Non-thermal X-rays from Colliding Wind Shock Acceleration in the Massive Binary Eta Carinae
Kenji Hamaguchi, Michael F. Corcoran, Julian M. Pittard +9
Cosmic-ray acceleration has been a long-standing mystery and despite more than a century of study, we still do not have a complete census of acceleration mechanisms. The collision…
First NuSTAR Limits on Quiet Sun Hard X-Ray Transient Events
Andrew J. Marsh, David M. Smith, Lindsay Glesener +16
We present the first results of a search for transient hard X-ray (HXR) emission in the quiet solar corona with the \textit{Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array} (\textit{NuSTAR})…
Observational Artifacts of NuSTAR: Ghost Rays and Stray Light
Kristin K. Madsen, Finn E. Christensen, William W. Craig +5
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), launched in June 2012, flies two conical approximation Wolter-I mirrors at the end of a 10.15m mast. The optics are coated with…
Reflection Spectra of the Black Hole Binary Candidate MAXI J1535-571 in the Hard State Observed by NuSTAR
Yanjun Xu, Fiona A. Harrison, Javier A. Garcia +9
We report on a NuSTAR observation of the recently discovered bright black hole candidate MAXI J1535-571. NuSTAR observed the source on MJD 58003 (five days after the outburst was r…
Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova
P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56
With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…
NuSTAR hard X-ray observation of a sub-A class solar flare
Lindsay Glesener, Sa"m Krucker, Iain G. Hannah +5
We report a NuSTAR observation of a solar microflare, SOL2015-09-01T04. Although it was too faint to be observed by the GOES X-ray Sensor, we estimate the event to be an A0.1 class…
