NICER observation list: Target ID 358502

Abstract

The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) harbor a large sample of Be/X-ray binaries at a moderate and well known distance with low Galactic foreground absorption. However, their transient nature complicates observations in X-rays. We propose five triggered NICER observations of new or unexplored high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the MCs. Our goal is to study their spectral and temporal properties, and build-up a large sample of pulsars in order to study their demographics in the MC system.
