In a search for low surface brightness radio nebulae using the ASKAP-EMU survey, we discovered a faint radio shell, G289.6+5.8, and its central point radio source at the position of the soft gamma-ray source IGR J11187-5438. The central…

We report on XMM-Newton observations of G32.45+0.1 and G38.55+0.0. These were discovered as diffuse hard X-ray sources with the ASCA Galactic plane survey, but the limited spatial resolution of ASCA could not conclude whether these are…

We report the results of a survey of the Galactic Center region (|l| < 2deg, |b| < 0.5deg) performed with the BeppoSAX satellite. The flux from the center of our Galaxy corresponds to a luminosity of ~3 10^{35} erg/s in the 2-10 keV range.…

We performed a spatially resolved spectral X-ray study of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the supernova remnant G0.9+0.1. Furthermore we modeled its nonthermal emission in the X-ray and very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray regime.…

We have investigated the field around the radio-quiet $\gamma$-ray pulsar, PSR J2021+4026, with a ~140 ks XMM-Newton observation and a ~56 ks archival Chandra data. Through analyzing the pulsed spectrum, we show that the X-ray pulsation is…

We present results of the Suzaku/XIS observation around the radio supernova remnant (SNR) G12.0-0.1. No significant diffuse emission extending in or along the radio shell was observed. Instead two compact X-ray sources, Suzaku J181205-1835…

Based on the data from the observation of the SNR G327.1-1.1 by ASCA and ROSAT, we find that G327.1-1.1 is a composite remnant with both a nonthermal emission component and a diffuse thermal emission component. The nonthermal component is…
