Specific Time: Y

Start: 58568.600
End: 58571.000
Remarks: see box below on coordinated observation for better explanation of time ranges. This is just to specify relevant dates. "Urgency" of "next day" entered above on justification is worst case for achieving simultaneity.

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y

Observatory: SOUTH AFRICA LARGE TELESCOPE (SALT)
Description: This is the first attempt at achieving simultaneity with the South African optical observers. Optical observers will be trying to observe within time windows of ~1800 to 2300 on March 25-28. If the NICER target and time are known in advance this will help optimize optical coverage. A similar proposal is being made for VV Pup. This one, for VV Pup, is regarded as lower priority of the two.

Uninterrupted: N

Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 1.000
