Remarks: We are planning to observe simultaneously at optical wavelengths. In order to maximise simultaneous X-ray/Optical coverage, we request to observe with NICER during the following time slots: 59467.22060185 - 59467.24513889 59467.28518519 - 59467.30972222
ToO: Y
Coordinate Observation: Y
Observatory: NEW TECHNOLOGY TELESCOPE
Description: We have guaranteed observing time with the ULTRACAM instrument mounted on the 3.8 m New Technology Telescope to perform simultaneous optical observations of 4FGL J0407.7-5702.
Uninterrupted: Y
Justification: We would like to sample the light curve at multiple wavelengths for the longest time possible as we would like to observe the transitions between the high and the low modes and also look for flares.
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 0.230
