HEASARC Staff Scientist Position - Applications are now being accepted for a Staff Scientist with significant experience and interest in the technical aspects of astrophysics research, to work in the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, MD. Refer to the AAS Job register for full details.
Below are the targets for the Performance Verification (PV) phase of the XRISM
mission. The PV phase will commence after checkout and calibration and last
for approximately six months. Targets with priority "A" are guaranteed to be
observed. Due to scheduling constraints, a few "A" priority targets may need
to be scheduled after the nominal six month PV phase window. Targets with
priority "C" are not guaranteed to be observed, but will be used to fill
gaps in the schedule when an "A" target is not available. Priority "C"
targets will not be observed after the nominal six month PV window.

is the link to the HEASARC visibility tool, which now includes XRISM.
Depending on the Resolve Gate Valve situation, the required exposure time is separately indicated for the Open Gate
Valve (GVO) and the Closed Gate Valve (GVC).
PV phase data will be proprietary to the XRISM Science Team for a period of
1 year, after which they will be publicly released and archived.
