C. Kouveliotou (MSFC/NSSTC), D. Palmer (LANL), on behalf of
a large ToO collaboration, report:
Chandra target-of-opportunity (ToO) observation of SGR 1627-41 has been
approved and scheduled for 40 ks. The scheduled Chandra observation
window is following:
Start Time: 06/03/08 10:35 UT
Stop Time: 06/03/08 21:42 UT
RXTE is planning to monitor SGR 1627-41 during this Chandra ToO period.
Swift will maximize the amount of time that SGR1627-41 is in the BAT
field of view during the Chandra viewing period.
The scheduling of contemporaneous observations at other wavelengths
is strongly encouraged.
