We aim to investigate the boundary layer structure with SS Cyg, the brightest dwarf nova, by means of a soft X-ray component with the BI CCD, a fluorescent Fe K-alpha line with the FI CCDs, and a continuum reflection by the white dwarf surface with the HXD PIN. It is of great use to observe states of a different mass accretion rate, and hence we propose to observe both in quiescence and in outburst.

Our goal is to map the physical conditions in the accretion disk as the source evolves through the various continuum states using the spectral diagnostics available in the Fe K fluorescence emission. Measurements of the Fe K emission will allow us to quantify the thermal, kinematic, and geometric conditions in both the disk and the surrounding material. Correlating the Fe K diagnostics with sensitive measurements of the direct and reprocessed continuum emission will allow us to map the evolving conditions and constrain models of the dynamic accretion processes in black hole binaries. We will monitor 7 targets with the RXTE. This observation will be triggered when one becomes active.

Our goals are: 1) to obtain and study the highest resolution x-ray CCD spectra of Jupiter's planetary x-ray emission, including separation into auroral and low-latitude components; and 2) to fully characterize the high energy (>1 keV) auroral component recently discovered in 2003 XMM-Newton data. These spectral studies will provide greater understanding of the physical properties of, and physical processes occurring in, the planet's magnetosphere.

Such a class would have played an important role in the growth of black holes in a cosmological context.

Fe fluorescence is produced by illumination of the photosphere by ionizing coronal X-rays and its intensity depends on the height of the X-ray source. We propose to observe Fe fluorescence in the single G-type giant HR 9024 and in the active RS CVn system II Peg to obtain a direct geometrical constraint on the scale height of their coronal structures. These two stars have the brightest Fe fluorescence features of all the late-type stars observed by the Chandra-HETGS and their different stellar parameters (stellar radius, gravity, multiplicity,..) and evolutionary stage will allow us to probe the typical coronal scale for significantly different conditions.

The high-sensitivity broadband coverage provided by Suzaku will be used to follow the evolution of the boundary layer and study other phenomena that might constrain the accretion flow properties.

This is larger than Galactic interstellar column density and much larger than the optical extinction would imply, so the absorbing material must be concentrated on X-ray source. These may form an entirely new class with a common origin, or may simply be the highly obscured tail of the distribution of High and Low Mass X-ray Binaries. We propose to observe three these sources along with two new possibilities from the Swift BAT survey. Our goal is to observe the hard X-rays with the HXD and Fe K lines with the XIS to simultaneously measure the total flux, column density, and line strengths, in order to better understand the physics behind these intriguing new sources.

EV Lac undergoes frequent small flares, and is known to have undergone a very large flare at ~300 times the quiescent count rate in 2000. Coronal abundance changes shed light on the process of chromospheric evaporation under conditions different to those on the Sun. Depending on the size and spectrum of the flare, we may also be able to detect a hard burst of emission that would serve as a time marker for particle acceleration during the flare.

However, current estimates of the integrated X-ray luminosity of dwarf novae are highly uncertain and are based on samples that may contain significant biases. We need to obtain an unbiased X-ray luminosity function of dwarf novae to estimate the true contribution of dwarf novae to the unresolved Galactic X-ray emission. Here we propose short Suzaku observations of dwarf novae with secure, parallax-based distance estimates that have not been the subject of pointed, imaging, X-ray observations in the 0.5-10 keV band. This will be an important check of potential biases in earlier studies.

Current data are unable to deliver a clear answer, but the diagnostics possible in a long observation will be decisive. We request a 500 ks observation of the ULX Holmberg IX X-1 to place crucial constraints on atomic features that would signal a super-Eddington flow. Detecting or ruling out atomic features naturally requires a deep exposure. The strong spectral constraints derived will reveal the nature of the accreting black holes in these systems. A definitive statement on the existence of 100-1000 Msun black holes or extreme accretion states will be an important Suzaku legacy.

This work was performed on X-ray transient, and we need to test the model on the main population of persistent atolls. Our preferred model involves a resurrection of the double-thermal model for the soft state. The results have ramifications for such issues as neutron star ISCOs, the structure of the accretion boundary layer, and the radiative efficiency of the hard state (jets). Suzaku instruments can test and refine the model directly, with a focus on spectral fits rather than a reliance on model performance arguments. We propose to supplement the Suzaku monitoring archive begun in AO-1 by targeting the two persistent atolls with the greatest X-ray variability.

Over the past few years, INTEGRAL has found a surprising number of HMXBs, and the large number of new, locally absorbed supergiant HMXBs indicate that these wind-accretors are more common than previously thought. In addition to high column densities, some of these systems have other extreme properties such as slowly rotating neutron stars (NSs) or rapid X-ray flares. For the systems we propose to observe, detection of pulsations is important for establishing the presence of a NS and for constraining the spin period distribution for HMXB NSs. As these are strong hard X-ray emitters, we will take advantage of Suzaku's broadband capabilities.

This star has a highly structured surface magnetic field at around 500 G, and its unusually hard emission has been associated with wind confinement in closed magnetic loops. Our proposal is to test this claim. The surface field sports a torus-like structure of closed loops with a magnetic axis that is tilted by nearly 90 degrees from the stellar rotation axis. We selected six phases to optimize the detection of hard X-ray variability from occultation of hot plasma confined in the torus field arrangement as it rotates about the star. The Suzaku data will be important for confronting models of interactions between line-driven winds and magnetic fields in massive stars.

Suzaku observations showed it emits three bright iron lines, with almost no emission in the 0.5-2 keV bandpass. The PI has an approved 100 ksec Chandra HETG observation in 2008 to determine the origin of the iron lines and measure any weak emission lines. With simultaneous Suzaku observations we will also measure the hard X-ray emission from the source, both to constrain the continuum and detect any non-thermal component. The effective areas of the XIS and HXD will constrain the broadband emission process much better than the HETG data. Combined with simultaneous optical observations of the Mira-type star we will determine the origin of this star's unusual emission.

The unique features of V773 Tau's X-ray and radio properties (frequent X-ray flaring of highly energetic flares, extreme nonthermal radio emission) mark it as one of the most active young stars. We seek coordinated Suzaku and mm wavelength observations to probe the interplay between the hot plasma and the stellar environment. We focus on utilizing the unique capabilities of Suzaku, namely the spectral resolution and sensitivity at 5--10 keV, to elucidate the properties of its hot plasma and its potential effects on the stellar environment such as detecting Fe fluorescence.

This emission provides key clues to the way extremely massive stars lose mass. We propose to observe this hard X-ray emission with Suzaku after the periastron passage in order to measure the intrinsic luminosity of the wind-wind shock to determine the density of the wind near the shock boundary, and to measure the absorbing column to indicate the density profile in the distorted wind of the primary star. In addition HXD observations will measure any excess emission up to energies of 40 keV to constrain the amount of particle acceleration in the shock by the first order Fermi process and to help resolve the discrepancy between published BeppoSAX and INTEGRAL measurements.

Centered on Feb 4 2008, a dramatic increase in the X-ray flux was also observed. The lack of correlation between the X-ray flux and the torque applied to the neutron star before the transition, challenges our understanding of the physical mechanisms operating in this system. The main goal of this proposal is to look for changes in the long term flux behavior, energy spectra, pulse profile, line features and power spectra with the current evolution in 4U1626-67 s spin-up rate. In addition, we wish to determine whether the absence of the QPO observed just after the torque reversal persist.

It is one of only two persistently soft state BHC, and has the highest fitted temperature, and highest fitted spin parameter, of any observed BHC. The question arises of whether this high spin is a good estimate of the true spin, or whether this high temperature is evidence of a low level or corona or wind. The multiple Suzaku observations will allow us to track how the disk parameters change, and offer us a 40% chance of observing a state with a large coronal component. The latter might be indicative of launching of a disk wind. GALACTIC POINT SOURCES 4 B MICHAEL NOWAK USA 5 AO5 4U1957+11: THE MOST RAPIDLY SPINNING BLACK HOLE?

Our Suzaku Cycle 5 observation confirms it to be an absorbed hard X-ray source, powered by accretion. It is thus a nearby, lower accretion rate analogue of the hard X-ray bright symbiotic stars such as T CrB and CH Cyg. During Suzaku Cycle 6, 4 Dra is near apastron and near the inferior conjunction of the accreting white dwarf: both these should reduce the absorption due to the M giant, while absorption by the accretion flow near the white dwarf should remain roughly comparable. We therefore propose a second Suzaku observation of 4 Dra to constrain the relative contributions of these two X-ray absorbers, and to obtain a high signal-to-noise spectrum of a symbiotic star boundary layer near 1 keV.

This object has an extraordinarily long spin period, ~5 hour, attributed to the neutron star (NS) rotation, making 4U 1954+31 the slowest-rotating accreting NS binary. It raises a question about its binary evolution, since a slowly rotating NS orbiting an M-type giant is quite unique. As to its large variability, the popular clumpy wind model has not yet become a smoking-gun, and we propose an alternative hypothesis that the NS is a magnetar descendent captured by an M-type giant in their closer encounter. Known X-ray properties of 4U~1954+31 will be revisited in a view of gated accretion onto the strongly magnetized NS. A 60 ks Suzaku observation can examine these scenarios.

We expect that the higher the mass, the higher the temperature and luminosity. Existing data appear consistent with this expectation, given the considerable uncertainties usually associated with the white dwarf masses of individual systems. Here we propose Suzaku observations of 5 dwarf novae for which very high or very low white dwarf mass estimates have been published. These targets provide the best opportunity of further establishing the mass-temperature correlation. Moreover, if the mass estimates are reliable, these targets are of interest from evolutionary considerations - how did these systems form with such high/low mass white dwarfs, and what are their ultimate fates?

