The main objectives is measuring changes in the cyclotron resonance energy in an outburst decay.It is known from another X-ray pulsar 4U0115+63 that the cyclotron resonance energy increased from 11 keV to 16 keV, as the luminosity decreased across a threshold luminosity of 4x10^37 erg/s. The flare of A0535+26 is a chance to know whether this behavior is the RULE among binary pulsars or an EXCEPTION. A0535+26 is fading down and will reach 30mCrab (5-100keV) on September 17, which is 5x10^36 erg/s. It is better to be observed as soon as possible, before it fades out.CALIBRATION1ASWGNULLNULLNULLJAP0SWGTOO Observation of A0535+026NULLN

A 2003 RXTE observation yielded F_2-10 keV = 4E-11 erg/cm2/sec. The source is currently almost 3 times brighter than during the SAX observations. The main goals are to measure the high energy cutoff and to place a strong limit on the presence of reflection. The Compton reflection hump is weak in SAX data (suggesting that the Fe K line originates in Compton-thin material). Determining the strength of the reflection component is critical for constraining the geometry of the accreting material.CALIBRATION1ASWGNULLNULLNULLJAP0SWGNarrow Emission Line Galaxy NGC 2110NULLN

However, the ACIS was not able to resolve C, N, O lines, which are of vital importance. The XMM RGS and Chandra LETG could do, but we need very long exposure.

With M=~7 Msolar and distinct radio lobes, GRO J1655-40 has been classified as a microquasar. It was highly variable during the first few years after its discovery while showing irregular flaring and a wide range of continuum states. Discrete Fe K absorption structure was observed with ASCA. In the summer of 1997 it entered an extended quiescence that lasted for ~8 years. In March 2005 it became active again and XMM & Chandra have observed it since. Only Suzaku can provide the broadband sensitivity required to map the Fe K structure and the continuum as they change.

It is one of the few clusters from which BeppoSAX positively detected excess hard X-rays (Nevalainen et al. ApJ 608, 166, 2004). Because of the relatively low temperature, the HXD-PIN energy band is expected to be relatively free from thermal emission, making this object ideal to the search for non-thermal signals. We expect the non-thermal flux to be 4-5% of the PIN background at 20 keV, and a 150 ksec on-source exposure would be needed to securely detect this. To know the current background over the full COR range, an off-source exposure for one day or a ~40 ksec exposure onto a very soft source, would be required immediately before or after the on-source data acquisition.CALIBRATION1ASWGNULLNULLNULLJAP0SWGDiffuse Hard X-rays from ClustersNULLN

The 1st may be done by measuring the cool disk emission with the XIS-BI, resolving the fluorescent Fe-K line with the XIS-FI and detecting the reflection continuum with the HXD. Since these features are thought to come from the optically-thick disk a simultaneous measurement will for the 1st time allow for self-consistent constraining of the disk geometry in the hard state. Cyg X-1 is the best & most secure object for this stufy and is now in the low/hard state.

To recover the energy resolution of the XIS, we will try the periodic charge injection method. However, the charge injection will change calibrations such as gain, QE and so on dramatically. To study the change of the clibrations, Perseus cluster is one of the best targets, because it is extended over the whole XIS FOV and the iron K line from the cluster is extremely strong. For the first 50ks, the observation will be done with the normal mode without the charge injection. For the second and third 50ks, we will do the charge injections with every 54 and 108 rows, repectively.CALIBRATION1AMATSUMOTOHIRONORINULLNULLJAP1AO1PERSEUS OBSERVATION FOR CALIBRATIONS ON THE PERIODIC CHARGE INJECTION METHODXISY

Uniquely, the rate of bursting has increased systematically over 18 years by 15 times to every 20 min in 2006/07 making it the best source for study of absorption in bursts. Suzaku allows measurement of ADC temperature via the high energy cut-off and can give the first detection of cooling by soft photons from the neutron star from the change of cut-off energy during bursts. Curve-of-growth analysis gives the absorber temperature and tests our suggestion that absorption lines are formed in the ADC.

The pulsar has its period 64 ms and the hard spectrum. We suggest that the pulsar shows the signs of having the small magnetic field. The SUZAKU observation must give the answer for this hypothesis. First, HXD allows us to observe the spectrum in the high energy range, and if the cut-off would be observed, the magnetic fields of pulsar will be estimate. Seconds, XIS has the great energy resolution to determine the abundance of the shell. This would let us estimate the mass of the progenitor. Third, HXD provides the new spin down rate observation. Then, we can make sure the constancy of the spin down rate.

Fe fluorescence is produced by illumination of the photosphere by ionizing coronal X-rays and its intensity depends on the height of the X-ray source. We propose to observe Fe fluorescence in the single G-type giant HR 9024 and in the active RS CVn system II Peg to obtain a direct geometrical constraint on the scale height of their coronal structures. These two stars have the brightest Fe fluorescence features of all the late-type stars observed by the Chandra-HETGS and their different stellar parameters (stellar radius, gravity, multiplicity,..) and evolutionary stage will allow us to probe the typical coronal scale for significantly different conditions.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BTESTAPAOLANULLNULLUSA1AO1GEOMETRY DIAGNOSTICS FROM FE FLUORESCENT EMISSION IN LATE-TYPE EVOLVED STARSXISN

Included in this catalog are two sources identified with lesser known dwarf novae, V893 Sco and SS Aur. Although these are known to be soft X-ray sources from the ROSAT All-sky Survey, there has never been a pointed observation with an imaging X-ray telescope of either object. Here I propose short Suzaku observations of V893 Sco and SS Aur to check the reliability of XSS fluxes, hence that of the luminosity functions derived from the XSS catalog. In addition, such observations serve as a pilot study to determine if these individual dwarf novae may merit further in-depth X-ray studies.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BMUKAIKOJINULLNULLUSA1AO1CONFIRMING THE IDENTIFICATION OF RXTE ALL-SKY SLEW SURVEY SOURCES WITH DWARF NOVAEXISN

These 3 objects are members of a subclass of symbiotics characterized by rapid optical flickering, and in some cases jets, recurrent nova eruptions, and high-mass white dwarfs possibly headed toward supernova Type Ia explosion. The origin of the hard X-ray emission from these accreting white dwarfs is a mystery. Broad-band X-ray observations, which only Suzaku can provide, are needed to bridge the gap between existing soft and hard X-ray spectra. We propose to perform such Suzaku observations of RT Cru, T CrB, and RS Oph to distinguish among thermal emission from a magnetic accretion column, non-thermal emission from a jet, or some unforeseen emission mechanism.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ASOKOLOSKIJENNIFERNULLNULLUSA1AO1THE NATURE OF HARD X-RAY SYMBIOTIC BINARIESXISN

One possible explanation for the absence of observed pulsations is that the pulsed signal is beamed in directions other than our line of sight. This can be tested using Suzaku by searching for pulsations in the iron K line. This line is formed efficiently under almost all conditions of ionization and temperature, and so represents an X-ray bolometer which should respond to pulsed X-rays no matter where they are pointed. We plan to make such a search, and to probe the other properties of the wind and compact object in this system by observing with Suzaku for 80 ks away from eclipse.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AKALLMANTIMOTHYNULLNULLUSA1AO1IRON LINE VARIABILITY IN 4U1700-37XISN

The changes in both the continuum and the He- and H- like Fe K absorption features during dips have been recently demonstrated to be consistent with a change in the properties of the photoionized absorbers present in these systems. We will use the XIS to characterise the photoionised absorbers and reliably determine the values of the ionization parameter for each source, and the simultaneous spectra of HXD to uniquely determine the underlying continuum shapes including any contributions due to reflection components and to extend the photoionized absorber fits to higher energies.

Galactic plane survey has an intriguing possible counterpart seen in ROSAT survey data. The X-ray data show an unidentified, extended nebular structure with a hard spectrum, in close coincidence to the TeV source. It is plausible to assume that the same energetic particle population is responsible for the emission in both bands. Suzaku is optimally suited to establish the likely non-thermal nature of the X-ray spectrum and to search for the high-energy end of the emitting particle spectrum, which is likely visible in the HXD domain.

Their slow rotation periods, unprecedented for their apparent youth, point to enormous surface magnetic fields, a thousand times stronger than the typical inferred radio-pulsar field. The origin of the X-ray emission from these pulsars is still being debated. The recent discovery of a hard nonthermal pulsed X-ray emission from 1E 1841-045 with RXTE well beyond 10keV, can probably be explain by a magnetospheric origin and should extend above 100keV. The HXD onboard Suzaku gives us a unique opportunity to characterize the high-energy part of the emission with the added advantage to use the XIS to characterize the lower energy data.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AHARRUSILANANORIIMIKIOUSJ1AO1SUZAKU OBSERVATIONS OF THE ANOMALOUS X-RAY PULSAR 1E~1841-045 IN THE SNR KES 73HXDN

However, a recent XMM observation confirmed earlier ASCA findings of an extended, center-filled X-ray source, not resembling the contours of the radio-detected SNR. We propose hard X-ray observations to investigate the alternatively plerionic origin of HESS J1813-178, given the wide spectral coverage possible by XIS/HXD. This will clarify the discrepancy between ASCA and recent INTEGRAL data.

The main aim of this observation is to examine how high energy this emission extend to. Because the these emissions are almost 100% pulsed component, so using the pulse on-off method, we can achive the ultimate sensitivity not depending on the reproducibility of the background but depending only on the photon statistics.

Their X-ray emission is typically very soft. Recently, however, 4 symbiotics have been detected out to almost 100 keV. Suzaku observations of two of these sources revealed that the hard X-rays emanated from an extremely hot thermal plasma. One means of producing such hot gas is accretion onto a near Chandrasekhar-mass WD. We propose to use the unique capabilities of Suzaku to test this hypothesis. We will use broad-band X-ray spectral fitting to determine the temperature of the hot plasma, hard X-ray timing studies to search for or constrain rapid variations due to either magnetic or non-magnetic accretion, and Fe line diagnostics to investigate the role of scattering.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BSOKOLOSKIJENNIFERNULLNULLUSA2AO2ARE HARD X-RAY SYMBIOTICS PROGENITORS OF TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE?HXDY

They are not persistently bright, but the nature of their low-level variability is not well known. Similarly short outbursts are also seen in bright HMXBs with supergiant companions such as Cyg X-1 and Vel X-1. The mechanism of these outbursts is unknown in all cases. We propose long pointings to the two best-studied SFXTs and a third object, XTE J1743-363, which seems to be transitional between SFXTs and persistent supergiant HMXBs. We will characterize their variability at low flux levels, both to understand the accretion mechanism and to enable surveys of archival data for new SFXTs.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CSMITHDAVIDNULLNULLUSA2AO2CHARACTERIZING THE SPECTRUM AND VARIABILITY OF THE SUPERGIANT FAST X-RAY TRANSIENTSXISY

The latter has been confirmed by our 60ks AO1 observation which allowed for the first detection of a soft excess below 2keV as well as the determination of the paramters of the fundamental cyclotron line with unprecedented accuracy.

The proposed observation will allow us to investigate both the quiescent and flaring states of this complex (possibly interacting) binary system, by means of a variability study and a time-resolved spectral analysis of its X-ray emission. We aim to detect and constrain the non-thermal hard X-ray emission component, and to search for a possible Fe Kalpha line emission, thanks to the superb broad-band spectral capabilities of Suzaku.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BMAGGIOANTONIONULLNULLEUR2AO2BROAD-BAND X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY OF AN EXTREMELY ACTIVE CORONAL SOURCEHXDY

We propose to observe the two AXPs, 1E 2259+586 and 1E 1048.1-5937, with SUZAKU. Although no detections of the hard X-ray emissions have been reported, the results of the simulation using XSPEC for HXD indicate that SUZAKU detects the hard X-ray emissions above 20~keV from both AXPs for the first time with a quite high probability. The time resolution of HXD is able to provide the pulse profiles and the phase-resolved spectra in hard X-rays emissions. With these results of the observations, SUZAKU will provide a crucial information to study the emission processes in the magnetosphere of AXPs.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CTAKATAJUMPEINULLNULLJAP3AO3X-RAY OBSERVATIONS OF ANOMALOUS X-RAY PULSARS WITH SUZAKUHXDY

Thus the highly ionized plasma are thought to be generally associated with optically thick accretion disks. Huge outflow by the plasma has been confirmed by some of these objects, and thus such plasma is thought to have an important role on accretion flow. In order to establish generality of the plasma by detecting the absorption lines, and to distinguish whether creation mechanism of the plasma is determined by X-ray luminosity or there is another key parameter, we propose Suzaku observation of luminous persistent black hole binary LMC X-3, with exposure of 60ks. This observation will enable us to find critical parameters which determine the creation of the accretion disk wind.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CKUBOTAAYANULLNULLJAP3AO3SEARCH FOR IRON K ABSORPTION LINES FROM LMC X-3XISY

Winds from each star collide and produce strong changes in the X-ray spectrum and the production of thick dust shells. All the orbital and stellar parameters are measured, so WR 140 is the best shock-physics laboratory known.

Suzaku observations showed it emits three bright iron lines, with almost no emission in the 0.5-2 keV bandpass. The PI has an approved 100 ksec Chandra HETG observation in 2008 to determine the origin of the iron lines and measure any weak emission lines. With simultaneous Suzaku observations we will also measure the hard X-ray emission from the source, both to constrain the continuum and detect any non-thermal component. The effective areas of the XIS and HXD will constrain the broadband emission process much better than the HETG data. Combined with simultaneous optical observations of the Mira-type star we will determine the origin of this star's unusual emission.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ASMITHRANDALLNULLNULLUSA3AO3SIMULTANEOUS MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS OF THE SYMBIOTIC STAR SS73 17HXDY

However, their quiescent spectra are complicated due to the presence of an additional power-law, and because variability has been seen on timescales as short as 100s. The nearest known neutron star LMXB Cen X-4 gives us the clearest view of these objects. But, the best observation so far lacked the sensitivity to determine the cause of the variability. Yet, the cause has important ramifications for measuring neutron star radii - if it is the thermal (rather than power-law) component that is varying our picture of quiescent emission may be wrong.

To probe this requires accurate neutron star radii and masses. We recently showed that broad iron lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) constrain the neutron star radius. LMXBs also provide us with another tool, kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Combining the inner disk velocity (from modeling the iron line) and the frequency of the kHz QPOs gives a method to measure the neutron star mass. We propose a 100 ks observation of Cyg X-2 with Suzaku to provide a detailed iron line profile. Combined with simultaneous observations with RXTE to determine the kHz QPO frequency, we will measure the neutron star mass.

This state features a hard X-ray spectrum, a high level of timing noise, and emission from a steady jet at radio, IR, and perhaps higher frequencies. Along with our multi-wavelength, radio to X-ray, program, Suzaku observations can constrain theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet?

It revealed the existence of a highly-ionized atmosphere above the disk which is likely present in any LMXB but only detectable in the ones seen close to edge-on.

If the averaged IP spectrum shows any discrepancy with that of the GDXE, the "point-source origin" explanation for the GDXE would face a lack of appropriate hard X-ray source populations.

It is already known that there is a high energy cutoff at around 150 keV in the hard state of black hole candidates (BNCs). Additional non-thermal spectrum above 300 keV has sometimes been verified by gamma-ray observatories. Some NS binaries exhibit a 'hard state' which shows X-ray properties similar to those observed in hard state BHCs. Their cutoff energies (~50 keV) are systematically lower than those of BHCs, but firm detections of non-thermal emissions are not reported so far.

