The following targets have been selected in the NuSTAR General Observer (GO) programs for observations coordinated with XRISM during the performance verification (PV) phase. XRISM was successfully launched on August 26, 2023 (see launch announcement) and the PV-phase is expected to be performed in the first half of 2024. 

In addition, NuSTAR will be performing observations of targets coordinated with the XRISM calibration plan (see below).
