A hard X-ray view of the distant active galactic nucleus population with NuSTAR
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs), the sites of mass accretion onto supermassive black holes, have been hosted by most galaxies at some point in their lifetime. X-rays are a direct and efficient means of identifying AGNs and measuring their intrinsic properties reliably. A recent breakthrough in this re...