The Cosmic-ray origin is the long standing mystery for near 100 years. The first discovery of "the white dwarf pulsar" in the AE Aquarii system with Suzaku is one of the most important step in this study, because Suzaku demonstrated the possibility of particle acceleration in white dwarfs. The next important step is to search for the sign of non-thermal emission from a NORMAL white dwarf. Here, we propose the Suzaku observation of an isolated white dwarf EUVE J0317-85.5, which has very high magnetic field strength of 450 MG and very fast rotation period 725 sec among this type of objects.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BHARAYAMAATSUSHINULLNULLJAP4AO4FIRST SEARCH FOR NON THERMAL EMISSION FROM AN ISOLATED MAGNETIZED WHITE DWARFHXDY

We propose to observe this hard X-ray emission with Suzaku after the periastron passage in order to measure the intrinsic luminosity of the wind-wind shock to determine the density of the wind near the shock boundary, and to measure the absorbing column to indicate the density profile in the distorted wind of the primary star. In addition HXD observations will measure any excess emission up to energies of 40 keV to constrain the amount of particle acceleration in the shock by the first order Fermi process and to help resolve the discrepancy between published BeppoSAX and INTEGRAL measurements.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AHAMAGUCHIKENJINULLNULLUSA4AO4HARD X-RAY EMISSION, PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND MASS LOSS FROM ETA CARHXDY

We have now seen these lines in 10 neutron star LMXBs that we have examined, allowing measurements of the inner accretion disk radius, and hence an upper limit on the neutron star radius in all these objects. Only with the sensitivity of Suzaku, its high effective area in the Fe K band, and its broad bandpass has it been possible to robustly determine the shape of the lines. With a longer-term aim of completing a census of iron lines in neutron star LMXBs, we request a total of 200 ks to observe 5 neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries to study the relativistic broadening in the Fe Kalpha emission line profiles.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CCACKETTEDWARDNULLNULLUSA4AO4AN FE KALPHA EMISSION LINE SURVEY OF NEUTRON STAR LMXBSHXDY

One of the best laboratories for studying winds is in wind fed Supergiant High Mass X-ray binaries. Using the neutron star (NS) as a backlight, variable absorption in X-rays measures column density variations in the secondary star wind. A recent explosion in the number of known HMXBs has defined two additional subclasses of HMXBs, potentially related through geometry and wind properties: 1) heavily obscured sources and 2) so-called Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs). We propose observations of 2 obscured sgHMXBs and 2 SFXTs to monitor the column density. This will test wind models and probe whether these subclasses are related to one another and to classical HMXBs through wind parameters.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CMORRISDAVIDNULLNULLUSA4AO4PROBING DONOR STAR WIND STRUCTURE IN HMXBS THROUGH VARIABLE ABSORPTIONXISY

We will investigate the presence of X-ray narrow absorption features in the Suzaku spectra, which are a signature of a disk wind. Such features, identified with ions such as Fe XXV and Fe XXVI, have been observed in a number of LMXBs and give us information about the mass outflow rate and the launching mechanism of the wind. We will study the connection of the disk wind to the presence of radio jet emission with simultaneous radio observations. Finally, we will determine if the broad Fe emission line indicated by the XMM-Newton spectrum is relativistically broadened. Variability will be studied as a function of accretion rate in the two proposed observations.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BDIAZ TRIGOMARIANULLNULLEUR4AO4A STUDY OF THE DISK WIND-JET CONNECTION IN GX9+9 WITH MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONSHXDY

Among them, we propose Suzaku observations of five Intermediate Polars (IPs) which have no detailed follow-up spectroscopy in the hard X-ray band up to now. The wide-band energy coverage of Suzaku, therefore, is definitely useful to extract physical information from their spectra since, generally, the vFv spectrum of an IP peaks at E=20-50 keV and strong intrinsic absorption (nH=1E22-23 cm-2). By fitting the spectrum with our numerical model, we estimate a plasma temperature and an Fe abundance, and furthermore, a white dwarf mass which is one of the most basic and important parameter of a binary system.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CYUASATAKAYUKINULLNULLJAP5AO5ESTIMATE MASSES OF NEWLY-FOUND MAGNETIC WHITE DWARFS BASED ON HARD X-RAY CONTINUUM AND FE EMISSION LINESXISY

The empirical Lx-Lr relation (Benz-G"udel relation) and radio flux variation predict that this source can have a flare with a peak luminosity Lx=10^34 ergs s-1, seven orders of magnitude larger than that of the Sun, when it is just before the periastron passage. We will observe this target simultaneously with radio band using VLBI network. Our goal is (1) to test whether the gigantic flare is still on the empirical relation (2) to detect inpulsive non-thermal emission at the most powerful stellar flare (3) to establish unified view of stellar flare mechanism via the wide radio-X-ray band.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BTSUBOIYOHKONULLNULLJAP5AO5NON-THERMAL EMISSION AT THE MOST POWERFUL STELLAR FLAREXISY

This peculiar spectrum is seem to be common in all the magnetars, and we discovered the spectral evolution of magnetars. The remaining problem is to study the spectral difference between the active and quiescent states. Transient magnetar 1E 1547.0-540 was observed with Suzaku in 2009 January, and the extremely hard X-ray tail was detected up to 110 keV with photon index of 1.5, and it is appropriate to study the spectral change.

Suzaku XIS+HXD measurements of the hard continuum emission from the binary system allow us to investigate particle acceleration in a highly variable environment as a result of interactions between the relativistic wind of the pulsar and the circumstellar disk of the Be star.

PSR B1259-63 is a young radio pulsar orbiting around a B2e star with a highly eccentric 3.4 yr orbit. Suzaku XIS+HXD measurements of the hard continuum emission from the binary system allow us to investigate particle acceleration in a highly variable environment as a result of interactions between the relativistic wind of the pulsar and the circumstellar disk of the Be star.

Centered on Feb 4 2008, a dramatic increase in the X-ray flux was also observed. The lack of correlation between the X-ray flux and the torque applied to the neutron star before the transition, challenges our understanding of the physical mechanisms operating in this system. The main goal of this proposal is to look for changes in the long term flux behavior, energy spectra, pulse profile, line features and power spectra with the current evolution in 4U1626-67 s spin-up rate. In addition, we wish to determine whether the absence of the QPO observed just after the torque reversal persist.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AFINGERMARKNULLNULLUSA5AO5THE ACCRETING X-RAY PULSAR 4U 1626-67 AFTER A NEW TORQUE REVERSALXISY

However, we observed strong aperiodic variability in a series of pointed observations with the RXTE PCA, to the point of masking this 6.7 day period. Moreover, we have not detected a spin period, even though the accretor is most likely a neutron star. The strong variability is suggestive of accretion from a clumpy wind. We propose a 2-day Suzaku observation of this object (1) to search for unequivocal evidence for a neutron star, such as the spin period and cyclotron features; and (2) to measure the spectral shapes at different flux levels, to investigate the cause of the strong aperiodic variability.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CMUKAIKOJINULLNULLUSA5AO54U 1210-64: A HIGHLY VARIABLE X-RAY BINARYXISY

Under the commonly accepted interpretation, they can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry. In two of these systems, the inner radius of the accretion disk as inferred from the line profile appears to be consistent with the radius inferred from the frequency of the kHz QPOs. We have recently shown that simultaneous measurements of Fe lines and kHz QPOs in a NS-LMXB appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1728-34 with Suzaku five times for 20 ks, simultaneously with RXTE and ATCA. This program will allow us to study and compare the dynamics of the inner edge of the disk as inferred from the Fe line and the kHz QPOs, as well as the relation of both observables with the jet radio emission.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ALINARESMANUELNULLNULLUSA5AO5ACCRETION DISKS IN STRONG GRAVITY: FE LINES VS.

This state features a hard X-ray spectrum, a high level of timing noise, and emission from a steady jet at radio, IR, and perhaps higher frequencies. Along with radio observations, Suzaku is constraining theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet? Here, we propose to extend X-ray and radio studies of the hard state to low flux levels in order to answer these questions.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ATOMSICKJOHNNULLNULLUSA5AO5-TOOCONSTRAINING THE HARD STATE ACCRETION GEOMETRY FOR BLACK HOLE BINARIESXISY

The data will provide information about the structure and ionization state of the accreted medium, as well as of the geometry of the accretion column and the strength of the magnetic field. No high-resolution CCD spectra of this source have been published so far. The source shows flaring behavior, so the wind is expected to be strongly clumped, which could be probed by studying the evolution of N_H and the iron line with high time resolution.

The Fermi source has a candidate X-ray counterpart from Chandra data and its X-ray and Gamma-ray properties are consistent with known Gamma-ray pulsars. This system is likely in a low-mass X-ray binary system based on optical observations. Both X-ray and optical observations show clear variability. We propose to observe the Chandra source with Suzaku to search for the possible orbital period and to study its X-ray spectrum in detail.

In order to investigate whether this picture also applies to other LMXBs in the low/hard state, and to better constrain the accretion geometry in comparison with those of black hole binaries, we propose a 60 ksec Suzaku observation of the LMXB 4U 1812-12.

Our goal is to obtain, for the first time, a clear picture about X-ray populations in the bulge, by utilizing the fine Suzaku spectra together with optical identifications. This is a new step toward understanding the formation history of the bulge. Furthermore, because the luminosity range we observe corresponds to a "missing link" region ever studied for a neutron star or black-hole X-ray binary, our results are also unique to test accretion disk theories at intermediate mass accretion rates.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CMORIHIDEYUKINULLNULLJAP6AO6SPECTRAL STUDIES OF UNIDENTIFIED X-RAY SOURCES IN THE GALACTIC BULGEXISY

Magnetars are known for their unusually strong surface magnetic fields, up to 10^15 G. This proposal has two main observational goals. The first objective is to detect hard X-ray emission in magnetar burst spectra as seen in a previous SGR 0501+4516 burst spectrum. The second goal is to detect persistent emission in active phases. It is important to compare spectral characteristics in active phases with those in non-active phases.

Periodic minima in X-rays and other wavebands show it as an extremely eccentric binary with a massive companion. A surprising change in the X-ray emission during the January 2009 X-ray minimum probably indicates a large-scale variation in the LBV primary's mass loss rate.

This star is a prototype of the "Gamma Cas stars" class, whose nature is not yet understood. Earlier XMM-Newton and Swift BAT observations gave a hint of the presence of the hard X-ray emission above 10 keV. The broadband Suzaku spectrum will allow to establish its X-ray emission mechanism - non-thermal emission or reflection of thermal emission from a neutral surface. On this basis, we will be able to discriminate the mechanisms between the magnetic disk dynamo and the accretion on a compact star. These new data will be pivotal in solving the enigma of Gamma Cas and revealing the true nature of this astrophysically important object.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CHAMAGUCHIKENJINULLNULLUSA6AO6SUZAKU'S HARD LOOK AT GAMMA CASSIOPEIAEXISY

Our Suzaku Cycle 5 observation confirms it to be an absorbed hard X-ray source, powered by accretion. It is thus a nearby, lower accretion rate analogue of the hard X-ray bright symbiotic stars such as T CrB and CH Cyg. During Suzaku Cycle 6, 4 Dra is near apastron and near the inferior conjunction of the accreting white dwarf: both these should reduce the absorption due to the M giant, while absorption by the accretion flow near the white dwarf should remain roughly comparable. We therefore propose a second Suzaku observation of 4 Dra to constrain the relative contributions of these two X-ray absorbers, and to obtain a high signal-to-noise spectrum of a symbiotic star boundary layer near 1 keV.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CMUKAIKOJINULLNULLUSA6AO6A SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF 4 DRA NEAR INFERIOR CONJUNCTIONXISY

It raises a question about its binary evolution, since a slowly rotating NS orbiting an M-type giant is quite unique. As to its large variability, the popular clumpy wind model has not yet become a smoking-gun, and we propose an alternative hypothesis that the NS is a magnetar descendent captured by an M-type giant in their closer encounter. Known X-ray properties of 4U~1954+31 will be revisited in a view of gated accretion onto the strongly magnetized NS.

The hard X-rays of magnetars become weaker but harder for older objects.

We have recently shown that broad relativistic Fe emission lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries can be used to constrain the neutron star radius. These sources also provide another tool, kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Combining a measurement of the velocity of the gas in the inner disk (from the Fe line) and the frequency of the kHz QPOs provides a method to measure the neutron star mass if kHz QPOs originate at the inner disk. We propose 100 ksec observations of GX 349+2 and GX 17+2 to provide a detailed Fe line profile.

In the outbursts, they are considered to emanate disk winds, but observational evidence had been lacking. Recently, our Suzaku observation of Z Cam during a very transition from quiescence to an outburst revealed clear evidence of the disk wind for the first time, and we were able to study characteristics of the disk wind in detail. Z Cam in quiescence, however, has never been observed with high quality instruments. We, therefore, propose an observation of Z Cam in quiescence in order to study entire behavior of the disk wind throughout different phases, combining the existent Suzaku transition phase data and ASCA archival data taken in other phases.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CSAITOUKEINULLNULLJAP7AO7COMPREHENSIVE STUDY FOR THE DISK WIND OF THE DWARF NOVA Z CAM THROUGH OUTBURST CYCLES WITH AN OBSERVATION IN QUIESCENCEXISY

The current best explanation of its origin is inverse-Compton cooling of particles accelerated in the wind-wind collision shock, and if so this would be the first detection of non-thermal X-ray emission from any Wolf-Rayet system.

These are white dwarfs accreting from a giant mass donor, unlike the less common class of symbiotic X-ray binaries in which the accretor is a neutron star. The X-ray spectra of the white dwarf symbiotics can be used to constrain the white dwarf mass and accretion rate. Here we focus on one object, Hen 3-1591, which belongs to a rare subclass of d'-type yellow symbiotic, commonly thought to harbor a young white dwarf. Hen 3-1591 is the first of this subclass to show medium energy X-ray emission, and hence we propose a moderately deep Suzaku observation to characterize its white dwarf and the circum-binary environment.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BMUKAIKOJINULLNULLUSA7AO7THE X-RAY EMISSION OF THE YELLOW SYMBIOTIC STAR, HEN 3-1591XISY

Upcoming large-scale surveys will likely reveal many such objects, but to identify them it is crucial to fully understand their properties. X Per, the archetypal source of this class, at 1 kpc from Earth is ideal target for detailed studies. In spite of that X Per is still puzzling. With the proposed program we aim to study X Per in detail, constrain its X-ray spectrum also as a function of the spin phase.

The presence of a O-type star in this source, and the variable character of the signal suggested that the source is a new gamma-ray binary system. Since it is expected that X-rays in these sources has the synchrotron origin, detailed X-ray observations are very important for understanding of the processes occurring in the system. However, sensitive observations of source in the X-ray energy bands are still missing. Therefore, we propose to observe the source with Suzaku. Since a long observational campaign is planned for 2012 by the HESS collaboration, the obtained X-ray, together with TeV, data will allow a proper modeling of the physical processes behind the non-thermal emission in system.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BODAKAHIROKAZUTANAKATAKAAKIJUS7AO7X-RAY OBSERVATION OF GAMMA-RAY BINARY 1FGL J1018.6-5856XISY

V4641 Sgr has many unique charactersitics: 1)giant X-ray outbursts with fast rise and decay times, 2)violent variability in X-ray and optical bands, and 3)remarkable iron-K disk-line profiles in the X-ray spectrum. However, it is hardly understood due to the poor X-ray coverage which results from its short outburst duration and rapid intensity variations. Hence, we collaborate closely with VSNET, MAXI/GSC, Swift/XRT and Swift/BAT team for a rapid trigger. The moderate energy resolution and wideband energy coverage of Suzaku enable us to clarify the radiation mechanisms of V4641 Sgr.

Since the toroidal field is hidden in the stellar interior, it was thought to be undetectable via the well-known p-pdot method and the cyclotron resonance scattering features. However, a magnetic stress of the magnetar toroidal field is strong enough to distort the stellar shape and produce a free precession in its X-ray pulse timing if the emission pattern deviates from its axis of symmetry. From our analyses of magnetar 4U 0142+61, we found an evidence on the free precession in the hard X-ray component. To confirm and establish this evidence, we propose an additional 100 ks observation of 4U 0142+61.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AENOTOTERUAKINULLNULLJAP8AO8TOROIDAL FIELD INSIDE MAGNETARS OBSERVED WITH SUZAKU TIMING ANALYSES OF ITS FREE PRECESSIONXISY

Each proposed observation will take ~5 calendar days and cover a complete outburst cycle. The dense X-ray coverage of the early rise in particular will be unprecedented for any dwarf nova, which is essential to further our understanding of the response of the boundary layer to the increased mass flux from the Keplerian accretion disk. We will also determine whether X-ray flux increases or decreases during quiescence to test the disk instability model.

