XL-Calibur -- a second-generation balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission
Q. Abarr, H. Awaki, M. G. Baring +38
XL-Calibur is a hard X-ray (15-80 keV) polarimetry mission operating from a stabilised balloon-borne platform in the stratosphere. It builds on heritage from the X-Calibur mission,…
Suzaku Observations of Tycho's Supernova Remnant
T. Tamagawa, A. Hayato, S. Nakamura +19
Tycho's supernova remnant was observed by the XIS and HXD instruments onboard the Suzaku satellite on 2006 June 26-29 for 92 ks. The spectrum up to 30 keV was well fitted with a tw…
Suzaku Detection of Extended/Diffuse Hard X-Ray Emission from the Galactic Center
Takayuki Yuasa, Ken-ichi Tamura, Kazuhiro Nakazawa +12
Five on-plane regions within +/- 0.8deg of the Galactic center were observed with the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) and the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) onboard Suzaku. From all re…
In-Orbit Performance of the Hard X-ray Detector on board Suzaku
M. Kokubun, K. Makishima, T. Takahashi +52
The in-orbit performance and calibration of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board the X-ray astronomy satellite Suzaku are described. Its basic performances, including a wide ener…
Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on Board Suzaku
T. Takahashi, K. Abe, M. Endo +66
The Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board Suzaku covers a wide energy range from 10 keV to 600 keV by combination of silicon PIN diodes and GSO scintillators. The HXD is designed to a…
Development of a Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton telescope
Takaaki Tanaka, Takefumi Mitani, Shin Watanabe +10
We are developing a Compton telescope based on high resolution Si and CdTe imaging devices in order to obtain a high sensitivity astrophysical observation in sub-MeV gamma-ray regi…
