Specific Time: Y
Start: 2023-04-12 00:00 UTC
End: 2023-04-16 00:00 UTC
Remarks: We have requested a NuSTAR DDT as well, to be coordinated with a "most likely" Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observing window on April 14, 0400-1000 UTC. (The UTC times are fiixed, but the specific date will be determined by weather and prior EHT observations in the April 2023 campaign.)
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: NUSTAR, EHT
Description: Since the EHT observation date is "best estimate", joint coordination with NuSTAR is highest priority, since that can be "guaranteed". Again, April 14, 0400-1000 UTC is the "most likely" EHT window, and corresponds to very good NICER visibility.
Uninterrupted: N

Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 150.000