They are usually soft X-ray bright and hard X-ray dim, due to either buried shocks or strong cyclotron cooling, depending on system parameters. However, a small subset of polars have been detected as bright hard X-ray sources in INTEGRAL and Swift BAT surveys. As a part of an effort to understand the hard-to-soft X-ray luminosity ratios of polars in general, and specifically to understand what combination of parameters make some polars hard X-ray bright, we propose Suzaku observations of two poorly studied BAT polars, Swift J2319.4+2619 and IW Eri, supported by ground-based observations including optical polarimetry.

Earlier XMM-Newton, Suzaku and INTEGRAL observations found interesting features in the extremely hard X-ray band: i) a flat spectral component above 9 keV toward the flux maximum; ii) strong 15-20 keV emission during an occultation of the wind-wind colliding plasma; iii) stable power-law emission above 25 keV. These features are signs of the highest energy processes yet detected in any colliding wind binary. Broad band X-ray observations around periastron are essential to understanding those features. We therefore propose Suzaku observations at 5 key phases around the next periastron passage of eta Carinae in 2014.6.

Recently, it has been proposed that X-ray binaries in early galaxies made a significant contribution to reionization. Early galaxies had low metallicity and the best local analogs are blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) with low metallicity. We propose to observe two such galaxies known to be luminous in X-rays and accurately measure their spectra with the Suzaku XIS. These observations are important to our understanding of reionization and the formation of early galaxies.

Along with our multi-wavelength, radio to X-ray, program, Suzaku observations can constrain theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet?

These dense, dark-matter-dominated systems are carefully selected as the strongest potential sources of line emission from radiatively decaying keV dark matter of any astrophysical object. The low-level, stable Suzaku background makes it the most sensitive instrument to-date for this purpose. At the very least, constraints that enter a significant new regime are derived: non-detections are still of great importance. In the best case, the long sought-after identity of dark matter will be discovered, pointing the way to physics beyond the Standard Model.

Our targets are spatially resolved by Chandra and are chosen to minimize point-source contamination of the Suzaku group spectra. The XIS data will significantly expand the sample of groups with known temperature in this redshift range, and so will improve constraints on group evolution mechanisms. We will use the existing, deep multicolor imaging and 20,000-object spectroscopic catalog for Bootes to study the effect of local environment on group properties, as well as the relationship between optically-selected and X-ray selected groups, for the first time in this redshift range.

These objects are arguably the best local laboratories to study the basic physical processes involved in creating massive early type hosts on the one hand, and feeding embedded supermassive black holes on the other hand, in major galaxy mergers.

In these sources, the spin of the black hole can be constrained directly through fits to the relativistic iron line. A sample of excellent spectra from well-chosen AGN will facilitate a better understanding of the innermost regime near to black holes, and make correlations with parameters like radio luminosity, star formation rate, and galaxy and black hole mass possible for the first time. We propose to obtain observations of 4 under-exposed Seyfert AGN with promising evidence for broad lines to robustly constrain their spin parameters.

MBM20 absorbs about 75% of the foreground emission in the keV energy band, while the Eridanus Hole absorbs only 8%.

Understanding the gamut of ICM properties, however, requires X-ray observations of samples chosen independently of their X-ray characteristics; likewise, such samples provide a powerful tool for quantifying redshift evolution in cluster properties. We have amassed X-ray observations of 19 optically-selected clusters of galaxies, half at z~0.3 and half at z~0.8. Here we propose 6 additional observations in order to uniformly span a total redshift range of 0.15<z<0.9, for the purposes of constraining cluster evolution with a wholly unbiased sample.

Recent Swift/XRT observations reveal that early X-ray afterglows of GRB has flat portion with very shallow decay. It may suggest continuous energy input from the central engine. The transition from its phase to general afterglow may display hard-to-soft evolution reflecting the cooling frequency. Thus multi wavelength observation will provide a key to the physics of central engine activity. (ii) Emission lines in the afterglows. The confirmation of line existence should be a matter of great importance because there remains unanswered questions. Some data may indicate a prominent iron line but others seem to suggest significant lower energy lines instead without iron lines.

Such a spectral feature can be induced by non-thermal electrons in the impulsive flare phase, or by X-rays of the very hot flare plasma. The hard X-ray detectors will be used to detect non-thermal bremsstrahlung expected when a beam of non-thermal electrons (typically observed in the radio) impacts the dense chromosphere. We will also study the coronal element composition and its temporal evolution during the flare. Finally, we will attempt coordination with the Australian Telescope to monitor the non-thermal electron population, without any timing constraint for Suzaku.

Their X-ray emission is typically very soft. Recently, however, 4 symbiotics have been detected out to almost 100 keV. Suzaku observations of two of these sources revealed that the hard X-rays emanated from an extremely hot thermal plasma. One means of producing such hot gas is accretion onto a near Chandrasekhar-mass WD. We propose to use the unique capabilities of Suzaku to test this hypothesis. We will use broad-band X-ray spectral fitting to determine the temperature of the hot plasma, hard X-ray timing studies to search for or constrain rapid variations due to either magnetic or non-magnetic accretion, and Fe line diagnostics to investigate the role of scattering.

If FGs are assembled at higher redshift, there is enough time for intermediate-luminosity galaxies to merge, resulting in the formation of the brightest system galaxy. We carry out the first, systematic study of a large sample of FGs, the ``FOssil Group Origins'' (FOGO) based on an International Time Project at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. For ten FOGO FGs we propose to measure the temperature of the hot intracluster gas (ICM) and to evaluate Lx-Tx, Lopt-Tx, and sigmaV-Tx relations as compared to the non fossil systems. By combining these observations with hydrodynamical simulations we will open a new window into the study of the ICM and the nature of fossil systems.

This bright NLSy1 also shows extreme spectral variability, with the low state being dominated by a hard, constant reflection component, probably from cool distant material. We propose to measure the spectrum above 10 keV; the hot component should vary with the continuum, the cold distant component should be constant, and we can measure their relative contributions to test the predictions of the lower-energy analysis.

We will test the prediction that prolific star formation is responsible for the soft X-ray emission from a Compton thick AGN that also contains a powerful circumnuclear starburst. The AGN's deep obscuration facilitates the soft X-ray measurements, and Compton thick AGN are generally significant, both as a large fraction of the local AGN population and for their contribution to the X-ray background. Furthermore, we will use the direct measurement of the intrinsic AGN luminosity to test unified AGN models and the validity of indirect luminosity indicators.

Shorter observations of this galaxy with XMM-Newton, Chandra and Suzaku showcase several remarkable physical traits: (1) FeXXV and FeXXVI K-shell absorption lines (the highest s/n detection so far among AGN), (2) rapidly varying cold absorption, (3) a highly significant relativistic Fe K emission line, and (4) a factor ~4 excess flux at high energies.

The nearby Seyfert ESO 511-G30 is a prime candidate for fulfilling this role due to its broad Fe K component and lack of any intrinsic warm absorption. It is also one of the X-ray brightest bare Seyferts featured in the Swift 58 month BAT catalogue as yet unobserved with Suzaku. We propose a 270 ks Suzaku observation of ESO 511-G30 to unambiguously constrain the properties of the accretion disk and subsequently the black hole spin. In addition, the HXD data will allow us to measure the Compton reflection hump, while the excellent soft X-ray spectral resolution of XIS will allow the origin of the soft excess to be determined.

The ejecta are seen in optical emission, and enhanced X-ray oxygen line emission is detected but not localized. Puppis A has never been surveyed with an adequate combination of bandpass and spectral resolution, and Suzaku offers a unique capability for providing such observations. The line emission will also provide diagnostics of plasma conditions throughout the remnant through their intensity ratios in addition to conventional broadband spectral fits.

The combination of absorption and emission measurements provides a powerful tool in this regard. Instead of average emission and absorption measures used in previous studies, one immediate step forward would be to use emission measures close to absorption sightlines. With proposed observations we will determine emission measures close to five sightlines in which we have the most accurate absorption measurements with Chandra. This will break the degeneracy between density and path-length and robustly measure the extent and mass of the warm-hot halo, placing strongest constraints yet on the fraction of missing baryons in the warm-hot plasma.

Most of the studies on regular cluster outskirts are limited to cool core clusters but not many were studied for "regular" non-cool core clusters. We propose a 170 ks Suzaku observation of a regular non-cool core cluster Abell 2259. Physical properties such as density and temperature will be studied around the virial radius. These data can place important constraints on theoretical models of clusters and their environments. We will compare results to cool core clusters and test models for pre-heating, shock heating, thermal conduction, e-p equipartition, and non-equilibrium ionization. The low Suzaku background allows this measurement.

The clusters, two at z ~ 1.0 and two at z ~ 0.75, are chosen from an initial mass-limited sample identified by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) cluster project, and they are among the most massive high-redshift clusters known. Chandra observations have verified the absence of point sources in these targets. The proposed Suzaku observations will increase the X-ray cluster counts by a factor of four, they will yield the most precise ICM abundance measurements at these redshifts to date, and they will provide a path-finder for future Suzaku studies of large, representative samples of high-redshift clusters.

This emission provides key clues to the way extremely massive stars lose mass. We propose to observe this hard X-ray emission with Suzaku after the periastron passage in order to measure the intrinsic luminosity of the wind-wind shock to determine the density of the wind near the shock boundary, and to measure the absorbing column to indicate the density profile in the distorted wind of the primary star. In addition HXD observations will measure any excess emission up to energies of 40 keV to constrain the amount of particle acceleration in the shock by the first order Fermi process and to help resolve the discrepancy between published BeppoSAX and INTEGRAL measurements.

Observations made in the first two years of the NuSTAR mission have raised the interesting possibility that the inner disk inclination may differ from the orbital inclination, and this could occur if the black hole spin is misaligned.

