SUZAKU X-ray satellite
"Suzaku" in the fifth X-ray astronomy satellite of Japan、This laboratory from also design • Development、We went to the operation of the post-launch。Production is being promoted by the US-Japan International Cooperation、2005Was launched from JAXA Uchinoura Space Center on July 10 days。
Soft x-ray CCD detector(XIS)And hard x-ray detection instrument(HXD)By X-ray observations of broadband and high sensitivity due to、We have to elucidate the various high-energy phenomena of the universe。Suzaku home pageIn detailed information has been published。This laboratory is、Space Science Institute(JAXA/ISAS)And National Aeronautics and Space Administration.(NASA)、In cooperation with various universities、"Suzaku" satellite development and operation、Do also data analysis、Every day we little by little we are challenged to elucidate the mysteries of the universe。
ASTRO-H satellite
ASTRO-H satellite、2015It is the next generation of X-ray observation satellite, which is scheduled for launch in the year。Ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy by microcalorimeters、Captured by the hard X-ray telescope、3The highest of the high-sensitivity broadband observation will be possible the first time in the world the past that also extends to the digit or more。Galaxies and clusters of galaxies, which is filled to the high-temperature plasma、Make observations of high-energy cosmic phenomena such as black holes and supernova explosion、Structure and diversity of the universe、The goal is to explore the evolution of the universe。Astro-h satellite home pageIn detailed information has been published。
In the capital the University Astrophysics Laboratory、Micro-calorimeter(SXS detector)It is one of the key universities in the development of、Design • production • test • plays an important role up to the performance evaluation • Operational、We strive day and night for the success。Also、In cooperation with the Ishida laboratory of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science、Mirror for condensing the X-ray(XRT)I am also of the development。
Development of SXS detector、We are an international team with a focus on Japan and the United States。Very low temperature、X-ray calorimeter detector、Electrical、Construction、Heat of experts、Is developed by bringing together a lot of wisdom it is being promoted。
DIOS satellite
A wide field of view and the world's best energy resolution was characterized by、This survey mission by the X-ray light in the soft X-ray region。A bright line from the heavy elements such as oxygen by observing, including the redshift and velocity width、A mapping of hot intergalactic material in from the 100,000 that without a space large-scale structure 10 million degrees、It is the purpose of determining the dark baryon amount。Currently we are working towards the launch of the later 2018。
Other than taking advantage of the feature that the wide field of view、The hot gas of the galaxy inside and outside、Chemical evolution of galaxies、We can observe the spread plasma radiation, such as supernova remnant。(DIOS literature page)
GEO-X satellite
Earth's magnetosphere visualization of satellite GEO-X (GEOspace X-ray imager) The、The magnetosphere and visualized with the world's first X-ray、This mission, which aims to bring innovation to the magnetosphere observation。Telescope、It is expected to use a MEMS mirror that Metropolitan University space physics laboratory has been developed mainly。
