Temperature Structure in the Perseus Cluster Core Observed with Hitomi
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192
The present paper investigates the temperature structure of the X-ray emitting plasma in the core of the Perseus cluster using the 1.8--20.0 keV data obtained with the Soft X-ray S…
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…
Discovery of the new X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132: a Candidate of a Neutron Star Low-mass X-ray binary
Megumi Shidatsu, Yutaro Tachibana, Taketoshi Yoshii +9
We report on the detection and follow-up multi-wavelength observations of the new X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 with the MAXI/GSC, Swift, and ground-based optical telescopes. The…
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…
Rapid Optical Variations Correlated with X-rays in the 2015 Second Outburst of V404 Cygni (GS 2023338)
Mariko Kimura, Taichi Kato, Keisuke Isogai +24
We present optical multi-colour photometry of V404 Cyg during the outburst from December, 2015 to January, 2016 together with the simultaneous X-ray data. This outburst occurred le…
NuSTAR and Swift observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source IC 342 X-1 in 2016: witnessing spectral evolution
Megumi Shidatsu, Yoshihiro Ueda, Sergei Fabrika
We report on an X-ray observing campaign of the ultraluminous X-ray source IC 342 X-1 with NuSTAR and Swift in 2016 October, in which we captured the very moment when the source sh…
