NICER observation list: Target ID 467601

Abstract

We propose NICER observations of the Gamma-ray binary PSR B1259-63 simultaneous to guaranteed TESS and Swift spanning the TESS Sector 38 Timeframe. Consisting of a 48 ms pulsar and an O9.5 Ve star with a circumstellar disk inclined to the orbital plane, B1259 shows double-peaked emission at radio, X-ray and TeV energies as the pulsar crosses the Be disk along with powerful flares at GeV energies that at times exceeds the spin-down power of the pulsar. The GeV flares are delayed by 30-45 days and persist up to 90 days from periastron. Our goal is to monitor the evolution of the 1-10 keV spectrum to probe key physical properties of the termination shock and discriminate between the synchrotron or IC losses driving the strong GeV flares using a discrete cross-correlation function.
