A New Sample of Obscured AGNs Selected from the XMM-Newton and AKARI Surveys
Yuichi Terashima, Yoshitaka Hirata, Hisamitsu Awaki +4
We report a new sample of obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from the XMM serendipitous source and AKARI point-source catalogs. We match X-ray sources with infrared (1…
Hitomi Observations of the LMC SNR N132D: Highly Redshifted X-ray Emission from Iron Ejecta
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present Hitomi observations of N132D, a young, X-ray bright, O-rich core-collapse supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Despite a very short observation of only…
Wide-band spectroscopy of the Compton thick Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 3 with Suzaku
Hisamitsu Awaki, Naohisa Anabuki, Yasuchi Fukazawa +15
We obtained a wide-band spectrum of the Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 3 with Suzaku. The observed spectrum was clearly resolved into weak, soft power-law emission, a heavily a…
Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrom…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
XRISM Reveals a Remnant Torus in the Low-Luminosity AGN M81*
Jon M. Miller, Ehud Behar, Hisamitsu Awaki +10
Up to 40% of galaxies in the local universe host a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN), making it vital to understand this mode of black hole accretion. However, the pre…
