High-sensitivity wide-band X-ray spectroscopy is the key feature of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, launched on 2005 July 10. This paper summarizes the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and… (More)
The Monitor of All Sky X-ray Image (MAXI) mission is the first astronomical payload to be installed on the Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility (JEM-EF or Kibo-EF) on the International Space… (More)
Wind conditions are widely recognized to influence the thermal states of humans. In this study, we investigated the relationship between wind conditions and thermal perception and energy balance in… (More)
Spectral studies of quiescent emission and bursts of magnetar candidates using XMM-Newton, Chandra and Swift data are presented. Spectra of both the quiescent emission and the bursts for most… (More)
We present new, wide, and deep images in the 1.1 mm continuum and the CO (J = 1–0) emission toward the northern part of the Orion A Giant Molecular Cloud (Orion-A GMC). The 1.1 mm data were taken… (More)
The unusual Be binary LSI ]61¡303 was observed by the ASCA X-ray satellite twice during the 26 day orbital-outburst cycle. Here we present the results of the spectral analysis of the ASCA data. The… (More)
Monitor of all-sky image (MAXI) Gas Slit Camera (GSC) detects gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the bursts with soft spectra, such as X-ray flashes (XRFs). MAXI/GSC is sensitive to the energy range… (More)
Results are presented of early X-ray afterglow observations of GRB 060105 by Swift and Suzaku. The bright, long gamma-ray burst GRB 060105 triggered the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) at 06:49:28… (More)

We revealed that the dwarf nova 1RXS J232953.9+062814 is an SU UMa-type system with a superhump period of 66.774± 0.010 min. The short period strongly indicates that the orbital period of this object… (More)
