| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A Chandra press release was issued on Nov 28 describing observations of the neutron star RX J0822-4300 that show the object is one of the fastest moving stars ever seen. The observations, made over a period of about five years show the neutron star moving away from the center of the Puppis A supernova remnant at a velocity of ~3 millions miles per hour, sufficient to escape the galaxy. For further details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/07_releases/press_112807.html On note this week was the Chandra Quarterly Review conducted on Nov 28-29 in Cambridge. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below. |
