NICER detection of periodicity in the new X-ray transient MAXI J0901-531
Abstract
Following the discovery of the new X-ray transient MAXI J0901-531 (ATel #14555), we triggered observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) that started on 2021 April 16 at 19:48 UT and obtained a total exposure of ~9.25 ks. The pointing direction was the Swift localization from ATel #14557.
