Specific Time: Y
Start: 2023-08-07 00:00 UTC
End: 2023-08-13 00:00 UTC
Remarks: Observations should be simultaneous with GTC. Thus,according to visibility tool, NICER should cover the following windows A: 2023-08-07 21:52:20 to 2023-08-07 22:31:20 2023-08-07 23:25:00 to 2023-08-08 00:04:20 B: 2023-08-08 21:05:20 to 2023-08-08 21:43:40 2023-08-08 22:38:20 to 2023-08-08 23:16:40 C: 2023-08-10 21:05:20 to 2023-08-10 21:42:40 2023-08-10 22:38:20 to 2023-08-10 23:15:40
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: GTC
Description: Fast optical observations will be perfomed with HIPERCAM, a 4-colour high time resolution photometer which can reach few ms time resolution. This will allow us to characterize broaband optical variability and measure the correlation with NICER.
