ASCA weekly

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

Dear ASCA users,

Please find below  an ASCA short-term observation schedule for
the period of May 5-16. We will take off the release of the ASCA 
short-term schedule for two weeks due to my absence from ISAS. 
Next short-term will be released in the week of April 13.

I have checked the observation log for the last quater of AO5
observations. A list of incompleted observations is shown at
the bottom of this mail. Among the four targets that did not satisfy
the completion criterion, we plan to add supplemental observation
for TRAPEZIUM_2 (PI:CAILLAULT) and NGC2300_GP_1 (PI:FUKAZAWA).
The net exposure times for NGC_4192_1 (PI:MUSHOTZKY) and
NGC_4192_2 (PI: MUSHOTZKY) are slightly smaller than the completion
criterion (i.e., 75% for priority-2 targets). However, I do not plan 
at moment to add supplemental observations for these two, since
the required additional exposures are small. If, however, the PI verify 
that even the small addition is inevitably necessary to complete the 
project I will reconsider to supplement these incomplete observations.
