Notes. Event arrival times used in the timing analysis were baricentrically corrected using the updated X-ray sky position of 104.313838deg/26.07500deg and the JPL DE405 solar system ephemeris.

(a)

Elapsed time between the first and last photon of the observation.

(b)

Frequency step used in the Gregory & Loredo (1996) search.

(c)

For the fundamental peak, we show the significance that the observed Lomb-Scargle power is not due to white noise. The chance that the observed peak is due to noise was computed from the false-alarm probability (Baluev 2008).

(d)

Probability that the probed frequency interval contains a periodic signal (see Zavlin et al. 2000, for details).

(e)

Arbitrarily defined reference time in MJD (TDB) that aligns the NICER and XMM-Newton pulse profiles (Fig. 2). The reference time is chosen in such a way that phase-zero roughly coincides with the centre of the pulse.

(f)

Relative fraction between the minimum and maximum count rate in the pulse profile in Fig. 2, computed via p f = R max R min R max + R min $ p_{\mathrm{f}} = \frac{R_{\mathrm{max}}-R_{\mathrm{min}}}{R_{\mathrm{max}}+R_{\mathrm{min}}} $ in the 0.2 − 2 keV band.
