X-ray Astrophysics with X-ray Satellites

Compact Objects

• White Dwarfs
  
  • Discovery of new-type object with strong iron lines in the Galactic Plane (Terada et al 1999)
  • New Plasma diagnostic in the hot plasma of accretion columns
    using newly proposed mechanism (resonance scattering).
    (Terada et al 2001, 2004)
  • Discovery of a new candidate of Cosmic-ray acceleration site in magnetized white dwarfs
    (Terada et al 2008b, press release)
• Neutoron Stars
  
  • Study of Magnetic field with Cyclotron Resonance absorption feature (Terada et al 2006, 2007b)
  • X-ray emission from X-ray pulsars (Terada et al 2008a)
  • Pulsar search from young Supar Nova Remnants

Non-thermal Universe

• Particle Acceleration in Solar Flare
  
  • Monte Carlo Simulation of radiation transfer
  • Hard X-ray emission from Solar flares (RHESSI + SuzakuHXD-WAM)
    [solar flares with WAM]
• New Candidate: White Dwarf
  
  • Search for possible non-thermal emission (Terada et al 2007a, 2008b, press release)
• New Candidate: Clustar of galaxies
