Journal of Low Temperature Physics 209(5-6) 1097-1103 2022年12月The radio frequency interference (RFI) due to the X-band telecommunication with the LiteBIRD spacecraft was computed using a 3D electromagnetic field simulator to evaluate its field strength at the instrument detectors. First, the level of RFI with different materials for the spacecraft main body was evaluated. The attenuation effects for aluminum (Al) and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in comparison with a perfect electric conductor (PEC) were 1.5 dB and 10.5 dB, respectively. Then, the electric field strength for various shield plate structures on the solar panels was evaluated. In the best case, the RFI level could be attenuated by another 31 dB with an optimum design. Finally, the frequency dependence of the RFI was evaluated across the X-band, giving an attenuation slope of − 10 dB/oct, leading to an electric field intensity of − 116.8 dBV/m at the detector position for a frequency of 8.4 GHz.

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics 2023(4) 2022年11月21日Abstract LiteBIRD the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as a strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with an expected launch in the late 2020s using JAXA’s H3 rocket. LiteBIRD is planned to orbit the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2, where it will map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization over the entire sky for three years, with three telescopes in 15 frequency bands between 34 and 448 GHz, to achieve an unprecedented total sensitivity of 2.2 μK-arcmin, with a typical angular resolution of 0.5○ at 100 GHz. The primary scientific objective of LiteBIRD is to search for the signal from cosmic inflation, either making a discovery or ruling out well-motivated inflationary models. The measurements of LiteBIRD will also provide us with insight into the quantum nature of gravity and other new physics beyond the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. We provide an overview of the LiteBIRD project, including scientific objectives, mission and system requirements, operation concept, spacecraft and payload module design, expected scientific outcomes, potential design extensions and synergies with other projects. Subject Index LiteBIRD cosmic inflation, cosmic microwave background, B-mode polarization, primordial gravitational waves, quantum gravity, space telescope

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 75(1) 30-36 2022年11月12日Abstract 2S 0921−630 is an eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) with an orbital period of ∼9 d. Past X-ray observations have revealed that 2S 0921−630 has an extended accretion disk corona (ADC), from which most of the X-rays from the system are emitted. We report the result of our Suzaku archival data analysis of 2S 0921−630. The average X-ray spectrum is reproduced with a blackbody emission (kTbb ∼ 0.3 keV) Comptonized by optically thick gas (“Compton cloud”; optical depth τ ∼ 21) with a temperature of ∼2 keV, combined with 13 emission lines. We find that most of the emission lines correspond to highly ionized atoms: O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Fe. A Kα emission line and an absorption edge of semi-neutral iron (Fe textsci– textscxvii) are also detected. The semi-neutral iron Kα line is significantly broad, with a width of 0.11 ± 0.02 keV in sigma, which corresponds to the Doppler broadening by the Kepler motion at a radius of ∼109 cm. We suggest that the observed semi-neutral iron line originates at the inner part of the accretion disk in the immediate outside of the Compton cloud, i.e., the Compton cloud may have a radius of ∼109 cm.

Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 7732 2010年© 2010 SPIE. The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will investigate the physics of the high-energy universe by performing high-resolution, high-throughput spectroscopy with moderate angular resolution. ASTRO-H covers very wide energy range from 0.3 keV to 600 keV. ASTRO-H allows a combination of wide band X-ray spectroscopy (5-80 keV) provided by multilayer coating, focusing hard X-ray mirrors and hard X-ray imaging detectors, and high energy-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy (0.3-12 keV) provided by thin-foil X-ray optics and a micro-calorimeter array. The mission will also carry an X-ray CCD camera as a focal plane detector for a soft X-ray telescope (0.4-12 keV) and a non-focusing soft gamma-ray detector (40-600 keV). The micro-calorimeter system is developed by an international collaboration led by ISAS/JAXA and NASA. The simultaneous broad bandpass, coupled with high spectral resolution of ΔE ~7 eV provided by the micro-calorimeter will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued.

61(SUPPL. 1) 2008年10月6日The charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of the X-ray CCDs on board the Suzaku<br /> satellite (X-ray Imaging Spectrometers; XIS) has increased since the launch due<br /> to radiation damage, and the energy resolution has been degraded. To improve<br /> the CTI, we have applied a spaced-row charge injection (SCI) technique to the<br /> XIS in orbit; by injecting charges into CCD rows periodically, the CTI is<br /> actively decreased. The CTI in the SCI mode depends on the distance between a<br /> signal charge and a preceding injected row, and the pulse height shows periodic<br /> positional variations. Using in-flight data of onboard calibration sources and<br /> of the strong iron line from the Perseus cluster of galaxies, we studied the<br /> variation in detail. We developed a new method to correct the variation. By<br /> applying the new method, the energy resolution (FWHM) at 5.9 keV at March 2008<br /> is ~155 eV for the front-illuminated CCDs and ~175 eV for the back-illuminated<br /> CCD.

61(SUPPL. 1) 2008年9月22日The X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) on board the Suzaku satellite is an<br /> X-ray CCD camera system that has superior performance such as a low background,<br /> high quantum efficiency, and good energy resolution in the 0.2-12 keV band.<br /> Because of the radiation damage in orbit, however, the charge transfer<br /> inefficiency (CTI) has increased, and hence the energy scale and resolution of<br /> the XIS has been degraded since the launch of July 2005. The CCD has a charge<br /> injection structure, and the CTI of each column and the pulse-height dependence<br /> of the CTI are precisely measured by a checker flag charge injection (CFCI)<br /> technique. Our precise CTI correction improved the energy resolution from 230<br /> eV to 190 eV at 5.9 keV in December 2006. This paper reports the CTI<br /> measurements with the CFCI experiments in orbit. Using the CFCI results, we<br /> have implemented the time-dependent energy scale and resolution to the Suzaku<br /> calibration database.

