NuSTAR observations and a refined position estimate of MAXI J1848-015
Abstract
We report the results of follow-up observations of the X-ray transient MAXI J1848-015 performed by NuSTAR. The source was first observed at a 4-10 keV flux of 63 mCrab by MAXI/GSC at 05:04 UTC on 2020 December 20 (ATel #14282), and NuSTAR follow-up was performed on December 23 between 02:50 and 07:20 UTC. Due to the proximity of the source to the Sun, pointing was unstable during the NuSTAR observation, producing multiple peaks in the resulting image.
