Energy-Scale Calibration of the Suzaku X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer Using the Checker Flag Charge Injection Technique in Orbit
Midori Ozawa, Hideki Uchiyama, Hironori Matsumoto +25
The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) on board the Suzaku satellite is an X-ray CCD camera system that has superior performance such as a low background, high quantum efficiency, an…
The NeXT Mission
T. Takahashi, R. Kelley, K. Mitsuda +28
The NeXT (New exploration X-ray Telescope), the new Japanese X-ray Astronomy Satellite following Suzaku, is an international X-ray mission which is currently planed for launch in 2…
Type Ia and II supernovae contributions to the metal enrichment in intra-cluster medium observed with Suzaku
Kosuke Sato, Kazuyo Tokoi, Kyoko Matsushita +4
We studied the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in two clusters of galaxies (AWM 7 and Abell 1060) and two groups (HCG 62 and NGC 507) with the X-ray Observatory Suzaku…
H.E.S.S. observations of the supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622: shell-type morphology and spectrum of a widely extended VHE gamma-ray source
HESS Collaboration, F. A. Aharonian
The shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 was observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) of Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes between December 2004 and May…
Evidence for Solar-Wind Charge-Exchange X-Ray Emission from the Earth's Magnetosheath
Ryuichi Fujimoto, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Dan McCammon +7
We report an apparent detection of the C VI 4p to 1s transition line at 459 eV, during a long-term enhancement (LTE) in the Suzaku north ecliptic pole (NEP) observation of 2005 Sep…
DIOS: the Diffuse Intergalactic Oxygen Surveyor
T. Ohashi, M. Ishida, S. Sasaki +14
We present our proposal for a small X-ray mission DIOS (Diffuse Intergalactic Oxygen Surveyor), consisting of a 4-stage X-ray telescope and an array of TES microcalorimeters, coole…
