ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: NuSTAR
Description: NICER observations be strictly simultaneous with NuSTAR observations, such that we can make light curves for timing analysis that have the same timestamps in the NICER and NuSTAR data.
Uninterrupted: Y
Justification: As uninterrupted as possible in the two sets of 20ks, given the NuSTAR coordination and ISS pointing/visibility constraints.
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 3500.000
