Origin of the in-orbit instrumental background of the Hard X-ray Imager onboard Hitomi

Kouichi Hagino, Hirokazu Odaka, Goro Sato +43

Understanding and reducing the in-orbit instrumental backgrounds are essential to achieving high sensitivity in hard X-ray astronomical observations. The observational data of the…

Implications of the mild gas motion found with Hitomi in the core of the Perseus cluster

Liyi Gu, Kazuo Makishima, Ryoji Matsumoto +6

Based mainly on X-ray observations, studies are made on interactions between the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in clusters of galaxies and their member galaxies. Through (magneto)hydr…

Modeling of proton-induced radioactivation background in hard X-ray telescopes: Geant4-based simulation and its demonstration by Hitomi's measurement in a low Earth orbit

Hirokazu Odaka, Makoto Asai, Kouichi Hagino +47

Hard X-ray astronomical observatories in orbit suffer from a significant amount of background due to radioactivation induced by cosmic-ray protons and/or geomagnetically trapped pr…

The Quiescent Intracluster Medium in the Core of the Perseus Cluster

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +213

Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally-bound objects in the Universe and are still forming. They are thus important probes of cosmological parameters and a host…

Galaxy Infall by Interacting with its Environment: a Comprehensive Study of 340 Galaxy Clusters

Liyi Gu, Zhonglue Wen, Poshak Gandhi +7

To study systematically the evolution on the angular extents of the galaxy, ICM, and dark matter components in galaxy clusters, we compiled the optical and X-ray properties of a sa…

Suzaku observation of a high entropy cluster Abell 548W

Kazuhiro Nakazawa, Yuichi Kato, Liyi Gu +4

Abell 548W, one of the galaxy clusters located in the Abell 548 region, has about an order of magnitude lower X-ray luminosity compared to ordinal clusters in view of the well know…
