth today or tomorrow. GRETA and EHS network passwords were changed at 2pm yesterday. No apparent issues. Quick look data: OBSID Target Time Comment ----- ------ -------------- ------- no new quick looks today.
