Abstract

The Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission is the sixth Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite developed by a large international collaboration, including Japan, USA, Canada, and Europe. The mission aimed to provide the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 2 keV, using a microcalorimeter instrument, and to cover a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft X-rays to gamma-rays. After a successful launch on 2016 February 17, the spacecraft lost its function on 2016 March 26, but the commissioning phase for about a month provided valuable information on the on-board instruments and the spacecraft system, including astrophysical results obtained from first light observations. The paper describes the Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission, its capabilities, the initial operation, and the instruments/spacecraft performances confirmed during the commissioning operations for about a month.

Abstract

熱帯降雨観測衛星 (Tropoical Rainfall Measuring Mission：TRMM) に搭載されている降水レーダー (Precipitation Radar：PR) は，現在ある全球降水量マップ (例えば，Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP)等) に比べ，水平分解能が細かいため流域単位での詳細な降水量分布の把握が可能である．本研究では分水嶺付近の降水量分布の特性に関して，東南アジア領域を流れるイラワジ川流域，メコン川流域に着目し，4年季節平均を施したTRMM-PR データを使い解析を行った.その結果以下のことが明らかになった．1)．下層風と地形の交わり方が降水量に与える影響を調べた結果，下層風が地形と直交する場合に降水量が最も多かった．また平均降水頻度，降水量，降水強度は，すべてのType で標高依存性を示した．2)．標高・降水量の横断図解析から，降水量は地形の隆起が起こるより風上側から増加し，分水嶺の風上側で最大降水量を示す．山岳地域では， 降水量のピークは谷地形の位置と良い一致を示した．3)．風上側と風下側の降水量の差を規格化した指数，IPDD (Index of Precipitation Distribution over the Divide) と分水嶺の標高との関係が得られたが，同時に季節性，地域性も認められた．しかし， この結果から，バリア効果のように降水量分布の特徴を分ける分水嶺の標高の閾値があると言える．4)．本研究では，解析対象領域全体の分水嶺効果を表す一般的な関係を提示することはできなかった．しかし，本研究で算出されたIPDD は，水平分解能が粗い全球降水量マップから流域内降水量を推定する際応用可能な指標となり得ると思われる.

Abstract

Radiative heat transfer characteristics from the surface of a substance coated with a high-emissivity material have been examined from the measured two-dimensional (2D) temperature distribution using two-color thermometry principle. The technique utilized a charge coupled device camera and optical filters having either wide or narrow wavelength bandpass filters. The results obtained were compared to evaluate the accuracy of the temperature measurements. The 2D emissivity distributions were also derived from the measured 2D temperature distributions. The results indicate that the substrate coated with high-emissivity material exhibit high emission of radiation, resulting in effective cooling. The enhanced emissivity of materials also results in improved radiative heat transfer in heating furnaces and other high-temperature applications. The emissivity measured with the wide-bandpass filters increased with temperature. Atmospheric absorption, mainly due to humidity, made a negligible contribution to the total spectral intensity and to the temperature measurements. The small discrepancies are attributed to the dependence of emissivity on wavelength. Thus, the use of narrow-bandpass filters in thermometry is advantageous over the wide-bandpass ones.

Abstract

The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will investigate the physics of the high-energy universe via a suite of four instruments, covering a very wide energy range, from 0.3 keV to 600 keV. These instruments include a high-resolution, high-throughput spectrometer sensitive over 0.3-2 keV with high spectral resolution of Delta E < 7 eV, enabled by a micro-calorimeter array located in the focal plane of thin-foil X-ray optics; hard X-ray imaging spectrometers covering 5-80 keV, located in the focal plane of multilayer-coated, focusing hard X-ray mirrors; a wide-field imaging spectrometer sensitive over 0.4-12 keV, with an X-ray CCD camera in the focal plane of a soft X-ray telescope; and a non-focusing Compton-camera type soft gamma-ray detector, sensitive in the 40-600 keV band. The simultaneous broad bandpass, coupled with high spectral resolution, will enable the pursuit of a wide variety of important science themes., 22 pages, 17 figures, Proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Instrumentation "Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2012: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray"

Abstract

The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will investigate the physics of the high-energy universe by performing high-resolution, high-throughput spectroscopy with moderate angular resolution. ASTRO-H covers very wide energy range from 0.3 keV to 600 keV. ASTRO-H allows a combination of wide band X-ray spectroscopy (5-80 keV) provided by multilayer coating, focusing hard X-ray mirrors and hard X-ray imaging detectors, and high energy-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy (0.3-12 keV) provided by thin-foil X-ray optics and a micro-calorimeter array. The mission will also carry an X-ray CCD camera as a focal plane detector for a soft X-ray telescope (0.4-12 keV) and a non-focusing soft gamma-ray detector (40-600 keV) . The micro-calorimeter system is developed by an international collaboration led by ISAS/JAXA and NASA. The simultaneous broad bandpass, coupled with high spectral resolution of Delta E ~7 eV provided by the micro-calorimeter will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued., 18 pages, 12 figures, Proceedings of the SPIE Astronomical Instrumentation "Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2010: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray"

Abstract

In order to investigate the characteristics of the surface of substrates without destroying and touching them, two-dimensional (2D) surface brightness distributions have been measured with a CCD camera equipped with optical filter (700-800 nm). The images measured with each wavelength gave 2D temperature distributions by two-color thermometry. In addition 2D emissivity distributions were also derived from the derived 2D temperature distribution and the measured images. We demonstrate the convenience and usefulness of this method for heated materials with different surface roughness or with and without coasting of high emissivity material.