They are usually soft X-ray bright and hard X-ray dim, due to either buried shocks or strong cyclotron cooling, depending on system parameters. However, a small subset of polars have been detected as bright hard X-ray sources in INTEGRAL and Swift BAT surveys. As a part of an effort to understand the hard-to-soft X-ray luminosity ratios of polars in general, and specifically to understand what combination of parameters make some polars hard X-ray bright, we propose Suzaku observations of two poorly studied BAT polars, Swift J2319.4+2619 and IW Eri, supported by ground-based observations including optical polarimetry.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4CMUKAIKOJINULLNULLUSA8AO8THE HARD X-RAY BRIGHT POLARS SWIFT J2319.4+2619 AND IW ERIXISY

With the discovery that hard X-ray emission (E > 2 keV) is a common feature of WD symbiotics, that situation has finally changed. We propose to use Suzaku observations of 3 typical symbiotics with hard X-ray emission to test the hypothesis that such emission emanates from an accretion-disk boundary layer. With the proposed observations, we will determine whether the WD's magnetic field is high enough to disrupt the accretion flow, and estimate the WD mass and accretion rate.

Along with radio observations, Suzaku is constraining theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet? This proposal includes the use of Suzaku, NuSTAR, and radio observations to address these questions. A main diagnostic of the accretion geometry is the Compton reflection component, and the combination of Suzaku and NuSTAR covers, with very good energy resolution and sensitivity, the iron emission line, the absorption edges, and the hard X-ray reflection bump.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ATOMSICKJOHNNULLNULLUSA8AO8-TOOCONSTRAINING THE HARD STATE ACCRETION GEOMETRY FOR BLACK HOLE BINARIESXISY

It is famous for a variety of uncommon and puzzling periodic photometric and spectroscopic variabilities. Tovmassian, Zharikov & Neustroev (2007) proposed that the precession of a fast-rotating magnetically accreting white dwarf can successfully explain these phenomena. We request 62 ks observations of FS Aur to detect the magnetic WD, determine its spin period, confirm the flux and spectral variability with the precession period, inconclusively detected by Chandra and Swift, and thus to check the proposed model. The theory of compact objects predicts certain relations between the spin and precession periods, and our findings will provide a good test for the theory.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4BNEUSTROEVVITALYNULLNULLEUR8AO8PROBING THE PRECESSION OF WHITE DWARF IN CLOSE BINARY SYSTEMS - FS AURIGAEXISY

The source exhibits regular outbursts once per orbit. Several of these outbursts have been observed in the past showing that the spectral shape remains constant between outbursts. Since we were able to improve the orbital ephemeris it is possible to predict future outbursts of the source. The source is currently (MJD 56245) exhibiting a giant type II outburst showing that the companion has ejected large amounts of material. We therefore propose to observe the system after this outburst to check for spectral and temporal changes and to study the iron line complex to derive the amount and ionization state of the material.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4AKREYKENBOHMINGONULLNULLEUR8AO8MEASURING THE RESIDUAL MATERIAL IN GRO J1008&#8722;57 AFTER THE GIANT OUTBURSTXISY

Second, we found a surprising relation between two physical quantities of corona, which roughly shows a continuous change of relation between soft/hard states in contrast with a dramatic change of their spectra.

In mid-2012, we obtained a joint Suzaku/NuSTAR observation of Cyg X-1 in the soft state, and we clearly see reflection features with a relativistically broadened iron line that we have used to constrain the geometry of the accretion disk, including finding possible evidence for a warped accretion disk, and the black hole spin. This TOO proposal is to observe the source in the hard state to constrain how the accretion geometry changes between states. The combination of Suzaku and NuSTAR covers, with very good energy resolution and throughput, the thermal component, the iron line complex, the iron absorption edge, and the hard X-ray reflection hump.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ATOMSICKJOHNNULLNULLUSA9AO9-TOOCYGNUS X-1 IN THE HARD STATE WITH SUZAKU AND NUSTARXISY

Along with radio observations, Suzaku is constraining theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet? This proposal includes the use of Suzaku, NuSTAR, and radio observations to address these questions. A main diagnostic of the accretion geometry is the Compton reflection component, and the combination of Suzaku and NuSTAR covers, with very good energy resolution and sensitivity, the iron emission line, the absorption edges, and the hard X-ray reflection hump.GALACTIC POINT SOURCES4ATOMSICKJOHNNULLNULLUSA9AO9-TOOCONSTRAINING THE HARD STATE ACCRETION GEOMETRY FOR BLACK HOLE BINARIESXISY

SUZAKU data will allow to compare the X-ray spectra of these objects that have similar stellar and wind parameters yet different magnetospheres. These observations will result in the first firm X-ray detections of our target stars. The analysis of XIS spectra will determine the emission measures and the temperatures of the hot gas.

However the equation of state (EOS) in the WDs which determines the WD mass limit have not been cleared. Especially, a EOS involving Landau quantization allows WDs to exceed 1.4 solar mass and approach 3.3 solar mass. We will get observational relations between WD mass and radius for proposed targets with Suzaku. With WD masses dynamically measured, we can estimate the WD radii without any theoretical mass-radius relation.

However, such studies have not provided direct information on ``protons'', which is the major component of cosmic-rays. Here we propose to measure spatial distribution of accelerated protons in the shell of RCW 86, and its association with the high energy (>10 TeV) electrons which emit synchrotron X-rays up to 50 keV.

The LHB temperature is ~10^6 K, and in equilibrium we would expect no O VIII emission. However, the LHB is almost certainly not in equilibrium, and it is quite possible that significant O^{+7} is still recombining (and emitting O VIII) following its creation in the most recent local supernova 2-4 Myr ago. We propose to measure these lines from the LHB using the nearby molecular cloud MBM12 as a curtain to shadow more distant emission. Even if O VIII is not detected, the O VII measurement will be the first unambiguous measurement of a line from the LHB.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ASMITHRANDALLNULLNULLJAP0SWGDATING THE LOCAL HOT BUBBLE WITH SUZAKUXISN

Recent galactic plane survey in the TeV gamma-ray band reveals several new unidentified sources like HESS J1745-303. It is extended, hence likely a supernova remnant. Also it coincides with an EGRET unidentified source (3EG J1744-3011), which may suggest that it is a source of accelerated protons. However, HESS J1745-303 shows rather hard spectrum that cannot be explained by the simplest version of the diffusive shock acceleration model.

Hard X-ray continuum of RCW 86 is accompanied by Fe K line emission at 6.4keV. There is strong possibility that the origin of this line is electrons and protons accelerated in the shell of the SNR. In PV phase, the Southeast region of RCW 86 will be observed, and the density of this region is much larger than that of the Northwest region.

With the observations with Chandra and XMM, quite large ambiguity of ionization age for each element remains because of the limited energy resolution in the soft energy band. Utilizing the supreme energy resolution and background property of Suzaku/XIS, we propose the observation of the youngest type Ia SNR in the LMC, 0509-67.5. We correctly diagnose the NEI plasma of this SNR by determining the ionization age and electron temperature for each element component and constrain the ejecta structure of Type Ia SNR.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CNAKAJIMAHIROSHINULLNULLJAP1AO1NEI PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS OF A YOUNG TYPE IA SNR:0509-67.5XISN

These SMC SNRs are oldest members (18000 and 14000 yr old) of O-rich SNRs and share X-ray spectral characteristics with a young (1000 yr old) O-rich SNR 0102-7219 which is also in the SMC. While sharing similar spectral features with 0102-7219, the morphologies of 0103-72.6 and 0049-73.6 indicate more evolved phases of the SNR in a similar interstellar environment as 0102-7219. Cross-comparison studies with the high spectral resolution Suzaku/XIS observations among 0103-72.6/0049-73.6 (this proposal) and 0102-7219 (scheduled/observed for the instrument calibrations) will provide a unique opportunity for the study of a long-term evolution of an O-rich SNR.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5APARKSANGWOOKNULLNULLUSA1AO1BACK TO THE FUTURE: LONG-TERM EVOLUTION OF OXYGET-RICH SUPERNOVA REMNANTS IN THE SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUDXISN

Most SB models indicate that these objects should be dominated by thermal plasma processes. However, observations of 2 SBs have detected significant nonthermal contributions to their X-ray emission, which raises many questions. Is it generated by synchrotron, inverse-Compton, or nonthermal Bremsstrahlung processes? Are colliding stellar winds or internal supernova remnants responsible? We therefore propose to examine the X-ray emission from 4 X-ray bright SBs, to search for nonthermal X-ray emission, and if possible place strong constraints on the source of this emission.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CWILLIAMSROSANULLNULLUSA1AO1A SEARCH FOR NONTHERMAL X-RAY EMISSION FROM SUPERBUBBLESXISN

This line of sight was observed by XMM because the line of sight is particularly simple, allowing the isolation of the spectrum of the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). The XMM observation did not isolate the LHB, but did reveal the existance of a cool (kT~0.18 keV) X-ray emitting component between 200 and 2000 pcs away that was morphologically unidentifiable in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. This component may represent the gas responsible for the 3/4 keV "infill problem", and may represent a previously overlooked high filling factor component of the hot ISM.

A decomposition of the spectrum of the Galactic halo by Kuntz & Snowden showed that, to within the uncertainties of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, the halo emission was composed of two thermal components; a uniform hot component with kT~0.25 keV, and a very patchy soft component with kT~0.1 keV. The soft component is found in only a few isolated regions of the sky, of which the Draco Enhancement is the brightest. This emission is too soft to be studied with XMM.

The goal of that observation is to measure the O VII and O VIII emission from the Local Hot Bubble, taking advantage of Suzaku's low energy sensitivity and low background. In light of this, we propose to observe the diffuse background near the MBM 12 position. This will: (1) Measure the O VII and O VIII emission from the Galactic disk and halo, after subtracting the local emission, and (2) confirm that this background emission does not contaminate the initial observation.

So far no sensitive X-ray observations of this region have taken place. The synchrotron spectrum of the nebula is predicted to peak in the energy range of the Suzaku HXD.

However, all those samples are young SNRs (ages about 300-2000 yr). G156.2+5.7 is an old SNR (age about 10^4 year), but emits hard X-rays in addition to usual thin thermal emission (about 0.5 keV temperature). We propose a Suzaku observation on a center region of this SNR, where diffuse hard X-rays were detected with ASCA and XMM. Our primary objective is to determine whether or not the hard tail is synchrotron X-rays, and study cosmic-ray acceleration in this old SNR.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BUENOMASARUPETREROBERTJUS1AO1REVEALING THE ORIGIN OF HARD X-RAY EMISSION FROM AN OLD SNR, G156.2+5.7XISY

This region contains a supernova remnant (SNR), a massive molecular cloud, an HII region and diffuse TeV gamma-ray emission. The objectives are to detect Sgr D SNR and diffuse X-rays from the TeV source, to discover new SNRs and X-ray Reflection Nebulae (XRNe), and to investigate the spatial distribution of high temperature plasma connecting the Galactic center and the Galactic ridge regions.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5AKOYAMAKATSUJINULLNULLJAP2AO2OBSERVATIONS OF SGR D SNR, A TEV SOURCE AND DIFFUSE X-RAYSXISY

Absolute measurement of the O VII and O VIII line fluxes will help establish the origin of this mysterious component of the diffuse background. This will allow a search for spectral signatures of non-thermal emission, i.e. charge- exchange emission, in the 3/4 keV band and the determination of abundances in hot gas thermal emission without risk of confusion by emission from hot gas in the Galactic Bulge.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BMASUIKENSUKENULLNULLJAP2AO2SOFT X-RAY DIFFUSE EMISSION FROM THE GALACTIC DISKXISY

The comparison of Suzaku and VLA 90cm images show a hit for special correlation, suggest a magnetic confinement of GCDX. Thus, in order to search for new SNRs and investigate the galactic latitude dependency of the GCDX, we make a GC observation with the aiming point of (l,b)=(0.25, -0.27).

Suzaku PV spectrum revealed ionization parameter of the plasma is significantly low. We investigated the spatial variation of the ionization parameter, and found the outer region of SN1006 has lower ionization parameter than the inner region. However, since the center region of SN1006 is placed on the edge of FOV in the PV observation, the spectra have poor statistics, and the ionization state and the metal abundance cannot be decided with good precision.

This suggests that the major part of the emission is originating from the halo of our galaxy. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the data is contaminated by solar wind charge exchange emission from the entire heliosphere. In oder to confirm the abs(b) dependency and to constrain the spatial distribution of the halo emission, we propose to observe diffuse radiation at a low galactic latitude of abs(b) ~ 20 deg, where the galactic absorption still does not affect the line intensity significantly.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BYOSHINOTOMOTAKANULLNULLJAP2AO2SOFT X-RAY DIFFUSE EMISSION AT A LOW GALACTIC LATITUDEXISY

An extended (~2') hard x-ray emission, presumably of non-thermal origin, was detected with Chandra from a position ~6' toward north east of its center. However, the Chandra ACIS spectrum does not allow us to determine with confidence whether it is a non-thermal emission or a high temperature thermal source. Utilizing the high sensitivity of the XIS, we try to distinguish between these two cases. If confirmed, the result may provide valuable information on particle acceleration in non-relativistic shocks, with potential relations the galactic-ridge x-ray emission.

They must be powerful cosmic-ray accelerators, although their origin is still unknown due to the lack of information in other wavelengths. We investigate one of the most mysterious sample, HESS J1702-420, which has the brightest HESS compact source without clear counterparts. ASCA Galactic plane survey shows no evidence of X-ray emission although the exposure was too short. With the large effective area and the low background of XISs, we will be able to detect quite dim counterpart or make strong upper-limit in the hard X-ray band. This result will lead us to distinguish that HESS J1702-420 is the true "dark" protonic accelerator, or a hypothetical PWN powered by PSR J1702-4128.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BBAMBAAYANULLNULLJAP2AO2RESOLVING THE DARKEST DARK PARTICLE ACCELERATORXISY

The most plausible energy injection source is multiple SNe. The huge thermal energy (10^54 ergs) and short timescale (10^5 yr) of the hot plasma suggest that the GC region harbors at least 10 young SNRs. To confirm this scenario, we propose to observe the shell of G0.9+0.1 and the connecting region of Sgr B and D.

The ROSAT 3/4 keV band all sky map does not show significant dip in intensity at galactic plane, where the CXB component is totally absorbed by galactic absorption. Thus unknown emission must be compensating the CXB component in this energy band.

Thus, we are considering that the chimney is a blowout from super bubble in the Sgr C region. Another possible scenario is that the chimney would be a part of a shell structure formed by explosions (starburst activities, Sgr A*, magnetic reconnection) in the region of Sgr A and Sgr C.

Recently, the Spitzer Space Telescope discovered moving structures nearly at the speed of light outside the shell of the SNR. These structures are likely infrared echoes, where interstellar dust is heated by the outward moving photon shell of a bright flash. The bright flash is probably due to a giant flare from the central point source of Cas A, and if so, it requires that the central point source is a magnetar. Magnetars are known to emit luminous flares in the X-ray band, so it is expected that we can detect Fe-K fluorescence emission accompanied by IR echo. Here, we propose to observe on IR-emitting cloud around Cas A for 30ks to search for Fe-K emission which is naturally expected if the central point source is a magnetar.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CAONOHIROYUKINULLNULLJAP3AO3INVESTIGATION OF A X-RAY ECHO NEAR THE SUPERNOVA REMNANT CASSIOPEIA AXISY

Then with ASCA, we found that the spectrum exhibits thin thermal emission accompanied with a hard tail which may be nonthermal radiation from high energy electrons. These results imply presence of a strong shock in this region, possibly due to a jet from Sgr A*. The diffuse emission may be a fossil of the past activities.

The feature is arc-shaped, suspiciously like the edge of a hot bubble. We propose to make Suzaku observations of the arc and nearby background.

The classification as a VHE Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) was confirmed by observations of the region with XMM-Newton and Suzaku. XMM showed a compact X-ray PWN around the pulsar, whereas Suzaku revealed low surface brightness emission close to the VHE source. To morphologically connect this low surface brightness emission to the X-ray PWN, we propose another short, 20 ksec Suzaku pointing, aiming between the VHE source center and the pulsar location. The data will allow to identify the new Suzaku source with the compact X-ray PWN. The spectra will be used to investigate the unusual particle energy distribution that is derived from the hard VHE spectrum.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5APUEHLHOFERGERDNULLNULLEUR3AO3SUZAKU OBSERVATIONS OF THE LOW SURFACE BRIGHTNESS X-RAY PULSAR WIND NEBULA CANDIDATE ASSOCIATED WITH HESS J1718-385XISY

It could be true for some sources like HESS J1825-137, while other PWN candidates are sometimes listed simply because they satisfy one or two of the necessary conditions (e.g., there is an energetic pulsar nearby). We then propose a Suzaku observation of HESS J1427-608, which is the most ``unlike'' HESS-unID source to be a PWN. The advantage that we can safely exclude a PWN for its candidate allows us to identify the emission mechanism/origin of HESS J1427-608 more unambiguously compared to other unID sources.

