To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 29 Jul 2011, 10:00 EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2011-07-29 L4390 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc-dmz/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Jul_29_2011_L4390.txt (NOTE NEW LOCATION FOR THE REPORTS DIRECTORY AS OF DEC 2010) Shift L4390. Start at 210:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 29 Jul EDT End 10:00am 29 Jul SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 210.) PLAN ---- Continue running load JUL2511A. Finish obsid 13438, an ACIS-I observation of the Sgr A* complex, to study the propagation of the flare presumed from Sgr A* via the fluorescent emission in galactic center filament, thereby constraining characteristics of the flare. Then into perigee passage, which will include a dark current calibration split over the actual perigee time. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- ACIS-I temp at -118.4, out of gain spec for an observation of the Sag A* region. From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day, no issues. First stored command sequence of AUG0111 was uplinked, on-board loads good until 214:04:35. AUG0111A products approved yesterday. AUG0811 in work. 11.8.3.delivered will be installed today. Sun remains quiet but a large coronal hole is rotating into view, so may be some activity later in the week. Quick look data: OBSID Target Instr.
