Remarks: The Deep Space Network radio telescopes will be observing this active repeating FRB, starting on: DOY 314 2020-11-09 11:48:18-12:18:18 UTC (duration 30 min)

ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y

Observatory: DEEP SPACE NETWORK
Description: The Deep Space Network is a world-wide array of radio telescopes. We will be using this facility to observe this repeating FRB.

Uninterrupted: Y

Justification: Given the short exposure requested for this observation, we ask that the NICER exposure be continuous to help facilitate the detection of X-ray bursts with a variety of temporal morphologies.

Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 0.030
