| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
Chandra passed through the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth eclipses of the 2010 summer season on June 4, 7, and 9 respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance. A real-time procedure was executed on June 10 to update the on-board ephemeris. A Chandra image release was issued on June 9 of CH Cyg, a "symbiotic" star system in which a white dwarf feeds from the wind of a companion red giant star. The composite image, of data from Chandra, HST and VLA, shows a recent powerful jet in CH Cyg. The material in the jet is moving with a speed of over three million miles per hour and is powered by material spinning in the accretion disk around the white dwarf. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2010/chcyg/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below. |
