Dear ASCA users, I am sending an ASCA observation schedule for the period of February 11-22. Two announcements are made on the observation and operation. (1) In the AO4 we made merging for a few targets between US and ESJ proposals to make final balance of exposure time. Four ESJ proposals that include Japanese CoIs explicitly in the list were considered for the targets of merging but we missed to cite one of the four in the list of accepted targets released. That is NGC 985, which should appear in the MUJ category, with Fiore as PPI and Reynolds as CoPI. I apologize that we missed to cite Reynolds to be a CoPI of the target. (2) The FACOM main frame computers of ISAS, that are engaged to control ISAS satellite operation and original telemetry data reduction, are now planned to be replaced in middle February. Hence the reduction of telemetry data and production of FRF will be delayed for about two weeks for the observations in middle and late February and the delay will be recovered by the end of March.
