Dear ASCA users, I am sending a short term ASCA schedule for the period of February 22 to March 4. In this period we allocate three time constraint targets and a TOO observation. The TOO is allocated on February 26 for the Galactic center X-ray repeter/pulsator which is expected to be active at this earliest opportunity in the ASCA visible window. For Gamma Cas, XTE observation will be coordinated. F.
