New prediction of extragalactic GeV gamma-ray emission from radio lobes of young AGN jets

M. Kino, H. Ito, N. Kawakatu +1

We present a new prediction of GeV -ray emission from radio lobes of young AGN jets. In the previous work of Kino et al. (2007), MeV -ray bremsstrahlung emission was predicte…

Quasi-Hilda Comet 147P/Kushida-Muramatsu: Another long temporary satellite capture by Jupiter

Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Takashi Ito, Makoto Yoshikawa +2

The quasi-Hilda comets (QHCs), being in unstable 3:2 Jovian mean motion resonance, are considered a major cause of temporary satellite capture (TSC) by Jupiter. Though the QHCs may…

Magnetic Landscape of Sun's Polar Region

S. Tsuneta, K. Ichimoto, Y. Katsukawa +11

We present the magnetic landscape of the polar region of the Sun that is unprecedented in terms of high spatial resolution, large field of view, and polarimetric precision. These o…

Funnel-flow accretion onto highly magnetized neutron stars and shock generation

Shigeyuki Karino, Motoki Kino, John C. Miller

In this paper, we initiate a new study of steady funnel-flow accretion onto strongly magnetized neutron stars, including a full treatment of shock generation. As a first step, we a…

Status of GRB Observations with the Suzaku Wideband All-sky Monitor

M. S. Tashiro, Y. Terada, Y. Urata +28

The Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) is a function of the large lateral BGO shield of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) onboard Suzaku. Its large geometrical area of 800 cm^2 per side,…

On invisible plasma content in radio-loud AGNs: The case of TeV blazar Markarian 421

M. Kino, F. Takahara

Invisible plasma content in blazar jets such as protons and/or thermal electron-positron () pairs is explored through combined arguments of dynamical and radiative process…

Large Kinetic Power in FRII Radio Jets

H. Ito, M. Kino, N. Kawakatu +2

We investigate the total kinetic powers (L_{j}) and ages (t_{age}) of powerful jets of four FR II radio sources (Cygnus A, 3C 223, 3C 284, and 3C 219) by the detail comparison of t…

Periodicities in X-ray Binaries from Swift/BAT Observations

R. Corbet, C. Markwardt, L. Barbier +8

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift has accumulated extensive light curves for 265 sources (not including GRBs) in the energy range 14 to 200 keV. We present here a summ…

X-ray Spectral Properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts

T. E. Strohmayer, E. E. Fenimore, T. Murakami +1

We summarize the spectral characteristics of a sample of 22 bright gamma-ray bursts detected with the gamma-ray burst sensors aboard the satellite Ginga. This instrument employed a…
