Target Info

Target Name: 4U 1735-44
Target No.: 2185
Category: X-RAY BINARIES
Coordinates[J2000]: (264.74290, -44.45000)

Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: Three 1-ks observations per week during the period Mar 5 - Mar 31, 2020, or until the VLT has observed the target. This exposure is sufficient to collect enough counts to determine the source's state.

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Preferred
Observatory: VERY LARGE TELESCOPE
Description: The VLT observations are dynamically scheduled. Therefore, we have a script that checks every minute whether the observation has started. Once it has, we will (via the same script) send an email to the NICER schedulers. The observations can be scheduled as closely in time as possible, although we note that strict simultaneity is not required for our science case.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 1100.000
