To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 14 Sep 2011, 10:00 EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2011-09-14 L4437 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/web-cxc-dmz/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Sep_14_2011_L4437.txt (NOTE NEW LOCATION FOR THE REPORTS DIRECTORY AS OF DEC 2010) Shift L4437. Start at 257:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 14 Sep EDT End 10:00am 14 Sep SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 257.) PLAN ---- Continue running load SEP1211B. Finish OBSID 13448, an ACIS-I observation of the outskirts of the cluster of galaxies A133, to investigate the transition to the smooth, relaxed state of the gas and galaxies in the core. Then do OBSID 13209, part of an ACIS-S DDT monitoring series of the Crab Nebula following a gamma ray flare, and to establish a baseline in anticipation of further flaring. Then do OBSID 14224, an ACIS-S ToO observation of XTE J1701-407 to follow the cooling of the neutron star crust. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- Like on the last orbit, ACIS focal plane is running quite warm near apogee, for an observation for which the observer would probably like the best possible gain calibration. From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past 24 hours. No issues. SEP1911 products expected out this morning for a review at 2 or 3 pm EDT this afternoon. Tomorrow morning we will run the pre-approved CAP to update the on-board ephemeris. ACE protons have returned to background level. There was a CME late yesterday which Quick look data: OBSID Target Instr. Status ----- ------ ---------- ------- No New quick-looks today.
