Dear ASCA users, We start the observations with the ASCA AO7 program from 1999 January 4. Please find below the first short-term schedule for the interval of January 4 to January 16, 1999. I apologize the delay of the release of this short-term. We are yet working on the long-term timeline and the current short-term schedule is based on a tentative long-term timeline. We will release the long-term timeline for a year of AO7 as early as possible when we get reasonably settled timeline.
