Finish obsid 6943, an ACIS-S observation of the galaxy group RXC J1147.3+5544 to test for effects of the dark matter halo. Then do obsid 6703, an ACIS-S observation of 1RXS J140654.5+525316 to search for isolated, radio-quiet neutron stars. Then do obsid 7403, a continuation of the HRC-S/LETG observation of RS Oph to study the shock emission from the 12 February 2006 outburst.
