Target Info

Target Name: BL LACERTAE
Target No.: 5180
Category: ACTIVE GALAXIES AND QUASARS
Coordinates[J2000]: (330.68038, 42.27777)
Exp (ks): 15
Extended: N

Extent Size:

Background Restriction: N

Remarks:

Constraint Details

Monitor: Y

Criteria: If possible, the NICER observations should be split in observations of 1-2 ks each. A cadence of one visit every approximately 5-15 ks should be optimal in order to study the variability within each visit and, considering all visits, on a time-scale of 2 days. A different splitting of the single visits is reasonable to be fit in the NICER schedule.
