Target Info

Target Name: ERO-QPE2
Target No.: 5455
Category: ACTIVE GALAXIES AND QUASARS
Coordinates[J2000]: (38.70404, -44.32546)

Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: We request one visit every 2 days. The current fit finds a modulation with 30d, but mostly driven by the high-precision XMM points sampled indeed 30d. Intermediate NICER-XRT points might appear to distribute as residuals with a smaller P_mod. We aim to test this now.
Phase Dependent: N

Start: 2024-08-23 16:58 UTC
End: 2024-09-20 00:00 UTC
Remarks: The time intervals will be provided in a separate email, with explanatory plots. If the first data refine the model, we will provide updated ephemeris over time.