In order to reveal whether it is a remnant of Type Ia supernova or not, detailed measurement of the rare metal elements such as Cr, Mn, Ni, and Ti is essential. We determine the type by Ti to Cr, Mn to Cr, and Ni to Fe ratios.

It has a polarized non-thermal radio spectrum. t has very unique morphology of elongated and loop-like structure. However, no crucial observational result determining the nature has been obtained. With the Suzaku AO3 observation of the Tornado (50ks), we found interesting signs of 2.45-keV He like S-K line, diffuse emission from the "tail" and the whole "head". The purpose of this observation is to obtain precise spectrum and spatial distribution. If the thermal S-K line is confirmed and it has a high metal abundance, the nature of the Tornado is an SNR. We also investigate the extreme structure of the tail and search for power-law component in spectra.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ATSURUTAKESHINULLNULLJAP4AO4REVEALING THE UNUSUAL SOURCE, THE NATURE OF THE "TORNADO", IN THE GALACTIC CENTER REGIONXISY

However, there is a young energetic pulsar PSRJ1617-5055 10 arcmin away from HESSJ1616, and another possibility has been proposed that HESSJ1616 is an offset pulsar wind nebula (PWN) driven by the pulsar. If this possibility is correct, a powerful X-ray PWN should be observed as HESSJ1825-137, but such PWN has not been reported. The lack of the detection may be due to small sensitivity of Chandra and XMM-Newton for a diffuse hard X-ray emission. We propose to observe PSRJ1617 to see if there is an extended PWN around this pulsar.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5AMATSUMOTOHIRONORINULLNULLJAP4AO4IS THE MOST ENERGETIC UNIDENTIFIED TEV OBJECT HESSJ1616-508 A PULSAR WIND NEBULA?XISY

However, the spatial extent and thus the nature of the absorbing warm-hot gas are yet unknown; it can be from 1 Mpc scale WHIM (Warm-hot intergalactic medium) to a few kpc scale galactic wind. We propose to observe the very vicinity of the AGN to determine the OVII and OVIII emission line intensities and the temperature of the warm-hot gas.

Based on our recent observations with the Suzaku XIS, we found an indication of correlation between the X-ray hard-tail emission and radio emission. In addition, we confirmed the existence of metal-rich ejecta in the central portion, but found no evidence of ejecta in the rim regions. To investigate the correlation between the X-ray hard-tail emission and the radio emission, and the distributions of the X-ray emitting ejecta in this SNR, we propose to extend our observations with the Suzaku XIS.

This new phenomenon (the RRC) would be due to either pre-ionization by X-ray flash of gamma-ray burst, or adiabatic cooling in a rarefied ambient medium, or yet-unknown process. In any case, the RRC have essential and new clues for the mechanisms, evolution and/or even the cosmic-ray acceleration of IC443. Spectra of the rim regions provide key information for the RRC origin.

Past X-ray flares of Sgr A* likely produced the FeI 6.4 keV emission in the MCs (XRN: X-ray Reflection Nebulae). In Sgr C, the XRN have been solely found in one of the velocity zones. We hence propose to find new XRN in the other velocity zone, which is possibly located at the different distance from the known XRN. With the Suzaku observation, we will determine the 3-dimensional positions of the XRN. Since the presence (or absence) of the XRN largely depends on the epoch of the Sgr A* flares and the 3-dimensional positions of the MCs, Sgr C is a "Rosetta Stone" of the origin and production of the XRN.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ANOBUKAWAMASAYOSHINULLNULLJAP5AO5THE SAGITTARIUS C COMPLEX A ROSETTA STONE OF THE PAST ACTIVITY OF SAGITTARIUS A*XISY

By observing two brightest SBs (DEM L 86 and DEM L 199) in the LMC, we investigate the universality of particle acceleration in SBs, and make the conclusion if SBs are the primary acceleration cites of the galactic cosmic rays.

By observing two brightest SBs (DEM L 86 and DEM L 199) in the LMC, we investigate the universality of particle acceleration in SBs, and make the conclusion if SBs are the primary acceleration cites of the galactic cosmic rays.

This uncertainty results from the lack of remnants with synchrotron X-ray and GeV emission, needed to distinguish accelerated electrons from protons using broadband spectral modeling. An analysis of recent XMM and Fermi data suggests SNR G304.6+0.1 is just the third remnant with both, but the observed hard X-ray excess is also consistent with bremsstrahlung emission. We request a deep Suzaku observation of this source to determine the nature of its hard X-ray emission - critical for identifying the underlying acceleration mechanism.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BGELFANDJOSEPHNULLNULLUSA5AO5THE ORIGIN OF THE HARD X-RAY AND GEV GAMMA-RAY EMISSION OF SNR G304.6+0.1XISY

The Carinae Nebula is the best region to study their origin with 10-100 times more luminous soft X-rays than any other giant HII regions in our Galaxy. X-ray observations especially with Suzaku revealed that a part, or all, of the diffuse plasma would heat up by earlier supernova explosions, but it is unknown when these explosions occurred and how they made the current X-ray nebula. The Chandra Carina Complex Project displayed that the southern part of the nebula emits strong hydrogen-like oxygen line. We will measure helium-like oxygen line with Suzaku to measure its plasma temperature and abundance to help understand relation with plasma in the nebula center.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CHAMAGUCHIKENJINULLNULLUSA5AO5SOUTHERN PART OF DIFFUSE PLASMA IN THE CARINA NEBULA - RICH IN OXYGEN?XISY

We propose to observe the non-thermal X-ray source AX J1714.1-3912 to investigate its relationship with the SNR RX J1713.7-3946. ASCA observations have shown that the hard spectrum of the source may be associated with bremsstrahlung emission from particles accelerated in the SNR and diffusing in a nearby molecular cloud. This emission has never been observed in other SNRs. However, the association of the source with the remnant is still controversial and the ASCA data do not allow us to constrain the spectral properties.

Very recently, synchrotron emission has been discovered with the VLA radio observation from a bow shock region of a runaway star, BD+43 3654, having a very fast stellar wind whose velocity reaches up to 2300 km/s. The maximum energy is estimated to be about 10 TeV, and thus the emission should come to the X-ray band. Here, we propose to perform the 100 ksec observation of BD+43 3654 with Suzaku, in order to determine the strength of the shock from the temperature of the post-shock plasma and to determine the maximum energy of the accelerated electrons.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ATERADAYUKIKATSUNULLNULLJAP6AO6SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF NON-THERMAL EMISSION FROM A BOW SHOCK REGION OF A RUNAWAY STAR, BD+43 3654XISY

Based on our previous observations, the shell region shows relatively low temperature with low metal abundance. The interior shows high temperature with high metal abundance. The plasma in the interior is the fossil of the progenitor star. Its abundance non-uniformity indicates the asymmetric explosion. There are two blow-out features: a south-break with one degree diameter and a west-break with half degree diameter. The west-break shows a half-moon shape indicating a rapid expansion in a tenuous plasma. We propose to observe the west-break with SUZAKU for 100 ksec.

The pair is in the primary stage of merging, then we need to obtain the information of the gas outside region to clarify the process of the merging.

Recently, GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission have been detected from the eastern edge of W28. On the other hand, we have observed the central region of W28 and have detected an over-ionized plasma, which can not be produced in the canonical evolution of SNRs. Several SNRs have been turned out to host a over-ionized plasma. All of them are MM SNR and are showing GeV and/or TeV emission. This indicates that there are some physical connections between the existence of high-energy cosmic rays and over-ionized plasma. W28 is the best place to study this possible connection due to the large apparent size. Thus, we propose Suzaku observation of western region of W28, which has not been covered by the previous mapping observations.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ASAWADAMAKOTONULLNULLJAP6AO6THE SNR W28 - SEARCHING FOR THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN HIGH-ENERGY COSMIC RAYS AND OVER-IONIZED PLASMAXISY

Spectral analysis will allow us to determine or estimate shock speed, age, ambient density, and swept-up mass. As more middle-aged remnants are found to have unusual properties such as GeV-TeV emission, the study of objects like G18.8+0.3 assumes greater importance.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CREYNOLDSSTEPHENNULLNULLUSA6AO6G18.8+0.3: A SUPERNOVA REMNANT WITH STRONG MOLECULAR INTERACTIONXISY

We propose a long observation of one of the least well-studied Fe-rich Galactic SNRs, G352.7-0.1, with the goal of characterizing the Fe emission, confirming its likely identification as the remnant of a Type Ia supernova, and constraining the properties of ejected material and the dynamics of the explosion. Its thermal X-ray spectrum is strikingly similar to Tycho's SNR, but unexpectedly X-rays are uniformly distributed throughout the remnant. Our proposed observation will produce high-quality spectra, adequate for detailed studies with some spatial information, that will greatly aid in understanding of this very interesting young remnant.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CBORKOWSKIKAZIMIERZNULLNULLUSA6AO6STRONG IRON EMISSION IN THE SUPERNOVA REMNANT G352.7-0.1XISY

One of these shrapnel (A) is distinct from the others in that its X-ray spectrum exhibits a high Si abundance, while the other shrapnel exhibit enhanced O, Ne, and Mg abundances. One unexplored ejecta shrapnel (G) is located on the opposite side of the remnant from shrapnel A, suggesting that the SN explosion may have resulted in a jet-counterjet Si-rich structure, reminiscent of Cas A. We propose to observe this shrapnel for the first time to determine if it is also Si-rich like shrapnel A. If this is the case, the Vela SNR may be the first direct evidence of a jet-induced SN explosion.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ABOCCHINOFABRIZIONULLNULLEUR6AO6ASYMMETRIC SN EXPLOSION IN VELA SNRXISY

Especially TeV pulsar wind nebulae are supposed to have a largely extended X-ray emission.

The aim of the observation is to clarify whether the TeV gamma-ray emission is of a leptonic or hadronic origin by searching for an X-ray counterpart to a level down to $10^{-14}$~erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. A non-detection of an X-ray nebula would strongly disfavor a leptonic origin of the TeV emission and add to the already strong multi-wavelength data which all suggests a hadronic origin of the emission. Since the spectrum of this unique source extends above many tens of TeV this would mean that we see, for the first time, evidence for hadronic cosmic rays being accelerated up to PeV energies.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5BODAKAHIROKAZUNULLNULLJAP7AO7INVESTIGATING A PUTATIVE COSMIC-RAY PEVATRON WITH SUZAKUXISY

Measuring these fluctuations is a good test to check the scenarios of point sources and star flare for the GRXE origin. Combined with archival data of XMM-Newton, 200 ks observation of Suzaku makes us able to detect the fluctuations lager than 3% of the GRXE flux.

Since the standard evolution of SNR does not predict RP, the Suzaku discovery requires a dramatic change on the scenario of SNR dynamics and evolution. Suggestive facts are that all RP detected SNRs have OH masers and all RP-detected SNRs have TeV/GeV emissions. The most important issue at this stage, however, is not model making, but systematic and comprehensive observations to study which kind of SNRs, and/or which circum SN conditions, are responsible to RP.

Using Suzaku, we have found that Sgr A* had been in the active phase for almost a thousand years and dropped down to the quiescent level tens of years ago. However, no detailed information during the active phase and transition has been obtained from observations to study a mechanism of the sudden phase change.

Suzaku XIS is the most suitable detector since it has the large effective area even in the hard band up to 10 keV.

These are rare emission regions, occurring in fewer than 1% of the fields and they are not due to known extended emission regions (SNR, galaxy clusters, etc.). These emission anomalies probably signify locations of unusual physics, such as shocks, conductive heating, or local heat injection.

Recently we have discovered recombining plasma from MM SNRs. The existence of recombining plasma implies rapid cooling process in past. Recombining plasma, together with the peculiar morphologies, would indicate a new SNR evolution scenario. Our systematic analysis of recombining SNRs shows that the recombination ages are almost the same, although their dynamical ages range over an order of magnitude. Such a trend can be explained by past rapid rarefaction. This hypothesis can be tested by measuring a recombination age of a dynamically young recombining SNR. We thus propose a 100-ks Suzaku observation of G306.3-0.9, a candidate of the youngest recombining SNR ever.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5ASAWADAMAKOTOReynolds,MatsumuraNULLJUS9AO9THE DYNAMICS OF MIXED-MORPHOLOGY SNRS PROBED BY THE YOUNGEST RECOMBINING PLASMAXISY

Our proposed Suzaku observation of this SNR will investigate the putative overabundances of such elements as magnesium, silicon and sulfur (as reported in a previous analysis of an ASCA observation of W63) as well as search for evidence of over-ionization conditions in the X-ray emitting plasma, as has been reported for other MMSNRs.GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION5CPANNUTITHOMASNULLNULLUSA10AO10A SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF THE GALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANT W63 (G82.2+5.3)XISY

MCG -5-23-16 has one of the best known examples of a relativistically broadened iron K line. With a Swift-BAT flux of 1.6e-10 cgs (15-100 keV), it is one of the brightest AGN above 10 keV. The simultaneous observations will allow us to determine the shape of the broad relativistic Fe line after subtracting the narrow line components measured by HETG. Importantly, Suzaku's wide bandpass will accurately measure the broad-band continuum and reflection component of MCG -5-23-16, essential for constraining the broad iron line.

Previous XMM-Newton and Chandra observation claimed both blue-shifted (0.1c) and redshifted (0.26c-0.40c) iron Kalpha absorption lines. The redshifted iron K lines may originate from matter falling onto the supermassive black hole. The high effective area and low background of Suzaku XIS above 5 keV will enable us to measure these relativistically shifted iron lines in PG 1211+143 with great accuracy. Constraining the time variability of the lines will allow us to determine the physical origins of the absorption, e.g. failed jet/outflow or gravitational redshift from a Kerr black hole.

Both objects show extremely hard X-ray spectra, with photon indices about 1.3. The blazar 1510-089 ($z = 0.361$) is among a few OVV quasars showing prominent soft X-ray excess. The blazar 0836+710 ($z = 2.172)$ is the brightest X-ray source among the high redshift ($z>2$) quasars, and its very hard X-ray spectrum extends down to soft X-rays. Studying spectral shape and variability in the soft X-ray band relative to variability in the mid X-ray and optical bands can help to reveal nature of the soft X-ray excess of unknown origin, and multifrequency variability studies can provide constraints on the structure of jets on subparsec scales.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AMADEJSKIGREGNULLNULLJAP0SWGTESTING THE SHOCK-IN-JET MODEL FOR NONTHERMAL FLARES IN BLAZARS VIA SUZAKU OBSERVATIONSHXDN

In addition, Suzaku HXD will detect the significant fraction of hard power law emission in the 10-60 keV band for the first time.

This RQQ had a power-law spectrum with a photon index ~ 1 with our ASCA observation. We also found a spectral variability over the time scale of years, from ~ 2.2 during the ROSAT All Sky Survey to ~ 1 during the Einstein / ASCA observations. From our ASCA spectra, we couldn't discriminate whether the apparently unusual hard spectrum was caused by warm absorber, Compton reflection, or a simple featureless power-law continuum. High quality and wide-band spectroscopy with Suzaku is essential to unveil the physical nature of the enigmatic hardness and spectral variability of Kaz 102.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BISHISAKIYOSHITAKANULLNULLJAP1AO1WHAT IS THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF KAZ 102: AN ENIGMATIC X-RAY HARD RADIO QUIET QSO?HXDN

None are present in our Galaxy, and their nature is unknown. They may be accreting black holes, however, this is quite controversial and it is contrary to theoretical expectations. The distance is too large to make accurate studies of any of them that could reveal their nature. Luckily, there is one such very luminous source, Bo 375, in a globular cluster in M31.

