Outline of research
Astrophysics Laboratory, Tokyo Metropolitan University(Ishizaki and Ezu Laboratory)In、It is the following three pillars of research。
- The development of X-ray observation satellite、use、Planning (Click here for more information.)
- Development of the next generation X-ray observation equipment aimed at the future satellites (Click here for more information.)
- Galaxy、銀河団、star、Planet、Black Hole、Astrophysics research of neutron stars, etc. (Click here for more information.)
Using X-ray astronomy satellite "Suzaku", etc.、We are of observational astrophysics research。2015The ASTRO-H satellite of the year launch schedule boasts the world's highest energy resolution micro-calorimeter detector(SXS detector)There will be installed。This laboratory is、It is one of the key universities of the SXS detector。
For the future of satellite、Superconducting Transition edge detectors(TES)And ultra lightweight mirror(MEMS mirror)I am also of the development。TES enables energy resolution and multi-pixellated exceeding ASTRO-H satellite。The MEMS mirror that state-of-the-art technology has been integrated、It can be realized X-ray mirror of the world's lightest、"In-situ observation of the Earth's magnetosphere" will for the first time possible。
This laboratory is、Not only in Japan、In cooperation with universities and research institutions around the world、Planetary science、While also promoting cooperation with the atom / nuclear field and the like、We aim to expand the global research。
