A new life in SRON, Utrecht, NL

On 2000-2, I moved to SRON, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I got a post-doc position to work on XMM-Newton RGS instrument and data of X-ray clusters.
I worked as a member of the RGS team along with Drs. J.S.Kaastra, J.W.den Herder, and C. de Vries, J.Bleeker and other staff.

I had worked at SRON for three years. I liked this position very much.

Post-doc @ ISAS

from 1998-4-1 to 2000-1 (1 year and 9 month).
I worked at ISAS as a post-doc.
I mainly worked on Astro-E development for the launch on 2000 Feb.

First I belonged to Prof. Makino then to Prof. Mitsuda.

abstract
ABSTRACT. X-ray spectral and imaging data from ASCA and ROSAT were used to measure the total mass profile in the central region of Abell 1060, a nearby and relatively poor cluster of galaxies. The ASCA X-ray spectra, after being corrected for the spatial response of the X-ray telescope, show an isothermal distribution of the intracluster medium (ICM) within at least ~12' (or 160 h kpc; H₀ = 70 h₇₀ km s^-1 Mpc^-1) in radius of the cluster center. The azimuthally averaged surface brightness profile from the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) exhibits a central excess above an isothermal β model. The ring-sorted ASCA Gas Imaging Spectrometer spectra and the radial surface brightness distribution from the ROSAT PSPC were simultaneously utilized to constrain the gravitational potential profile. Some analytic models of the total mass density profile were examined. The ICM density profile was also specified by analytic forms. The ICM temperature distribution was constrained to satisfy the hydrostatic equilibrium and to be consistent with the data. Then, the total mass distribution was found to be described better by the universal dark halo profile recently proposed by Navarro, Frenk, & White than by a King-type model with a flat density core. A profile with a central cusp together with a logarithmic radial slope of ~1.5 was also consistent with the data. Discussions are presented concerning the estimated dark matter distribution around the cluster center.

Join to Makishima-Lab at Tokyo University

名古屋大学を卒業。
東京大学理学系研究科　修士課程に入学。

初めは、下宿で暮らしたが、すぐに豊島寮に入りました。

After educating Nagoya University on 1993-3,
from 1993-4, I started master-degree study at Makishima Laboratory at Tokyo University.
For five years, I had studied at Hongo campus, Tokyo, Japan.
This was really nice life.

Enter Nagoya University

sitionI entered Nagoya University, faculty of Science on 1998-4-1.

名古屋大学理学部入学。
幸運にも、共通一次だけの推薦合格でした。
