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})…
Spectral and Timing Properties of IGR J17091-3624 in the Rising Hard State During its 2016 Outburst
Yanjun Xu, Javier A. Garcia, Felix Fuerst +8
We present a spectral and timing study of the NuSTAR and Swift observations of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 in the hard state during its outburst in 2016. Disk reflecti…
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…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
