NICER observation list: Target ID 758201

Abstract

The phenomenon of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) is one of the most tantalizing mysteries in astronomy. However, the mechanism of how magnetars initiate FRBs is poorly understood. In October 2022, this magnetar exhibited FRBs and short X-ray bursts again. During this magnetar outburst, ToO observations and time series analyses with NICER and NuSTAR revealed a pair of glitches that occurred before and after FRBs, associated with a burst forest, providing valuable insights into this mystery. Hence, this proposal aims to prompt and high-cadence X-ray monitoring during an outburst of transient magnetars to investigate their X-ray behaviours and to search for glitches similar to those of SGR 1935+2154 and also for FRB-associated X-ray bursts.
