Abstract:

We propose to study the large SNR HB3, which is classified as the mixed-morphology SNRs. The Fermi LAT revealed recently bright gamma-ray emissions adjacent to the southeastern shell of HB3, indicating the gamma rays originate in shocked molecular clouds associated with the nearby HII region W3/W4. However it is difficult to determine the gamma-ray origins since the HII regions are dominant in all energy bands except for X-ray. Our aim is to obtain the spatial structure and the temperature of thermal X-ray emissions at this site. These information will help us to understand whether HB3 interacts with molecular clouds. For this purpose, we require high sensitivities and the wide field of view to cover the southeastern shell. Suzaku is an ideal X-ray observatory to achieve this objective.
