Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: We request 10x500s observations, either as a single or multiple ObsIDs. However, any time granted simultaneous with the both XRISM and NuSTAR, or with only the XRISM observation is strongly beneficial, even if short of the total requested time.
Phase Dependent: N

Specific Time: Y
Start: 2024-04-07 16:48 UTC
End: 2024-04-10 00:00 UTC
Remarks: We request 10x500s observations, either as a single or multiple ObsIDs. However, any time granted simultaneous with the XRISM observation is strongly beneficial, even if short of the requested time. Furthermore, if possible, observations during the NICER night time would be particularly useful.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: NUSTAR AND XRISM
Description: XRISM will observe Cygnus X-1 for a total of 100ks. NuSTAR will schedule a simultaneous 30ks observation. It would be particularly useful if at least part of the NICER observations overlap with both the NuSTAR and XRISM observations. We request 10x500s observations. However, any time granted simultaneous with the XRISM observation is strongly beneficial, even if short of the requested time.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 4500.000
