Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: GEMINI
Description: We are aiming to characterize optical variability in X-ray binaries. The fast timing capabilities of Gemini 'Alopeke and Zorro instruments will enable us to explore such variabilities on sub-second timescales. Simultaneous coverage with NICER will enable us to directly link accretion-induced X-ray and optical variability.
