NuSTAR Observations of the Black Hole GS 1354-645: Evidence of Rapid Black Hole Spin
A. M. El-Batal, J. M. Miller, M. T. Reynolds +10
We present the results of a NuSTAR study of the dynamically confirmed stellar-mass black hole GS 1354-645. The source was observed during its 2015 "hard" state outburst; we concent…
The nature of the torus in the heavily obscured AGN Markarian 3: an X-ray study
M. Guainazzi, G. Risaliti, H. Awaki +22
In this paper we report the results of an X-ray monitoring campaign on the heavily obscured Seyfert galaxy Markarian 3 carried out between the fall of 2014 and the spring of 2015 w…
An Ultraluminous X-ray Source Powered by An Accreting Neutron Star
M. Bachetti, F. A. Harrison, D. J. Walton +21
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are off-nuclear point sources in nearby galaxies whose X-ray luminosity exceeds the theoretical maximum for spherical infall (the Eddington limit)…
NuSTAR Reveals the Comptonizing Corona of the Broad-Line Radio Galaxy 3C 382
D. R. Ballantyne, J. M. Bollenbacher, L. W. Brenneman +14
Broad-line radio galaxies (BLRGs) are active galactic nuclei that produce powerful, large-scale radio jets, but appear as Seyfert 1 galaxies in their optical spectra. In the X-ray…
The Broad-band X-ray Spectrum of IC 4329A from a Joint NuSTAR/Suzaku Observation
Laura Brenneman, G. Madejski, F. Fuerst +16
We have obtained a deep, simultaneous observation of the bright, nearby Seyfert galaxy IC 4329A with Suzaku and NuSTAR. Through a detailed spectral analysis, we are able to robustl…
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR)
Fiona A. Harrison, Steven Boggs, Finn Christensen +30
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is a NASA Small Explorer mission that will carry the first focusing hard X-ray (5 -- 80 keV) telescope to orbit. NuSTAR will offe…
Detector and Telescope Development for ProtoEXIST and Fine Beam Measurements of Spectral Response of CZT Detectors
J. Hong, A. Copete, J. E. Grindlay +5
We outline our plan to develop ProtoEXIST, a balloon-borne prototype experiment for the Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) for the Black Hole Finder Probe. EXIST will…
Development of the Gaseous Antiparticle Spectrometer for Space-based Antimatter Detection
C. J. Hailey, W. W. Craig, F. A. Harrison +5
We report progress in developing a novel antimatter detection scheme. The gaseous antiparticle spectrometer (GAPS) identifies antimatter through the characteristic X-rays emitted b…
Proposed Next Generation GRB Mission: EXIST
J. Grindlay, N. Gehrels, F. Harrison +7
A next generation Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) mission to follow the upcoming Swift mission is described. The proposed Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope, EXIST, would yield the lim…
