Supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) are white dwarf (WD) binaries that radiate almost entirely below ∼1 keV. Their X-ray spectra are often complex when viewed with the X-ray grating spectrometers, where numerous emission and absorption features are int...

Circinus X-1 (Cir X-1) is a neutron star binary with an elliptical orbit of 16.6 days. The source is unique for its extreme youth, providing a key to understanding early binary evolution. However, its X-ray variability is too complex to reach a cl...

Low-temperature detectors often use mechanical coolers as part of the cooling chain in order to reach sub-Kelvin operating temperatures. The microphonic noise caused by the mechanical coolers is a general and inherent issue for these detectors. We...
MAXI J1820+070 is a transient black hole binary discovered on 2018 March 11. The unprecedented rich statistics brought by the NICER X-ray telescope allow detailed timing analyses up to ∼1 kHz uncompromised by photon shot noise. To estimate the tim...

gamma Cas analog sources are a subset of Be stars that emit intense and hard X-ray emission. Two competing ideas for their X-ray production mechanism are (a) the magnetic activities of the Be star and its disk and (b) the accretion from the Be sta...

X-RAY AND GAMMA-RAY INSTRUMENTATION FOR ASTRONOMY XII 4497 149-157 2002年 [査読有り]
We study the relation between diffusion and loss of charge produced in X-ray CCDs with the fitting method. We obtain the extent and the pulse height of each X-ray event in a CCD by a two-dimensional image-fitting the charge distribution of the eve...
X-RAY AND GAMMA-RAY INSTRUMENTATION FOR ASTRONOMY XI 4140 470-477 2000年 [査読有り]
CCDs can function as the X-ray spectrometer by counting the number of electrons created by the ionization of semiconductor atoms following the photoelectric absorption of a X-ray photon. In order to measure the incident X-ray energy correctly, we ...
