Dear ASCA users, The ASCA short-term schedule for January 8 to 20 released yesterday is revised on the part after January 12 according to the two requests relating to the delay of XTE launch. NGC 4945 (PI; Madjeski) is shifted to the latest end of GRO window. The 20-ksec observation of Gamma Cas (PI; Corbet) is divided into two 10-ksec observations and first observation is allocated on January 18 in cooperation with the campaign of ASCA, EUVE and ground-based optical observations. The second 10-ksec will leave to the end of February (the latest ASCA window) to get an ASCA-XTE simultaneous observation. F.
