IXPE Cycle 1 Recommended Targets



Recommended Targets sorted by RA, click here to sort by proposal number.

Definition of Columns
  1. Prop: Proposal number assigned by the IXPE mission.
  2. Target: Target name as listed on proposal forms, in some cases modified for clarity.
  3. PI: Principal Investigator's name.
  4. RA: Right Ascension (equinox J2000) in degrees.
  5. Dec: Declination (equinox J2000) in degrees.
  6. Time: Total observing time recommended in ksec.
  7. Category: L indicates a Large Program. Categories A or C were assigned during the Cycle 1 peer review. ToO targets are indicated as T and are also category A for regular programs. If the category letter is not capitalized, e.g., "t" this indicates alternative targets, i.e. no additional time is granted. Category A targets are guaranteed to be observed. The IXPE project expects to be able to observe ~50% of Category C targets.
  8. NICER: Approved NICER exposure time through IXPE review.
