Specific Time: Y
Start: 2022-03-17 00:22 UTC
End: 2022-03-17 07:02 UTC
Remarks: This is the range encompassing the time interval of the VLT observations.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: VLT
Description: The VLT will observe the target using HAWK-I in the J filter, with single exposures of 20 s. The allocated observing window is: Start time: Mar 17 00:15:00 UTC Stop time: Mar 17 06:55:00 UTC The large collecting area and superb time resolution of NICER/XTI will allow us to characterize the X-ray mode switching variability pattern on time scales similar to those of the VLT observations.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 0.800