Abstract

A hard-x-ray telescope is successfully produced for balloon observations by making use of depth-graded multilayers, or so-called supermirrors, with platinum-carbon (Pt/C) layer pairs. It consists of four quadrant units assembled in an optical configuration with a diameter of 40 cm and a focal length of 8 m. Each quadrant is made of 510 pieces of coaxially and confocally aligned supermirrors that significantly enhance the sensitivity in an energy range of 20-40 keV. The configuration of the telescope is similar to the x-ray telescope onboard Astro-E, but with a longer focal length. The reflectivity of supermirrors is of the order of 40% in the energy range concerned at a grazing angle of 0.2 deg. The effective area of a fully assembled telescope is 50 cm2 at 30 keV. The angular resolution is 2.37 arc min at half-power diameter 8.0 keV. The field of view is 12.6 arc min in the hard-x-ray region, depending somewhat on x-ray energies. We discuss these characteristics, taking into account the figure errors of reflectors and their optical alignment in the telescope assembly. This hard-x-ray telescope is unanimously afforded in the International Focusing Optics Collaboration for muCrab Sensitivity balloon experiment.

Abstract

We have been developing the high throughput hard X-ray telescope, using reflectors coated with the depth graded multilayer known as supermirror, which is considered to be a key technology for future satellite hard X-ray imaging missions. InFOC(mu) $S, the International Focusing Optics Collaboration for (mu) -Crab Sensitivity is the project of the balloon observation of a cosmic hard X-ray source with this type of hard X-ray telescope and CdZnTe pixel detector as a focal plane imager. For the fist InFOC(mu) S balloon experiment, we developed the hard X-ray telescope with outermost diameter of 40cm, focal length of 8m and energy band pass of 20-40 keV, for which Pt/C multilayer was used. From the pre-flight X-ray calibration, we confirmed its energy band and imaging capability of 2 arcmin HPD and 10 arcmin FOV of FWHM, and a effective area of 50 cm2 for 20-40 keV X-ray. We report the current status of our balloon borne experiment and performance of our hard X-ray telescope.

Abstract

Mass production of replicated thin aluminum x-ray reflecting foils for the InFOC(mu) S (International Focusing Optics Collaboration for Micro-Crab Sensitivity) balloon payload is complete, and the full mirror has been assembled. InFOC(mu) S is an 8-meter focal length hard x-ray telescope scheduled for first launch in July 2001 and will be the first instrument to focus and image x-rays at high energies (20-40 keV) using multilayer-based reflectors. The individual reflecting elements are replicated thin aluminum foils, in a conical approximation Wolter-I system similar to those built for ASCA and ASTRO-E. These previous imaging systems achieved half-power-diameters of 3.5 and 1.7-2.1 arcminutes respectively. The InFOC(mu) S mirror is expected to have angular resolution similar to the ASTRO-E mirror. The reflecting foils for InFOC(mu) S, however, utilize a vertically graded Pt/C multilayer to provide broad-band high-energy focusing. We present the results of our pre-flight characterization of the full mirror, including imaging and sensitivity evaluations. If possible, we will include imaging results from the first flight of a multilayer-based high-energy focusing telescope.

Abstract

To study characteristics of heated material surface over 600 K, non-contact measurements of two-dimensional (2D) distributions of temperature and emissivity are very useful for process monitoring in engineerings, because of remote sensing in a short time. The 2D temperature distributions enable us to monitor the surface temperature quantitatively with high spatial resolution. The 2D emissivity distributions give us a capability to judge thermal degradations or defects of the surface. The 2D distributions of temperature and emissivity determined by two-color method using a CCD camera and two optical filters have been already reported by many authors. In this study, a four-color method is proposed to improve accuracy and precision of the temperature and emissivity. Four optical filters with narrow bandpass of 10 nm were used for our measurements, because the thermometry using narrow band is advantageous over that using wide one in terms of accuracy of temperature determination. Distributions of temperature and emissivity were also determined by two-color method for comparison. The results obtained by the four-color method have higher accuracy and precision than two-color method and we can recognize that several conditions of the material surface are clearly illustrated by the resultant 2D emissivity distribution.
