NuSTAR Proposals and Tools
Additional opportunities to propose for NuSTAR time
Currently NuSTAR and Swift have an arrangement which makes
available joint observing time for both observatories. This resource
allows observers to combine the powers of both observatories to bear
on their scientific problems. This resource is extremely limited, so
proposers should be sure to describe how their proposed observations
exploit the unique capabilities of both observatories.
While joint Swfit and NuSTAR proposals within the NuSTAR Guest
Observer Program are now also possible, proposals for additional
observation time can go through the Swift proposal process.
- Swift Cycle 15. Is now closed. Approximately 300ks of joint Swfit and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the Swift
Cycle 15. The start of observations is in April 2019.
- Swift Cycle 14. Is now closed. Approximately 300ks of joint Swfit and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the Swift
Cycle 14. The start of observations is in April 2018.
Currently NuSTAR and XMM-Newton have an arrangement which makes
available joint observing time for both observatories. This resource
allows observers to combine the powers of both observatories to bear
on their scientific problems. This resource is extremely limited, so
proposers should be sure to describe how their proposed observations
exploit the unique capabilities of both observatories.
While joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR proposals within the NuSTAR Guest
Observer Program are now also possible, proposals for additional
observation time can go through the XMM proposal process.
- XMM Cycle 18. Is now Closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the XMM-Newton
Cycle 18 AO. The start of observations is in May 2019.
- XMM Cycle 17. Is now closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the XMM-Newton
Cycle 17 AO. The start of observations is in May 2018.
- XMM Cycle 16. Is now closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the XMM-Newton
Cycle 16 AO. The start of observations is in May 2017.
- XMM Cycle 15. Is now closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the XMM-Newton
Cycle 15 AO. The start of observations is in May 2016. Results can be found on the XMM-Newton OTAC Results page.
- XMM Cycle 14. Is now closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available through the XMM-Newton
Cycle 14 AO. The start of observations is in May 2015.
- XMM Cycle 13. Is now closed. Approximately 1.5 Ms of joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observation time was made available in the XMM-Newton Cycle
13 AO which was released on 27 August 2013. 62 such proposals were
in fact submitted. Results can be found on the XMM-Newton OTAC Results page.
Currently NuSTAR and Chandra also have an arrangement which makes
available joint observing time for both observatories. An opportunity
to propose for NuSTAR observing time as part of this joint observing
program is being made available through the
Chandra calls for proposals.
- Chandra Cycle 20. Is now closed. Up to 1 Ms of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the Chandra proposal
process, which is closed on 15 March 2018.
- Chandra Cycle 19. Is now closed. Up to 1 Ms of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the Chandra proposal
process, which is closed on March 2017.
- Chandra Cycle 18. Is now closed. Up to 500 ksec of NuSTAR observing
time was made available through the Chandra proposal
process, which closed on March 15, 2016.
- Chandra Cycle 17. Is now closed. Up to 500 ksec of NuSTAR observing
time was made available through the Chandra proposal
process, which closed on March 17, 2015.
- Chandra Cycle 16. Is now closed. Up to 500 ksec of NuSTAR
observing time were made available through the Chandra proposal
process, which closed on March 13, 2014. Results of the review can
be found here.
Currently NuSTAR and INTEGRAL also have an arrangement which makes
available joint observing time for both observatories. An opportunity
to propose for NuSTAR observing time as part of this joint observing
program is being made available through the
INTEGRAL calls for proposals.
- INTEGRAL Cycle 16. Is now closed.
Up to 100 ks of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the INTEGRAL proposal
process.
- INTEGRAL Cycle 15.Is now closed. Up to 100 ks of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the INTEGRAL proposal
process, which is closed on March 2017.
- INTEGRAL Cycle 14. Is now closed. Up to 100 ks of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the INTEGRAL proposal
process, which is closed on April 2016.
Currently NuSTAR and NICER also have an arrangement which makes
available joint observing time for both observatories. While joint NICER and NuSTAR proposals within the NuSTAR Guest Observer Program are now also possible, an opportunity
to propose for NuSTAR observing time as part of this joint observing
program is being made available through the
NICER proposal process.
- NICER Cycle 1: The due date is Thursday, December 20, 2018, at 16:30 EST.
Up to 400 ks of NuSTAR observing
time is made available through the NICER proposal
process.
