Corrections to ASCA newsletter articles

ASCA Newsletter recipients,

The recent issue of ASCANews (number 5) contained some inaccuracies and
difficult-to-read images.

In the article "Accuracy of the GIS Time Assignment", by Saito, et al.
(page 35) the figure caption for Figure 6 was incorrect. It should read:

        Pulse profiles of PSR B1821-24 obtained at three time spans. Top is
        2:50 ~ 7:10 (8.6 ksec), middle is 7:40 ~ 15:00 (14.2ksec), and
        bottom is 15:50 ~ 18:20 (7.0 ksec).

Also, the equation on page 42 was incorrect in that two of the
exponents were printed as positive when they should be negative. The
correct equation is:

        delta f    <                   T
        -------    -   3 x 10^-8 (------------)^-1   s/s
           f                       1 x 10^4

These corrections and improved-quality images are available on the Web
version of the Newsletter, which is available at:

We regret these errors.
