NICER observation list: Target ID 559701

Abstract

We propose a ToO follow up program linked to the ongoing Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey. Phase-I covered 10 deg<abs(l)<30 deg and abs(b)>0.5 deg and has detected ~300 sources, of which 150 are new/unclassified transients. Phase-II is covering 30 deg<abs(l)<50 deg and abs(b)>0.5 deg, which similarly to Phase-I, aims 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 Phase-II observations, which will be provided to us through private consultation.
