Finish obsid 10067, an ACIS-S observation of the neutron star binary XTE J1701-462 to study the cooling of the neutron star since it has returned to quiescence. Then do obsid 11791, part of an ACIS-I survey to identify high latitude gamma-ray sources discovered by the Fermi satellite. Then do obsid 12006 to acquire more ACIS-S time observing XTE J1701-462.