This is larger than Galactic interstellar column density and much larger than the optical extinction would imply, so the absorbing material must be concentrated on X-ray source. These may form an entirely new class with a common origin, or may simply be the highly obscured tail of the distribution of High and Low Mass X-ray Binaries. We propose to observe three these sources along with two new possibilities from the Swift BAT survey.

Our goal is to map the physical conditions in the accretion disk as the source evolves through the various continuum states using the spectral diagnostics available in the Fe K fluorescence emission. Measurements of the Fe K emission will allow us to quantify the thermal, kinematic, and geometric conditions in both the disk and the surrounding material. Correlating the Fe K diagnostics with sensitive measurements of the direct and reprocessed continuum emission will allow us to map the evolving conditions and constrain models of the dynamic accretion processes in black hole binaries. We will monitor 7 targets with the RXTE. This observation will be triggered when one becomes active.

We propose to obtain 110 ksec (3 day elapsed time) observations of the RS CVn systems Sigma^2 CrB (F6V + G0V) and Sigma Gem (K0III +?). Our goals are i) to better characterize their hard (> 10 keV) emission, ii) to understand the origin of coronal thermal and nonthermal plasma by studying the evolution of the coronal thermal structure, and iii) to investigate the persistent and flaring nonthermal electron population using a combination of X-ray and radio cm+mm continuum data.

Doppler shifts expected at the inner disk around such neutron stars should be very similar, and should produce relativistic FeK-alpha emission lines like those observed in some black hole systems. To date, however, relativistically broadened FeK-alpha emission lines have not been clearly detected in neutron star systems, in part because their lines are generally weaker than those found in black hole systems. We propose to observe the neutron star binaries 4U 1820-30, Cygnus X-2, and Serpens X-1 for 37 ksec each in Suzaku Cycle 1, to confirm possible evidence of relativistic broadening. Relativistic phenomena and accretion studies are central to NASA's ``SEU'' theme.

In neutron star LMXBs, the boundary layer may hold additional key information for distinguishing between various proposed models for the hard state spectrum. With the aim to improve our understanding of the evolution of the boundary layer, we propose to observe the neutron star LMXB 4U 1636-536 with Suzaku in different spectral states. The high-sensitivity broadband coverage provided by Suzaku will be used to follow the evolution of the boundary layer and study other phenomena that might constrain the accretion flow properties.

Making use of Suzaku's unique broad band capabilities, we will also perform pulse phase spectroscopy of the cyclotron line and study the parameters of the fundamental and first harmonic cyclotron lines, as 4U1907+09 is one of the few accreting neutron stars where two cyclotron lines lie within the energy range of the XIS and HXD-PIN detectors.

Over the past few years, INTEGRAL has found a surprising number of HMXBs, and the large number of new, locally absorbed supergiant HMXBs indicate that these wind-accretors are more common than previously thought. In addition to high column densities, some of these systems have other extreme properties such as slowly rotating neutron stars (NSs) or rapid X-ray flares. For the systems we propose to observe, detection of pulsations is important for establishing the presence of a NS and for constraining the spin period distribution for HMXB NSs. As these are strong hard X-ray emitters, we will take advantage of Suzaku's broadband capabilities.

One of the best laboratories for studying winds is in wind fed Supergiant High Mass X-ray binaries. Using the neutron star (NS) as a backlight, variable absorption in X-rays measures column density variations in the secondary star wind. A recent explosion in the number of known HMXBs has defined two additional subclasses of HMXBs, potentially related through geometry and wind properties: 1) heavily obscured sources and 2) so-called Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs). We propose observations of 2 obscured sgHMXBs and 2 SFXTs to monitor the column density. This will test wind models and probe whether these subclasses are related to one another and to classical HMXBs through wind parameters.

We expect that the higher the mass, the higher the temperature and luminosity. Existing data appear consistent with this expectation, given the considerable uncertainties usually associated with the white dwarf masses of individual systems. Here we propose Suzaku observations of 5 dwarf novae for which very high or very low white dwarf mass estimates have been published. These targets provide the best opportunity of further establishing the mass-temperature correlation. Moreover, if the mass estimates are reliable, these targets are of interest from evolutionary considerations - how did these systems form with such high/low mass white dwarfs, and what are their ultimate fates?

This correlation seems to be the most pronounced in the western direction where the temperature drops from about 10keV in the annulus spanning 35'-41' to only 1.7keV in the annulus spanning 50'-60'. The Planck Collaboration found a marked local steepening of the radial gradient of the SZ signal at this location and interpret this feature as a shock with a Mach number of about 2. Unfortunately, we currently lack X-ray coverage towards the W in this critical range of 41'-50'. We therefore propose two additional pointings with a total exposure time of 30ks, that will allow us to resolve the temperature gradient in this region.

Here, we propose a 100ksec observation of a magnetic cataclysmic valiable, AE Aqurii. It is difficult for INTEGRAL mission, and is challenging even for the HXD, but it will be a ``first detection'' of the non-thermal emission in the hard X-ray band from a white dwarf with Suzaku.

However, as the survey sensitivity improves, an increasing number of polars are also detected as hard X-ray sources, even though the majority of polars are soft X-ray bright and hard X-ray faint. Over the long term, we hope to understand why most polars are soft X-ray dominated, and why a subset is hard X-ray bright.

However, extensive optical observations also show a longer stable period of 3027s. The former is most likely the orbital period, and the latter the superhump period caused by the precession of an elliptical accretion disk at a period of 3.9 days, representing the beat period between optical and X-ray periods. The morphology of the X-ray dips does indeed change dramatically over several days, but existing data suggest a somewhat longer period for the dip morphology cycle of 4.7 days. Here we propose a 300ks Suzaku observation of XB1916-053 with as few interruptions as possible, to conduct a definitive timing and spectroscopic study of its disk emission and dipping activity.

After initial flaring in the 1970s, the source generally exhibited low flux levels and has only rarely been observed. We will constrain the broadband spectrum, check for signs of wind accretion (variable absorption, log-normal count rate distribution), search for an iron fluorescence line, update the pulse period evolution, and compare to other Suzaku observations of SyXBs, especially to a quiescent observation of the prototype SyXB 4U 1954+31.

Measurements of the Fe K emission will allow us to quantify the thermal, kinematic, and geometric conditions in both the disk and the surrounding material. Correlating the Fe K diagnostics with sensitive measurements of the direct and reprocessed continuum emission will allow us to map the evolving conditions and constrain models of the dynamic accretion processes in black hole binaries.

The LHB temperature is ~10^6 K, and in equilibrium we would expect no O VIII emission. However, the LHB is almost certainly not in equilibrium, and it is quite possible that significant O^{+7} is still recombining (and emitting O VIII) following its creation in the most recent local supernova 2-4 Myr ago. We propose to measure these lines from the LHB using the nearby molecular cloud MBM12 as a curtain to shadow more distant emission. Even if O VIII is not detected, the O VII measurement will be the first unambiguous measurement of a line from the LHB.

Ginga and ASCA observations reveal a hard emission component, interpreted as arising from shock-accelerated electrons, making this the oldest SNR in which shock acceleration has been found. Recent reanalysis of the ASCA data leaves ambiguity about the existence of this component. The importance of understanding the evolution of shock acceleration in SNRs makes vital confirming the existence of the hard component and localizing it. We propose 50 ks XIS observations of 3 locations to localize the hard component. Given its angular size, lack of small high contrast features, 0.4 keV thermal component with strong lines, and hard component, G156.2+5.7 is an ideal Suzaku target.

We propose Suzaku raster observations to map out the remnant.

Our goal is to map the physical conditions in the accretion disk as the source evolves through the various continuum states using the spectral diagnostics available in the Fe K fluorescence emission. Measurements of the Fe K emission will allow us to quantify the thermal, kinematic, and geometric conditions in both the disk and the surrounding material. Correlating the Fe K diagnostics with sensitive measurements of the direct and reprocessed continuum emission will allow us to map the evolving conditions and constrain models of the dynamic accretion processes in black hole binaries. We will monitor 7 targets with the RXTE. This observation will be triggered when one becomes active.

Recent observations suggest that such long structures may be associated with many other pulsars. Being the longest extended structures observed around Galactic compact objects. The physical processes responsible for the formation of such tails are not well understood, and the existing numerical models may only be valid at small distances from the pulsar. To determine the major factors governing the post-shock wind, we propose to observe the tail of PSR B1929+10, measure its full extent, map the surface brightness distribution, and perform spatially resolved spectroscopy. We will also measure the pulsar spectrum to study the properties of its polar caps.

The other is a very bright source first detected by MILAGRO in the Galactic plane, which has been shown to be a large, extended source by HESS.

As the chance coincidence is very unlikely, there should be a connection between the two. Furthermore, previous short Chandra observations of this field have revealed a large-scale asymmetric PWN extending toward the center of the TeV source. Thus, this is an excellent case for testing whether the unidentified TeV sources near young pulsars are, in fact, relic PWNe crushed by the asymmetric SNR reverse shock. We will probe the nature of the X-ray emission by measuring the surface brightness and spatially-resolved spectra across the large extent of the TeV source. Suzaku XIS is ideally suited for this purpose because of its low background.

In addition, we confirmed the existence of metal-rich ejecta in the central portion, but found no evidence of ejecta in the rim regions.

Joint spectral analyses of Suzaku and radio data will enable us to accurately and precisely measure the synchrotron spectral index and cutoff frequency, the electron temperature, the emission measure, and, perhaps, the relative elemental abundances.

