Subject: JEM-X Monday Meeting 2006-04-24

Present: NL, CAO, CBJ, SB, NJW.

JEM-X status (SB): Nominal, no hot spot.

TM allocations in the future (NL): The increased background rate causes
     problems for SPI and IBIS, so they want to take over the single HK packet
     from the dormant JEM-X instrument. Thus the DFEE of that instrument
     will be switched off.
     We are not sure of the consequenses for the temperature, but the
     effect is probably very minor, since the DFEE is separated from the
     detector itself.

     Other non-JEM-X changes: SPI will reduce its timing precision.
     Short science windows are to be avoided. PICsIT TM during slews
     to be skipped and other internal shifting around.

SPIE workshops (CBJ): NJW input on sensitivity. NL input on general status.
     NL sky image of galactic center. Deadline: upload 28/4.

Moscow workshop (NL): NB Hotel reservations. NL paper accepted, catalog poster
     accepted.