Previous observations show a complex iron line and weak or no Compton reflection. However the iron line and reflection hump are poorly constrained, so the line emitting matter could arise from a truncated disk, BLR or a Compton-thin torus. A high quality Suzaku observation will constrain the iron line profile, resolve the ionized emission and unambiguously determine its origin. Using the unique broad bandpass of Suzaku above 10 keV we will place tight constraints on any reflection hump, enabling us to determine if the iron line originates from a truncated disk. This could provide a direct test of the paradigm that the X-ray emission in low accretion rate AGN occurs in a truncated disk system such as an ADAF.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BREEVESJAMESNULLNULLUSA1AO1DOES THE LOW LUMINOSITY AGN NGC7213 CONTAIN A TRUNCATED ACCRETION DISK?XISY

Both sources show a broad Fe K line and a strong soft excess. One appealing explanation for the nature of the soft excess is reflection. Fundamental to this hypothesis is the assumption that the same self-consistent reflection spectrum explains the Fe K line (including its shape), the soft excess, and also the Compton reflection hump above 20 keV. Suzaku's ability to measure all three reflection components simultaneously enables the different spectral models to be disentangled and reflection to be strongly tested.

Absorption due to photo-ionized material in the line of sight is well-established in this source, but can lead to degeneracy during modeling: is 3-6 keV continuum curvature due to photo-ionized absorption or a relativistically broad Fe K component? The simultaneous broadband XIS/HXD coverage is needed to define the continuum emission over a wide bandpass and disentangle the various emitting and absorbing components.

A previous XMM-Newton observation revealed the presence of a strong iron emission line and a flat continuum, both suggesting that this source hosts a Compton-thick AGN. In this scenario, the 2-10 keV luminosity of IRAS19254-7245 could be greater than 10e44 erg/s. However since no direct continuum is visible in the XMM bandpass, a direct measure of the absorbing column density was not feasible, thus the intrinsic X-ray luminosity of this source was derived only through indirect arguments. The unique bandpass and sensititvity of Suzaku above 10 keV will allow us to confirm the Compton-thick nature of this source and to measure for the first time the intrinsic X-ray luminosity of the AGN hosted in IRAS 19254-7245.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CBRAITOVALENTINANULLNULLUSA1AO1ASSESSING THE ENERGETIC BUDGET IN THE SUPERANTENNAEXISN

The ultimate nuclear power source, be it AGN or compact starburst, of ULIRGs has been the focus of much debate since their discovery with the IRAS mission. While observations with Spitzer are unlocking the secrets of many nearby ULIRGs, some have nuclei that are apparently so obscured as to be optically thick even in the mid-IR. We have chosen three local ULIRGs, IRAS 08572+3915, IRAS15250+3609, and IRAS20551-4250 that are IR-bright, yet highly obscured for deep Suzaku observations to search for the tell-tale signs of a buried AGN: hard X-ray emission behind significant column densities of HI gas.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AGALLAGHERSARAHNULLNULLUSA1AO1ULTRAHARD X-RAY CASE STUDIES OF ULIRGS WITH DEEP SILICATE ABSORPTIONHXDN

In the X-ray band, PDS 456 shows a deep iron K absorption trough. One possibility is that the absorption arises from a massive 0.1c outflow, of column density 10^24 cm^-2. Such an outflow would represent a significant fraction of the quasar energy budget. A deep Suzaku observation is proposed to test this outflow model, in particular the high energy bandpass of Suzaku is essential for measuring the profile of the absorption feature and determining the kinematics of the outflow. It is also possible to differentiate between competing models for the iron K feature, most notably between an outflow and a strong reflection component from the innermost radii around a Kerr black hole.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AREEVESJAMESNULLNULLUSA1AO1SOLVING THE ORIGIN OF THE DEEP IRON K ABSORPTION IN PDS 456XISY

In the theoretical view, strong magnetic field (u_B >> u_e) is necessary to produce such outflows with baryonic matters, but observations favor opposite scenario, namely particle dominated (u_e >> u_B), leptonic jet. Such discrepancies can be resolved if moderate numbers of protons (n_e/n_p > 50) are mixed in the non-tnermal pair populations. This can be easily tested if we can observe characteristic "soft X-ray bump" produced by the bulk-Comptonization of UV photons emitted from an accretion disk. We propose a deep observation (40ksec x3) of an EGRET quasar PKS 1510-089, which shows a clear sign of soft X-ray bump in BeppoSAX, ROSAT and ASCA observations.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BKATAOKAJUNMADEJSKIGRZEGORZJUS1AO1DIRECT TESTING THE JET COMPOSITION IN A POWERFUL EGRET QUASAR PKS 1510-089XISN

To achieve accurate modeling of the broad Fe line, Suzaku's broad bandpass is required to deconvolve the broadband emitting component and accurately constrain the continuum. NGC 4593 is one of the few Seyferts to also show evidence for Fe XXVI emission at 6.9 keV; we will use the XIS to confirm the line and constrain its origin.

Models featuring either complex absorption or blurred disk spectra provide equally good parameterizations of the mean X-ray spectrum of many objects. To make progress with current instruments we require observations with a temporal baseline and flux that will allow us to look for key parameter correlations, as the two scenarios predict different time-dependent behavior. To that end, we propose a Suzaku observation of 1H0419-577, a target that exhibits a remarkable degree of spectral variability in the X-ray regime promising some definitive results in this important area.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BTURNERTRACEYNULLNULLUSA2AO2HOW IMPORTANT IS STRONG RELATIVISTIC BLURRING IN SPECTRA OF SEYFERT GALAXIES?XISY

Simultaneously, the XIS and HXD spectra will study changes or lack thereof in the reflection components (narrow Fe-K, Compton Hump), again delimiting their location and choosing among models. The summed spectrum will determine the high energy continuum break, any broad Fe-K or high ionization edge.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AELVISMARTINNULLNULLUSA2AO2NGC5548 MONITORING: KEY TO AGN STRUCTURE AND COSMIC FEEDBACKXISY

This galaxy have a unique set of properties: FeXXV and FeXXVI Kalpha and Kbeta absorption lines (the highest S/N detection so far among AGNs), rapidly varying cold absorber (nH variations of ~10^23/cm^2 in a few hours, changes from Compton-thick to Compton-thin in two days), a relativistic iron emission line. This new long observation will use at best the unique capabilities of Suzaku to constrain the dimensions of the absorbers, and, for the first time, will investigate the dynamics and physical conditions of the hot absorber responsible of the iron absorption lines. It is likely that an occultation will occur during the observation.

Evidence for such components in radio-loud AGN is, instead, rare. And yet, presence of an ionized, scattering medium is postulated by unification models for these sources, and some models for jet formation. Here we tackle this problem by proposing sensitive Suzaku observations of 3C445, the only Broad-Line Radio Galaxy exhibiting soft X-ray emission lines from 0.4-3 keV in an archival EPIC spectrum. We will: 1) Determine the broad-band continuum; 2) Study the properties of the soft emission lines, determining the gas density and location, and thus its role in jet collimation; and 3) Confirm the strong reflection component suggested by EPIC.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ASAMBRUNARITANULLNULLUSA2AO2WARM GAS IN THE INNER REGIONS OF RADIO-LOUD AGN: THE CASE OF 3C445XISY

A previous 35 ks XMM-Newton observation of 4C+74.26 yielded the first indication of a relativistically broadened Fe K line in a radio-loud AGN as well as other typical AGN properties (e.g., a warm absorber). The long observation proposed here will allow a detailed investigation of the Fe K line profile and improve significantly on the previous observation by detecting the associated Compton reflection hump with the HXD/PIN instrument. Modeling of these features will allow the first accurate determination of the geometry and structure of the inner accretion disk in a radio-loud AGN, and hence provide invaluable information for modeling the physics of the disk/jet interaction.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CBALLANTYNEDAVIDNULLNULLUSA2AO2A CLOSE LOOK AT 4C+74.26 WITH SUZAKU: FOCUSING IN ON THE DISK/JET INTERACTIONHXDY

Our understanding of jet production remains elusive, however, because we cannot image the accretion flow. Fortunately, the Fe K line offers a direct probe of accretion. As part of a multi-mission monitoring program of the radio loud AGN NGC 1052, we propose two 100 ksec Suzaku observations to obtain best-quality X-ray spectra at two epochs to determine the true continuum shape and thus probe the relativistic iron line, determine line and continuum variability patterns and possibly investigate how the structure of the accretion disk changes when there are jet ejection events.

The source exhibits a Seyfert-like X-ray spectrum when the luminosity is low but is dominated by emission from the jet in a high state. Suzaku will be able to measure the broadband spectrum, especially X-ray reprocessed features, with greater sensitivity than ever before. Decoupling and monitoring of the disk and jet components will enable detailed spectroscopy to help understand the disk-jet connection and the wider implications for AGN physics in general. The target is bright and well-suited because for most AGN either the disk or jet component dominates. For this pilot study we propose two 50 ks observations, one in each visibility window. The science goals cannot be achieved with existing data or other missions.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CYAQOOBTAHIRNULLNULLUSA2AO2EXPLORING THE ACCRETION DISK AND JET CONNECTION IN 3C 273 WITH SUZAKUHXDY

Suzaku is unique for this task, because thanks to its broad band it may probe column densities up to several times 10^24 cm^-2 in this source, which has never been observed above 10 keV.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BMATTGIORGIONULLNULLEUR2AO2THE NATURE OF THE VARIATIONS OF STATE IN THE PHOENIX GALAXYHXDY

Suzaku provides a unique opportunity to perform this kind of analysis, thanks to its broadband coverage. Moreover, the proposed observation will provide an extremely good spectrum, which will allow us to measure the iron line width, its Compton Shoulder and the ionization stage of iron.

Our proposed observations are sensitive enough to identify luminous AGN activity (L_X=3x10^{43} erg/s) out to ~40keV, to accurately quantify the properties of less luminous AGN activity, and to identify and quantify the star-formation activity.

At low flux levels their 2-10~keV spectra are hard, with a huge excess at lower energies. Conversely, at high fluxes, the same objects show a soft 2-10 keV spectrum, with moderate soft excess. This behaviour can be explained either by reflection or absorption models. It is important to distinguish between these scenarios as they imply critical differences in the inferred physics of the accretion flow. There is already good Suzaku data on the hard 2-10 keV spectra from a GT observation of NGC4051. We propose to compare this with 100ks of data from Akn564, the brightest NLS1 at 10keV having a soft 2-10keV spectrum, so as to use the full range of spectral behaviour seen in NLS1's to determine the origin of the soft excess.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ADONECHRISNULLNULLEUR2AO2UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF SPECTRAL COMPLEXITY IN NLS1: AKN564HXDY

Previous observations show evidence for reflection from highly ionized matter, absorption features in the 8-10 keV band, and a possible roll-over of the continuum spectrum at around 30 keV. The observation goal is to elucidate the continuum roll-over and to investigate variability of the spectral features, which would have many important implications for the physical condition and the geometry of the accretion disc and the illuminating source. This study will provide crucial keys to understand the geometry of primary X-ray source and immediate surroundings.

Meanwhile, unusual SED of PKS2126-15 (z=3.3) , where the synchrotron peaking at GHz and the inverse Compton peaks at ~10 keV, is most likely due to the presence of ultra-massive black hole with 2x10^10 Ms. These new-types are only found in highly distant universe, and maybe categorized as primitive blazars.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BKATAOKAJUNNULLNULLJAP3AO3UNVEILING NEW-TYPE "PRIMITIVE" BLAZARS WITH SUZAKUXISY

This source is a bright Seyfert 2 galaxy in the INTEGRAL AGN catalog by Beckman et al. 2006. By a follow-up observation in the optical band, this source was classified as an X-ray luminous type 2 Seyfert galaxy. A Chandra follow-up observation was also performed, but the shape of the X-ray spectrum was not well determined due to a short exposure of 3.5ks. Thank to the wide-band spectroscopy of Suzaku, we can obtain an X-ray spectrum in the 0.5-100 keV band.

With the XIS, we will study in detail the Fe K emission complex, including the narrow 6.4 keV Fe K core and in particular the prominent ``blue wing'' near 6.9 keV.

A plausible scenario is reprocessed emission from a cold medium (disk) diluted by variable, non-thermal jet flux. To test this scenario we propose Suzaku observations of the BLRG 3C 111, which exhibits flux variability above 10 keV from available data, suggesting a jet contribution. Moreover, 3C 111 was previously detected with EGRET at GeV energies, and synergy with GLAST will thus be exploited in the proposed program.

From our Spitzer-IRS mid-IR spectroscopy, we have found the first evidence for an obscured AGN in NGC 1448. On the basis of this data, NGC 1448 appears to be harboring a rapidly growing small obscured black hole (M_BH ~ 6x10^5 M_Sun; Eddington ratio of >0.1), and therefore appears to be an analog of the nearby Compton-thick AGN NGC 4945.

Second, the XIS observations will probe sensitively for short time-scale variability below 10 keV, the detection of which would establish unambiguously that the objects have genuinely unobscured nuclei and rule out the alternatives of scattered light or X-ray binaries.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ANANDRAKIRPALNULLNULLEUR3AO3SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF UNOBSCURED SEYFERT 2 GALAXIESHXDY

Since the spectrum in hard X-ray is reminiscent of blazar, its X-ray spectrum seems to have different components originated from disk and jet. Thanks to sensitive X-ray detectors extending to the hard X-ray band, Suzaku observation is expected to resolve a possible multi-component structure in the spectrum. Since beamed radiation from jet is highly variable, spectral temporal behavior is also vital information to distinguish the emission origin. As this source is located relatively nearby (z=0.061), the source is an excellent target to investigate the emission from disk and jet.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AHAYASHIDAMASAAKINULLNULLUSA4AO4SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF 1H0323+342: A PECULIAR SEYFERT-1 --PROBING THE DISK AND JET CONNECTION IN AGN--HXDY

Recent studies have found larger (~2X) BALQSO fractions in NIR selected samples compared to those in optical samples and have suggested that the NIR samples of BALQSOs better represent the general population of BALQSOs. We propose to observe three bright, red 2MASS selected BALQSOs with Suzaku, to complement archival X-ray observations of BALQSOs that may have been biased by their selection on optical properties only. Combined with the archival sample, we will measure the average X-ray properties of BALQSOs.

Based on its properties, the Voorwerp was illuminated by a luminous AGN ~100,000 years ago, but the AGN host galaxy - IC 2497 - does not seem to host a sufficiently luminous AGN. Thus, IC 2497 either hosts a highly obscured AGN only detectable in hard X-rays, or it has dropped in luminosity by a factor of 10-1000. We propose to observe IC 2497 with Suzaku for 75 ksec to determine the hard X-ray luminosity and spectrum to measure the amount of obscuration and the current intrinsic luminosity of its AGN. Only with hard X-ray observations can we break the degeneracy between obscuration and decrease in luminosity.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ASCHAWINSKIKEVINNULLNULLUSA4AO4HOW FAST CAN AN AGN SHUT DOWN? - SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF IC 2497 AND `HANNY'S VOORWERP'HXDY

There are now thought to be at least two warm absorber components in MR 2251-178; a low ionisation soft X-ray absorber and a putative high velocity (13000 km/s) high ionisation wind, which exhibits absorption lines in the iron K-shell band. We propose a 130 ks observation with Suzaku of MR 2251-178 with the primary goals; (i) to establish the nature of the high ionisation absorber, e.g. an accretion disk wind, through unprecedented high S/N observations in the iron K band with XIS; (ii) to determine the physical parameters of the soft X-ray warm absorber and (iii) to characterise the ionised reflection component and high-energy cut-off thanks to the high energy sensitivity of the HXD.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AREEVESJAMESFUKAZAWAYASUSHIEUR4AO4PROBING THE OUTFLOWING WIND IN MR 2251-178XISY

The distinction between LINER nuclei and other families of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can be due to different amounts and/or properties of the obscuring material. A high population of LINERs are Compton-thick candidates. However the Equivalent Width (EW) of the FeKa emission line are lower than those measured for Compton-thick AGN. We propose to use the unprecedented sensitivity of HXD and XIS on board Suzaku to study NGC4102, one of the brightest LINER in the 36-month Swift/BAT survey. NGC4102 is a Compton-thick LINER candidate with EW(FeKa)<500keV, it is therefore an ideal case to investigate the properties of absorption and the FeKa emission line.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BGONZALEZ-MARTINOMAIRANULLNULLEUR4AO4PROBING COMPTON-THICK OBSCURATION AND LOW EW(FEKA) OF LINERS: THE CASE OF NGC4102HXDY

Despite their importance in the cosmological context, only a few of them have been found so far. We have selected a well-defined sample of 31 Compton-thick candidates on the basis on their FX/FIR and X-ray colors. Due to the heavy obscuration, data above 10 keV are fundamental to unveil these sources. We ask here deep Suzaku observations (100 ks on each source) for 2 sources of our sample for which data at energy >10keV are not available yet. These observations will allow to complete the physical characterization (NH and LX) of the bright tail (F(2-10 keV)>5e-12 cgs) of our sample and to add more information to test the prediction of the AGN synthesis model.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BSEVERGNINIPAOLANULLNULLEUR4AO4SUZAKU OBSERVATIONS OF COMPTON-THICK CANDIDATESHXDY

The broadband and the good energy resolution will allow to investigate the spectral behaviour at low energies, and in particular to constraint true absorption $vs$ continuum features scenario. Particularly intriguing is the possible presence of a bulk Compton motion component. A self consistent test of this model could be derived by measuring the peak energy of the Inverse Compton component in the SED, a requirement that further strenghtens the need of a broadband observation with Suzaku.

