DEEP NUSTAR OBSERVATIONS OF THE JWST-NEP TIME DOMAIN FIELD: LONG TERM MONITORING

The JWST Deep TimeDomain Field in the North Ecliptic Pole is a GTO target thatwill have continuous visibility and 8band deep imaging and grism spectra in theNIR by JWST. In the past few years, the NEP DTDF has grown into a comprehensivesurvey with deep radio to Xray data, becoming the most promising new field forextragalactic studies and timedomain investigations. Given interesting resultsfrom Cycle 5 NuSTAR program, we request 780 ks for long term monitoring of theNEP DTDF, split into 4 epochs (spaced before and after JWST launch over 2 NuSTARcycles), enabling studies of hard Xray variability, 0.324 keV spectroscopythrough simultaneous XMM observations, the faint end of the AGN luminosityfunction at >8 keV, the obscured AGN fraction, and a bright NLSy1 at z> 1. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
