During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. Real-time procedures were executed on Sep 16 to disable SCS-29 and to dump and clear the EPS glitch counters as post-eclipse season actions. Chandra passed through the 12th and 13th (and final) eclipses of the season on Sep 13 and 16, respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance. A Chandra image release was issued on Sep 19 describing a galaxy cluster, Zwicky 8338, at about 670 million light-years from Earth, that is the result of a collision of predecessor galaxy clusters. Chandra data show that Zwicky 8338 contains two rapidly-moving galaxies with interacting streams of multimillion degree gas stripped from them as they travel through the cluster. For details, see https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2024/z8338/ The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below, and includes observations of BZCam coordinated with HST, and observations of GX339-4, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Sep 19 and is coordinated with XMM-Newton. |
