The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
ASTRO-H White Paper - Shock and Acceleration
F. Aharonian, Y. Uchiyama, D. Khangulyan +4
We discuss the prospects for a progress to be brought by ASTRO-H in the understanding of the physics of particle acceleration in astrophysical environments. Particular emphasis wil…
ASTRO-H White Paper - Young Supernova Remnants
J. P. Hughes, S. Safi-Harb, A. Bamba +23
Thanks to the unprecedented spectral resolution and sensitivity of the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) to soft thermal X-ray emission, ASTRO-H will open a new discovery window for un…
ASTRO-H White Paper - Older Supernova Remnants and Pulsar Wind Nebulae
K. S. Long, A. Bamba, F. Aharonian +20
Most supernova remnants (SNRs) are old, in the sense that their structure has been profoundly modified by their interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). Old SNRs…
Possible Evidence for Free Precession of a Strongly Magnetized Neutron Star in the Magnetar 4U 0142+61
Kazuo Makishima, Teruaki Enoto, Junko S. Hiraga +5
Magnetars are a special type of neutron stars, considered to have extreme dipole magnetic fields reaching ~1e+11 T. The magnetar 4U 0142+61, one of prototypes of this class, was st…
Discriminating the Progenitor Type of Supernova Remnants with Iron K-Shell Emission
Hiroya Yamaguchi, Carles Badenes, Robert Petre +11
Supernova remnants (SNRs) retain crucial information about both their parent explosion and circumstellar material left behind by their progenitor. However, the complexity of the in…
