FUSE Cycle 8
Long Observations
NASA estimates that single-target integration times >~ 70 ksec can be obtained on a significant number of targets during Cycle 8.
- Targets with absolute declinations > 60 degrees have the best visibility.
- Targets with the best visibility (|dec|>60 degrees) have been observed for ~150 ksec within a one week interval.
- Multiple visits (60 day visibility periodicity) will result in longer cumulative integration times.
- The feasibility of a particular target can be estimated using
the FUSE Sky Plots
and, with more detail, by using the Observing
Time Histograms .
