Radiation

No alerts during this period, but active sunspot regions bear watching.

ACIS/Radiation Environment correlations

CTI Trend

Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope 1.364e-8 CTI/day
Detrended slope 1.258e-8 CTI/day

ACIS Warm Pixels

The following pixels consistently showed a bias level more than 5 sigma away the chip's mean level during this period.
We suspect some of the recurring bad pixels may be due to biases which are taken just after perigee, when the focal plane is somewhat warm. For more information see the link above and MTA monthly reports.

ACIS Focal Temperature

For this period, 2 peaks were observed.
Note: No peak observed for DOY 298 perigee passage.

Recent Observations

The ACA Problem is in the specified handling of guide star positional errors.
This issue in not significant to the final product and so is being worked at low priority.

Note: From Oct28 through Oct30, an ACIS Threshold Crossing Plane latchup occurred inFEP3 and FEP4, causing misreporting of events on the connected CCDs. Problem cleared by cycling FEPs.
Affected obsids:
3403 - lost CCD S2 and S4 - HETG obs, may be rescheduled
1902 - lost CCD I3 and S2 - minimal impact, target on S3
2034 - lost CCD I3 and S2 - minimal impact, target on S3
