Chandra observation date revised for XZ Tau and HL Tau

Active Dates: Nov. 11, 2018 – Nov. 12, 2018


Abstract:

Chandra is scheduled to observe the T Tauri stars XZ Tau and HL Tau. Observations are requested to identify signatures of accretion shocks on the surface of XZ Tau.

Justification:

The purpose of the Chandra observations are to identify signatures of accretion shocks on the surface of the star and thus determining its outburst state with optical photometry is helpful.
