The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) High-Energy X-ray Mission: Bringing the High Energy Universe into Focus

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) High-Energy X-ray Mission: Bringing the High Energy Universe into Focus

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

School of Physics Colloquium Series: Dr. Fiona Harrison, Caltech

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, the first focusing high-energy X-ray  (3 – 79 keV) telescope in orbit, extends sensitive X-ray observations above the band pass where Chandra and XMM-Newton operate.   With an unprecedented combination of sensitivity, spectral and imaging resolution above 10 keV, NuSTAR is advancing our understanding of black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.  I will describe the mission, and present science highlights from the two-year baseline mission.
