Description: We received 1 hour of VLA observation time for Aql X-1 to probe radio emission during a thermonuclear burst (ID-VLA/24B-476). We have not received the exact schedule from the VLA observatory yet. I shared the VLA proposal ID to follow up for details. I will share the schedule as soon as I receive it from the VLA observatory. A simultaneous NICER/VLA observation will be highly appreciated.
