10/4/17 The NuSTAR Obscured Seyferts Survey will complete a volume-limited survey of black holes in heavily obscured environments, wherein black holes may grow especially quickly. This will enable more accurate estimates of obscured accretion power and black hole growth over large cosmological volumes.
