Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 23 May 2003, 8.30am EDT
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
The IRU-1 gyro-1 current remained at ~150mA (its yellow limit) with
continued noisy behavior separated by quiescent periods.
A Chandra press release was issued on May 21 describing observations
of the two distant galaxies 3C294 and 4C41.17 that show how super
massive black holes control the growth of massive galaxies in the
distant universe. For details see:
http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/03_releases/press_052103.html
Preparations are complete for the May 25-29 American Astronomical
Society (AAS) meeting in Nashville and include two Chandra press
releases.
The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes a
series of observations of the Fornax cluster of galaxies.
