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…
In-flight performance of the Canadian Astro-H Metrology System
Luigi C. Gallo, Alexander Koujelev, Stephane Gagnon +11
The Canadian Astro-H Metrology System (CAMS) on the Hitomi X-ray satellite is a laser alignment system that measures the lateral displacement (X/Y) of the extensible optical bench…
Inorbit Performance of the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) on board the Hitomi (ASTRO-H) satellite
H. Matsumoto, H. Awaki, M. Ishida +16
Hitomi (ASTRO-H) carries two Hard X-ray Telescopes (HXTs) that can focus X-rays up to 80 keV. Combined with the Hard X-ray Imagers (HXIs) that detect the focused X-rays, imaging sp…
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…
In-flight Calibration of Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (3) Effective Area
Masahiro Tsujimoto, Takashi Okajima, Megan E. Eckart +14
We present the result of the in-flight calibration of the effective area of the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) onboard the Hitomi X-ray satellite using an observation of the Crab ne…
