NICER observation list: Target ID 663402

Abstract

Observing campaigns of black hole and neutron star transients have long relied on triggers from X-ray all-sky monitors or wide-field cameras. However, due to the limited sensitivity of these instruments, the early rising phase of outbursts is typically missed. Here we propose a NICER monitoring program of known transient LMXBs that is triggered by detections of optical outburst activity with the Faulkes Telescopes/XB-NEWS. This allows us to catch transients as they emerge from quiescence in X-rays. With our program with aim to test the disk-instability model in LMXBs, follow the early X-ray spectral/variability evolution of an outburst, and search for extended absorbing structures. We request monitoring campaigns for two transients, each with daily 2 ks observations for 20 days.
