Hard X-Ray Observations of the Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernova SN 2018hti with NuSTAR

Some Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae are likely powered by a magnetar central engine, making their luminosity larger than common supernovae. Although a significant amount of X-ray flux is expected from the spin down of the magnetar, direct observational evidence is still to be found, giving rise to the "missing energy" problem. …
