Target Info

Target Name: ESO253-G003
Target No.: 5172
Category: ACTIVE GALAXIES AND QUASARS
Coordinates[J2000]: (81.32533, -46.00583)
Exp (ks): 123
Extended: N

Extent Size:

Background Restriction: N

Constraint Details

Monitor: Y

Criteria: We request daily cadence of ASASSN-14ko over the 59086.5-59101.5 period. This will allow us to determine short term changes in the properties in the X-ray emission as the source rises to peak, while we can compare how the nature of the X-ray emission changes with the optical/UV properties of the source.

Phase Dependent: N

Remarks:

Specific Time: Y

Start: 2020-08-25 12:00 UTC
End: 2020-09-09 12:00 UTC
Remarks: The specific time range is needed to coincide with our prediction for the UV/optical outburst.

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y

Observatory: SWIFT + ASASSN + LCOGT
Description: We have approved Swift ToO observations between August 23 - September 7 in order to capture the UV evolution. We also have approved LCOGT spectroscopic and photometric observations at a daily cadence for this same time frame. ASASSN will be observing this galaxy at sub-daily cadence, which is a higher cadence than normal survey operations.

Uninterrupted: N

Justification:

Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 0.134