Some of these progenitors are expected to significantly modify ambient medium around them prior to SN explosions. A standard Type Ia SNR model, a white dwarf explosion in a uniform ambient medium, fails to account for bright Fe-rich ejecta and faint blast waves seen in majority of Type Ia SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds. A promising explanation involves presence of dense circumstellar medium (CSM) around their progenitors. We propose a Suzaku study of 4 mature Type Ia SNRs in the LMC, with the goal of determining chemical abundances, temperatures and ionization ages within their ejecta. This will allow us to construct dynamical SNR models, and learn about their CSM and progenitors.

In addition to these bullets, signatures of ejecta inside the main shell have been uncovered in recent X-ray studies. Mostly, these are rich in light metals such as O, Ne, or Mg, whereas no Fe-rich ejecta had yet been detected. Based on archival XMM-Newton data, we found a possible Fe-rich ejecta bullet headed roughly in the opposite direction of Vela pulsar's motion. This would provide us with a window into the core-collapse SN explosion of the Vela SNR. Since its electron temperature is very low (~0.1 keV), the good Suzaku XIS response below 0.5 keV is suitable to study this object. We propose to observe it in four pointings. The requested exposure time is 20 ks each, resulting in a total exposure time of 80 ks.

HB9 is a member of the class of Galactic SNRs which are distinguished by their contrasting radio and X-ray morphologies. Prior X-ray observations of HB9 have suggested that the SNR may have a hard component to its X-ray emission, but the true nature of this emission and its origin (a background AGN, intercluster gas associated with the cluster that harbors the AGN or the SNR itself) remains elusive. Our proposed observations will help identify the true nature of the hard emission as well as search for spectral variations (and possible overionization) in the properties of the X-ray emitting plasma associated with the SNR.

This remnant is of particular interest because it is expanding in a low-density medium, appears sub-energetic, and has mixed-morphology, with central thermal X-ray emission surrounded by a radio synchrotron shell. Fits to the spectrum suggest a Type Ia SNR, but the possible presence of a pulsar wind nebula challenges that interpretation. The new pointings will significantly improve the statistics for key regions (rims and background), allowing us to type the remnant, determine its age, study its energetics, place limits on nonthermal X-ray emission, and better characterize the PWN.

The combination of absorption and emission measurements provides a powerful tool in this regard. Instead of average emission and absorption measures used in previous studies, one immediate step forward would be to use emission measures close to absorption sightlines. With proposed observations we will determine emission measures close to five sightlines in which we have the most accurate absorption measurements with Chandra. This will break the degeneracy between density and path-length and robustly measure the extent and mass of the warm-hot halo, placing strongest constraints yet on the fraction of missing baryons in the warm-hot plasma.

Additional data from Fermi reinforce this hypothesis due to the detection of jet and cocoon structures in the southern bubble. There are signatures of the bubbles at X-ray energies, implying they contain relatively cool gas (10^6 K) and/or are influencing the Milky Way's hot gas halo. We propose Suzaku XIS observations to analyze the soft X-ray emission from these regions, which will allow us to constrain the density, temperature, and expansion velocity of these features. These observations will be crucial in understanding the evolution of the Fermi bubbles and their role in the evolution of the Milky Way.

These are rare emission regions, occurring in fewer than 1% of the fields and they are not due to known extended emission regions (SNR, galaxy clusters, etc.). These emission anomalies probably signify locations of unusual physics, such as shocks, conductive heating, or local heat injection. We propose observations to determine the angular extent of these unusual regions and to better define the intensities of the O VII and O VIII lines. These observations will help identify the relevant physical process and the nature of the phenomenon causing them.

Direct comparison of broad-band spectrum in BLRGs to those of Sy-1s provides important clue to understand the formation of relativistic jets. We propose a 160 ksec (40ksec x4) observations of the brightest BLRG 3C120 with Suzaku. Recent XMM and Beppo-SAX observations confirm remarkable spectral features including fluorescent Fe line. Our goals are three folds; (1) Monitoring the variability correlation between Fe line and the Compton reflection hump, (2) Precise measurement of total luminosity as a probe of various accretion states, and (3) Resolving excess soft components, warm absorber, and 6.9 keV line, which are still under debate.

The spectral variability of the source decomposes into a highly variable power law and a reflection-dominated component, containing the iron line and Compton hump, which varies significantly but with much less amplitude. This can be explained by the extreme gravitational light bending occuring in this region.

Both objects show extremely hard X-ray spectra, with photon indices about 1.3. The blazar 1510-089 ($z = 0.361$) is among a few OVV quasars showing prominent soft X-ray excess. The blazar 0836+710 ($z = 2.172)$ is the brightest X-ray source among the high redshift ($z>2$) quasars, and its very hard X-ray spectrum extends down to soft X-rays. Studying spectral shape and variability in the soft X-ray band relative to variability in the mid X-ray and optical bands can help to reveal nature of the soft X-ray excess of unknown origin, and multifrequency variability studies can provide constraints on the structure of jets on subparsec scales.

Absorption due to photo-ionized material in the line of sight is well-established in this source, but can lead to degeneracy during modeling: is 3-6 keV continuum curvature due to photo-ionized absorption or a relativistically broad Fe K component? The simultaneous broadband XIS/HXD coverage is needed to define the continuum emission over a wide bandpass and disentangle the various emitting and absorbing components. We can then study the ionized absorber components, establish whether or not broad Fe K emission exists, and constrain reflection components, including the Compton shoulder.

It requires a thorough understanding of the intrinsic blazar spectra. We propose XIS and HXD observations, with emphasis on the hard X-rays, for the 3 most distant HESS blazars, coordinated with HESS observations. Thanks to Suzaku's sensitivity in a broad energy range, we expect to set tight limits on the models' parameter space, and constrain emission and acceleration scenarios by studying the shape and evolution of the particle distribution, most sensitively conducted in the important hard X-ray energy range. In coordination with TeV observations, it allows us to disentangle EBL absorption effects from the blazar intrinsic spectra.

In these sources, the spin of the black hole can be constrained directly through fits to the relativistic iron line. A sample of excellent spectra from well-chosen AGN will facilitate a better understanding of the innermost regime near to black holes, and make correlations with parameters like radio luminosity, star formation rate, and galaxy and black hole mass possible for the first time. We propose to obtain observations of 4 under-exposed Seyfert AGN with promising evidence for broad lines to robustly constrain their spin parameters.

Our understanding of jet production remains elusive, however, because we cannot image the accretion flow. Fortunately, the Fe K line offers a direct probe of accretion. As part of a multi-mission monitoring program of the radio loud AGN NGC 1052, we propose two 100 ksec Suzaku observations to obtain best-quality X-ray spectra at two epochs to determine the true continuum shape and thus probe the relativistic iron line, determine line and continuum variability patterns and possibly investigate how the structure of the accretion disk changes when there are jet ejection events. Our aim is to determine what leads supermassive black holes to launch powerful jets.

We have obtained optical spectra for 258 XBONGs and identified ~700 X-ray luminous Type 2 AGN at z>0.7. With known source positions and X-ray fluxes, we select sources that are relatively bright with little or no contamination from other X-ray sources. Thus we will measure individual spectra for these bright sources. We propose eight 15 ksec Suzaku XIS observations to measure the absorption in 8 luminous z > 0.8 Type 2 AGN and eight 10 ksec observations to measure the absorption and iron emission for nine XBONGs.

The high X-ray luminosities (>E41 erg/s) are the results of the SN shock interacting with dense material in the environment of the SNe. We propose one Suzaku observation of each SN to obtain high-quality spectra that will be used to measure the temperature of the forward and reverse shock and to establish the rate of decline in comparison with existing Swift, Chandra and XMM-Newton data. The data will further be used to measure the circumstellar matter density and mass-loss rate of the progenitors to probe the nature of the SN progenitors. Our science objectives rely on Suzaku's uniqueness, i.e. the large collecting area, good spectral resolution, and the high sensitivity in the hard X-ray band.

To investigate the nature of this material, high sensitivity is needed to detect relatively faint emission lines, while broad bandpass is required to constrain the primary X-ray continuum. We propose Suzaku observations (80 ksec each) of three bright Compton-thin Seyfert 2 galaxies, selected from the Swift/BAT survey, with a hard X-ray flux exceeding 9e-11cgs, to form a flux-limited sample. The unprecedented bandpass of Suzaku offers a unique tool to investigate the X-ray emission of these sources, allowing us to put strong constraints on the reprocessing matter in Seyfert 2s.

Since the spectrum in hard X-ray is reminiscent of blazar, its X-ray spectrum seems to have different components originated from disk and jet. Thanks to sensitive X-ray detectors extending to the hard X-ray band, Suzaku observation is expected to resolve a possible multi-component structure in the spectrum. Since beamed radiation from jet is highly variable, spectral temporal behavior is also vital information to distinguish the emission origin. As this source is located relatively nearby (z=0.061), the source is an excellent target to investigate the emission from disk and jet.

These observations are ~3x deeper than the INTEGRAL and Swift/BAT all-sky surveys. Both the absorption distribution and the intensity of the Compton reflection component are fundamental parameters in understanding the AGN population. In fact, the uncertainty in the latter quantity is the main reason why the X-ray background can not be used to constrain the number of Compton Thick AGN.

Recent studies have found larger (~2X) BALQSO fractions in NIR selected samples compared to those in optical samples and have suggested that the NIR samples of BALQSOs better represent the general population of BALQSOs. We propose to observe three bright, red 2MASS selected BALQSOs with Suzaku, to complement archival X-ray observations of BALQSOs that may have been biased by their selection on optical properties only.

Recent studies have found larger (~2X) BALQSO fractions in NIR selected samples compared to those in optical samples and have suggested that the NIR samples of BALQSOs better represent the general population of BALQSOs. We propose to observe three bright, red 2MASS selected BALQSOs with Suzaku, to complement archival X-ray observations of BALQSOs that may have been biased by their selection on optical properties only. Combined with the archival sample, we will measure the average X-ray properties of BALQSOs. By comparing the hard X-ray to K_s band flux ratios at a range of optical to infrared colors, we will test the robustness of NIR selection and the origin of the large NIR BALQSO fraction.

