High-sensitivity wide-band X-ray spectroscopy is the key feature of the Suzaku X-ray observatory,
launched on 2005 July 10. This paper summarizes the spacecraft, in-orbit performance…

The Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) mission is the first astronomical payload to be
installed on the Japanese Experiment Module — Exposed Facility (JEM-EF or Kibo-EF) on the …

The Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board Suzaku covers a wide energy range from 10 keV
to 600 keV by the combination of silicon PIN diodes and GSO scintillators. The HXD is …

The in-orbit performance and calibration of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board the X-ray
astronomy satellite Suzaku are described. Its basic performances, including a wide energy …

Suzaku Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) achieved the lowest background level than any other
previously or currently operational missions sensitive in the energy range of 10–600 keV, by …

The Gas Slit Camera (GSC) is an X-ray instrument on the MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray
Image) mission aboard the International Space Station. It is designed to scan the entire sky …

Background/Aims: We analyzed the expressions of hexokinase II (HK II), a key enzyme in
glycolysis, and VEGF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver cancer in relation …

Artificial post-graphene elemental 2D materials have received much attention recently.
Especially, stanene, the tin analogue of graphene, is expected to be a robust 2D topological …

We report on the in-orbit performance of the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) on the MAXI (Monitor of
All-sky X-ray Image) mission carried on the International Space Station (ISS). Its …

We investigated the formation of LH receptor (LHR) in cumulus cells surrounding porcine
oocytes and the role of LHR in meiotic maturation of oocytes. At least three splice variants of …
