NuSTAR Observations of Blazars and Radio Galaxies First Results and Plans for the Future

NuSTAR, or the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, is a hard X-ray - sensitive imaging satellite successfully launched by NASA on June 13, 2012. One of the main science goals of NuSTAR is to study relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei this includes both blazars and radio galaxies. NuSTAR has already observed several such AGN with prominent jets for calibration purposes these include the blazars 3C273, Mkn 421, and PKS 2155-304. We show preliminary data for those sources, and discuss the plans for NuSTAR observations of blazars and radio galaxies. The emphasis of the strategy is on multi-band monitoring, coordinated with soft X-ray - sensitive instruments as well as ground-based radio, infrared, optical, and TeV telescopes.
