Dear ASCA users, A new activity of the Rapid burster was reported and we received a request of an ASCA TOO observation of the burster . We accepted the request and allocated the TOO observation on March 26 20:00 to March 28 1:40 for a net exposure of 40 ksec. The observations for the replaced targets, G28.8+1.5_NS and G28.8+1.5_NW (PI*: F. Nagase for both) are shifted to the next schedule. F.
