NuSTAR Overview and Science Highlights

NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) launched in June 2012, opening a new window into the X-ray universe. As the first space telescope capable of taking focused high energy X-ray observations above 10 keV, NuSTAR is providing unprecedented data on energetic sources ranging from the Sun to supermassive black holes powering distant quasars. NuSTAR has an order of magnitude sharper imaging and two orders of magnitude greater sensitivity than previous facilities at these energies. Since 2015, the observatory has primarily been run as a guest observer facility, with programs competitively selected by time allocation committees. I will provide a brief overview of the NuSTAR satellite and discuss some of the scientific highlights from NuSTAR's first decade in orbit.
