ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: IXPE
Description: IXPE observation of 4U 1820-303 is scheduled with point and stare strategy in the October 11-13 period. IXPE gives the opportunity to observe for the first time the X-ray polarimetric properties of this source polarization degree and angle that jointly with NICER spectral and timing data allow to constrain the different physical parameters of this source.
