Suzaku Observation of AXP 1E 1841-045 in SNR Kes 73
M. Morii, S. Kitamoto, N. Shibazaki +7
Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars, which are neutron stars with ultra strong magnetic field of -- G. Their energy spectra below 10…
PoGOLite - A High Sensitivity Balloon-Borne Soft Gamma-ray Polarimeter
Tuneyoshi Kamae, Viktor Andersson, Makoto Arimoto +36
We describe a new balloon-borne instrument (PoGOLite) capable of detecting 10% polarisation from 200mCrab point-like sources between 25 and 80keV in one 6 hour flight. Polarisation…
Measuring energy dependent polarization in soft gamma-rays using Compton scattering in PoGOLite
M. Axelsson, O. Engdegård, F. Ryde +23
Linear polarization in X- and gamma-rays is an important diagnostic of many astrophysical sources, foremost giving information about their geometry, magnetic fields, and radiation…
HETE-2 Observations of the X-Ray Flash XRF 040916
Makoto Arimoto, Nobuyuki Kawai, Atsumasa Yoshida +43
A long X-ray flash was detected and localized by the instruments aboard the High Energy Transient Explorer II (HETE-2) at 00:03:30 UT on 2004 September 16. The position was reporte…
MITSuME--Multicolor Imaging Telescopes for Survey and Monstrous Explosions
T. Kotani, N. Kawai, K. Yanagisawa +25
Development of MITSuME is reported. Two 50-cm optical telescopes have been built at Akeno in Yamanashi prefecture and at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) in Okayama prefectu…
A Comprehensive Study of Short Bursts from SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 Detected by HETE-2
Yujin E. Nakagawa, Atsumasa Yoshida, Kevin Hurley +20
We present the results of temporal and spectral studies of the short burst (less than a few hundred milliseconds) from the soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) 1806-20 and 1900+14 using the…
