Dear ASCA users, I am sending a short-term ASCA observation schedule for the period of January 7 to 20. We will soon release the first version of long-term timeline for all AO4 accepted targets. Next short-term schedule will be release after January 5, 1996. All observers in this list should contact and confirm their observation modes with Takahashi or a NASA/GSFC GOF duty scientist within this year. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
