NuSTAR Bringing the High Energy Universe into Focus

NuSTAR detects after-flare caused by black hole crashing through the accretion disk of a more massive black hole.

Astronomers have used NASA’s NuSTAR to weigh nearly two dozen extremely magnetic dead stars and found that they are heavier than expected.

X-ray observations of a young massive star in a close orbit with the compact remnant of a collapsed star by NASA’s NuSTAR and ESA’S XMM-Newton satellites reveal properties of extreme stellar winds and improve our understanding of how stars evolve.
