Title

From Extremes of Black Hole Accretion to Exploding Stars: The Universe Through High Energy X-ray Eyes
Coauthors

Abstract

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has opened the high energy sky to sensitive study. In compact objects, insights gained by NuSTAR range from measurements of black hole spin, probing the innermost regions in active galaxies to discovering the most extreme accreting neutron stars. NuSTAR has also made fundamental measurements that constrain the mechanisms that explode massive stars. This talk will highlight the most fundamental advances and discoveries related to extremes of accretion and stellar collapse from the NuSTAR mission to-date.