Publ.Astron.Soc.Jap.60:S11-S24,2008 2008年3月5日One of the advantages of the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) system on board<br /> Suzaku is its low and stable non-X-ray background (NXB). In order to make the<br /> best use of this advantage, modeling the NXB spectra with high accuracy is<br /> important to subtract them from the spectra of on-source observations. We<br /> construct an NXB database by collecting XIS events when the dark Earth covers<br /> the XIS FOV. The total exposure time of the NXB data is about 785 ks for each<br /> XIS. It is found that the count rate of the NXB anti-correlates with the<br /> cut-off-rigidity and correlates with the count rate of the PIN upper<br /> discriminator (PIN-UD) in Hard X-ray Detector on board Suzaku. We thus model<br /> the NXB spectrum for a given on-source observation by employing either of these<br /> parameters and obtain a better reproducibility of the NXB for the model with<br /> PIN-UD than that with the cut-off-rigidity. The reproducibility of the NXB<br /> model with PIN-UD is 4.55-5.63% for each XIS NXB in the 1-7 keV band and<br /> 2.79-4.36% for each XIS NXB in the 5-12 keV band for each 5 ks exposure of the<br /> NXB data. This NXB reproducibility is much smaller than the spatial fluctuation<br /> of the cosmic X-ray background in the 1-7 keV band, and is almost comparable to<br /> that in the 5-12 keV band.

PASJ : publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 60(1) S57-S68 2008年2月20日The accretion-powered pulsar Her X-1 was observed with Suzaku twice in its main-on state, on 2005 October 5-6 and 2006 March 29-30, for a net exposure of 30.5 ks and 34.4 ks, respectively. In the 2005 and 2006 observations, the source was detected at an average 10-30 keV intensity of 290 mCrab and 230 mCrab, respectively. The intrinsic pulse period was measured on both occasions at 1.23776 s by HXD-PIN, after barycentric and binary corrections. The pulse phase-averaged spectra in the energy range above 10 keV were well fitted by the "Negative and Positive power-law times EXponential" (NPEX) model, multiplied by a fundamental cyclotron resonance scattering feature at similar to 36 keV, which appears very significantly in the HXD-PIN data. The resonance profiles were successfully reproduced by a Lorentzian-type scattering cross section, rather than by a Gaussian-type alternative. The pulse phase-averaged HXD-GSO data, covering 50-120 keV, are featureless. However, in a differential spectrum between the pulse-decay phase and off-pulse phase, the second-harmonic cyclotron resonance was detected in the GSO data at similar to 73 keV, with a depth of 1.6(-0.7)(+0.9) This makes Her X-1 a 6th pulsar with established second-harmonic resonance. The implications of these results are briefly discussed.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 59(1 SPEC. ISS.) 2007年4月8日The XIS is an X-ray Imaging Spectrometer system, consisting of state-of-the-art charge-coupled devices (CCDs) optimized for X-ray detection, camera bodies, and control electronics. Four sets of XIS sensors are placed at the focal planes of the grazing-incidence, nested thin-foil mirrors (XRT: X-Ray Telescope) onboard the Suzaku satellite. Three of the XIS sensors have front-illuminated CCDs, while the other has a back-illuminated CCD. Coupled with the XRT, the energy range of 0.2-12keV with energy resolution of 130eV at 5.9 keV, and a field of view of 18′ × 18′ are realized. Since the Suzaku launch on 2005 July 10, the XIS has been functioning well. © 2007. Astronomical Society of Japan.

HIGH-ENERGY DETECTORS IN ASTRONOMY 5501 296-303 2004年 査読有りNeXT is the X-ray satellite proposed for the next Japanese space science mission. While the satellite total mass and the launching vehicle are similar to the prior satellite Astro-E2, the sensitivity is much improved; it requires all the components to be lighter and faster than previous architecture. This paper shows the data processing architecture of the X-ray CCD camera system SXI (Soft X-ray Imager), which is the top half of the WXI (Wide-band X-ray Imager) of the sensitivity in 0.2-80 keV. The system is basically a variation of Astro-E2 XIS, but event extraction speed is much faster than it to fulfill the requirements coming from the large effective area and fast exposure period. At the same time, data transfer lines between components are redesigned in order to reduce the number and mass of the wire harnesses that limit the flexibility of the component distribution.

X-RAY TIMING 2003: ROSSI AND BEYOND 714 397-404 2004年Timing capabilities of the current and future X-ray astronomy satellites in Japan are reviewed. Stresses are put on the two programs, Astro-E2 and NeXT and some other programs are also mentioned. Astro-E2 is developed under the Japan-US collaboration, and is scheduled to be launched in February, 2005. Astro-E2 is basically a spectroscopic mission, and its timing capability of the focal-plane detectors is rather limited. However, the non-imaging, hard X-ray detector can provide a good time resolution. Astro-E2 will be followed by the NeXT satellite, which we plan to launch around 2010. NeXT is characterized by the direct imaging capability up to similar to80 keV. Its timing capability is also limited, but may be good for some kind of timing observations.
