Remarks: TNG/SiFAP2 observations will be performed on: - October 5, 2024, from 20:15:00 UT to 23:59:59 UT - October 6, 2024, from 20:15:00 UT to 23:09:59 UT The observations have already been scheduled.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: TELESCOPIO NAZIONALE GALILEO/SIFAP2
Description: We propose to perform NICER observations simultaneously with already accepted and scheduled TNG/SiFAP2 observations. We aim to detect X-ray bursts from Aql X-1 and their optical counterpart.
Uninterrupted: Y
Justification: Given the simultaneous observations in the optical bans, an uninterrupted observation during the coordinated time would be of paramount importance to detect the X-ray/optical bursts.
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 3000.000
