ASCA weekly

[nagase@astro.isas.ac.jp]

Dear ASCA users,

We have accepted a 10-ksec TOO observation  of the transient source
XTE J1723-376 and the observation is allocated on March 3, 1999.
This transient, discovered on January 25, is a rare transient with kHz 
QPO and its high state has been continuing with intensity of about 80 
mCrab on February 22. We attempt to refine its position and to get 
low energy spectrum with high resolution. The PI of the observation 
is Frank Marshall,  CoI  Craig Markwardt and Japanese CoIs are TBD.
