| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
A Chandra press release was issued on Sep 14 describing observations of BP Piscium (BP Psc). BP Psc appears to be a more evolved version of our Sun, but with a dusty and gaseous disk surrounding it. A pair of jets several light years long blasting out of the system in opposite directions has also been seen in optical data. While the disk and jets are characteristics of a very young star, several clues -- including the new results from Chandra -- suggest that BP Psc is not what it originally appeared to be. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/10_releases/press_091410.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of XTE J1728-295, which was accepted as a target of opportunity on Sep 14 and an observation of Ceph C coordinated with Spitzer. |
