This has brought about a go lden era of X-ray astronomy\, including fundamental advancements in the st udy of black hole physics\, stellar explosions\, and some of the highest e nergy phenomena in the cosmos. In this webinar we will discuss the fundame ntals of X-ray astronomy\, how a small mission like NuSTAR works\, and hig hlight some of the key science results from NuSTAR’s first decade of opera tion.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Brian Grefenstette is a principal mission scientist on the NuSTAR mission and a research scientist at the California Institute of Technology. He grew up in the D.C. area before coming out We st to get his B.S. in Physics at Stanford University and his Ph.D. in Phys ics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He joined the NuSTAR mis sion as a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech in 2009 (three years before laun ch) and has been in Pasadena ever since. His science interests span almost 9 orders of magnitude in source intensity\, from studying radioactive ash from supernova explosions to studying X-ray flares from the Sun. He’s an avid disc golfer\, gamer\, dad\, and loves exploring the night sky with fr iends (even in Los Angeles).\n\nThe event will also be streaming live on Y ouTube\, but please note that questions asked over the NSN-members-only Zo om Q&A will be prioritized.