One possible interpretation for the absence of broad lines is that NHBLR Sey2s are viewed from an extreme edge-on direction, so that the scattered light is obscured by the accretion torus. Hence observation of NHBLR Sey2s provides us the unique opportunity to investigate the densest region of the torus. We, therefore, propose 80 ksec observation of NHBLR Sey2 ESO 428-G014.

The hard component has been found by carrying out timing analysis of hard X-ray band to explain the extremely broad iron line feature of several Seyferts. Taking this component into account, we succeeded to explain the data of MCG 6-30-15 without the extremely broad iron line, though the origin of this component has not been identified yet. Because Mrk 509 has strong flux and large amplitude of hard X-ray variation, we found it is the most suitable object to verify this component and to get alternative interpretation to the extremely broad iron line.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CNODAHIROFUMINULLNULLJAP5AO5VERIFICATION OF A HARD COMPONENT THAT VARIES INDEPENDENTLY OF POWER-LAW IN TYPE I SEYFERT MRK 509XISY

We have previously suggested that LERGs violate conventional AGN unification schemes: they may lack an obscuring torus and are likely to accrete in a radiatively inefficient manner, with almost all of the energy released by the accretion process being channeled into powerful jets. However, Suzaku observations at low and high energies are needed to test this model directly. We will use the XIS and HXD to search for the signatures of accretion-related X-ray emission: (1) the 6.4 keV Fe Ka line, (2) heavily absorbed X-ray emission, and (3) the >10 keV Compton reflection bump. These results will have important implications for models of accretion and feedback in radio-loud AGN.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CEVANSDANIELNULLNULLUSA5AO5A DIRECT TEST OF THE NUCLEAR X-RAY DICHOTOMY IN RADIO-LOUD AGNXISY

We have recently selected a well defined sample of CT AGN candidates using FX/Fir ratios and X-ray colors. Due to their heavy obscuration, good statistics at 6.4 keV and data above 10 keV are needed to assess the real nature of these sources. We propose deep Suzaku observations (100 and 150 ks) for two sources for which data above 10 keV are not available and the quality of XMM data is poor. This request is a continuation of an approved AO4 proposal. These observations will allow us to possibly unveil two more examples of CT AGN, provide a physical characterization of the relatively bright tail of our sample, and estimate the efficiency of our method in selecting CT AGN.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ASEVERGNINIPAOLANULLNULLEUR5AO5SUZAKU OBSERVATIONS OF TWO COMPTON-THICK CANDIDATESHXDY

We propose a 150 ks observation with Suzaku to study the Fe line profile which in the short XMM-Newton observation shows some structure. If the iron line will turn out to be originated from the accretion disc, the lack of the BLR cannot be attributed to the lack of ionizing photons; if originated from the torus, this would put constraints on models assuming a common origin for the torus and the BLR; if the presence of an ionized iron line is confirmed, a BLR might exist but so highly ionized to be invisible at optical/UV wavelengths. An important added value of this observation is to confirm NGC3147 as a true Seyfert 2 by ruling out a Compton-thick nature, which only Suzaku can do thanks to its hard X-ray coverage.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BMATTGIORGIONULLNULLEUR5AO5SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF THE BEST ``TRUE SEYFERT 2'' GALAXY CANDIDATE, NGC 3147XISY

The proposed observations will provide rare high quality spectra of NLS1s in the 0.5-50keV band. The good quality data above 10keV will dramatically help us removing the spectral degeneracies inherent to limited bandpass analysis (such as that with XMM-Newton and Chandra) and the ambiguities between the different proposed models invoked to explain the unique spectral and variability properties of these most extreme class of high accretion rate sources.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7AMINIUTTIGIOVANNINULLNULLEUR5AO5BROADBAND X-RAY PROPERTIES OF HARD-X-RAY-BRIGHT NLS1 GALAXIESHXDY

From our analysis of past XMM-Newton observations, it shows a prominent and variable soft excess down to a two-day timescale. In 2000, an unusual FeK profile was found with an unresolved narrow line at 6.4keV and a broadened line centered at 6.7keV; while in 2006 a broad line has been observed near 6.4keV with a visible energy shift to 6.5keV occurring when the source flux increased. Our aims are to: (i) determine the FeK origin from its profile, and its possible variability on sub-orbital time-scales, (ii) to obtain an unprecedented simultaneous measurement of the Compton hump which is critical for modelling the true FeK profile (iii) and hence to infer a global picture of this object.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BPORQUETDELPHINENULLNULLEUR5AO5PROBING THE ORIGIN OF THE FEK COMPLEX IN THE ``BARE'' NUCLEUS OF MRK205.HXDY

Compared to huge angular extent of Cen-A (~10 degree), the lobe of NGC 6251 is comfortably fit within an XIS-FOV, but its physical size is almost the same as Cen-A(~Mpc).

What is known about its X-ray characteristics suggest it can provide tremendous insight. It is extremely bright and will render close to 20 ct/s in the combined XIS providing sufficient data to unambiguously detect features in the Fe~K region, distinguish absorption and reflection models, and study its rapid variability. Even in the most conservative estimates a PIN detection is expected. It is persistently variable on short time scales and in combination with the long duration of Suzaku observations, the proposed observationswill yield fruitful variability studies. It has never been observed by Suzaku thus guaranteeing significant opportunity for discovery.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BGALLOLUIGINULLNULLJAP6AO6REVEALING THE NATURE OF AN X-RAY ABSORBED SEYFERT 2XISY

All the available observational constraints favor an identification of HESS J1943+213 as a BL Lac at redshift z>0.14. If correct, this would be the first time an AGN is discovered serendipitously from TeV observations in the Galactic Plane. It would be also the most extreme BL Lac known, with the persistent synchrotron continuum extending up to the observed energies >100 keV. A good quality broad X-ray spectrum is needed to confirm the blazar association and the extreme character of the peculiar object HESS J1943+213. Here we argue that a relatively moderate Suzaku exposure of 40 ksec will enable us to obtain such a spectrum.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CSTAWARZLUKASZNULLNULLJAP6AO6PECULIAR UNIDENTIFIED TEV SOURCE HESS J1943+213 IN THE GALACTIC PLANE: EXTREME BLAZAR OR SOMETHING ELSE?XISY

The most important limitation in such work is that jet beaming swamps nuclear emission, so we must study powerful radio sources which are not affected by this bias. These are the Narrow Line Radio Galaxies (NLRGs). Heavy obscuration means that their primary emission is visible only above 10 keV. 3C 98 is an important member of the NLRG class because its hard band power dominates the full radio to X-ray core luminosity. We propose a 100 ks observation of this source with Suzaku to detect the core continuum emission and reflection above 10 keV. 3C~98 is one of few NLRGs for which we can expect to model (rather than just detect) the hard X-ray flux, and hence use it for testing unification schemes.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BGANDHIPOSHAKNULLNULLJAP6AO6HARD X-RAY EMISSION AND REFLECTION IN RADIO GALAXIES: 3C 98XISY

Optical and X-ray spectra of Seyferts generally provide important clues to the nature of the accretion process, and thus those objects are promising targets to investigate the connection of the jet to the central source. Here, we propose Suzaku observations of three Seyfert-type AGNs from our gamma-ray candidate list: those objects are also present in the Swift-BAT catalog. Those are III Zw 2, NGC 6814 and ESO 323-G077 and we request pointings of 80 ks, 40 ks and 40 ks respectively.

Separating these components requires simultaneous high-precision x-ray/optical monitoring, which has heretofore not been achieved. We propose to gather this necessary data via simultaneous optical and x-ray monitoring of the Sy 1 galaxy Zw 229-15. Kepler is monitoring Zw 229-15 every 30 minutes with unprecedented 99% duty cycle and 0.1% repeatability. The key missing data is an appropriate x-ray campaign.

Previous short XMM-Newton observations show that it is probably reflection-dominated, where light-bending effects are at their extreme. This is the only known object that shows such high variability while remaining in a reflection-dominated state. All other known objects show reflection-dominated spectra only when in a faint state, making their study very difficult. This object is reflection-dominated yet bright enough to study with relatively short exposures.Here we propose to observe this object for 80 ks.

However, the fundamental question, how the structure of the nucleus is different between AGNs with and without jets, is not resolved yet. A key parameter to understand the accretion flow is the Eddington ratio. BLRGs of 4C 50.55 and 3C 120 are rare objects having high Eddington ratio (L_bol/L_Edd~0.4) compared with Seyferts and typical BLRGs (< 0.1). Though the accretion disks in many BLRGs are known to be truncated and/or inner parts covered by corona, unified picture of accretion flows over a wide range of accretion rate is far from established. Therefore we propose observing a BLRG of 3C 227, which has the highest Eddington ratio in the hard X-ray luminous BLRGs.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CTAZAKIFUMIENULLNULLJAP7AO7STUDY OF NUCLEAR STRUCTURE OF BLRGS WITH HIGH ACCRETION RATEXISY

During the RASS, the soft X-ray spectrum of this source was steep. Following observations with ROSAT, ASCA, Swift, and XMM-Newton (XMM) showed flatter spectra. The XMM spectra are fitted with a power law with an cut-off (EC) at 4 keV, where a blackbody (BB) component was not evident. Either type of spectrum is not common for Seyferts. We consider this peculiarity is related to the RL nature of this object, originated in the jet. We will observe this source with Suzaku, which has higher energy resolution than XMM, to reveal the long term variability of this source.

In this event, a star was presumably disrupted by a strong tidal force of a massive black hole at the center of a galaxy at z=0.35, releasing a relativistic jet that emitted intense X-rays. In this proposal, we attempt to detect the non-thermal emission from the relativistic jet and the fluorescent Fe K line from its surrounding material.

This source stands out even amongst the rare WISE-selected sources we have been targeting: at mid-IR wavelengths, WISE J1819+4532 is ~10x brighter than similarly selected WISE sources, and more than 50x brighter than extreme Spitzer-selected sources. Assuming the local mid-IR to hard X-ray correlations, the implied intrinsic hard X-ray luminosity is L(2-10)~3e46 erg/s. WISE J1819+4532 is optically faint and the optical spectrum shows a typical obscured AGN with narrow emission lines. However, the object is infrared bright and the near-IR spectrum shows broad H-alpha emission.

A fleeting glimpse of the unique quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in this source has shown a complex timing behaviour with the emission below ~2 keV apparently crucial to its presence. Thus by understanding the origin and properties of the soft emission we can probe the physical mechanism of signals that cannot be resolved in stellar mass X-ray binaries but must be associated with the regions closest to the black hole. A new observation with Suzaku will allow a much deeper analysis of the soft emission and will shed light on how its changing properties can trigger such unique behaviour as the QPO.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7CMIDDLETONMATTHEWNULLNULLEUR7AO7REVEALING THE NATURE OF RE J1034+396 AND THE EXTREME SOFT EXCESSXISY

The hard BAT Gamma values thus have a variety of origins, and our strategy is very effective in selecting objects with interesting spectra.

Amongst the several claims of detection of broad iron lines performed in the last decade, that of IRAS 00521-7054 is one of the most surprising. This type-2 object appears to show in fact an extremely broadened iron line, which would require a maximally rotating supermassive black hole and the presence of light bending. However, due to the lack of high-quality broadband studies, alternative explanations, as a clumpy-absorbers scenario, cannot be ruled out. The aim of this proposal is to perform a 100ks observation of IRAS 00521-7054. Thanks to its large band coverage and its good sensitivity in the iron-line region, Suzaku will allow us to clearly understand the origin of the intriguing spectral features of IRAS 00521-7054.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BRICCICLAUDIONULLNULLJAP8AO8UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF THE PECULIAR X-RAY SPECTRAL FEATURES OF THE SEYFERT 2 IRAS 00521-7054XISY

Our goal is to distinguish between various competing models proposed for the X-ray spectra of Seyfert I nuclei. Especially we will test, by observing these targets, the ionized relativistic reflection (hereafter IRR). We will take advantage of Suzaku s unique capability of detecting hard X-rays beyond 10 keV by its HXD-PIN, simultaneously with X-rays in lower to medium energy bands by its XIS on board. With our proposed studies we will gain deeper understanding of accretion-powered AGN in general. Since the IRR takes place close to the black hole we will test the effects of strong gravity, such as the black hole spin.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BTSURUTASACHIKONULLNULLUSA8AO8SPECTRAL STUDIES OF SOME HARD X-RAY SELECTED SEYFERT NUCLEIXISY

However, a puzzling BeppoSAX observation lingers, which shows excess emission above 10 keV indicative of a Compton thick AGN. Nevertheless, rapid variability below 10 keV and meagre iron line emission (EW=60 eV) strongly argue against this conclusion. Data from the HXD will elucidate the situation, and either dispel this evidence, adding weight to the True Seyfert 2 scenario, or confirm the presence of heavily obscured emission, which may be explained by a partial covering scenario.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BBRIGHTMANMURRAYNULLNULLEUR8AO8NGC 3660: A TRUE SEYFERT 2?XISY

It is understood that the X-ray source is compact at low-fluxes, and increases in size at higher fluxes. Thus variable sources are essential for probing the physics of the innermost regions. Previous studies of the low-flux 'state' have been limited by low count rates. We propose to observe PG 1404+226, which shares many properties of other AGN showing reverberation, but even at low-fluxes, it is a factor of three brighter than similar objects. This source, never before observed with Suzaku, provides a unique opportunity for probing strong-field accretion because of its high luminosity and variability.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7BKARAERINNULLNULLEUR8AO8MAPPING THE X-RAY EMISSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE BLACK HOLE PG 1404+226XISY

Our proposed observation will show much clearer spectral variation than that seen in the previous Suzaku and XMM-Newton data, allowing us to understand the details of spectral evolution.

We propose Suzaku observations of 1ES 0347-121 and KUV 00311-1938 for 60 ks and 40 ks, respectively. The observations can reveal detailed spectral structure around synchrotron peak in the extreme HBLs, which are essential to derive physical parameters such as electron spectrum, magnetic filed strength in the jet.

Our ongoing multiwavelength observations probe the dense medium that was ejected by the progenitor star, possibly a Luminous Blue Variable. While the radio flux dropped steadily, the X-ray and UV/optical fluxes remained surprisingly constant for a decade. However, our most recent XMM observation in 2013 June reveals a significant fading compared to the 2006 Oct Suzaku observation. Here we request a 100 ksec observation to study the spectral evolution during the decay. This will serve as a pathfinder for younger Type IIn supernovae.

Here we propose to observe four Compton thick AGN candidates in the 70 month BAT catalog with Suzaku. Since their spectra below 10 keV are likely reflection dominated, joint analysis of Suzaku/XIS and Swift/BAT can constrain the absorption and intrinsic luminosity without being much affected by time variability. This will lead us to the first reliable measurement of the fraction of Compton thick AGNs and column density distribution, which are key parameters in the population synthesis of the X-ray background.