Those lobes clearly separated from the central source, have been detected as a source of diffuse gamma-ray emission by the Fermi Telescope. The goal of the Suzaku observations is two-fold: first, to measure the diffuse component of the non-thermal X-ray emission with both the XIS and the HXD in order to determine the details of the distribution of the radiating relativistic particles (and B field), and second, to measure the thermal emission from the lobes (using primarily the XIS), to determine temperature and density of the X-ray emitting plasma, which, via consideration of pressure balance, will determine the content of energetic protons (cosmic rays).

Their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) include two main components: a low-energy component with power peaking in the range from the UV to the X-ray band, and a substantial high-energy component often dominated by gamma-rays. We propose 3 observations (32 ks each) of a selected sample of HBLs to study the behavior of the first component, widely interpreted as synchrotron radiation. First, we will be able to disentangle between different spectral shapes of the synchrotron SED of HBLs. Second, we will use the proposed observations to investigate the properties of the most representative sample of TeV candidate HBLs.

These pointings will achieve three goals: (1) They will provide the best-ever broad-band X-ray spectra of two of the brightest Seyfert galaxies in the 0.5-80 keV band; (2) They will enable broad-band, time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of these fascinating and variable sources; (3) They will serve as invaluable calibration targets for the two observatories. The spectral coverage and sensitivity will enable the continuum, absorption and reflection components of each spectrum to be conclusively disentangled, allowing us to determine whether inner disk reflection signatures are present.

Two competing models can explain these extreme low states: reflection models and partial covering absorber models. Both models still require a variable underlying intrinsic continuum. The science driver is to find out what is causing these low X-ray flux states that have been observed in several NLS1s.

They were initially detected in the soft excess of several NLS1s, then recently, the first Fe K reverberation was also seen. In addition to measuring x-rays reverberating a few r_g from the event horizon, short/long delays from different radii have been separated for the first time in NGC4151. Here we propose to observe MCG-5-23-1 for 300 ks in order to study its iron K reverberation. It is optimally one of the brightest and most variable AGN in X-rays. Archival data already show very exciting signatures of Fe K reverberation. With new observations we aim to constrain the emitting region size and study the emission originating at different distances from of the hole.

However, to properly model the X-ray absorption & reflection, coverage below 10 keV is needed with CCD spectral resolution and adequate signal-to-noise. We propose to observe 11 AGN with Suzaku, which will increase the completeness of a flux-limited sample with such coverage from 85 to 158 sources. The 11 AGN only have severely underexposed Swift XRT coverage below 10 keV whereas the remaining sources have either Suzaku or XMM coverage. The Suzaku data have the additional advantage of sensitivity above 10 keV that helps to mitigate the long time-baseline of the BAT spectra. The new observations will create a significantly enhanced legacy data set that will provide value for years to come.

The low and steady background of the Suzaku telescope is ideal for studying the low surface brightness X-ray emission between the clusters. Such observations will determine if the clusters are interacting via the detection of merger-induced shocks or perturbed features in the outskirts of the individual clusters.

Recent NuSTAR observations of the extreme ULX Holmberg IX X-1 revealed unusual spectral variability, and different competing evolutionary scenarios can explain the available data. Resolving this degeneracy is critical to determining the nature of the accretion onto this source, and requires multi-epoch broadband spectroscopy probing a more diverse range of fluxes.

We propose to constrain iron line emission sizes using quasar X-ray microlensing. Our Chandra Cycle 11 observations have shown that the iron line equivalent widths (EWs) in six lensed systems are significantly higher than those measured in local AGNs. This implies that the iron line emission is microlensed more strongly than the X-ray continuum and originates from very compact regions. We propose to confirm the high iron line EWs in lensed quasars by monitoring two more lenses, Q0142-100 and HE0512+3329 using Suzaku, with a total exposure time 115 kilo-seconds. This will provide independent constraints for settling the debate on the origin of the iron line emission.

The WHIM has been 'missing' observationally, until recent detection of the X-ray absorption due to the ionized light elements in the background quasar spectra. Still there is no confident detection of the expected soft X-ray emission. This is mainly because that the X-ray brightness is very low, compared to the Galactic diffuse emission in the soft X-ray band and/or the spectral sensitivity of previous experiments are limited. To separate the expected X-ray lines of the WHIM (mainly O VII) from the Galactic emission, we select an unique supercluster at z>0.1.

Thus, this result suggests that the hard X-ray emission from active galactic nucleus could be a prime heat source of nebula. The goals of this observation are (1) to see how far the X-ray nebula is extended, (2) to obtain its precise X-ray spectrum, (3) to determine what is the X-ray emission mechanism, and (4) to exam if the photoionization by AGN could be a prime heat source of the galactic halo.

Our targets are spatially resolved by Chandra and are chosen to minimize point-source contamination of the Suzaku group spectra. The XIS data will significantly expand the sample of groups with known temperature in this redshift range, and so will improve constraints on group evolution mechanisms. We will use the existing, deep multicolor imaging and 20,000-object spectroscopic catalog for Bootes to study the effect of local environment on group properties, as well as the relationship between optically-selected and X-ray selected groups, for the first time in this redshift range.

The Milky Way is missing at least 70% of its baryons while lower mass galaxies retain less than 10% of their baryons. Theory suggests that these baryons were expelled by intense galactic winds during the primary star formation period. These galactic winds carry gas far beyond the virial radius of small and modest galaxies, but the most massive galaxies should retain much of this gas. We propose to test this picture by searching for the missing baryons surrounding the very massive spiral galaxy, NGC 1961, which has 10 times the stellar content of M31 and with v_rot = 450 km/sec. If successful, we will detect a significant fraction of the 5E11 Msun of its missing baryons.

This is one of the brightest cluster radio relics known. Remarkably, it is associated with a relatively poor, cool cluster. Although it has many properties similar to other cluster radio relics, it is possible that it is an old radio lobe, displaced by motions or buoyancy. The HXD/PIN data will be a strong test of merger shock acceleration processes. The XIS observations will constrain the low energy nonthermal spectrum and determine the thermal gas properties near the relic, and allow a merger shock to be detected.

The indications provided by this observation will be crucial in order to assess, beyond doubt, the reality of the soft excess emission, previously observed by all soft X-ray missions since EUVE.

However, the complexity of the filament network and the distance between clusters makes this approach very difficult (if not impossible), except in few cases where several clusters are sufficiently close together, such as within a supercluster. We propose an investigation using Suzaku of a region within the Shapley Supercluster where, following the cluster network, a filament is expected and a ROSAT PSPC investigation has found excess emission.

These unprecedented measurements will enable us to study the entropy profile at scales near the region in which accretion shocks become important, and will reveal whether its flattening outside the core of the group extends as far as Rvir. Furthermore, we will obtain the mass profile and test the validity of the NFW model in the outer parts of the halo. Due to its high surface brightness and favourable distance, RXJ1159+5531 is the ideal target with which to carry out this study.

Recent work indicates massive low-Lx clusters at all redshifts, in conflict with self-similarity predictions. The only way to quantify these findings is to observe a cluster sample chosen independently of X-ray properties. We propose to study 14 clusters at 0.15<z<0.45, for which robust velocity dispersions are measured. We were awarded Chandra observations of 8 high-dispersion, low-z targets. Suzaku s superior throughput is required to probe the low-dispersion, high-z side of the distribution. We propose XIS observations of the remaining 6 targets, allowing us to rigorously assess baryon content in an unbiased sample of clusters.

This will allow us to determine the radial profiles of the gaseous iron mass to stellar light ratio, the relative distributions of ejecta from SN Ia and SN II, the entropy, the total mass to light ratio, and the dark matter concentration for this fossil group.

The gas in the outskirts of galaxy clusters presents information of astrophysical and cosmological importance. Measurements at the virial radius, where the dominant gas behavior switches from infall to equilibrium, can improve cluster mass estimates. Temperature and entropy profiles in the outskirts describe the accretion history and energy balance of clusters, near where they must match the background properties of the Universe. But these observations are just beginning. How do clusters grow? Are there large scale accretion shocks? To what extent are clusters relaxed? Here we propose to continue our study of PKS 0745-191 using Suzaku's unique capability to map this area.

These 3 objects are members of a subclass of symbiotics characterized by rapid optical flickering, and in some cases jets, recurrent nova eruptions, and high-mass white dwarfs possibly headed toward supernova Type Ia explosion. The origin of the hard X-ray emission from these accreting white dwarfs is a mystery. Broad-band X-ray observations, which only Suzaku can provide, are needed to bridge the gap between existing soft and hard X-ray spectra. We propose to perform such Suzaku observations of RT Cru, T CrB, and RS Oph to distinguish among thermal emission from a magnetic accretion column, non-thermal emission from a jet, or some unforeseen emission mechanism.

Recent work indicates massive low-Lx clusters at all redshifts, in conflict with self-similarity predictions. The only way to quantify these findings is to observe a sample chosen independently of X-ray properties. We propose to study 13 clusters at 0.15<z<0.45, for which robust velocity dispersions are measured. We were awarded Suzaku/Chandra observations of 11 high-dispersion, low-z targets. Suzaku's superior throughput is required to complete the low-dispersion, high-z side of the distribution. We propose XIS observations of the remaining 2 targets, allowing us to rigorously assess baryon content in an unbiased sample of clusters.

This is larger than Galactic interstellar column density and much larger than the optical extinction would imply, so the absorbing material must be concentrated on X-ray source. These may form an entirely new class with a common origin, or may simply be the highly obscured tail of the distribution of High and Low Mass X-ray Binaries. We propose to observe three these sources along with two new possibilities from the Swift BAT survey. Our goal is to observe the hard X-rays with the HXD and Fe K lines with the XIS to simultaneously measure the total flux, column density, and line strengths, in order to better understand the physics behind these intriguing new sources.

