| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A Chandra image release was issued on Feb 9 describing observations of Arp 147, a spiral galaxy that collided with an elliptical galaxy, triggering a wave of star formation. Many of these newly-born massive stars raced through their lives and ended with supernova explosions, some as black holes. A ring of these black holes can be seen in the Chandra data around the spiral galaxy. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2011/arp147/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of 1 HESS J0632+057 which was accepted as Director's Discretionary Time TOO on Feb 9, an observation of CXOGClb J174804.8-244648, which was accepted as Director's Discretionary Time TOO on Jan 24, and a follow-up DDT TOO observation of the Crab. |
