Neural network-based preprocessing to estimate the parameters of the X-ray emission of a single-temperature thermal plasma

Y. Ichinohe, S. Yamada, N. Miyazaki +1

We present data preprocessing based on an artificial neural network to estimate the parameters of the X-ray emission spectra of a single-temperature thermal plasma. The method find…

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…

Quantum-disordered state of magnetic and electric dipoles in a hydrogen-bonded Mott system

M. Shimozawa, K. Hashimoto, A. Ueda +12

Strongly enhanced quantum fluctuations often lead to a rich variety of quantum-disordered states. A representative case is liquid helium, in which zero-point vibrations of the heli…

Is the black hole in GX 339-4 really spinning rapidly?

S. Yamada, K. Makishima, Y. Uehara +7

The wide-band Suzaku spectra of the black hole binary GX 339-4, acquired in 2007 February during the Very High state, were reanalyzed. Effects of event pileup (significant within ~…
