This paper reports the Suzaku results on the northeast shell of RCW 86. With the spatial and spectral analysis, we separated the X-rays into three distinct components; low (kT_e~0.3keV) and high (kT_e~1.8keV) temperature plasmas and a non-thermal component, and discovered their spatial distributions are different from each other. The low temperature plasma is dominated at the east rim, whereas the non-thermal emission is the brightest at the northeast rim which is spatially connected from the east rim. The high temperature plasma, found to contain the ~6.42keV line (K alpha of low-ionized iron), is enhanced at the inward region with respect to the east rim and has no spatial correlation with the non-thermal X-ray (the northeast). The Fe-Kalpha line, therefore, is not related to the non-thermal emission but originates from Fe-rich ejecta heated to the high temperatures by the reverse shock. Since the metal abundances of the low temperature plasma are sub-solar, the most possible origin of this component is interstellar medium heated by a blast wave. The non-thermal X-ray, which has a power-law index of ~2.8, is likely to be synchrotron emission. A possible scenario to explain these morphologies and spectra is: A fast moving blast wave in a thin cavity of OB association collided with a dense interstellar medium or cloud at the east region very recently. As the result, the reverse shock in this interior decelerated, and arrived at the Fe-rich region of the ejecta and heated it. In the northeast rim, on the other hand, the blast wave is still moving fast, and accelerated high energy electrons to emit synchrotron X-rays.

We have carried out optical observations of the north-eastern part of the supernova remnant IC 443 using the CFHT imaging spectrograph SITELLE. The observations consist of three multispectral cubes covering an 11$^{prime}$ $times$11$^{prime}$ area al
lowing the investigation of both the spatial and spectral variation of 9 emission lines : [OII] $lambdalambda$3726+3729, [OIII] $lambdalambda$4959,5007, H$beta$, H$alpha$, [NII] $lambdalambda$6548,6583 and [SII] $lambdalambda$6716,6731. Extinction measurement from the H$alpha$ / H$beta$ ratio shows significant variation across the observed region with E(B-V) = 0.8-1.1. Electron density measurements using [SII] lines indicate densities ranging from 100 up to 2500 cm$^{-3}$. Models computed with the shock modelling code MAPPINGS are presented and compared with the observations. A combination of complete shock model and truncated ones are required in order to explain the observed spectrum. The shock velocities found in IC 443 are between 20 and 150 km/s with 75 km/s being the most prominent velocity. The pre-shock number density varies from 20 to 60 cm$^{-3}$. A single set of abundances close to solar values combined with varying shock parameters (shock velocity, pre-shock density and shock age) are sufficient to explain to great variation of lines intensities observed in IC 443. Despite the relatively modest spectral resolution of the data (R$sim 1500$ at H$alpha$), we clearly separate the red and blue velocity components of the expanding nebula, which show significant morphological differences.
We present the results of a spatially resolved spectral analysis from four Suzaku observations covering the northeastern rim of the Cygnus Loop. A two-kT_e non-ionization equilibrium (NEI) model fairly well represents our data, which confirms the NEI
condition of the plasma there. The metal abundances are depleted relative to the solar values almost everywhere in our field of view. We find abundance inhomogeneities across the field: the northernmost region (Region A) has enhanced absolute abundances compared with other regions. In addition, the relative abundances of Mg/O and Fe/O in Region A are lower than the solar values, while those in the other regions are twice higher than the solar values. As far as we are concerned, neither a circumstellar medium, fragments of ejecta, nor abundance inhomogeneities of the local interstellar medium around the Cygnus Loop can explain the relatively enhanced abundance in Region A. This point is left as an open question for future work.
This paper reports on the Suzaku results of thermal and non-thermal features of 30 Dor C, a supernova remnant (SNR) in a superbubble of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The west rim exhibits a non-thermal X-ray spectrum with no thermal component. A
single power-law model is rejected but a power-law model with spectral cutoff is accepted. The cutoff frequency of $(3-7)times 10^{17}$ Hz is the highest among the shell type SNRs like SN 1006 ($sim 6times 10^{16}$ Hz), and hence 30 Dor C would be the site of the highest energy accelerator of the SNR shock. The southeast (SE) and northeast (NE) rims have both the thermal and non-thermal components. The thin-thermal plasmas in the both rims are in collisional ionization equilibrium state. The electron temperature of the plasma in the SE rim ($kT_e sim 0.7$ keV) is found to be higher than the previously reported value. The power-law index from SE is nearly the same as, while that from the NE is larger than that of the West rim. The SNR age would be in the range of $(4-20)times 10^3$ yr. Thus, 30 Dor C is likely to be the oldest shell-like SNR with non-thermal emission.
HESS J1507-622 is one of the bright unidentified TeV objects. HESS J1507-622 is unique, since the location of the object is off the Galactic disk. We observed the HESS J1507-622 region with the Suzaku XIS, and found no obvious counterpart although th
ere is no severe interstellar extinction. However, there are two interesting X-ray objects; SRC1 is a bright extended source, and SRC2 is a faint diffuse object. If either of them is a counterpart, the flux ratio between TeV and X-ray is large, and HESS J1507-622 is a real dark particle accelerator.
We report results from a 2007 Suzaku observation of the Seyfert 1 AGN NGC 4593. The narrow Fe K alpha emission line has a FWHM width ~4000 km/s, indicating emission from >~ 5000 Rg. There is no evidence for a relativistically broadened Fe K line, con
sistent with the presence of a radiatively efficient outer disk which is truncated or transitions to an interior radiatively inefficient flow. The Suzaku observation caught the source in a low-flux state; compared to a 2002 XMM observation, the hard X-ray flux decreased by 3.6, while the Fe K alpha line intensity and width each roughly halved. Two model-dependent explanations for the changes in Fe line profile are explored. In one, the Fe line width has decreased from ~10000 to ~4000 km/s from 2002 to 2007, suggesting that the thin disk truncation/transition radius has increased from 1000-2000 to >~5000 Rg. However, there are indications from other compact accreting systems that such truncation radii tend to be associated only with accretion rates relative to Eddington much lower than that of NGC 4593. In the second (preferred) model, the line profile in the XMM observation consists of a time-invariant narrow component plus a broad component originating from the inner part of the truncated disk (~300 Rg) which has responded to the drop in continuum flux. The Compton reflection component strength R is ~1.1, consistent with the measured Fe K alpha line total EQW with an Fe abundance 1.7 times solar. The modest soft excess has fallen by a factor of ~20 from 2002 to 2007, ruling out emission from a region 5 lt-yr in size.
