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 |
2 | Aug 15, 2014 - Aug 23, 2014 | 30 (15x2) | 13.0102 - 13.0142 |
3 | Sep 08, 2014 - Sep 16, 2014 | 60 (30x2) | 13.0221 - 13.0261 |
- 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.
Visit | Observing window | XMM exposure (ksec) | NuSTAR exposure (ksec) | $\Phi$ |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Jun 02, 2014 - Jul 13, 2014 | 12 | 30 | 12.9737 - 12.9939 |

3 | Jul 29, 2014 - Aug 14, 2014 | none | 30 | 13.0018 - 13.0098 |
- 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)
Visit | Observing Interval | Swift exposure (ksec) | frequency | $\Phi$ |
---|---|---|---|---|
1-104 | Apr 01, 2014 - Mar 31, 2015 | 1.5 | 2x per week | 12.941 - 13.121 |