In order to understand the particle acceleration process in rotation-powered objects, it is important to measure the hard X-ray emission from magnetized white dwarfs, in addition to that from well-known neutron stars. Here, we propose a 100ksec observation of a magnetic cataclysmic valiable, AE Aqurii. It is difficult for INTEGRAL mission, and is challenging even for the HXD, but it will be a ``first detection'' of the non-thermal emission in the hard X-ray band from a white dwarf with Suzaku.

If FGs are assembled at higher redshift, there is enough time for intermediate-luminosity galaxies to merge, resulting in the formation of the brightest system galaxy. We carry out the first, systematic study of a large sample of FGs, the ``FOssil Group Origins'' (FOGO) based on an International Time Project at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. For ten FOGO FGs we propose to measure the temperature of the hot intracluster gas (ICM) and to evaluate Lx-Tx, Lopt-Tx, and sigmaV-Tx relations as compared to the non fossil systems. By combining these observations with hydrodynamical simulations we will open a new window into the study of the ICM and the nature of fossil systems.

Instead its ICM properties at r_vir are consistent with adiabatic cluster formation, which may reflect that hydrostatic equilibrium is very accurate in this highly evolved fossil group. To examine whether these results extend to other fossils and to more massive systems, we propose to observe the fossil cluster RXJ 1416.4+2315 (M_vir ~3 x 10^14 M_sun) to constrain its entropy and gas fraction out to r_vir (r_112). Since it is located at a redshift of 0.137, this target provides an efficient means to explore the outer ICM, where a large azimuthal portion (~80%) of r_vir can be observed in a single Suzaku field.

Only a few elliptical galaxies have detailed mass measurements from X-rays because of the lack of suitable targets in terms of total mass (< ~10^13 m_sun) and relaxed dynamical states appropriate for hydrostatic analysis. We have identified a sample of (hot) gas-rich isolated elliptical galaxies, most of which were discovered from previously awarded XMM and Chandra snapshot programs to search for optimal targets for X-ray studies of mass profiles on the galaxy scale. We request Suzaku observations to map the detailed profiles of stars, dark matter, and hot gas in two of these galaxies which have complementary Chandra observations.

If FGs are assembled at higher redshifts, there is enough time for intermediate-luminosity galaxies to merge, resulting in the formation of the brightest group galaxy (BGG). We carry out the first systematic and multiwavelength study of a large sample of FGs, the FOssil Group Origins (FOGO) project. We propose to observe four bona fide fossil groups, most with T< 2 keV measuring Tx and Lx for objects at the mass scale of groups, which are rather unexplored. We will evaluate Lx-Tx, Lopt-Tx, and sigmaV-Tx relations as compared to our sample of fossil clusters completing the first X-ray selected sample of fossil systems ranging from the cluster to galaxy group scale.

The short term variability has different periods for the soft and hard X-ray bands. The soft period being identical with the UV DAC reoccurrence period. The hard period is 40 percent smaller than the soft period and the source of it's variability is thus far unclear. Zeta Oph has been observed by several X-ray telescopes over a 22 year time span and the observations show significant variations in the total observed X-ray flux. We are requesting an XIS observation of this star to develop: 1) a greater understanding of the hard X-ray emission; 2) confirm the hard and soft periodicities, and; 3) provide further monitoring of the long term variability.

Our preferred model involves a resurrection of the double-thermal model for the soft state. The results have ramifications for such issues as neutron star ISCOs, the structure of the accretion boundary layer, and the radiative efficiency of the hard state (jets). Suzaku instruments can test and refine the model directly, with a focus on spectral fits rather than a reliance on model performance arguments.

Our goal is to map the physical conditions in the accretion disk as the source evolves through the various continuum states using the spectral diagnostics available in the Fe K fluorescence emission. Measurements of the Fe K emission will allow us to quantify the thermal, kinematic, and geometric conditions in both the disk and the surrounding material. Correlating the Fe K diagnostics with sensitive measurements of the direct and reprocessed continuum emission will allow us to map the evolving conditions and constrain models of the dynamic accretion processes in black hole binaries. We will monitor 7 targets with the RXTE. This observation will be triggered when one becomes active.

This connection independently ties Fe lines to radii less than 100 R_Schw. QPO-phase-resolved Suzaku spectra will enable us to detect changes in the relativistic line profile (inner radius, equivalent width), to extend the connection to the broadband disk reflection spectrum, and to test models for the Fe line - QPO connection. Moreover, at CCD resolution, the connection can be used to over-constrain disk radii - a first step toward mapping the inner disk. We therefore request a 37 ksec TOO observation of GRS 1915+105.

Its radio and gamma-ray surface brightness peaks to the south of the pulsar, suggesting that the nebula was crushed by the reverse shock which propagated more rapidly from the north than the south through an inhomogeneous ambient medium. The X-ray morphology is not yet known. Recently, we found that the X-ray extent is larger than the radio extent in the northeastern and eastern directions. We here propose ten Suzaku XIS observations in these two directions to study the history of the Vela PWN; for instance, to investigate whether the radio-emitting PWN is the relic of PWN-reverse shock interactions, whereas the X-ray-emitting PWN is more recently formed by freshly injected particles.

The cloud emits strong 6.4-keV line, and is a candidate of X-ray reflection nebula; the molecular cloud which emits fluorescence and scattered X-rays irradiated by an external X-ray source. The past activity of Sgr~A$^*$, the Galactic nucleus, may be the origin of 6.4-keV line. We will study 6.4-keV line and verify the X-ray reflection scenario. The second objective is to study the distribution of high ionized and neutral iron lines in the GC region. Chandra observation indicates that H-like iron line is very strong in this region.

This star has a highly structured surface magnetic field at around 500 G, and its unusually hard emission has been associated with wind confinement in closed magnetic loops. Our proposal is to test this claim. The surface field sports a torus-like structure of closed loops with a magnetic axis that is tilted by nearly 90 degrees from the stellar rotation axis. We selected six phases to optimize the detection of hard X-ray variability from occultation of hot plasma confined in the torus field arrangement as it rotates about the star. The Suzaku data will be important for confronting models of interactions between line-driven winds and magnetic fields in massive stars.

The variable Fe line complex will be studied.

To probe this requires accurate neutron star radii and masses. We recently showed that broad iron lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) constrain the neutron star radius. LMXBs also provide us with another tool, kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Combining the inner disk velocity (from modeling the iron line) and the frequency of the kHz QPOs gives a method to measure the neutron star mass. We propose a 100 ks observation of Cyg X-2 with Suzaku to provide a detailed iron line profile. Combined with simultaneous observations with RXTE to determine the kHz QPO frequency, we will measure the neutron star mass. Cyg X-2 is the perfect test case as it already has a known mass from optical observations.

These spectral studies will provide greater understanding of the physical properties of, and physical processes occurring in, the planet's magnetosphere.

Recent progress has been made, but relies on RXTE data which lacks the low energy sensitivity where disk emission is most prominent. Using Suzaku we propose four 30 ksec observations of the transient 4U 1608-52 throughout an outburst. We will test how spectral parameters change with luminosity, allowing us to untangle the correct model. An essential part of this proposal is the unique ability of Suzaku to detect asymmetric broad iron emission lines in NSXRBs. We will study how the iron line varies throughout the outburst, which combined with the spectral fits will test the interaction between the accretion disk and corona.

The Local Bubble's spectrum will be garnered from an observation of a nearby opaque cloud. The halo's spectrum will be found by subtracting the Local Bubble spectrum from that of an adjacent off-cloud observation. In order to better constrain the models, we will also draw upon existing FUSE O VI emission data for these directions.

PSR B1259-63 is a young radio pulsar orbiting around a B2e star with a highly eccentric 3.4 yr orbit. Suzaku XIS+HXD measurements of the hard continuum emission from the binary system allow us to investigate particle acceleration in a highly variable environment as a result of interactions between the relativistic wind of the pulsar and the circumstellar disk of the Be star. With the advent of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, we will be able to simultaneously observe X-rays and GeV gamma-rays during the disk transit for the first time.

Under the commonly accepted interpretation, they can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry. In two of these systems, the inner radius of the accretion disk as inferred from the line profile appears to be consistent with the radius inferred from the frequency of the kHz QPOs. We have recently shown that simultaneous measurements of Fe lines and kHz QPOs in a NS-LMXB appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1728-34 with Suzaku five times for 20 ks, simultaneously with RXTE and ATCA.

The excess is apparently strongest near the 2-10 keV X-ray maximum, and possibly produced by very hot plasma or 1st-order Fermi acceleration of particles which then inverse Compton-upscatter UV seed photons from the stellar photospheres. We propose a 50 ksec observation of Eta Carinae with the Suzaku telescope during AO2, compare the X-ray spectrum with earlier observations and determine the level of emission at E >9 keV.

The forces driving the spectral shape and variability of the Z sources are not well understood, as there are few detectors with the necessary capabilities. GX17+2 is a Sco-type Z sources with an unusual time-varying hard X-ray tail whose origin is uncertain. Bright X-ray sources also illuminate the interstellar medium. Highly absorbed X-ray sources show halos due to dust scattering as well as absorption features. These will allow us to place constraints on interstellar dust and gas models. Suzaku can address all of these issues with simultaneous observations of the hard X-ray continuum and the dust-scattered X-ray halo.

Our preferred model involves a resurrection of the double-thermal model for the soft state. The results have ramifications for such issues as neutron star ISCOs, the structure of the accretion boundary layer, and the radiative efficiency of the hard state (jets). Suzaku instruments can test and refine the model directly, with a focus on spectral fits rather than a reliance on model performance arguments.

