Abstract:

The Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) was discovered almost 50 years ago. 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. Data from the Moon itself will be analysed and mosaicked to form an X-ray colour image highlighting different fluorescent lines from the bright side.
