NuSTAR Cycle 8 Results



Recommended Targets sorted by proposal number, click here to sort by RA.

Definition of Columns
  1. Prop: Proposal number assigned by the NuSTAR mission.
  2. Target: Target name as listed on proposal forms, in some cases modified for clarity.
  3. PI: Principal Investigator's name.
  4. RA: Right Ascension (equinox J2000) in degrees.
  5. Dec: Declination (equinox J2000) in degrees.
  6. Time: Total observing time approved, in ksec.
  7. Category: L indicates a large program. Categories A, B, or C were assigned during the Cycle 8 peer review to regular programs (non-L). ToO targets are indicated as T and are also category A for regular programs. No additional time is granted for targets labeled with "t". Both category A and B targets are guaranteed to be observed. The NuSTAR project expects to be able to observe approximately 50% of Category C targets.
  8. XMM: Approved XMM exposure time through NuSTAR review.
  9. Swift: Approved Swift exposure time through NuSTAR review.
  10. NICER: Approved NICER exposure time through NuSTAR review.
  11. Multi-year: Multi-year program, which will be scheduled over a two-cycle period. It is anticipated that Cycle 9 will commence on June 1, 2023 and have a duration of one year.
NOTE - If previously approved but to date unobserved programs are executed by the start of Cycle 8 (e.g., Cycle 7 ToO or Category C observations), observations of corresponding Cycle 8 targets will be reassessed.
