ASCA weekly

[nagase@astro.isas.ac.jp]

Dear ASCA users,

We have accepted a TOO observation of the rapidly brightening transient,
XTE J1550-564 which is consider to be a black hole nova. This TOO  by
	PI: F. Marshall, CoI: D. Smith, and Japanese CoIs: TBD,
is allocated on September 12 as shown below. The observation of an
unidentified supernova remnant at l=0.75, b= 1.5 (Un_Id SNR .75+1.5,
PI; K. Koyama) is divided into two segments of 10 and 30 ksec. The 
observation of G11.2-3.2 (PI; K. Torii) will be shifted to the end of 
September. A revised short-term schedule of the week will appear later.
