NuSTAR measurement of the cosmic X-ray background in the 3-20 keV energy band

Roman Krivonos, Daniel Wik, Brian Grefenstette +5

We present measurements of the intensity of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) with the NuSTAR telescope in the 3-20 keV energy range. Our method uses spatial modulation of the CXB…

NuSTAR low energy effective area correction due to thermal blanket tear

Kristin K. Madsen, Brian W. Grefenstette, Sean Pike +4

A rip in the MLI at the exit aperture of OMA, the NuSTAR optic aligned with detector focal plane module FPMA, has resulted in an increased photon flux through OMA that has manifest…

NuSTAR observations of G11.2-0.3

K. K. Madsen, C. L. Fryer, B. W. Grefenstette +3

We present in this paper the hard X-ray view of the pulsar wind nebula in G11.2-0.3 and its central pulsar PSR J1811-1925 as seen by NuSTAR. We complement the data with Chandra for…
