Monitoring of AM Her urgently requested in support of XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations
Active Dates: March 30, 2015 – April 16, 2015
Abstract:
Dr. Axel Schwope (Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, Germany) has requested AAVSO observers' assistance in monitoring the magnetic variable AM Her in support of upcoming XMM-Newton plus NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) observations.
Justification:
The observations are in support of upcoming XMM-Newton plus NuSTAR observations. Timing accuracy is an issue for these observations and all CCD clocks need to be synchronized via NTP.
Requested Data Types:
