NICER observation list: Target ID 460402

Abstract

During its ongoing all sky survey, SRG/eROSITA is rapidly uncovering an increasing number of transients associated with the nuclei of galaxies which show no obvious signatures of prior AGN activity. A significant fraction of these events is expected to be associated with tidal disruptions events (TDE). However, already the first results from dedicated follow-up campaigns of eROSITA-discovered events demonstrate that the reality is likely much more diverse, and that deviations from the standard TDE scenario are common. Here, we ask for NICER ToO observations for monitoring 10 eROSITA discovered non-AGN nuclear transients. The NICER data will provide vital information on the temporal and spectral evolution of this non-AGN nuclear transients population and help deciphering their nature.
