Specific Time: Y
Start: 2022-01-28 22:29 UTC
End: 2022-02-26 06:00 UTC
Remarks: INAF Asiago Obs. will observe the source from Jan 28 to Feb 3 (except Feb 1), each day from 22.30 UT to 03:30 UT. INAF TNG Obs. will observe the pulsar on Feb 26 (00-06 UT). To maximize the scientific return of the observation, we propose that at least 3/4ks of NICER observations overlap with each of these optical observations.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: INAF GALILEO TELESCOPE, INAF ASIAGO TELESCOPE
Description: We request coordination with Aqueye+ at 1.8m INAF-Asiago Observatory (arXiv:1505.07339, < 0.5 ns absolute time accuracy), which will observe the source from Jan28 to Feb3 22.30-3.30 UT (except Feb1). and SiFAP at 3.6m INAF-TNG observatory (~20 mus time accuracy, improved by a factor of 3 with respect to the previous version) which will observe on Feb 26, 00-06 UT.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 4.400
