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…

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…

Atomic data and spectral modeling constraints from high-resolution X-ray observations of the Perseus cluster with Hitomi

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192

The Hitomi SXS spectrum of the Perseus cluster, with 5 eV resolution in the 2-9 keV band, offers an unprecedented benchmark of the atomic modeling and database for hot collis…

Hitomi Observations of the LMC SNR N132D: Highly Redshifted X-ray Emission from Iron Ejecta

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

We present Hitomi observations of N132D, a young, X-ray bright, O-rich core-collapse supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Despite a very short observation of only…

Glimpse of the highly obscured HMXB IGR J16318-4848 with Hitomi

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

We report a Hitomi observation of IGR J16318-4848, a high-mass X-ray binary system with an extremely strong absorption of N_H~10^{24} cm^{-2}. Previous X-ray studies revealed that…

Hitomi Observation of Radio Galaxy NGC 1275: The First X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy of Fe-Kα Line Emission from an Active Galactic Nucleus

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

The origin of the narrow Fe-Kα fluorescence line at 6.4 keV from active galactic nuclei has long been under debate; some of the possible sites are the outer accretion disk, the bro…

Atmospheric gas dynamics in the Perseus cluster observed with Hitomi

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +195

Extending the earlier measurements reported in Hitomi collaboration (2016, Nature, 535, 117), we examine the atmospheric gas motions within the central 100~kpc of the Perseus clust…

Measurements of resonant scattering in the Perseus cluster core with Hitomi SXS

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192

Thanks to its high spectral resolution (~5 eV at 6 keV), the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) on board Hitomi enables us to measure the detailed structure of spatially resolved emissi…

Hitomi X-ray studies of Giant Radio Pulses from the Crab pulsar

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +201

To search for giant X-ray pulses correlated with the giant radio pulses (GRPs) from the Crab pulsar, we performed a simultaneous observation of the Crab pulsar with the X-ray satel…

Search for Thermal X-ray Features from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192

The Crab nebula originated from a core-collapse supernova (SN) explosion observed in 1054 A.D. When viewed as a supernova remnant (SNR), it has an anomalously low observed ejecta m…

The Quiescent Intracluster Medium in the Core of the Perseus Cluster

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +213

Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally-bound objects in the Universe and are still forming. They are thus important probes of cosmological parameters and a host…
