Abstract
We plan to make NICER observations to reveal the nature of the enigmatic class of gamma-ray binaries. We will confirm and study the pulsations recently reported from LS 5039, that would make this the first magnetar-powered gamma-ray binary. We will also make the first NICER observations of two more recently-discovered gamma-ray binaries and perform deep pulsation searches. These searches will make use of sensitive algorithms that account for high accelerations in the massive binary systems.