The result suggests that a hard primary X-ray continua found in NGC 3516 by Noda et al. (2013) is generated in a corona formed closely to an accretion disk, which is possibly a radiatively inefficient accretion flow. As a next step, we examine whether or not an X-ray variation is also correlated with that in optical, when NGC 3516 is in the bright phase, and the other primary X-ray continuum, also reported by Noda et al. (2013), is dominant. For it, we propose an X-ray and optical simultaneous observation of NGC 3516 with an exposure of 120 ksec, which is triggered by a Swift monitoring.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES7ANODAHIROFUMINULLNULLJAP10AO10-TOOX-RAY AND OPTICAL SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATIONS OF NGC 3516 IN ITS BRIGHT PHASEXISY

In low accretion rate AGN, where does the optically thick part of the accretion disk stop? Does it go in to within a few gravitational radii of the black hole, as in higher accretion rate Seyfert galaxies, or does it stop hundreds of gravitational radii from the black hole? Using NuSTAR and Suzaku spectra we will measure the strengths of the Compton reflection hump, Fe K alpha, Fe XXV and Fe XXVI lines. This will determine whether the Fe K alpha line is produced by reflection off the optically thick outer disk, or is produced in the optically thin inner flow.

Ark 564 has been well-studied in the soft band, revealing a steep spectrum, strong soft excess, broad iron K emission line and dramatic variability on the order of hours. It is very akin to two other well-known bare Seyferts, 1H0707-405 and IRAS 13224-3809, except it is an order of magnitude brighter.

A radio minihalo extends over the central 6 arcmin. A coincident power-law component is seen in deep Chandra data. This is likely to be inverse Compton emission from the electron population responsible for the radio emission.

The previous ASCA observation has reported that this group has a hard tail in the spectrum. With 100 ksec exposure, we can constrain the flux of the hard component above ~3 keV with much higher accuracy. This will give a great impact in understanding the origin of the hard emission and non-thermal populations in the IGM. Furhtermore determining the metal abundance, particularly Oxygen, in the central and outer regions will give us new, valuable information on metal enrichment processes in the group that is not dominated by a cD galaxy.

Iwasawa et al. (2003) found a large X-ray nebula up to 16kpc around NGC4388, which is photoiionized by Seyfert nucleus. Thus, this result suggests that the hard X-ray emission from active galactic nucleus could be a prime heat source of nebula. The goals of this observation are (1) to see how far the X-ray nebula is extended, (2) to obtain its precise X-ray spectrum, (3) to determine what is the X-ray emission mechanism, and (4) to exam if the photoionization by AGN could be a prime heat source of the galactic halo.

Here, we propose to observe the cosmological filament between clusters A399 and A401 with Suzaku. We try to detect the OVII emission line and confirm the existence of WHIM in the filament. We expect that the density of the WHIM in the filament is high, and that the detection will be easier than that in other regions in the Universe. Moreover, since the redshift of the filament is relatively high, we can discriminate between the OVII mission from the WHIM and that from our Galaxy by studying the redshift of the line.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8AFUJITAYUTAKANULLNULLJAP1AO1THE DETECTION OF WHIM IN THE A399/401 FILAMENTXISN

We have carried out "weak lensing analysis" and derived mass map in A2142. We measure the bulk velocity via Fe-K line in the central region. We derive the merger velocity by observing the temperatures of the heating and non-heating which are expected by our observational results.

It also has many other interesting features, such as a cold front, evidence for merger, a shock, and regions of unusually high temperature, all of which are related to the hard X-ray emission and the nonthermal activity. The more accurate measure of the spectral characteristics of the hard component, when combined with the radio and other past X-ray data, can reveal the nature of the emission process and the acceleration mechanism of the relativistic electrons, provide a means of measuring the magnetic field strength, and aid in understanding the process of formation of clusters.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CPETROSIANVAHENULLNULLUSA1AO1HARD X-RAY EMISSION FROM CLUSTER RXJ0658HXDY

The flux of SN 1987A continues to rise exponentially with an e-folding time of ~800 days. The abundances in the ejecta could be measured with unprecedented accuracy. We confirm that Oxygen and Iron are significantly underabundant with respect to other elements, indicating the formation of dust, maybe even black rust grains (Fe3O4). We propose to monitor the chemical evolution of SN 1987A with Suzaku for 40 ksec in AO-1, where we expect about twice the previous flux. The exponential brightening and the chemical abundance is expected to change, when the full inner ring is engulfed. Simultaneously we can search for a periodic hard signal from the putative pulsar.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BHASINGERG NTHERNULLNULLEUR1AO1SN 1987A - A RUSTY REMNANT?XISN

Previous attempts to measure temperatures at the cluster virial radius have failed. Here we show that such measurements appear feasible now for the first time with the Suzaku X-ray CCDs. Furthermore, we show that A2204 and A2163 are optimal targets for such an investigation. We, therefore, propose to observe A2204 for 55 ks and A2163 for 100 ks to measure the gas temperature to 10% and 15% accuracy (1-sigma), respectively, out to the cluster virial radii.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BREIPRICHTHOMASNULLNULLEUR1AO1A2204 AND A2163: GALAXY CLUSTER GAS TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT UP TO THE VIRIAL RADIUSSPEN

Coma has the best-studied and brightest radio halo, which makes it the best case to detect IC and the most useful one for testing theories for the origin of radio halos. Previous detections with BeppoSAX and RXTE are controversial. Suzaku is more sensitive, will avoid contamination by nearby AGNs including X Comae, and will detect IC even if it is fainter than the claimed BeppoSAX detection. The HXD/PIN data will allow the cluster magnetic field, and nonthermal energy and pressure to be derived.

Utilizing the high-sensitivity Suzaku/XIS spectroscopy, the line-of-sight velocity of the X-ray emitting gas can be accurately measured from the Doppler shift of iron-K lines.

Our strategy here is to observe a luminous merging cluster hosting a bright radio halo, whilst avoiding the thermal ICM emission to overwhelm the 10-40 keV band, in which the HXD has the best sensitivity. The key is to look for relatively high red-shift cluster. Since the CMB density increases as (1+z)^4, the inverse Compton emission relative to the radio flux increases typically as (1+z)^2, while the thermal ICM emission is red-shifted. We believe this is one of the best method to utilize the Suzaku power for cluster hard X-ray survey.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8ANAKAZAWAKAZUHIRONULLNULLJAP2AO2HARD X-RAY VIEW OF A DISTANT RADIO-HALO CLUSTER ABELL2744HXDY

We observe a distant cluster, MS 1512+3647 (z=0.372), and determine the abundance ratio of alpha particles which are created by type II supernovae to iron by type Ia.

This phenomenon is exact opposite of that of giant cD clusters, in which temperature of the ICM decreases toward the center. To explain this observation, we have proposed that galaxies moving through the ICM interact magnetohydrodynamically with the ICM. This scenario implies that the galaxies have lost some part of their kinetic energies, while the ICM received the released energies. As a result, the ICM have been efficiently heated near the center in which galaxy number density is high. To strengthen our scenario, we propose to observation and study temperature map of the Antlia cluster which is another non-cD, relaxed, and nearby (z=0.0087) cluster.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CKITAGUCHITAKAONULLNULLJAP2AO2SUZAKU OBSERVATION OF NON-CD ANTLIA CLUSTERXISY

Though two interpretations for abnormality of intensity ratio of Fe-Kalpha/Fe Kbeta line, "resonance scattering effect" and "Ni overabundance", have been proposed, a determinate result has not been obtained. Both interpretations give a very big impact to the understanding of chemical evolution of ICM that has been obtained so far. To solve the problem, we propose the measurement of Ni and Fe lines with high precision for Ophiuchus cluster which is bright and hot enough for measuring the K lines.

In our Chandra survey of galaxies, we found solar ISM abundances (Zfe), similar to the stars and implying enrichment homology from clusters to moderate-Lx galaxies. The only outlier was NGC1553, for which we found a tantalizing hint of very subsolar Zfe, inconsistent with simple models. Unlike other galaxies with recent reports of low Zfe, NGC1553 has a bright gas halo, so the results are insensitive to the modelling of unresolved LMXB. We propose an 80ks observation of NGC1553 to measure definitively the ISM abundances of Fe and other crucial diagnostic elements.

The recent generation of X-ray satellites (Chandra and XMM) thanks to their fine spatial resolution and high sensitivity have provided so far detailed spectral information mainly in the inner bright regions but they have not been very helpful in background dominated regimes typical of cluster outskirts' observations because of their high background. Suzaku has the capabilities to target those regions. We propose to observe the outskirts of the very relaxed cluster of galaxies A2029 with XIS to measure for the first time temperature and metallicity of the ICM up to r_vir.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8AZAPPACOSTALUCANULLNULLUSA2AO2EXPLORING THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE RELAXED CLUSTER ABELL 2029XISY

They are bright clusters of galaxies in the BAT all sky survey sample, which is crucial for making good spectral measurements by the HXD. And their spectra have a significant hard excess (power-law component). We intend to constrain the power-law photon index of the nonthermal emission for the first time and to determine the size of hard X-ray emitting region by using both of the HXD and Swift BAT data. We are aiming to test the origin of the hard flux and see whether it originates from either diffuse inverse Compton scattering by relativistic cosmic-ray electrons or an AGN.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BOKAJIMATAKASHINULLNULLUSA2AO2OBSERVATIONS OF NONTHERMAL EMISSION FROM CLUSTERS OF GALAXIESXISY

The ICM is an ideal candidate since it provides a map of the DM potential. Measuring the gas properties to the virial radius is imperative for determining the proper cluster mass, since a large part of the cluster mass resides beyond 1/2 r_vir. Current discrepancies in outer cluster kT profiles are due to large uncertainties due to the high background in Chandra and XMM-Newton. With its lower background, Suzaku is able to make this measurement. We propose a 50 ks observation of A2244. A2244 is an ideal candidate to make this measurement; at a redshift of z~0.1, the virial radius can be fit inside Suzaku's field of view, moreover A2244 is an unusual example of a relaxed cluster without a cool core.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BHUDSONDANIELNULLNULLEUR2AO2A2244 - MEASURING CLUSTER GAS TEMPERATURE TO THE VIRIAL RADIUS IN A RELAXED ISOTHERMAL CLUSTERXISY

However it is still a mystery how such diverse structures emerge out of primeval density fluctuations that grew over time due to the effects of gravity. An important role in the structure-formation process is played by the large-scale shocks that form as the primordial density fluctuations become non-linear and the accretion flows on collapsing structures become supersonic. In order to understand cosmic-rays acceleration greater than 1000 TeV and the structure formation in the early universe, we propose a 40 ksec observation of the proto-cluster filament ZwCl 2341.1+0000 (z = 0.27) with Suzaku.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BKATAOKAJUNNULLNULLJAP3AO3COSMIC-RAY ACCELERATION AND STRUCTURE FORMATION IN A MPC-SCALE FILAMENTARY NETWORK OF GALAXIESXISY

For this reason, SN Ia is difficult to take place in the galaxy with low metallicity. We propose the observation on IKT 25, a type Ia SNR candidate in SMC, in order to decide its origin. Since the Fe abundance of SMC (0.2 solar) is lower than that of any other galaxys where SN Ia (or its remnant) had already been discovered, this observation will give the strongest restriction to the theory of the white dwarf evolution.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8AYAMAGUCHIHIROYANULLNULLJAP3AO3IKT25: TYPE IA SNR CANDIDATE IN SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUDXISY

On the other hand, relaxed cluster (such as Abell 1060 and Centaurus) show no evidence of such component. These results suggests that the very-hot component is the key aspects of merging cluster. Triangulum Australis is a bright (f ~ 1e-10 cgs), mildly hot (kT ~ 9 keV) and relatively compact (size ~20x20 arcmin2) shaped cluster.

The Milky Way is missing at least 70% of its baryons while lower mass galaxies retain less than 10% of their baryons. Theory suggests that these baryons were expelled by intense galactic winds during the primary star formation period. These galactic winds carry gas far beyond the virial radius of small and modest galaxies, but the most massive galaxies should retain much of this gas. We propose to test this picture by searching for the missing baryons surrounding the very massive spiral galaxy, NGC 1961, which has 10 times the stellar content of M31 and with v_rot = 450 km/sec.

However, the complexity of the filament network and the distance between clusters makes this approach very difficult (if not impossible), except in few cases where several clusters are sufficiently close together, such as within a supercluster. We propose an investigation using Suzaku of a region within the Shapley Supercluster where, following the cluster network, a filament is expected and a ROSAT PSPC investigation has found excess emission. Suzaku s characteristics will allow a clear detection and characterization of the filament. A second observation in an empty region nearby will be used as control field.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BGALEAZZIMASSIMILIANONULLNULLUSA3AO3FILAMENTARY X-RAY STRUCTURE IN THE SHAPLEY SUPERCLUSTERXISY

Previous attempts to measure robust temperatures at cluster virial radii failed. Here, we demonstrate that such measurements are feasible now for the first time with the Suzaku X-ray CCDs, using our observation of the cluster A2204, carefully treating background and PSF. To determine the temperature profile of the cluster population as a whole, more such observations are required. We show that A2163 is the optimal complementary target for such an investigation. We, therefore, propose to observe A2163 to measure the gas temperature to 15% accuracy out to the virial radius.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8AREIPRICHTHOMASNULLNULLEUR3AO3GALAXY CLUSTER GAS TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT UP TO THE VIRIAL RADIUS OF A2163XISY

The system, located at z = 0.048, shows the richest concentration of X-ray clusters in the nearby universe. Previous ROSAT observation showed enhanced soft X-ray emission along the cluster connection. We propose to observe for 80 ksec a region between A3558 (the brightest central cluster) and A3556, separated by 0.9 virial radius from both clusters and along the line of cluster connection. A 40 ksec observation is also proposed at a 2-degree offest region to measure the foreground Galactic spectrum.

It is known that a mass ratio of Mn to Cr synthesized in Type Ia supernovae is strongly correrated with the metaricity of the progenitor white dwarf. In the early Suzaku observation, we already detected the Cr line with about 3-sigma confidence level. In this follow-up observation, we detect the Cr and Mn lines with significant confidence, and determine the metaricity of the progenitor of SNR N103B. This will be the first measurement of the white dwarf's metaricity in the extra-galactic object.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BTAMAGAWATORUNULLNULLJAP4AO4A MANGANESE LINE DETECTION FROM SNR N103B IN A LOW METARICITY GALAXYXISY

Exploiting the low background and good sensitivity of Suzaku, we have found similar gradients in two lower mass, galaxy-scale systems, which has important implications for models of feedback and chemical enrichment. We propose to observe two more isolated elliptical galaxies, thus starting to building a sample for determining the frequency and properties of such abundance gradients in early-type galaxies.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BHUMPHREYPHILIPNULLNULLUSA4AO4ABUNDANCE GRADIENTS IN EARLY-TYPE GALAXIESXISY

Despite the low number of bright galaxies, their high velocity dispersions and gas temperatures indicate potential wells deeper than that of normal groups. Their measured c200 are high indicating very early formation epochs, which is in contradiction with the lack of cooling cores observed. We can constrain their ages by looking at the distribution of the SN Ia and II ejecta near their core. If they are formed more recently than normal groups by galaxy merging near the core, the central gas should have a reduction of SN Ia dominance, differently from what is observed in normal groups. We propose to test this with the most optimal and nearest fossil group, NGC6482, matching very well the capabilities of Suzaku.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8ADUPKERENATONULLNULLUSA4AO4DISCRIMINATING COMPETING MODELS FOR THE ORIGIN OF FOSSIL GROUPS OF GALAXIES WITH SUZAKUXISY

These unprecedented measurements will enable us to study the entropy profile at scales near the region in which accretion shocks become important, and will reveal whether its flattening outside the core of the group extends as far as Rvir. Furthermore, we will obtain the mass profile and test the validity of the NFW model in the outer parts of the halo. Due to its high surface brightness and favourable distance, RXJ1159+5531 is the ideal target with which to carry out this study. It will constitute a textbook case for constraining the feedback and other nongravitational processes which shape the distribution of hot gas in galaxy groups.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8AHUMPHREYPHILIPNULLNULLUSA4AO4GAS IN A GALAXY GROUP AT THE VIRIAL RADIUS: RXJ1159+5531, A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLEXISY

Recent numerical simulations indicate that the entropy generation occurs through two-shock propagations, which is to be markedly seen in the cluster outskirts. On the other hand, little observational testing has been done for this regime of merging systems. We thus request three additional pointings to cover regions of large-scale filaments discovered in the optical. This study can only be achieved by Suzaku because of the lowest background level and excellent sensitivity, and will bring us new constraints on the thermodynamical history of the clusters.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8COTANAOMINULLNULLJAP5AO5MAPPING THE GAS ENTROPY GENERATION IN A SEQUENCE OF MERGING CLUSTERSXISY

Suzaku will observe the temperature distribution over the bridge region, which will tell us the origin of the bridge to be either WHIM or merger onset.

