X-rays

  • Chandra ACIS-S imaging (non-grating): Each exposure is split into 2 observations around the beginning and the end of the observing window. So, we will have 6 observations, in total.
Visit Observing Window Exposure (ksec) $\Phi$
1 Aug 03, 2014 - Aug 09, 2014 70 (35x2) 13.0043 - 13.0073

  • XMM & NuStar: The 1st and 2nd XMM-Newton observations should be simultaneous with the corresponding NuSTAR observations. The 3rd NuSTAR observation may be coordinated with Chandra visit 1.

  • Swift: A proposal submitted for Cycle 10 (Proposal #1013194) was granted a 156 ksec total observing time across X-ray minimum. The XRT will obtain 1.5 ksec observations twice per week for the duration of the Cycle 10 interval (Apr 1 2014 - Mar 31 2015)
