End: 2020-12-04 00:00 UTC
Remarks: Only one of the 10 XMM observations has so far been scheduled on the XMM short term plan. Another window exists for the observations: MJD 59328-59334 (Apr 2021). It is likely the remaining XMM observations will be split over these two windows, although it is possible for them all to be in the first window.

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y

Observatory: XMM-Newton
Description: The NICER observations must be taken simultaneously with our planned XMM-newton observations. For phase-resolved spectroscopy, XMM detected QPO can be used to phase-bin the NICER data (i.e it is fine if only part of the 3 ks QPO waveform is observed in one go).

Uninterrupted: Y

Justification: Uninterrupted is preferred, but not critical. The NICER observations can be spread out over the XMM campaign, but we would prefer them to be consecutive/clustered if possible.

Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 21.000
