X-ray Diagnostics of Thermal Conditions of the Hot Plasmas in the Centaurus Cluster (2009)

Takahashi, I., Kawaharada, M., Makishima, K., Matsushita, K., Fukazawa, Y., Ikebe, Y., ...

X-ray data of the Centaurus cluster, obtained with {\it XMM-Newton} for 45 ksec, were analyzed. Deprojected EPIC spectra from concentric thin shell regions were reproduced equally well by a...

Suzaku Observation of the New Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516 in Outburst (2009)

Enoto, T., Nakagawa, Y. E., Rea, N., Esposito, P., Gotz, D., Hurley, K., ...

We present the first Suzaku observation of the new Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516, performed on 2008 August 26, four days after the onset of bursting activity of this new member of the magnetar...

Broad-Band Spectrum of The Black Hole Candidate IGR J17497-2821 Studied with Suzaku (2008)

Paizis, A., Ebisawa, K., Takahashi, H., Dotani, T., Kohmura, T., Kokubun, M., ...

The broad-band 1-300 keV Suzaku spectrum of IGR J17497-2821, the X-ray transient discovered by INTEGRAL in September 2006, is presented. Suzaku observed IGR J17497-2821 on September 25, eight days...

The NeXT Mission (2008)

Takahashi, T., Kelley, R., Mitsuda, K., Kunieda, H., Petre, R., White, N., ...

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 2013. NeXT is a...

Suzaku Observations of Tycho's Supernova Remnant (2008)

Tamagawa, T., Hayato, A., Nakamura, S., Terada, Y., Bamba, A., Hiraga, J. S., ...

Tycho's supernova remnant was observed by the XIS and HXD instruments onboard the Suzaku satellite on 2006 June 26-29 for 92 ks. The spectrum up to 30 keV was well fitted with a two-component model,...

Detection of High-Energy Gamma Rays from Winter Thunderclouds (2007)

Tsuchiya, H., Enoto, T., Yamada, S., Yuasa, T., Kawaharada, M., Kitaguchi, T., ...

A report is made on a comprehensive observation of a burstlike -ray emission from thunderclouds on the Sea of Japan, during strong thunderstorms on 6 January 2007. The detected emission, lasting for...

Detection of high-energy gamma rays from winter thunderclouds (2007)

Tsuchiya, H., Enoto, T., Yamada, S., Yuasa, T., Kawaharada, M., Kitaguchi, T., ...

A report is made on a comprehensive observation of a burst-like $\gamma$-ray emission from thunderclouds on the Sea of Japan, during strong thunderstorms on 2007 January 6. The detected emission,...

In-Orbit Performance of the Hard X-ray Detector on board Suzaku (2006)

Kokubun, M., Makishima, K., Takahashi, T., Murakami, T., Tashiro, M., Fukazawa, Y., ...

The in-orbit performance and calibration of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board the X-ray astronomy satellite Suzaku are described. Its basic performances, including a wide energy bandpass of...

Suzaku Observation of Two Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in NGC 1313 (2006)

Mizuno, T., Miyawaki, R., Ebisawa, K., Kubota, A., Miyamoto, M., Winter, L., ...

Two ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the nearby Sb galaxy NGC 1313, named X-1 and X-2, were observed with Suzaku on 2005 September 15. During the observation for a net exposure of 28~ks (but...

Suzaku Reveals Helium-burning Products in the X-ray Emitting Planetary Nebula BD+303639 (2006)

Murashima, M., Kokubun, M., Makishima, K., Kotoku, J., Murakami, H., Matsushita, K., ...

BD+303639, the brightest planetary nebula at X-ray energies, was observed with Suzaku, an X-ray observatory launched on 2005 July 10. Using the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer, the K-lines from C VI, O...

Design and Performance of the Soft Gamma-ray Detector for the NeXT mission (2006)

Tajima, H., Kamae, T., Madejski, G., Mitani, T., Nakazawa, K., Tanaka, T., ...

The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) on board the NeXT (Japanese future high energy astrophysics mission) is a Compton telescope with narrow field of view (FOV), which utilizes Compton kinematics to...

Effects on tumour microcirculation in mice of misonidazole and tumour necrosis factor plus hyperthermia.

Fujimoto, S., Kobayashi, K., Takahashi, M., Konno, C., Kokubun, M., Ohta, M., ...

We examined the effects of misonidazole (MISO) and recombinant human tumour necrosis factor (rh-TNF) on tumour blood flow in mice given hyperthermic treatments. MISO (500 mg kg-1) or rh-TNF (6 x...
