The Einstein Probe (EP) is a space X-ray observatory designed to detect mainly high-energy transient and variable sources in the universe. It aims at detecting such sources at unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution in the soft X-ray band and performing quick onboard follow-up observations in X-rays. The Einstein Probe is a project led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in...
Eintein Probe (EP) is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability, and was lauched on January 9, 2024. It carried out a series of performance verification and calibration observation after launch and had begun scientific observations since late July. By now, EP has detected more than 30 fast X-ray transients, and long-term transients of different...
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) project was initiated in 2018. Following the development of onboard components, the proto-flight was conducted from 2021 to 2023 at JAXA Tsukuba Space Center. The spacecraft was launched from JAXA Tanegashima Space Center on September 7, 2023, and onboard components, including the observation instruments, were activated during the four months...
We develop a new deconvolution method to recover the Crab Nebula image taken by the Hitomi HXT. To suppress the artifact due to the bright Crab pulsar located at the center of the Crab Nebula, we extend the Richardson-Lucy method. Here, we introduce two components corresponding to the nebula and pulsar with regularization for smoothness and flux, respectively, and we perform simultaneous...
