Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope

Fermi ToO 080601-1-1

A ToO observation to observe 1ES 1959+650 at RA, Dec = 295.0000, 60.1490 (J2000) was approved at 2016-04-29 13:01:47 UTC.

The justification for the ToO is: LAT observed VHE photons up to 200 GeV. MAGIC, FACT, and VERITAS all confirm flaring of this source last night. This is a golden opportunity to measure the spectrum and variability at the highest energies. At these energies, every photon counts.

The planned duration is 150.00 ks.

The autonomous request threshold during this ToO is LOW.

The ToO observation should begin between 2016-04-29 13:01:47 UTC and 2016-05-06 13:01:47 UTC.

The ToO observation was requested by DR. DAVID J THOMPSON.

The ToO commanding order was sent to the MOC at 2016-04-29 13:06:19 UTC.

The MOC sent the ToO execution notification at 2016-04-29 14:52:28 UTC.

The ToO order status is Uplinked: 2016-120-13:37:44
