Start: 2024-01-10 20:00 UTC
End: 2024-01-12 02:00 UTC
Remarks: The UTC interval covers the two night-time visibility windows from TNG (La Palma). (We note we already attempted this 1 year ago, but we caught the source in a rare state with little variability. No kHz QPOs were detected even in X-rays in those data. This is why we asked and recently obtained to repeat the optical campaign.)
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: TNG (TELESCOPIO NAZIONALE GALILEO)
Description: The ultra-fast optical photometer SiFAP2 (@ 4-m class TNG), will observe 4u0614 for two consecutive nights, performing two 6-hr long observations. Given the visibility of the target, the approximate UTC schedule is: 10-01-2024 20:00 - 11-01-2024 02:00 11-01-2024 20:00 - 12-01-2024 02:00 We request NICER to match as much as possible these, as to maximise the simultaneous coverage of the target.
