Start: 2022-08-31 00:00 UTC
End: 2022-09-21 00:00 UTC
Remarks: As originally stated in the proposal, we need all the NICER/NUSTAR observations to be made within the next 15-20 days, with the first 20ks exposure starting as soon as possible before the source enters a visibility gap from Sep 3 to Sep 8. The next 20ks could be planned just after the gap, and the last 20ks before Sep 20, in principle. We will keep in contact with the NICER/NUSTAR teams for this.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: NUSTAR
Description: This proposal was accepted to perform 60ks NICER observations overlapping as much as possible with 60ks NuSTAR exposures.
Uninterrupted: Y
Justification: We would need as compact as possible observations, but it would still be fine for our scientific goals if the exposure times need to be split according to the visibility constraints.
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 1000.000
