Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 209(5-6) 1097-1103, Dec, 2022The 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), Nov 21, 2022Abstract 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, Nov 12, 2022Abstract 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.
