During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

We were delighted to hear this week that Harvey Tananbaum was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Please join us in congratulating Harvey for this well deserved recognition of his contributions to science. See: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/advisories/05_advisories/press_050305.html

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of the TOO GX 339-4 coordinated with RXTE, and the 4th in a series of 5 observations of the TOO RXJ0513.9-6951.
