Abstract
We propose a ToO follow up program linked to the ongoing Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey. Phase-I is ~73% complete and has detected 150 sources, of which 110 are new/unclassified transients. Phase-II is covering 30deg<abs(l)<50deg and abs(b)>0.5deg, aimed at mapping X-ray sources with good depth and coverage to enable source identification and multi-wavelength followups. Source identification strongly depends on timing and spectral information to accurately measure time variability and X-ray flux. NICER observations are, therefore, pivotal in source classification. We request 5 ToOs, 10 ks each (total of 50ks), of new sources found in the remaining 27% of Phase-I and/or Phase-II, which will be provided to us through private consultation.
