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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accretion powered X-ray pulsars

TL;DR: In this article, a unified description of the properties of 14 X-ray pulsars is presented and compared with the current theoretical understanding of these systems, with the only trend in the phase averaged spectra being that the lower luminosity systems appear to have less abrupt high energy cutoffs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A complete X-ray sample of the high-latitude /absolute value of b greater than 20 deg/ sky from HEAO 1 A-2 - Log N-log S and luminosity functions

TL;DR: An all-sky survey of X-ray sources was performed, complete to a limiting sensitivity of 3.1 x 10 to the -11 ergs/sq cm/s in the 2-10 keV band.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Einstein /HEAO 2/ X-ray Observatory

TL;DR: The Einstein X-ray Observatory (HEAO 2) as mentioned in this paper is a fully imaging focusing Xray telescope with an angular resolution of a few arc sec, a field of view of up to one deg, and a sensitivity several hundred times greater than previously available in any Xray astronomy experiment.
