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…
Hitomi X-ray Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula G21.50.9
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +194
We present results from the Hitomi X-ray observation of a young composite-type supernova remnant (SNR) G21.50.9, whose emission is dominated by the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) cont…
Temperature Structure in the Perseus Cluster Core Observed with Hitomi
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192
The present paper investigates the temperature structure of the X-ray emitting plasma in the core of the Perseus cluster using the 1.8--20.0 keV data obtained with the Soft X-ray S…
Atomic data and spectral modeling constraints from high-resolution X-ray observations of the Perseus cluster with Hitomi
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192
The Hitomi SXS spectrum of the Perseus cluster, with 5 eV resolution in the 2-9 keV band, offers an unprecedented benchmark of the atomic modeling and database for hot collis…
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…
Glimpse of the highly obscured HMXB IGR J16318-4848 with Hitomi
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We report a Hitomi observation of IGR J16318-4848, a high-mass X-ray binary system with an extremely strong absorption of N_H~10^{24} cm^{-2}. Previous X-ray studies revealed that…
Hitomi Observation of Radio Galaxy NGC 1275: The First X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy of Fe-Kα Line Emission from an Active Galactic Nucleus
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
The origin of the narrow Fe-Kα fluorescence line at 6.4 keV from active galactic nuclei has long been under debate; some of the possible sites are the outer accretion disk, the bro…
Atmospheric gas dynamics in the Perseus cluster observed with Hitomi
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +195
Extending the earlier measurements reported in Hitomi collaboration (2016, Nature, 535, 117), we examine the atmospheric gas motions within the central 100~kpc of the Perseus clust…
Hitomi X-ray studies of Giant Radio Pulses from the Crab pulsar
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +201
To search for giant X-ray pulses correlated with the giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar, we performed a simultaneous observation of the Crab pulsar with the X-ray satel…
Hitomi constraints on the 3.5 keV line in the Perseus galaxy cluster
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix A. Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +215
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E=3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of va…
Peculiar Lapse of Periodic Eclipsing Event at Low Mass X-ray Binary GRS 1747312 during Suzaku Observation in 2009
Shigetaka Saji, Hideyuki Mori, Hironori Matsumoto +6
GRS 1747312 is a neutron star Low-Mass X-ray Binary in the globular cluster Terzan 6, located at a distance of 9.5 kpc from the Earth. During its outbursts, periodic eclipses we…
