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…
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…
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…
Rapid Variability of Blazar 3C 279 during Flaring States in 2013-2014 with Joint Fermi-LAT, NuSTAR, Swift, and Ground-Based Multi-wavelength Observations
M. Hayashida, K. Nalewajko, G. M. Madejski +49
We report the results of a multi-band observing campaign on the famous blazar 3C 279 conducted during a phase of increased activity from 2013 December to 2014 April, including firs…
Locating the most energetic electrons in Cassiopeia A
Brian W. Grefenstette, Stephen P. Reynolds, Fiona A. Harrison +17
We present deep (2.4 Ms) observations of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant with {\it NuSTAR}, which operates in the 3--79 keV bandpass and is the first instrument capable of sp…
