ASCA weekly

[nagase@astro.isas.ac.jp]

Dear ASCA users,

Please find the short-term ASCA observation schedule during the period
from December 16 to the end of 1998.  We complete AO-6 guest observations
by this  schedule. Please confirm that all the priority-A and -B targets,
except for those intentionally carried over, were observed or allocated
into the observation schedule. AO-7 guest observations will start from
January 4, 1999. The high voltage of GIS  has been in off-reduction  mode
from last night  (Nov. 16 16:30) to avoid the influence by Leonid meteor 
shower , which will be turned on tomorrow (Nov. 18 17:40). The ASCA attitude
has being kept to the direction of RX J0136-31 (sun angle = 90 deg.) 
during the new year take-off of the ASCA operation.

F. Nagase
