Each entry in this table corresponds to a specific proposal/target combination or `complete observation', in contrast to the RXTE Master table in which each entry corresponds to a specific proposal/target/ObsID combination or `observing segment'. A complete observation can consist of many (in some cases dozens) observing segments.
