Constraint Details
Monitor: Y
Criteria: We need two sets of monitoring observations: 10 snapshots (250 s each) per day for 10 days, and then 2 ks per day for 20 days thereafter. We are requesting night time observations to ensure we can robustly establish variability on hours timescale which is critical to understand the nature of the transient.
