We deduce that the C*-algebras of topological higher-rank graphs are nuclear and prove versions of the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem. We then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for simplicity of a topological higher-rank graph C*-algebra, and a condition under which it is also purely infinite. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.0829v3
