Ezoe, Yuichiro, Hamaguchi, Kenji, Gruendl, Robert A., Chu, You-Hua, Petre, Robert, Corcoran, Michael F.

The eastern tip region of the Carina Nebula was observed with the Suzaku XIS for 77 ks to conduct a high-precision spectral study of extended X-ray emission. XMM-Newton EPIC data of this region were...

Centimeter Imaging of the R Coronae Australis Region (2008)

Choi, Minho, Hamaguchi, Kenji, Lee, Jeong-Eun, Tatematsu, Ken'ichi

The R CrA region was observed in the 3.5 and 6.2 cm continuum with high angular resolutions (0.6--1.7 arcseconds) using the Very Large Array. Archival data sets were also analyzed for comparison,...

Resolving a Class I Protostar Binary System with Chandra (2008)

Hamaguchi, Kenji, Choi, Minho, Corcoran, Michael F., Choi, Chul-Sung, Tatematsu, Ken'ichi, Petre, Rob

Using a sub-pixel event repositioning technique, we spatially resolved X-ray emission from the infrared double system IRS 5 in the R Corona Australis molecular cloud with ~0.8" separation. As far as...

Suzaku Spectroscopy of the Extended X-Ray Emission in M17 (2007)

Hyodo, Yoshiaki, Tsujimoto, Masahiro, Hamaguchi, Kenji, Koyama, Katsuji, Kitamoto, Shunji, Maeda, Yoshitomo, ...

We present the results of a Suzaku spectroscopic study of the soft extended X-ray emission in the HII region M17. The spectrum of the extended emission was obtained with a high signal-to-noise ratio...

Diffuse X-ray Emission from the Carina Nebula Observed with Suzaku (2007)

Hamaguchi, Kenji

A number of giant HII regions are associated with soft diffuse X-ray emission. Among these, the Carina nebula possesses the brightest soft diffuse emission. The required plasma temperature and...

Eta Car and Its Surroundings: the X-ray Diagnosis (2007)

Kenji Hamaguchi, M. F. Corcoran

X-ray emission from the supermassive star Eta Carinae ( Carinae) originates from hot shocked gas produced by current stellar mass loss as well as ejecta from prior eruptive events. Absorption of this...
