Studying the Variable Continuum and Emission Line Spectrum of 4U 1700-377 using NuSTAR's Stray Light
Colin J Bourque, McKinley C Brumback, Brian W Grefenstette +4
The high-mass X-ray binary 4U 1700-377 shows strong variation in brightness on timescales of hundreds of seconds due to accretion from a highly clumped stellar wind from the compan…
A Statistical Survey of Faint Solar X-ray Transients Observed by NuSTAR
Reed B. Masek, Lindsay Glesener, Jessie Duncan +14
In this paper, we use a highly sensitive telescope to characterize solar X-ray transients ranging from microflares in active regions down to weakly energetic brightenings in the qu…

NuSTAR's Intentional Stray Light Observation of Scorpious X-1
S. Li, R. M. Ludlam, M. Sudha +8
We present the first spectral analysis of Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) using intentional stray light (SL) observations taken by NuSTAR. Unlike focused observations that have high telemet…
Fast X-ray transients in NuSTAR data
Murray Brightman, Joahan Castañeda Jaimes, Daniel Stern +1
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are flashes of X-rays that last for a few hundreds of seconds to a few hours. An enigmatic population of these transients that did not have a clear ori…
Quiet Sun impulsive events observed with NuSTAR during solar minimum
Sarah Paterson, Iain G. Hannah, Brian W. Grefenstette +6
The investigation of small-scale energy release in the Sun's atmosphere is important in understanding how the corona is heated. Previous work has been able to study small EUV and S…
