Hunting for High-mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galactic Center with NuSTAR

The central 2 × 0.8 deg ^2 region of our Galaxy contains ∼10,000 X-ray point sources that were detected by a series of Chandra observations over the last two decades. However, the limited bandpass of Chandra below 8 keV hampered their spectroscopic classification. In 2016, the initial NuSTAR Galacti...
