revised ASCA observation plan



The following is a message sent by Fumiaki Nagase, regarding the
changes to the ASCA timeline caused by Typhoon Yancy...


Dear ASCA Team members:

I am sending a weekly observation plan for September 13 to 21,  
in addition to the plans of the previous two weeks which are changed 
because of the event of Typhoon that hit KSC. The timeline for the lest 
targets has been changed, since RX0459+5147, parts of Perseus cluster 
and QSF3,  A493 and N132D were cancelled because of the typhoon event. 
At present we are waiting for the 20 meter antenna being repaired and 
expect that we can start ASCA operation after tomorrow (September 8) 
morning. If the antenna is not available in tomorrow morning,  
we will skip PKS0548-322 and the source will be allocated 
in late October. When we start stable operation, we will issue the 
revised timeline for the rest targets.

Regards,
Fumiaki
