NICER and Fermi GBM Observations of the First Galactic Ultraluminous X-Ray Pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124

Swift J0243.6+6124 is a newly discovered Galactic Be/X-ray binary, revealed in late 2017 September in a giant outburst with a peak luminosity of 2 × 10[superscript 39](d/7 kpc)[superscript 2] erg s[superscript -1] (0.1-10 keV), with no formerly reported activity. At this luminosity, Swift J0243.6+61...
