Summary of JEM-X Meeting. 17th October 2005

Present: CAO, SB, JC	

INSTRUMENT STATUS:
	- Recent ECAL alert from shift team is just a fairly routine occurrance
	  when the BACKPLANE15 amplifier becomes a  little noisy. CAO to look
	  at the raw ECAL data and ECAL result trends to confirm that this is
	  nothing to worry about
	- Last week's Crab calibration went as planned.
	- In a couple of weeks, further testing with various HV settings will
	  be performed during OMC flat field observation
	- Latter will use untried JEM-X TEST telemetry format, which may 
	  produce some surprises
	  
OSA 5.1
	- Still no news when this will be released. All quiet on the ISDC front.
	- Would be nice to sneak better j_cor_position in with better/stronger
	  hotspot removal included if possible
	- Problems with JEM-X analysis in Paris turned out to be installation
	  problems, but no concrete help from ISDC helpdesk. Is this still
	  functioning as well as it once was?
	
XTE-J1739-285
	- SB has discovered 10 flares over approx. 1 month period of activity
	- Recurrance time estimated at 3-4 hours.
	- Recent XTE TOO saw nothing in 12 hours so looks like object is quiet
	  again
	- Peak curve (summation of 10 flares) indicates Type I x-ray burst,
	  so object is probably a neutron star
	- SB's mosaic gives a peak position within 12 arcsecs of official 
	  position
