Remarks: This is a simultaneous observation with AstroSat. The 10 ks NICER observation can be spread over the AstroSat observation, but it should strictly fall in the AstroSat observing window in order to get the simultaneous data. The expected date of AstroSat observation is 2020 September 08 20:30UTC (MJD 59100.85416667). We will confirm the exact observing window as soon as possible.

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y

Observatory: ASTROSAT
Description: RXTE was the workhorse in the field of rapid time variability during 1996-2012. Now, LAXPC instrument onboard AstroSat effectively replace RXTE and contributing to the rapid variability studies in the 3 80 keV energy band. The large effective area and superior time resolution make the LAXPC an ideal instrument to explore the timing properties of XRBs in the hard X-ray band.
