TL;DR: The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is the first focusing hard X-ray mission in orbit and operates in the 3-79 keV range as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Next generation hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray optic design and implementation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss necessary improvements and further studies relevant to the design and eventual implementation of an accurately modeled multilayer coated X-ray optic operating in the hard Xray/soft gamma-ray regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chandra observations of the pulsar wind nebula in SNR G0.9+0.1
TL;DR: In this article, the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) was observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and it was shown that the nebular morphology can be explained in terms of a torus of emission in pulsar's equatorial plane and a jet directed along the pulsars spin axis, as is seen in the Xray nebulae powered by other young pulsars.
