The NuSTAR Survey of the COSMOS Field
Abstract
NuSTAR executed a medium-area survey of the 2deg2 COSMOS field, region with plenty of multiwavelength data available. This survey is matched in depth to the Chandra coverage in the field. In the ~120 observations performed by NuSTAR on COSMOS, 91 sources were detected over the redshift range 0.1 < z < 2.5 down to a flux limit of 5.9 x10-14 erg/s/cm2 in the 3-24 keV band. With this survey, we detected highly obscured AGN with column densities exceeding 1023 cm-2, including sources with Compton-thick (>1.5 x 1024 cm-2) obscuration.
