Spectral break of energetic pulsar wind nebulae detected with wideband X-ray observations
Terada, Yukikatsu; Uchida, Hiroyuki; Bamba, Aya +4 more
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are one of the most energetic galactic sources with bright emissions from radio waves to very high-energy gamma-rays. We perform wideband X-ray spectroscopy of four energetic PWNe, N 157 B, PSR J1813-1749, PSR J1400-6325, and G21.5-0.9, with the Suzaku, Chandra, NuSTAR, and Hitomi observatories. A significant spectral br…
The soft X-ray background with Suzaku. I. Milky Way halo
Sato, Kosuke; Yamasaki, Noriko Y.; Matsushita, Kyoko +4 more
We present measurements of the soft X-ray background emission for 130 Suzaku observations at 75° < l < 285° and |b| > 15° obtained from 2005 to 2015, covering nearly one solar cycle. In addition to the standard soft X-ray background model consisting of the local hot bubble and the Milky Way Halo (MWH), we include a hot collisional-ionizat…
Suzaku observations of Fe K-shell lines in the supernova remnant W 51 C and hard X-ray sources in the proximity
Fujita, Yutaka; Nobukawa, Masayoshi; Nobukawa, Kumiko K. +2 more
In this paper, we investigate the Fe K-shell lines in the supernova remnant W 51 C and hard X-ray sources in the proximity. We measure the intensities of the Fe I Kα and Fe XXV Heα lines at 6.40 and 6.68 keV, respectively, and find that the intensity of the 6.68 keV line is consistent with the background level expected from previous studies, while…
