Journal Article
Annuar, A., Gandhi, P., Alexander, D., Lansbury, G., Arevalo, P., Ballantyne, D., …Zhang, W. (2015). NuSTAR Observations of the Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus and Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Candidate in NGC 5643. Astrophysical Journal, 815(1), Article 36. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/815/1/36

We present two Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the local Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) and an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) candidate in NGC 5643. Together with archival data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, and S... Read More about NuSTAR Observations of the Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus and Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Candidate in NGC 5643.

NuSTAR Reveals Extreme Absorption in z < 0.5 Type 2 Quasars (2015)
Journal Article
Lansbury, G., Gandhi, P., Alexander, D., Assef, R., Aird, J., Annuar, A., …Zhang, W. (2015). NuSTAR Reveals Extreme Absorption in z < 0.5 Type 2 Quasars. Astrophysical Journal, 809(2), Article 115. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/809/2/115

The intrinsic column density (NH) distribution of quasars is poorly known. At the high obscuration end of the quasar population and for redshifts z<1, the X-ray spectra can only be reliably characterized using broad-band measurements which extend to...
