NuSTAR on-ground calibration II: Effective area
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) was launched in June 2012 carrying the first focusing hard X-ray (5−80keV) optics to orbit. The multilayer coating was carried out at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space). In this article we introduce the NuSTAR multilayer reference database and its implementation in the NuSTAR optic response model.
The database and its implementation is validated using on-ground effective area calibration data and used to estimate in-orbit performance.
