30 Jan 2013 | | Abstract: | The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 13
June 2012, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR
operates in the band from 3 -- 79 keV, extending the sensitivity of focusing
far beyond the ~10 keV high-energy cutoff achieved by all previous X-ray
satellites. The inherently low-background associated with concentrating the
X-ray light enables NuSTAR to probe the hard X-ray sky with a more than
one-hundred-fold improvement in sensitivity over the collimated or coded-mask
instruments that have operated in this bandpass. Using its unprecedented
combination of sensitivity, spatial and spectral resolution, NuSTAR will pursue
five primary scientific objectives, and will also undertake a broad program of
targeted observations. The observatory consists of two co-aligned
grazing-incidence X-ray telescopes pointed at celestial targets by a three-axis
stabilized spacecraft. Deployed into a 600 km, near-circular, 6degree
inclination orbit, the Observatory has now completed commissioning, and is
performing consistent with pre-launch expectations. NuSTAR is now executing its
primary science mission, and with an expected orbit lifetime of ten years, we
anticipate proposing a guest investigator program, to begin in Fall 2014. | | Source: | arXiv, 1301.7307 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
