Hard X-ray Properties of the Merging Cluster Abell 3667 as Observed with Suzaku

Kazuhiro Nakazawa, Craig L. Sarazin, Madoka Kawaharada +10

Wide-band Suzaku data on the merging cluster Abell 3667 were examined for hard X-ray emission in excess to the known thermal component. Suzaku detected X-ray signals in the wide en…
