Coordinate Observation: PREFERRED
Observatory: MEERKAT
Description: The source will be observed by MeerKAT as part of the X-KAT LArge Survey Program (PI: R. Fender) next week. Once we have a schedule, we will contact the Nicer PI to request the Nicer observation to be performed as close in time as possible. We note however that given the flux stability shown by the source, perfect simultaneity between X-rays and radio would be preferred but not mandatory.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 15.000
