ASTRO-H White Paper - Low-mass X-ray Binaries

C. Done, M. Tsujimoto, E. Cackett +20

There is still 10-20% uncertainty on the neutron star (NS) mass-radius relation. These uncertainties could be reduced by an order of magnitude through an unambiguous measure of M/R…

ASTRO-H White Paper - White Dwarf

K. Mukai, T. Yuasa, A. Harayama +5

Interacting binaries in which a white dwarf accretes material from a companion --- cataclysmic variables (CVs) in which the mass loss is via Roche-lobe overflow, and symbiotic star…

Suzaku Observation of HESS J1507-622

H. Matsumoto, Y. Terada, A. Bamba +3

HESS J1507-622 is one of the bright unidentified TeV objects. HESS J1507-622 is unique, since the location of the object is off the Galactic disk. We observed the HESS J1507-622 re…
