NICER observation list: Target ID 467901

We propose to observe a new X-ray source detected during the scan of the SRG mission for 40 ksec with NICER jointly with NuSTAR for 55 ksec. We have optically identified it to be most likely a magnetic cataclysmic variable. We plan to recover the white dwarf spin period, the orbital period and other sideband frequencies or QPOs to confirm the magnetic nature and characterize the X-ray spectrum (measuring temperature, flux, soft excess) over the wide energy range of 0.3-78 recovering emission lines and absorption components in the NICER energy band together with the 6-7 keV line complex and any Compton reflection component in the NuStar range. We will study orbit/spin phase-resolved spectra using NICER that will yield important details on accretion processes and geometry of the source.
