The RoboPol optical polarization survey of gamma-ray - loud blazars
V. Pavlidou, E. Angelakis, I. Myserlis +23
We present first results from RoboPol, a novel-design optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete. The data, taken during the May - June 2013 commissioning o…
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 RoboPol Pipeline and Control System
O. G. King, D. Blinov, A. N. Ramaprakash +26
We describe the data reduction pipeline and control system for the RoboPol project. The RoboPol project is monitoring the optical -band magnitude and linear polarization of a la…
NuSTAR detection of the blazar B2 1023+25 at redshift 5.3
T. Sbarrato, G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini +19
B2 1023+25 is an extremely radio-loud quasar at z=5.3 which was first identified as a likely high-redshift blazar candidate in the SDSS+FIRST quasar catalog. Here we use the Nuclea…
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) Mission
Fiona A. Harrison, William W. Craig, Finn E. Christensen +77
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 13 June 2012, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR operates in the band from 3…
