Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: Monitoring every a few days is desirable because the disk activity changes on a viscous timescale. Once the X-ray flux becomes less than 1e-13 erg/s/cm2 or the main outburst finishes, we finish the monitoring. The main outburst will last for ~1 month.
Phase Dependent: N

Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: OKAYAMA OBSERVATORY
Description: We continue optical spectroscopy by Seimei telescope at Okayama Observatory in Japan. Also, we perform optical photometry via the VSNET team. Strictly simultaneous observations with NICER, however, are not necessary.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 10.000
