This list contains the targets recommended by the review panels for the various Cycles of Guest Observer (GO) proposals up to and including Cycle 15. Notice that not all entries in this list will actually be observed, since it includes observations of Targets of Opportunity (ToOs) which may never be triggered. Also note that multiple pointings at a particular target are permitted. This database table was updated by the HEASARC periodically, based on information provided by the RXTE Guest Observer Facility (GOF).
