In-orbit Demonstration of X-ray Pulsar Navigation with NinjaSat
Naoyuki Ota, Takuya Takahashi, Toru Tamagawa +26
This study demonstrated the pulsar navigation capability of the CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat, which is equipped with two Gas Multiplier Counters (GMCs). The GMCs are sensitiv…
First Detection of X-ray Polarization and Its Short-term Increase Pre- and Post-Eclipse in HMXB 4U 1700-377
Kaito Ninoyu, Keisuke Uchiyama, Shinya Yamada +9
We report the first statistically significant detection of X-ray polarization from the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) 4U 1700-377, observed using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explo…
NinjaSat: Astronomical X-ray CubeSat Observatory
Toru Tamagawa, Teruaki Enoto, Takao Kitaguchi +22
NinjaSat is an X-ray CubeSat designed for agile, long-term continuous observations of bright X-ray sources, with the size of 6U ( mm) and a mass of 8 kg.…
NinjaSat monitoring of Type-I X-ray bursts from the clocked burster SRGA J144459.2604207
Tomoshi Takeda, Toru Tamagawa, Teruaki Enoto +25
The CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat was launched on 2023 November 11 and has provided opportunities for agile and flexible monitoring of bright X-ray sources. On 2024 February 2…
Gas selection for Xe-based LCP-GEM detectors onboard the CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat
T. Takeda, T. Tamagawa, T. Enoto +18
We present a gas selection for Xe-based gas electron multiplier (GEM) detectors, Gas Multiplier Counters (GMCs) onboard the CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat. To achieve an energy…
A strong X-ray polarization signal from the magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910
Silvia Zane, Roberto Taverna, Denis Gonzalez Caniulef +99
Magnetars are the most strongly magnetized neutron stars, and one of the most promising targets for X-ray polarimetric measurements. We present here the first Imaging X-ray Polarim…
Polarized x-rays from a magnetar
Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla, Fabio Muleri +93
We report on the first detection of linearly polarized x-ray emission from an ultra-magnetized neutron star with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The IXPE 35 observat…
Multiplexing lobster-eye optics: a concept for wide-field X-ray monitoring
Toru Tamagawa, Keisuke Uchiyama, Ryota Otsubo +13
We propose a concept of multiplexing lobster-eye (MuLE) optics to achieve significant reductions in the number of focal plane imagers in lobster-eye (LE) wide-field X-ray monitors.…