To understand the formation process of early-type galaxies in more detail, it is very important to appreciate whether the different abundance pattern is due to morphology or temperature of system.

Using the energy resolution of the XIS, we would like to explain the origin, deciding heavy element abundances of VIRGOHI 21. Extremely low abundance will give us the first "dark galaxy".

Detecting such a halo around a disk galaxy is, however, extremely challenging for current instrumentation. We propose instead to measure the baryon content of an isolated, X-ray bright elliptical galaxy (Mvir~6E12Msun), which provides the best opportunity to take a census of the baryons in a normal, galaxy-scale system. Currently little is known about the total baryon content of such objects, which are the likely end points of spiral galaxy merging. Combined with archival data, our offset pointing will enable the gas to be traced to ~0.75R500, comparable to what has been achieved for galaxy groups and clusters.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CHUMPHREYPHILIPNULLNULLUSA5AO5THE BARYON FRACTION OF AN ISOLATED ELLIPTICAL GALAXYXISY

The small scatter of baryon fractions as a function of the gravitational potential well depth indicates a universal baryon loss mechanism for these systems. However, the relation is most poorly constrained in the poor galaxy group regime below 1keV, where few individual measurements exists. Since most galaxies reside in these groups, it is also important to test whether the missing baryons from the galaxies are actually in these poor groups.

This will allow us to determine the radial profiles of the gaseous iron mass to stellar light ratio, the relative distributions of ejecta from SN Ia and SN II, the entropy, the total mass to light ratio, and the dark matter concentration for this fossil group. The energy resolution and low background of the XIS instrument are crucial for this study, which will help constrain the evolutional history of this fossil group and tell us how fossil groups relate to normal groups and clusters.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BSUYUANYUANNULLNULLUSA5AO5HOW DO FOSSIL GROUPS OF GALAXIES DIFFER FROM NORMAL GROUPS?XISY

Yet a determinaton of elemental abundances of the gas at this radius will allow us to determine which enrichment mechanism (ram pressure stripping or galactic winds) is prevalant in the outskirts of clusters. We propose a 100 kec Suzaku observation of Coma at the virial radius to determine the Fe and S abundances at this location.

The broad peaks of Fe abundance indicate (turbulent) diffusion of metals possibly driven by AGN feedback. Exploiting the low background and good sensitivity of Suzaku XIS, we have found similar gradients in three lower mass (virial mass 5-10E12 Msun) elliptical galaxies, which has important implications for models of feedback and chemical enrichment. We propose to observe another two carefully chosen galaxies, thus starting to build a sample for determining the frequency and properties of such abundance gradients in early-type galaxies.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CHUMPHREYPHILIPNAGINORYOUSJ5AO5ABUNDANCE GRADIENTS IN EARLY-TYPE GALAXIESXISY

We propose a Suzaku observation with an exposure of 100 ks, aiming at; confirming the bright > 20 keV component, the very hot component (e.g. Nakazawa+ 2010) evidencing the strong merger, and obtain temperature map of the dim diffuse X-ray observed to the south east and the south west to resolve the nature of these emission.

Systematic study of the shock-heated ISM in a galaxy unveils its overall metal distribution and provides a key to understand its chemical evolution. On the basis of this idea, we have performed observations of SNRs in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We here propose to observe the LMC SNR B0532-675 for 80 ks. Since it locates near the star formation region LH76, we expect that we can study the process of metal diffusion from a star forming region by utilizing the result from another SNR DEM L241 near LH76 already observed.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CSOMEYAKENTARONULLNULLJAP6AO6STUDY OF CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD WITH SNRSXISY

A massive cluster, XMMU 2235.3-2557 found at z=1.4 is especially important because the presence itself should be quite rare if the standard theory with the Gaussian random field is correct. However, there can be a lot of systematic errors of the mass estimates, that is, the temperature measurement of the cluster. Hence, we propose an independent measurement of X-ray spectroscopic temperature by SUZAKU.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CKAWAHARAHAJIMENULLNULLJAP6AO6TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT OF A MASSIVE HIGH-Z CLUSTER XMMU 2235.3-2557 BY SUZAKUXISY

A2319 is a nearby massive merging cluster whose collision axis is nearly along the line of sight, and has diffuse non-thermal radio emission. We will determine the radial velocity of the ICM in the north subgroup region, and compare it with that in the central region which has been already determined from the AO1 data (Sugawara et al. 2009). Using these results and optical observational data of member galaxies, we will determine dynamical status of the ICM and get implications on the particle acceleration process.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CTAKIZAWAMOTOKAZUNULLNULLJAP6AO6DYNAMICAL STATUS OF THE HOT GAS AROUND THE NORTH SUBGROUP IN THE A2319 CLUSTERXISY

The radio lobe of FR I radio galaxy Centaurus B was previously detected by ASCA. For revealing the mechanism of particle acceleration in radio lobes, detailed multi-wavelength observations are very important. We propose a deep observation of the radio lobe by Suzaku, which has the advantage of low background and high sensitivity for diffuse X-ray. Good quality Suzaku data combined with a detailed modeling reveals particle acceleration mechanism working in the radio lobe.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BTANAKAYASUYUKINULLNULLJAP6AO6X-RAY OBSERVATION OF RADIO LOBE OF FR I RADIO GALAXY CENTAURUS BXISY

The soft X-ray sensitivity and spectral resolution of this observation will allow us to measure key elemental abundances and thus to test models for metal yields of massive stars. We will determine the spatial variation in the thermal and chemical properties of the hot gas and the effect on the global estimation of the chemical enrichment from an integrated spectrum, as would be obtained for a distant starburst region. We will also estimate the mass-loading from the general interstellar medium --- a key parameter for determining the evolution of the hot gas. The results will serve as an observational benchmark for understanding massive star feedback.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CWANGQ.

The galaxy is also rich in molecular gas and shows distinct vertical dusty filaments, which most likely represent cold gas blown out by SNe from the disk. We herein propose a 100ks Suzaku observation of it to better measure the hot gas properties and its spatial distribution. The energy resolution and counting statistics of the observation will enable us to greatly improve the measurement of the abundances. By further comparing such measurements among galaxies of different cold gas contents, we will investigate the effect of cold/hot gas interaction on the dynamics of the hot gas, as well as its thermal and chemical properties.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BLIJIANG-TAONULLNULLUSA6AO6X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY OF STELLAR FEEDBACK PROCESSES IN A COOL GAS-RICH S0 GALAXYXISY

Our recent analysis of XMM pointings covering the Virgo Cluster out to large radii provided the first accurate and well resolved measurements of the thermodynamic properties and metallicity of a low-temperature, modestly sized galaxy cluster out to the virial radius (~1.1Mpc). These observations present an exciting insight into the physical conditions of the ICM at large radii, indicating a high level of clumping.

It has two bright radio relic emission located to the north (Feretti et al. 2006), and a candidate shock-front located near the relics (Solovyeva et al. 2008). The cluster X-ray luminosity is more than an order of magnitude dimmer when plotted in the kT-Lx relation. Combined with its too high galaxy velocity dispersion, we consider this target as a critical merger of two group-sized systems, which is a very rare case in our vicinity. Using Suzaku, we will parametrize the low surface brightness candidate shock region, to identify the temperature jump, which cannot be detected with XMM.

Unlike some recent observations of cluster outskirts, the gas fraction is consistent with the cosmic value, and the entropy profile at rvir is consistent with gravity-only structure formation simulations. As a fossil group, RXJ1159+5531 may be unusually relaxed at large scales. If so, the gas properties should not vary much azimuthally.

Unlike some recent observations of cluster outskirts, the gas fraction is consistent with the cosmic value, and the entropy profile at rvir is consistent with gravity-only structure formation simulations. As a fossil group, RXJ1159+5531 may be unusually relaxed at large scales. If so, the gas properties should not vary much azimuthally. We propose a complementary Suzaku observation to explore this by measuring the gas in a different azimuthal region, more than doubling the current (~27%) azimuthal coverage.

Instead its ICM properties at r_vir are consistent with adiabatic cluster formation, which may reflect that hydrostatic equilibrium is very accurate in this highly evolved fossil group. To examine whether these results extend to other fossils and to more massive systems, we propose to observe the fossil cluster RXJ 1416.4+2315 (M_vir ~3 x 10^14 M_sun) to constrain its entropy and gas fraction out to r_vir (r_112).

Understanding the gamut of ICM properties, however, requires X-ray observations of samples chosen independently of their X-ray characteristics; likewise, such samples provide a powerful tool for quantifying redshift evolution in cluster properties.

The scaling relations and their deviations from self-similar model predictions due to non-gravitational processes are also important for modeling the cluster selection function for cosmology. We propose to observe a uniform sample of z~0.6 galaxy clusters, selected from the Swift archival data and confirmed by multi-band optical data, using Suzaku to better characterize their X-ray properties such the X-ray luminosity and temperature. With this sample, we are able to model the selection functions relatively easily and place cleaner and tighter constraints on the evolution of X-ray properties of galaxy clusters.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CDAIXINYUNULLNULLUSA7AO7X-RAY PROPERTIES OF A UNIFORMLY SELECTED SAMPLE OF Z ~ 0.6 CLUSTERSXISY

It is surrounded by poorly known giant radio lobes extending for about 600 kpc in the N-S direction. Here we propose Chandra follow-up of four regions in the Southern and Northern lobes where Suzaku time was allocated. We also propose joint Chandra-Suzaku observation toward interacting filamentary region where ASCA found a hint of X-ray emission. The primary goal of the project is to study the filamentary structure of the lobe in X-rays, in the broader context of particle acceleration and energy dissipation processes taking place in inhomogeneous and multi-phase plasma.

Existing observations of Abell 85 reveal an infalling galaxy group ~300 kpc to the south of the main cluster moving supersonically through the ICM. Stripped gas is observed trailing behind this group to distances of 2 Mpc. We will investigate interactions between this group and the main cluster by observing the shocks associated with the group's motion and the properties of stripped gas.

A2744 is a multiple merger, nicknamed Pandora's cluster. Our analysis of existing Suzaku data suggest that this cluster has an anisotropic temperature structure near the virial radius and there is not a simple correlation between temperature and surface mass density of member galaxies. With proposed observations, we can determine, for the first time, the temperature and entropy profiles near the radio relic in the northeast and further test a scenario of gas heating and shock propagation in the cluster outskirts. Suzaku is most suited for this study because of the lowest background and excellent sensitivity.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BOTANAOMINULLNULLJAP8AO8REVEALING THE THERMODYNAMICAL EVOLUTION IN THE PANDORA'S CLUSTERXISY

This observation confirmed a hot region between the main and sub components. Furthermore, we found a gas velocity shift between the main and sub by about 2500 km/s. We believe that these are colliding with each other. The current result are limited by statistics and systematic uncertainty.

Only a few elliptical galaxies have detailed mass measurements from X-rays because of the lack of suitable targets in terms of total mass (< ~10^{13} m_sun) and relaxed dynamical states appropriate for hydrostatic analysis. We have identified a sample of (hot) gas-rich isolated elliptical galaxies, most of which were discovered from previously awarded XMM and Chandra snapshot programs to search for optimal targets for X-ray studies of mass profiles on the galaxy scale. We request Suzaku observations to map the detailed profiles of stars, dark matter, and hot gas in two of these galaxies which have (scheduled) complementary Chandra observations.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8CBUOTEDAVIDNULLNULLUSA8AO8THE DARK MATTER AND BARYON PROFILES OF ISOLATED ELLIPTICAL GALAXIESXISY

Instead its ICM properties at r_vir are consistent with adiabatic cluster formation as we found previously for the fossil group/cluster RXJ 1159+5531, which may reflect that hydrostatic equilibrium is very accurate in these highly evolved fossil systems. Therefore, we propose a Suzaku observation in a different azimuthal direction to double the azimuthal coverage at r_vir (from ~30% to ~60%) in order to test for the presence of azimuthal ICM variations expected for clusters that grow by accretion along large-scale filaments.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8ABUOTEDAVIDNULLNULLUSA8AO8VERIFYING RELAXED ICM AT THE VIRIAL RADIUS IN A FOSSIL GALAXY CLUSTERXISY

Despite many attempts to measure its spectrum, the normalization of the spectrum of the CXB in the 2-10 keV band has considerable uncertainty, of the order of 30% or more. The CXB represents an important integral of the total accretion power of supermassive black holes. We propose to use the dark side of the Moon as a shutter, thereby enabling a clear and unambiguous measurement of the CXB to be made with Suzaku. The motion of the Moon during a 45 ks observation extends over 5 deg, so by tracking the Moon we shall obtain an angle-averaged spectrum.

A3391 and A3395 are located in Horologium supercluster and expected to be in an initial phase of a cluster merger. With Suzaku fs high sensitivity observation, we will (i) determine the physical conditions of IntraCluster Medium by measuring the temperature and density distribution, (ii) unveil the origin of the filamentary structure from distribution of abundance, pressure and entropy.

Metallicities measured in these systems are applied broadly and used in models, so it is important to understand the limits of the measurement. We address two ilimitations: we estimate the systematic error in the metallicity by comparing Suzaku and XMM-Newton observations, and we determine whether the bright, metal-enriched gas around starburst galaxies represents most of their mass.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8BHODGES-KLUCKEDMUNDNULLNULLUSA9AO9MEASURING SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTY IN THE HALO METALLICITY OF NGC 891 AND NGC 4631XISY

Only a few elliptical galaxies have detailed mass measurements from X-rays because of the lack of suitable targets in terms of total mass (< ~10^13 m_sun) and relaxed dynamical states appropriate for hydrostatic analysis. We have identified a sample of (hot) gas-rich isolated elliptical galaxies, most of which were discovered from previously awarded XMM and Chandra snapshot programs to search for optimal targets for X-ray studies of mass profiles on the galaxy scale. We request Suzaku observations to map the detailed profiles of stars, dark matter, and hot gas in two of these galaxies which have complementary Chandra observations.EXTRAGALACTIC DIFFUSE SOURCES8ABUOTEDAVIDNULLNULLUSA9AO9THE DARK MATTER AND BARYON PROFILES OF ISOLATED ELLIPTICAL GALAXIESXISY

Four additional pointings, combined with two existing pointings, will allow us to determine radial profiles of gas temperature, density, entropy, pressure, and gas mass fraction, as well as their azimuthal variation. Comparing these properties to those of clusters will allow us to probe the role played by baryonic physics and assess the imprints of hierarchical structure formation.

Our initial results suggest that its density profile is more consistent with some massive clusters, but significantly steeper than its cool core counterpart with a similar temperature (mass), Virgo. We propose to extend our program to observe two other directions to test azimuthal variation, which is likely to be significant. Physical properties such as density and temperature will be studied around the virial radius. These data can place important constraints on theoretical models of clusters and their environments.

Recent Swift/XRT observations reveal that early X-ray afterglows of GRB has flat portion with very shallow decay. It may suggest continuous energy input from the central engine. The transition from its phase to general afterglow may display hard-to-soft evolution reflecting the cooling frequency. Thus multi wavelength observation will provide a key to the physics of central engine activity. (ii) Emission lines in the afterglows. The confirmation of line existence should be a matter of great importance because there remains unanswered questions. Some data may indicate a prominent iron line but others seem to suggest significant lower energy lines instead without iron lines.EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES9AMURAKAMITOSHIONULLNULLJAP0SWG-TOOTOO OBSERVATIONS OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTSHXDN

Daily monitoring of AGILE records E>100 MeV flux of 2x10^(-6) photons/cm^2/s or even greater. At present (Nov.23, 2007) flux is still increasing in both GeV and R-band, and this high state is expected to continue for typical flaring time scale of 1 month. Note this level of giant flare is recorded only 4-times through the entire life of EGRET onboard CGRO (3C279,1407-076,0528+134,1622-297).

For this X-ray binary pulsar GRO J1008-57, Suzaku HXD GSO is the only useful detector. The inferred resonance energy of 90 keV will be the highest resonance energy. It locates at the higher end of the resonance energy distribution.
