During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. An aspect camera dark current calibration was performed from the on-board loads on Oct 16. An assessment of the data indicates nominal aspect camera performance and that the number of CCD warm pixels is increasing at the expected rate. A Chandra image release was issued on Oct 21 containing six new images from Chandra's vast archive. Each of the images combines X-rays from Chandra with data from other telescopes. The images represent a tiny fraction of data that is now housed in Chandra's archive from over the mission's 15 years of operation. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/photo/2014/archives/ Of note this week was the Chandra User Committee meeting held at the CXC on Oct 23-24. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below. |
