Research Abstract

Suzaku follow-up observations of active galactic nuclei detected with Swift/BAT gave us new insights into the torus structure around the supermassive black hole. The results have been published in four papers. We have performed onboard calibration and data analysisof Monitor of All X-ray Image (MAXI) mission, and have published two papers as initial results. Also, we have published the final X-ray source catalog in the Subaru/XMM-Newton deep field based on a systematic analysis of the X-ray data.
