NICER observation list: Target ID 765701

Abstract

A bright X-ray source was observed coincident with the unidentified Fermi-LAT source 4FGL J1015.5-6030. Follow-up observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton revealed bright extended emission surrounding a point source and a spectrum consisting of a blackbody plus power-law component. The extended emission, X-ray and GeV spectrum, and lack of any multiwavelength counterpart strongly suggest this source is a pulsar hosting a pulsar wind nebula. XMM-Newton timing mode observations were carried out, but did not detect pulsations down to an intrinsic pulsed fraction of 24%. Here we propose NICER observations, which will allow us to detect pulsations down to a much deeper limit on the intrinsic pulsed fraction of ~10%.
