10 Years of NuSTAR

The chilly weather across much of the Northern Hemisphere has us pining to be back on the warm sands of Poetto in June. Help remember what it was like in such a lovely place and time by watching the recently uploaded talks from #NuSTARX on YouTube. @nustar2022meeting/videos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@nustar2022mee…

@Xtian_Malacaria It looks like you got this sorted out, but if anyone else is having issues email /DM @Thomas_Connor

@10YearsOfNuSTAR How do you select a specific community on Zenodo once you upload the poster? I can see the #NustarX community icon but it is not linked to my poster.

Remember, the conference may be over, but the posters will live forever! Check out the posters, both those posted virtually and in-person, at zenodo.org/communities/nu… #NuSTARX

Finally -- thank you to everyone who attended #NuSTARX. The future of @NuSTAR_Science is bright, and the past ten years have been full of exciting science. From the students giving their first talks to the folks who've been with NuSTAR since the start, you make NuSTAR a success!

For many of us, this was one of our first forays back into in-person conferences after a long, dark pandemic. It was wonderful to see everyone, whether old friends or new collaborators. And for our virtual attendees, we hope we will get to see you soon, too! #NuSTARX

It's a warm one in Cagliari, and the beach sure is looking tempting! Luckily, we got a chance to dip our toes in the sea at the conference dinner. #NuSTARX

It's Coffee Break time! Wait, the conference is over? Alas! Here are a few photos of the room where the seeds of the work we'll be learning about at the next NuSTAR conference were planted. #NuSTARX

It's weird to not be live tweeting talks at 9 AM! Instead, today we'll share some photos from #NuSTARX. The Teatro Doglio was an excellent venue, and it was nice to see it filled with exciting science.

@poshakgandhi It's a JPL led mission now, so Dare Mighty Things applies!

@10YearsOfNuSTAR Loving the proposed pc-scale satellite design spec 😁

Finally, it's Daniel Stern on black hole growth over cosmic time -- with a brief thanks to everyone at the meeting for making NuSTAR such a success. #NuSTARX #HEXP

And with that, #NuSTARX comes to a close. Safe travels, everyone! Until we meet again! (Speaking of which, locations for #NuStarXII are now being solicited).

Finally, a request to get involved! Again, come by HEXP.org or email Daniel or Kristin. #HEXP #NuSTARX #NewGreatObservatories

He also wants to know about super obscured sources. Non detections should become characterizations. And in mergers, you need hard X-rays; the huge gain in angular resolution from NuSTAR makes this feasible. Plus, all kinds of other bonus science to be done!

And his final thoughts.

So what can we get with HEX-P? Characterizing low luminosity XRBs. Understanding the nature of ULX accretors. Monitoring state transitions. Pushing the distance frontiers. Compare NuSTAR view to HEX-P view.

Bret Lehmer is here to discuss the more Galactic science cases. M31 was s single source in hard X-rays before NuSTAR; imagine what resolving other galaxies can tell us! #HEXP #NuSTARX
