The NuSTAR Extragalactic Surveys: Overview and Catalog from the COSMOS Field

F. Civano, R. C. Hickox, S. Puccetti +28

To provide the census of the sources contributing to the X-ray background peak above 10 keV, NuSTAR is performing extragalactic surveys using a three-tier "wedding cake" approach.…

The NuSTAR Extragalactic Surveys: First Direct Measurements of the >10 keV X-Ray Luminosity Function for Active Galactic Nuclei at z>0.1

J. Aird, D. M. Alexander, D. R. Ballantyne +34

We present the first direct measurements of the rest-frame 10-40 keV X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) based on a sample of 94 sources at 0.1 < z <3,…

NuSTAR catches the unveiling nucleus of NGC 1068

A. Marinucci, S. Bianchi, G. Matt +15

We present a NuSTAR and XMM-Newton monitoring campaign in 2014/2015 of the Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 1068. During the August 2014 observation, we detect with NuSTAR a flu…

The NuSTAR view of reflection and absorption in NGC 7582

E. Rivers, M. Baloković, P. Arévalo +14

NGC 7582 is a well-studied X-ray bright Seyfert 2 with moderately heavy (~cm), highly variable absorption and strong reflection spectral fea…

The NuSTAR Extragalactic Surveys: The Number Counts of Active Galactic Nuclei and the Resolved Fraction of the Cosmic X-ray Background

F. A. Harrison, J. Aird, F. Civano +41

We present the 3-8 keV and 8-24 keV number counts of active galactic nuclei (AGN) identified in the NuSTAR extragalactic surveys. NuSTAR has now resolved 33-39% of the X-ray backgr…

The hard X-ray emission of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240 as observed by NuSTAR

S. Puccetti, A. Comastri, F. E. Bauer +23

We present a broad-band (~0.3-70 keV) spectral and temporal analysis of NuSTAR observations of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240, combined with archival Chandra, XMM-Newton and…

NuSTAR Observations of the Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus and Ultraluminous X-ray Source Candidate in NGC 5643

A. Annuar, P. Gandhi, D. M. Alexander +22

We present two NuSTAR observations of the local Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) and an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) candidate in NGC 5643. Together with archival data f…

NuSTAR and Suzaku observations of the hard state in Cygnus X-1: locating the inner accretion disk

M. L. Parker, J. A. Tomsick, J. M. Miller +20

We present simultaneous Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR ) and Suzaku observations of the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 in the hard state. This is the first time this state…

Broadband Observations of the Compton-thick Nucleus of NGC 3393

Michael J. Koss, C. Romero-Canizales, L. Baronchelli +16

We present new NuSTAR and Chandra observations of NGC 3393, a galaxy reported to host the smallest separation dual AGN resolved in the X-rays. While past results suggested a 150 pc…

Determining the covering factor of Compton-thick active galactic nuclei with NuSTAR

M. Brightman, M. Balokovic, D. Stern +19

The covering factor of Compton-thick obscuring material associated with the torus in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is at present best understood through the fraction of sources exhi…
