To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 11 Jul 07, 12:00noon EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2007-07-11 L2911 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Jul_11_2007_L2911.txt. Shift L2911. Start at 192:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 11 Jul EDT End 10:00am 11 Jul SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 192.) PLAN ---- Continue running load JUL0907B. Finish obsid 7919, an ACIS-S observation of the massive cluster of galaxies XMM2215-1738 at redshift 1.45. Then do obsid 7608, an ACIS-S observation of the core-collapse supernova SN 2005db two years after it exploded. Obsid's 7361 and 7363 are ACIS-S/HETG observations coordinated near-simultaneously with Spitzer to study synchrotron and inverse-Compton emission in the gamma ray blazars 3C279 and 3C454.3. Obsid 7764 is an ACIS-S observation of UGC 1455 as part of a program to search for AGN activity in low surface brightness galaxies. Obsid 7849 is an ACIS-S observation of NGC 1400, as part of a program to look for low-level nuclear activity in nearby, low-mass galaxies. Then obsid 8566 will continue the observation of XMM2215-1738.

EPH temp: 98.62 degF EPH 27V: 14.64 NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day. No issues. One stored command segment was uplinked, on-board loads are good until 195:14:32. CAP642CE was run to perform the monthly ephemeris update. JUL1607 products expected out this morning for a load review at 2pm this afternoon. Pre-approved CAP 898 will be run this afternoon to set the short eclipse flag to TRUE for the final eclipse of the season. CXC-DS/Dataops software upgrade yesterday was completed successfully. ACE solar protons have risen a factor of ~100 across the 0.04 to 2 MeV spectrum, starting about 02:00 on day 192. In particular the 115 to 195 keV channel is about 3000 particles/cm2-s-ster-MeV, which is about 10% of the level at which we would consider stopping the loads. All other particle indicators, including EPHIN and GOES, and solar X-ray flux, remain near background levels.
