To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 17 Feb 2011, 10:00 EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2011-02-17 L4228 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc-dmz/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Feb_17_2011_L4228.txt (NOTE NEW LOCATION FOR THE REPORTS DIRECTORY AS OF DEC 2010) Shift L4228. Start at 48:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 17 Feb EST End 10:00am 17 Feb SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 48.) PLAN ---- Continue running load FEB1311A. Finish obsid 13225, a DDT ACIS-S observation of the neutron star CXOGClb J174804.8-244648 to study crust cooling. Then do obsid 13197, an ACIS-S/HETG calibration observation of Gx 13+1 to cross calibrate the continuous-clocking graded mode with continuous-clocking faint mode and with timed exposure modes of ACIS. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day. No issues. FEB2111A products were reviewed and approved yesterday. ACE soft protons continuing to rise slowly. Flux around 3000/(cm^2 s ster Mev). We are expecting two CME to hit today, so rates may rise more steeply. Plumbing work in TST room (penthouse drains) was done yesterday, but not yet completed. Working in control room today. Wet insulation above OPS2 will be replaced tomorrow. TBD on further TST room work. CAP 648EP review at 11:30am today on 111165#, to review a revised format for this pre-approved ephemeris update CAP.
