Remarks: Simultaneous observations will be performed with the fast optical photometer SiFAP2 mounted at the 3.6-meter INAF Telescopio Nazionale Galileo from 2023-12-23T00:30 to 2023-12-23T03:00 (UTC).
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: INAF-GALILEO TELESCOPE/SIFAP2
Description: The magnetar SGR 0501+4516 will be observed with the fast optical photometer TNG/SiFAP2 from 2023-12-23T00:30 to 2023-12-23T03:00 (UTC). We aim at searching for fast optical bursts and X-ray simultaneous observations are of paramount importance to assess their astrophysical origin. SiFAP2 indeed observed an excess of fast optical bursts in the direction of the magnetar SGR 1935+2154.
Uninterrupted: Y
Justification: Given the simultaneous observations in the optical band, an uninterrupted observation during the coordinated time would be of paramount importance to detect the event in different bands.
