High-Energy X-rays from J174545.5-285829, the Cannonball: A Candidate Pulsar Wind Nebula Associated with Sgr A East

Melania Nynka, Charles J. Hailey, Kaya Mori +12

We report the unambiguous detection of non-thermal X-ray emission up to 30 keV from the Cannonball, a few-arcsecond long diffuse X-ray feature near the Galactic Center, using the N…

An Extremely Luminous and Variable Ultraluminous X-ray Source in the Outskirts of Circinus Observed with NuSTAR

D. J. Walton, F. Fuerst, F. A. Harrison +16

Following a serendipitous detection with the NuSTAR observatory, we present a multi-epoch spectral and temporal analysis of an extreme ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) located in t…

First Results from NuSTAR Observations of Mkn 421

M. Baloković, M. Ajello, R. D. Blandford +34

Mkn 421 is a nearby active galactic nucleus dominated at all wavelengths by a very broad non-thermal continuum thought to arise from a relativistic jet seen at a small angle to the…

The awakening of BL Lacertae: observations by Fermi, Swift, and the GASP-WEBT

C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, F. D'Ammando +4

Since the launch of the Fermi satellite, BL Lacertae has been moderately active at gamma-rays and optical frequencies until May 2011, when the source started a series of strong fla…

A Tight Connection between Gamma-Ray Outbursts and Parsec-Scale Jet Activity in the Quasar 3C 454.3

Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher, Paul S. Smith +42

We analyze the multifrequency behavior of the quasar 3C 454.3 during three prominent γ-ray outbursts: 2009 Autumn, 2010 Spring, and 2010 Autumn. The data reveal a repeating pattern…

The NuSTAR Extragalactic Survey: A First Sensitive Look at the High-Energy Cosmic X-ray Background Population

D. M. Alexander, D. Stern, A. Del Moro +31

We report on the first ten identifications of sources serendipitously detected by the NuSTAR to provide the first sensitive census of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) source popul…

Long-term monitoring of PKS 0537-441 with Fermi-LAT and multiwavelength observations

F. D'Ammando, E. Antolini, G. Tosti +21

We report on multiwavelength observations of the blazar PKS 0537-441 (z = 0.896) obtained from microwaves through gamma rays by SMA, REM, ATOM, Swift and Fermi during 2008 August-2…

Kepler Photometry of Four Radio-Loud AGN in 2010-2012

Ann E. Wehrle, Paul J. Wiita, Stephen C. Unwin +4

We have used Kepler photometry to characterize variability in four radio-loud active galactic nuclei (three quasars and one object tentatively identified as a Seyfert 1.5 galaxy) o…

Performing a stellar autopsy using the radio-bright remnant of SN 1996cr

C. Meunier, F. E. Bauer, V. V. Dwarkadas +6

We present archival radio observations of SN1996cr from ATCA and MOST, and model its radio lightcurves using X-ray constrained hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between…
