The X-Ray Observatory Suzaku

Kazuhisa Mitsuda, +142 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and data processing that are related to observations of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, including high-sensitivity wide-band Xray spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for shock acceleration of high-energy electrons in the supernova remnant SN1006

TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray observations of the remnant of supernova 1006, made by the ASCA satellite, indicate that emission from the edges of the supernova remnant shell is dominated by radiation from electrons accelerated to energies of ~ 100 TeV within the shock front.

The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission

Kirpal Nandra, +239 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena+) mission as discussed by the authors provides the necessary performance (e.g., angular resolution, spectral resolution, survey grasp) to address these questions and revolutionize our understanding of the Hot and Energetic Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quiescent intracluster medium in the core of the Perseus cluster

Felix Aharonian, +224 more
- 06 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: X-ray observations of the core of the Perseus cluster reveal a remarkably quiescent atmosphere in which the gas has a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of 164 ± 10 kilometres per second in the region 30–60 kiloparsecs from the central nucleus, infering that a total cluster mass determined from hydrostatic equilibrium in a central region would require little correction for turbulent pressure.
