The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: The 40 month Catalog and the Properties of the Distant High Energy X-ray Source Population

G. B. Lansbury, D. Stern, J. Aird +35

We present the first full catalog and science results for the NuSTAR serendipitous survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which…

Broadband X-ray spectral analysis of the Seyfert 1 galaxy GRS 1734-292

A. Tortosa, A. Marinucci, G. Matt +14

We discuss the broadband X-ray spectrum of GRS 1734-292 obtained from non-simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations, performed in 2009 and 2014, respectively. GRS1734-292 is…

The nature of the torus in the heavily obscured AGN Markarian 3: an X-ray study

M. Guainazzi, G. Risaliti, H. Awaki +22

In this paper we report the results of an X-ray monitoring campaign on the heavily obscured Seyfert galaxy Markarian 3 carried out between the fall of 2014 and the spring of 2015 w…

The weak neutral Fe fluorescence line and long-term X-ray evolution of the Compton-thick AGN in NGC 7674

P. Gandhi, A. Annuar, G. B. Lansbury +26

We present X-ray observations of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 7674. The source shows a flat X-ray spectrum, suggesting that it is obscured by Compton-thick gas…

A New Population of Compton-Thick AGN Identified Using the Spectral Curvature Above 10 keV

Michael J. Koss, R. Assef, M. Balokovic +18

We present a new metric that uses the spectral curvature (SC) above 10 keV to identify Compton-thick AGN in low-quality Swift BAT X-ray data. Using NuSTAR, we observe nine high SC-…

Compton-thick Accretion in the local Universe

C. Ricci, Y. Ueda, M. J. Koss +3

Heavily obscured accretion is believed to represent an important stage in the growth of supermassive black holes, and to play an important role in shaping the observed spectrum of…

Peering through the Dust: NuSTAR Observations of Two FIRST-2MASS Red Quasars

Stephanie M. LaMassa, Angelo Ricarte, Eilat Glikman +17

Some reddened quasars appear to be transitional objects in the merger-induced black hole growth/galaxy evolution paradigm, where a heavily obscured nucleus starts to be unveiled by…

NuSTAR observations of water megamaser AGN

A. Masini, A. Comastri, M. Baloković +18

Aims. Study the connection between the masing disk and obscuring torus in Seyfert 2 galaxies. Methods. We present a uniform X-ray spectral analysis of the high energy properties of…
