Yoshihiro Ueda,Tadayuki Takahashi,Hajime Inoue,Takeshi Go Tsuru,Masaaki Sakano,Yoshitaka Ishisaki,Yasushi Ogasaka,Kazuo Makishima,T. Yamada,Masayuki Akiyama,Kouji Ohta +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a wide-area unbiased survey with the ASCA satellite in the 0.7-10 keV band around a north Galactic-pole region covering a continuous area of 7 deg2 (Large Sky Survey; LSS).

Journal ArticleDOI
ASCA Observations of the Sgr B2 Cloud: An X-Ray Reflection Nebula
TL;DR: In this paper, the ASCA results of imaging spectroscopy of the giant molecular cloud Sgr B2 were presented, and the X-ray spectrum was found to be very peculiar; it exhibits a strong emission line at 6.4 keV, a low energy cutoff below about 4 keV and a pronounced edge structure at 7.1 keV.

Asca observations of the sagittarius b2 cloud: an x-ray reflection nebula
Hiroshi Murakami,Hiroshi Murakami,Katsuji Koyama,Masaaki Sakano,Masaaki Sakano,Masahiro Tsujimoto,Y. Maeda,Y. Maeda +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ASCA results of imaging spectroscopy of the giant molecular cloud Sgr B2 were presented, and the X-ray spectrum and the morphology were well reproduced by a scenario that X-rays from an external source located in the Galactic center direction are scattered by the molecular cloud and come into our line of sight.
