Chandra Digest (Mar 13): Twin Quasars

NEW IMAGE!!!

** Quasar Pair Q2345+007A,B: Twin Quasars Tango And It's No Mirage The Chandra image of the twin quasars Q2345+007 A, B shows that they are not identical twins. This means that it is unlikely that they are an optical illusion, rather, they were probably created by merging galaxies. http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2002/1273/index.html

** Operations CXO Status Report (Friday 03/08/02)

During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include an observation of the Seyfert Galaxy NCG 4388 that was accepted as a Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on 3 March following its detection in outburst. An observation of NCG 1265 was impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled in a later load. http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/updates/update_030802.html