Observations with both the Chandra HETGS and XMM-Newton spectrometers revealed line emission from a photoionized plasma. The spectral features are consistent with the predictions for emission from an accretion disk corona. However, with the present data it is impossible to determine whether the emission originates in the corona or in a localized region of the disk. We propose to observer 2S 0921-630 with Suzaku at four orbital phases in order to localize and identify the emitting plasma.

These are white dwarfs accreting from a giant mass donor, unlike the less common class of symbiotic X-ray binaries in which the accretor is a neutron star. The X-ray spectra of the white dwarf symbiotics can be used to constrain the white dwarf mass and accretion rate. Here we focus on one object, Hen 3-1591, which belongs to a rare subclass of d'-type yellow symbiotic, commonly thought to harbor a young white dwarf. Hen 3-1591 is the first of this subclass to show medium energy X-ray emission, and hence we propose a moderately deep Suzaku observation to characterize its white dwarf and the circum-binary environment.

With this knowledge, NGC 5506 is the perfect candidate for confirming the generality of a new result based on a recent XMM observation of Mkn 766, ie that the ionized component of Fe K emission originates from the inner accretion disk and closely tracks the hard X-ray continuum flux. This immediately gives us the ionization-state and size-scale of the inner disk.

The goal of that observation is to measure the O VII and O VIII emission from the Local Hot Bubble, taking advantage of Suzaku's low energy sensitivity and low background. In light of this, we propose to observe the diffuse background near the MBM 12 position. This will: (1) Measure the O VII and O VIII emission from the Galactic disk and halo, after subtracting the local emission, and (2) confirm that this background emission does not contaminate the initial observation.

This bright NLSy1 also shows extreme spectral variability, with the low state being dominated by a hard, constant reflection component, probably from cool distant material. We propose to measure the spectrum above 10 keV; the hot component should vary with the continuum, the cold distant component should be constant, and we can measure their relative contributions to test the predictions of the lower-energy analysis. This source is complex and needs the high-energy spectrum from Suzaku: it seems likely that previous complex behavior of several Seyferts can be described by these components EXTRAGALACTIC COMPACT SOURCES 7 B TRACEY TURNER USA 1 AO1 DECOMPOSITION OF SEYFERT SPECTRA: TRACKING THE INNER DISK IN MKN 766 XIS Y https://data.darts.isas.jaxa.jp/pub/suzaku/ver3.0/701035020/ Quick Look

This star has a highly structured surface magnetic field at around 500 G, and its unusually hard emission has been associated with wind confinement in closed magnetic loops. Our proposal is to test this claim. The surface field sports a torus-like structure of closed loops with a magnetic axis that is tilted by nearly 90 degrees from the stellar rotation axis. We selected six phases to optimize the detection of hard X-ray variability from occultation of hot plasma confined in the torus field arrangement as it rotates about the star. The Suzaku data will be important for confronting models of interactions between line-driven winds and magnetic fields in massive stars.

These features are signs of the highest energy processes yet detected in any colliding wind binary. Broad band X-ray observations around periastron are essential to understanding those features.

The abrupt rise in coronal luminosities from the warmer giants to their cooler cousins, only slightly further advanced in evolution, might signal disruption of a "fossil" magnetosphere by a newly born solar-like dynamo. Key discriminators are the coronal energy distribution, composition (FIP bias), and sporadic hard emission associated with flaring. The proposed targets are the brightest not previously observed in X-rays at CCD resolution, and both have supporting HST UV spectra. Expanding the high energy sample of this key class of objects is essential for probing their contrary, but perhaps deeply significant, behavior.

Recent progress has been made, but relies on RXTE data which lacks the low energy sensitivity where disk emission is most prominent. Using Suzaku we propose four 30 ksec observations of the transient 4U 1608-52 throughout an outburst. We will test how spectral parameters change with luminosity, allowing us to untangle the correct model. An essential part of this proposal is the unique ability of Suzaku to detect asymmetric broad iron emission lines in NSXRBs. We will study how the iron line varies throughout the outburst, which combined with the spectral fits will test the interaction between the accretion disk and corona.

Observations at energies above 10 keV with HXD will probe the cut-off energy of the synchrotron spectrum, shedding light on the electron acceleration efficiency.

PSR B1259-63 is a young radio pulsar orbiting around a B2e star with a highly eccentric 3.4 yr orbit. Suzaku XIS+HXD measurements of the hard continuum emission from the binary system allow us to investigate particle acceleration in a highly variable environment as a result of interactions between the relativistic wind of the pulsar and the circumstellar disk of the Be star. With the advent of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, we will be able to simultaneously observe X-rays and GeV gamma-rays during the disk transit for the first time.

A plausible scenario is reprocessed emission from a cold medium (disk) diluted by variable, non-thermal jet flux. To test this scenario we propose Suzaku observations of the BLRG 3C 111, which exhibits flux variability above 10 keV from available data, suggesting a jet contribution. Moreover, 3C 111 was previously detected with EGRET at GeV energies, and synergy with GLAST will thus be exploited in the proposed program. The coupled timing and spectral information provided by Suzaku are key to disentangle the disk and jet contributions, and determine their respective role for the source energy budget.

The spectra's bright emission lines and complexes will reveal the plasma's ionization history and thus its origins. The Local Bubble's spectrum will be garnered from an observation of a nearby opaque cloud. The halo's spectrum will be found by subtracting the Local Bubble spectrum from that of an adjacent off-cloud observation. In order to better constrain the models, we will also draw upon existing FUSE O VI emission data for these directions.

This state features a hard X-ray spectrum, a high level of timing noise, and emission from a steady jet at radio, IR, and perhaps higher frequencies. Along with radio observations, Suzaku is constraining theoretical models by answering the following questions: Does the inner edge of the accretion disk recede in the hard state? How is the location of the disk's inner edge related to the presence of a jet? Here, we propose to extend X-ray and radio studies of the hard state to low flux levels in order to answer these questions.

Ginga and ASCA observations reveal a hard emission component, interpreted as arising from shock-accelerated electrons, making this the oldest SNR in which shock acceleration has been found. Recent reanalysis of the ASCA data leaves ambiguity about the existence of this component. The importance of understanding the evolution of shock acceleration in SNRs makes vital confirming the existence of the hard component and localizing it. We propose 50 ks XIS observations of 3 locations to localize the hard component. Given its angular size, lack of small high contrast features, 0.4 keV thermal component with strong lines, and hard component, G156.2+5.7 is an ideal Suzaku target.

Puppis A has never been surveyed with an adequate combination of bandpass and spectral resolution, and Suzaku offers a unique capability for providing such observations. The line emission will also provide diagnostics of plasma conditions throughout the remnant through their intensity ratios in addition to conventional broadband spectral fits.

Most SB models indicate that these objects should be dominated by thermal plasma processes. However, observations of 2 SBs have detected significant nonthermal contributions to their X-ray emission, which raises many questions. Is it generated by synchrotron, inverse-Compton, or nonthermal Bremsstrahlung processes? Are colliding stellar winds or internal supernova remnants responsible? We therefore propose to examine the X-ray emission from 4 X-ray bright SBs, to search for nonthermal X-ray emission, and if possible place strong constraints on the source of this emission.

This star is a prototype of the "Gamma Cas stars" class, whose nature is not yet understood. Earlier XMM-Newton and Swift BAT observations gave a hint of the presence of the hard X-ray emission above 10 keV. The broadband Suzaku spectrum will allow to establish its X-ray emission mechanism - non-thermal emission or reflection of thermal emission from a neutral surface. On this basis, we will be able to discriminate the mechanisms between the magnetic disk dynamo and the accretion on a compact star. These new data will be pivotal in solving the enigma of Gamma Cas and revealing the true nature of this astrophysically important object.

We propose to observe three bright, red 2MASS selected BALQSOs with Suzaku, to complement archival X-ray observations of BALQSOs that may have been biased by their selection on optical properties only. Combined with the archival sample, we will measure the average X-ray properties of BALQSOs.

Recent observations suggest that such long structures may be associated with many other pulsars. Being the longest extended structures observed around Galactic compact objects. The physical processes responsible for the formation of such tails are not well understood, and the existing numerical models may only be valid at small distances from the pulsar. To determine the major factors governing the post-shock wind, we propose to observe the tail of PSR B1929+10, measure its full extent, map the surface brightness distribution, and perform spatially resolved spectroscopy.

The GCL consists of a collection of remarkable thermal and nonthermal coherent components with a scale length of about 150 pc perpendicular to the Galactic plane. There is circumstantial evidence for a mild starburst activity and the GCL is viewed as a manifestation of powerful massive stars affecting their surrounding ISM in a starburst episode. The proposed X-ray observations of diffuse soft and hard X-ray emission from the GCL, away from the plane is critical in order to examine the starburst model. The analysis of X-ray emission can be used to distinguish between different scenarios of starburst activity in the nucleus of our activity.

This SNR has a centrally peaked X-ray morphology which coupled with its non-thermal emission, suggested that the SNR's central engine was an undetected pulsar. Last year, a radio pulsar associated with the remnant was discovered (Gupta et al. 2005; Camilo et al. 2006). These announcements concur on the period of the pulsar and its period derivative making it the second highest spin-down luminosity pulsar. Deep Chandra imaging uncovered the missing shell (Matheson & Safi-Harb, 2005). Recent INTEGRAL and SWIFT/BAT slew observations detected G21.5--0.9 at more than 10 and 8 sigma respectively. The proposed observation will be the first self-consistent broad-band timing and spectral analysis from soft to very hard X-ray.

