The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) Observatory Performance
Abstract
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array will be the first highly-sensitive, focusing telescope to image the hard X-ray (6 - 80 keV) sky. NuSTAR's unprecedented combination of sensitivity, angular and spectral resolution allow it to carry out a compelling scientific program in its two year baseline mission, which will begin in August, 2011. This talk will provide an overview of the NuSTAR observatory, concentrating on the performance characteristics.
