Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: As this outburst has occurred at periastron, we expect it to be of type-I and hence peak in the next 2 weeks before decaying. Hence, we request 6x1ks observations to be separated by 4-5 days to track the evolution of the outburst decay. Precise scheduling is not required. Our requested cadence is flexible and may be modified to fit in the NICER schedule.
