Description: We are not very sure whether the variability found in recent NICER data is caused by background flares or not. Thus a monitoring of EP240425a by Swift in the forthcoming two weeks at a cadence of once per three days is also proposed (https://www.swift.psu.edu/toop/too_detail.php?id=20914). We hope that some of the NICER observations could be arranged in in coordination with Swift.
