Cross Calibration of Galaxy Cluster Temperatures Measured with NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, and Chandra
Fiona Lopez, Daniel R. Wik, Cicely Potter +10
The use of galaxy clusters to constrain cosmology is limited in part due to uncertainties in derived cluster masses, which often depend on the gas temperature. Unfortunately, there…
Measuring the Cosmic X-ray Background in 3-20keV with Straylight from NuSTAR
Steven Rossland, Daniel Wik, Brian Grefenstette +13
By characterizing the contribution of stray light to large datasets from the NuSTAR X-ray observatory collected over 2012--2017, we report a measurement of the cosmic X-ray backgro…
NuSTAR spectral analysis beyond 79 keV with stray light
G. Mastroserio, B. W. Grefenstette, P. Thalhammer +10
Due to the structure of the NuSTAR telescope, photons at large off-axis (> 1deg) can reach the detectors directly (stray light), without passing through the instrument optics. At t…
AT2019wxt: An ultra-stripped supernova candidate discovered in electromagnetic follow-up of a gravitational wave trigger
Hinna Shivkumar, Amruta D. Jaodand, Arvind Balasubramanian +13
We present optical, radio and X-ray observations of a rapidly-evolving transient AT2019wxt (PS19hgw), discovered during the search for an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to the gr…
StrayCats II: An Updated Catalog of NuSTAR Stray Light Observations
R. M. Ludlam, B. W. Grefenstette, M. C. Brumback +8
We present an updated catalog of StrayCats (a catalog of NuSTAR stray light observations of X-ray sources) that includes nearly 18 additional months of observations. StrayCats v2 h…
Extending the baseline for SMC X-1's spin and orbital behavior with NuSTAR stray light
McKinley C. Brumback, B. W. Grefenstette, D. J. K. Buisson +10
StrayCats, the catalog of NuSTAR stray light observations, contains data from bright X-ray sources that fall within crowded source regions. These observations offer unique addition…
