New Scenario of plasma evolution in IC 443
Arisa Hirayama, Shigeo Yamauchi, Kumiko K. Nobukawa +2
Most of young and middle-aged supernova remnants (SNRs) exhibit an ionizing plasma (IP), an ionizing process following a shock heated SNR gas. On the other hand, significant fracti…
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…
Origin of the low-temperature plasma in the Galactic center X-ray emission
Shigeo Yamauchi, Miku Shimizu, Masayoshi Nobukawa +3
The Galactic Center X-ray Emission (GCXE) is composed of high temperature (7 keV) and low temperature (1 keV) plasmas (HTP and LTP, respectively). The global structure of the HTP i…
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…
Evidence for a neutral iron line generated by MeV protons from supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds
Kumiko K. Nobukawa, Masayoshi Nobukawa, Katsuji Koyama +6
Supernova remnants (SNRs) have been prime candidates for Galactic cosmic-ray accelerators. When low-energy cosmic-ray protons (LECRp) collide with interstellar gas, they ionize neu…
