| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A real-time procedure was completed on Mar 20 to update the on-board ephemeris. A press release was issued on Mar 25 describing how Chanda results have made a major advance in explaining how a special class of black holes may shut off the high-speed jets they produce. These results suggest that these black holes have a mechanism for regulating the rate at which they grow. For further details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/09_releases/press_032509.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below. |
