Chandra observation date revised for XZ Tau and HL Tau
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.
