The Sun is not available on the scan plane. Data from viewing period 208 were delivered to the Compton GRO Science Support Center archive last week. The targets during this period were NGC 4507 and NGC 6814. The outburst lasted from April 6 to May 12. The pulse timing delays indicate a binary orbit with a period of approximately 40 days.
Orbital analyses are underway.
The source was first detected on May 8. By general consensus, the annular solar eclipse of May 10 was a spectacular event. Viewing conditions at UNH were excellent, and all those present enjoyed the rare phenomenon.
