Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: Since each NICER observation of a source is about 38 to 40 minutes long, we will split the requested observation time in several sessions. All sessions will be coordinated with the Parkes radio telescope scheduler.
Phase Dependent: N

Remarks:
Specific Time: Y
Start: 2021-10-06 00:00 UTC
End: 2022-03-29 00:00 UTC
Remarks: All NICER observations will be coordinated with the Parkes radio telescope scheduling team.
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: PARKES RADIO TELESCOPE
Description: The Parkes radio telescope is located in Australia and is administered by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The source of interest in this proposal has been frequently observed with the Parkes radio telescope and therefore guarantees a detection of its radio giant pulse emission.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 18.000
