Joint Swift/NuSTAR Program

Starting from Cycle 14, observing time on NuSTAR and on Swift is made available to guest investigators. NuSTAR permits the Swift GI Program to award up to 300 ks of NuSTAR observing time per year, and Swift permits the NuSTAR GI Program to award up to 300 ks of Swift observing time per year. The available time will be awarded on a competitive basis, and will be subject to approval by the NuSTAR and the Swift missions. The scientific programs supported under this joint program are restricted to those that are enhanced by the combination of NuSTAR observations with investigations using the multi-wavelength Swift observatory. All standard observing restrictions for both observatories will apply to joint proposals under this program. For additional details, please read the Memorandum of Understanding between the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission.
