ASCA Weekly

[Fumiaki NAGASE <nagase@astro.isas.ac.jp>]

Dear ASCA users:

I am sending an ASCA observation schedule for the period of July 16 
to July 29. In this period we have allocated two big projects; 
one Jupiter-SL9 encounter, the other 200 ksec continual observation of 
MCG-6-30-15. 
Five segments of Jupiter observation are as follow,  
	PT1; persistent background, 
	PT2; CL9 & D18, 
	PT3; G15 & H14, 
	PT4; L11,  
	PT5; Q2, Q1 & R6, 
some events among these may not be observable due to SAA passages or 
the Earth occultations at the time of encounter. 
   The observation of PKS1209-52, PT2 (PI: R. Petre) was shifted half
a day from the previous schedule. At the end of this week we allocated
80 ksec observation of Cas A for calibrating the history of change of 
the SIS CTI, two pointing for each chip of SIS, each 10 ks 
(i.e., 2x4x10 ksec = 80 ksec).
