Ten years of High-Energy Universe in Focus: NuSTAR 2022

Location: Cagliari, Sardinia

Conference website: https://nustar.github.io/nustar2022/ 

Meeting Topic: The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is the first focusing hard X-ray (>10 keV) satellite in orbit, and is providing unprecedented data on energetic phenomena ranging from the solar system to distant quasars. Since 2015, the observatory has primarily been run as a guest observer facility, with programs competitively selected by time allocation committees. A significant fraction of NuSTAR observatory time is coordinated with other high-energy observatories. This conference will be an opportunity to explore the range of science that NuSTAR is conducting, with sessions focused on topics including Galactic binaries, extreme transients, ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), the census of obscured AGN in the local universe, black hole physics, and future high-energy facilities. Talks and posters on additional topics are also expected and encouraged.

We will update the website in the Spring with a link allowing payment of the registration fee. We request that people register for the conference now (e.g., submit abstracts), and we will directly contact accepted registrants with the payment link when it goes live.
