1 Papers are listed here if they have already been accepted for publication in a journal as of December 14, 2016; those in preparation or in review are not listed. Shortened journal names are as follows: ApJ = The Astrophysical Journal, AJ = The Astronomical Journal, MNRAS = Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, A&A = Astronomy and Astrophysics, ATel = The Astronomer's Telegram. Note on authorship policies: NuSTAR and RoboPol collaborations list the people who have directly contributed to a particular paper as first several authors ordered by their relative contributions. This is followed by an alphabetical list of coauthors who contributed to the project leading to the paper in various ways, but whose direct contribution to that particular paper are minor. For collaboration papers listed below, "et al." generally marks the start of the alphabetical list. Peer-Reviewed First-Author Papers (4): 1.
