Coordinate Observation: PREFERRED
Observatory: NUSTAR
Description: We have asked to trigger NuSTAR GO program 08233. Ideally, we would like to observe with NICER during this NuSTAR observation. However, as the variability appears to be low since summer 2023, it is ok to observe within a few days of NuSTAR.
Uninterrupted: N
Justification:
Estimated Count Rate (cts s-1): 1.660
