AO3 observation status

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

Dear ASCA users,

I have reviewed current status of ASCA observation for AO3. Followins are
the list of
	1. Targets to be schedule for Dec 1995,
	2. XTE targets that are delayed until next year,
	3. Targets that were removed from the long-term schedule, and
	4. Targets that need additional observation.
Observations of targets in Table 1 will be scheduled in the first two weeks
of December. Supplemental observations for targets in Table 4 will be allocated
in the earliest opportunity of next window.

Regards,
F. Nagase

3. Targets that were removed from the long-term schedule:

* Makashima's Priority C target was dropped in favor of TOO NOVA SCO (Aug 1995).
* N132D was not needed for calibration.
* In addition to the avove two drop-out, the exposure time for Koyama's Galactic 
	Ridge survey project was reduced from 50 ksec to 35 ksec to allocate the 
	rest to TOO observation.


4. Targets that need additional observation to supply the insufficient exposure:

* These supplements are based on the survay of observation log between 95 March 1 to
	95 October 6. 	A few more supplements will be added later for the AO3 observations
	between October 7 and end of AO3 (middle Decmber), since already we have
	information of emergent cancellation of scheduled DNS telemetry down-link.
* ESO 103-G35 was a priority-A target of AO2 of approved time 40 ksec. Unfortunately,
	we met trouble again in the supplement observation, and added exposure time
	was very small and useless. A full re-observation for the supplement will be
	planned again in the next window.
