Dear ASCA users, Please find below an ASCA short-term observation schedule for the period of May 5-16. We will take off the release of the ASCA short-term schedule for two weeks due to my absence from ISAS. Next short-term will be released in the week of April 13. I have checked the observation log for the last quater of AO5 observations. A list of incompleted observations is shown at the bottom of this mail. Among the four targets that did not satisfy the completion criterion, we plan to add supplemental observation for TRAPEZIUM_2 (PI:CAILLAULT) and NGC2300_GP_1 (PI:FUKAZAWA). The net exposure times for NGC_4192_1 (PI:MUSHOTZKY) and NGC_4192_2 (PI: MUSHOTZKY) are slightly smaller than the completion criterion (i.e., 75% for priority-2 targets). However, I do not plan at moment to add supplemental observations for these two, since the required additional exposures are small. If, however, the PI verify that even the small addition is inevitably necessary to complete the project I will reconsider to supplement these incomplete observations. F.
