To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 10 Mar 2011, 10:00 EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2011-03-10 L4249 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc-dmz/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Mar_10_2011_L4249.txt (NOTE NEW LOCATION FOR THE REPORTS DIRECTORY AS OF DEC 2010) Shift L4249. Start at 069:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 10 Mar EST End 10:00am 10 Mar SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 069.) PLAN ---- Continue running load MAR06B. Continue obsid 12250, an ACIS-I observation of A853 as part of a volume limited sample of lower mass systems, to calibrate X-ray mass against mass estimated via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. Then do obsid 12822, an ACIS-I observation of the merging galaxies GZ_merger_AGN_12 to search for binary AGN. Then do a series of 6 calibration observations of A1795 to monitor the contamination build-up on ACIS-I. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- At present rates, fluence will be 7.67E8 at next comm, about 2E9 at RADMON. But rates are decreasing steeply, so we may avoid a shutdown. A telecon after the standup meeting decided that we would send normal email this afternoon to call for a 3:30pm EST teleconif the rates were high enough that there would be any potential for shutdown prior to next RADMON disable at 70:22:01 (Friday 5:01pm EST). From the 9am status meeting: Three supports, no issues. One stored command sequence uplinked, on-board loads good until 072:17:55. MAR1411A products have just been released for load review at 3pm today. The gyro 2 current 1 has spiked above the 150ma yellow limit during the night. (Back at 117.6 at present). The Mar 7 CME has hit, ACE soft protons peaked above 50000(?) at about 0600. Will need to watch through the day. There will be a 7th floor power outage Saturday, between passes. Backup power will be available.