We propose observations of an X-ray bright supernova remnant (SNR), G296.1-0.5, with very strong evidence for an explosion within a bubble. Spectroscopy with Suzaku will provide us with temperatures, abundances, and ionization ages of the X-ray emitting gas. If we detect SN ejecta, we will distinguish between a CC or a Type Ia progenitor. Gas temperatures will provide us with the shock speeds, while ionization ages will tell us when this gas was shocked. We will infer how progenitor winds affected the ambient medium prior to the explosion. The proposed observations will advance our knowledge of poorly understood SNR evolution in wind-blown bubbles.

Another is a series of snap shot observations in orbital phase between the peaks. We aim to perform phase-resolved spectral analysis which is not possible with the Swift XRT data.

With the discovery that hard X-ray emission (E > 2 keV) is a common feature of WD symbiotics, that situation has finally changed. We propose to use Suzaku observations of 3 typical symbiotics with hard X-ray emission to test the hypothesis that such emission emanates from an accretion-disk boundary layer. With the proposed observations, we will determine whether the WD's magnetic field is high enough to disrupt the accretion flow, and estimate the WD mass and accretion rate.

Here we propose to confirm and extend these detections by measuring the spatial variation of Cr/Fe line fluxes across the remnant, paying particular attention to the composition of a previously known Fe-rich region along the eastern limb. The unique capabilities of the XIS onboard Suzaku (high spectral resolution and large effective area) are crucial to the proposed study and no other operating instrument can detect the weak lines from these trace species within reasonable exposure times.

As the chance coincidence is very unlikely, there should be a connection between the two. Furthermore, previous short Chandra observations of this field have revealed a large-scale asymmetric PWN extending toward the center of the TeV source. Thus, this is an excellent case for testing whether the unidentified TeV sources near young pulsars are, in fact, relic PWNe crushed by the asymmetric SNR reverse shock. We will probe the nature of the X-ray emission by measuring the surface brightness and spatially-resolved spectra across the large extent of the TeV source. Suzaku XIS is ideally suited for this purpose because of its low background.

Based on our recent observations with the Suzaku XIS, we found an indication of correlation between the X-ray hard-tail emission and radio emission. In addition, we confirmed the existence of metal-rich ejecta in the central portion, but found no evidence of ejecta in the rim regions. To investigate the correlation between the X-ray hard-tail emission and the radio emission, and the distributions of the X-ray emitting ejecta in this SNR, we propose to extend our observations with the Suzaku XIS.

However, extensive optical observations also show a longer stable period of 3027s. The former is most likely the orbital period, and the latter the superhump period caused by the precession of an elliptical accretion disk at a period of 3.9 days, representing the beat period between optical and X-ray periods. The morphology of the X-ray dips does indeed change dramatically over several days, but existing data suggest a somewhat longer period for the dip morphology cycle of 4.7 days. Here we propose a 300ks Suzaku observation of XB1916-053 with as few interruptions as possible, to conduct a definitive timing and spectroscopic study of its disk emission and dipping activity.

The available X-ray data provides rather poor constraints on the physical properties of the remnant. We propose to perform a deep Suzaku observation to obtain good spectral data. Joint spectral analyses of Suzaku and radio data will enable us to accurately and precisely measure the synchrotron spectral index and cutoff frequency, the electron temperature, the emission measure, and, perhaps, the relative elemental abundances. As a result, it will be possible to compute accurate and precise values for the spectral index and maximum energy of the nonthermal electrons, the strength of the magnetic field, and the ambient density, age, and shock velocity.

This source shows 13.5 s pulsations, a 1.4 d orbital period, and a long-period (~30 d) variability due to a warped, precessing accretion disk. The proposed analysis will use pulse-phase spectroscopy with XIS to explore changes in the X-ray pulses and spectra at three different phases in the disk precession. This work will give us a detailed picture of the accretion flow, particularly for the inner regions of the accretion disk that are illuminated by the X-rays from the neutron star.

Recent measurements using Chandra coupled with precise laboratory measurements at EBIT lend support for this hypothesis. In fact we have successfully deconvolved the Chandra/ACIS observation of comet C/Linear using direct observations of charge exchanging plasmas at EBIT using a flight spare XRS detector system.

Variations of the Warm Absorber will determine its location in NGC5548, disciminating between models and determining the mass loss rate in the WA wind. This will provide a baseline data point for models of 'cosmological feedback' from AGN to galaxy formation. Simultaneously, the XIS and HXD spectra will study changes or lack thereof in the reflection components (narrow Fe-K, Compton Hump), again delimiting their location and choosing among models.

Recent measurements using Chandra coupled with precise laboratory measurements at EBIT lend support for this hypothesis. In fact we have successfully deconvolved the Chandra/ACIS observation of comet C/Linear using direct observations of charge exchanging plasmas at EBIT using a flight spare XRS detector system. Here, we propose to observe a magnitude 1 comet, 73P/SW 3, the brightest comet of the decade during May 2006 within only 0.08 AU of the earth using the XIS1 (BI) instrument on Suzaku. The exceptional low energy response of the XIS will allow us to unambiguously identify the x-ray emission mechanism in comets.

This galaxy have a unique set of properties: FeXXV and FeXXVI Kalpha and Kbeta absorption lines (the highest S/N detection so far among AGNs), rapidly varying cold absorber (nH variations of ~10^23/cm^2 in a few hours, changes from Compton-thick to Compton-thin in two days), a relativistic iron emission line. This new long observation will use at best the unique capabilities of Suzaku to constrain the dimensions of the absorbers, and, for the first time, will investigate the dynamics and physical conditions of the hot absorber responsible of the iron absorption lines. It is likely that an occultation will occur during the observation. This occultation would directly set the dimension of the X-ray source.

The cloud emits strong 6.4-keV line, and is a candidate of X-ray reflection nebula; the molecular cloud which emits fluorescence and scattered X-rays irradiated by an external X-ray source. The past activity of Sgr~A$^*$, the Galactic nucleus, may be the origin of 6.4-keV line. We will study 6.4-keV line and verify the X-ray reflection scenario. The second objective is to study the distribution of high ionized and neutral iron lines in the GC region. Chandra observation indicates that H-like iron line is very strong in this region.

To investigate the nature of this material, high sensitivity is needed to detect relatively faint emission lines, while broad bandpass is required to constrain the primary X-ray continuum. We propose Suzaku observations (60 ksec each) of four local bright Compton-thin Seyfert2s, selected from the Swift/BAT survey with a hard X-ray flux exceeding 1e-10 cgs to form a flux-limited sample. The unprecedented broad bandpass of Suzaku offers a unique tool to investigate the X-ray emission, placing strong constraints on the geometry and location of the reprocessing matter.

In addition, we confirmed the existence of metal-rich ejecta in the central portion, but found no evidence of ejecta in the rim regions. To investigate the correlation between the X-ray hard-tail emission and the radio emission, and the distributions of the X-ray emitting ejecta in this SNR, we propose to extend our observations with the Suzaku XIS.

The ejecta are seen in optical emission, and enhanced X-ray oxygen line emission is detected but not localized. Puppis A has never been surveyed with an adequate combination of bandpass and spectral resolution, and Suzaku offers a unique capability for providing such observations.

The SWIFT BAT all-sky AGN survey has detected a complete sample of AGN with flux > 1-3e-11 erg/cm^2/s in the 15-200 keV band. At this energy range, the effects of heavy obscuration are minimal and thus BAT will allow us to determine the true fraction of Compton-thick sources. However, the BAT spectra are not simultaneous with XRT and XRT does not have the spectral resolution (with 10 ks) necessary to characterize a heavily absorbed 0.3-10 keV spectrum.

Some of these progenitors are expected to significantly modify ambient medium around them prior to SN explosions. A standard Type Ia SNR model, a white dwarf explosion in a uniform ambient medium, fails to account for bright Fe-rich ejecta and faint blast waves seen in majority of Type Ia SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds. A promising explanation involves presence of dense circumstellar medium (CSM) around their progenitors. We propose a Suzaku study of 4 mature Type Ia SNRs in the LMC, with the goal of determining chemical abundances, temperatures and ionization ages within their ejecta. This will allow us to construct dynamical SNR models, and learn about their CSM and progenitors.

These fragments are indeed ejecta, but originating in different layers of the precursor. We propose to observe another fragment, "B". The abundances and distribution will provide further evidence about the origin and evolution of these ejecta clumps, In combination with the existing observations of fragments A and D, these data will provide a much more complete picture of the variation in ejecta fragment abundances and their interaction with the remnant shell and the surrounding ISM.

Its radio and gamma-ray surface brightness peaks to the south of the pulsar, suggesting that the nebula was crushed by the reverse shock which propagated more rapidly from the north than the south through an inhomogeneous ambient medium. The X-ray morphology is not yet known. Recently, we found that the X-ray extent is larger than the radio extent in the northeastern and eastern directions.

This SNR has a centrally peaked X-ray morphology which coupled with its non-thermal emission, suggested that the SNR's central engine was an undetected pulsar. Last year, a radio pulsar associated with the remnant was discovered (Gupta et al. 2005; Camilo et al. 2006). These announcements concur on the period of the pulsar and its period derivative making it the second highest spin-down luminosity pulsar. Deep Chandra imaging uncovered the missing shell (Matheson & Safi-Harb, 2005). Recent INTEGRAL and SWIFT/BAT slew observations detected G21.5--0.9 at more than 10 and 8 sigma respectively. The proposed observation will be the first self-consistent broad-band timing and spectral analysis from soft to very hard X-ray.

Recent observations of SWIFT BAT-detected AGN found at least 4 classes of Sy2s: (1) objects with high column density and scattered soft x-rays, (2) Compton thick objects, (3) `hidden' AGN (Ueda et al. 2007), and (4) the `changing look' objects (Risaliti et al. 2006). The nature of these sources can only be revealed with high quality broad-band X-ray spectra from Suzaku. Thus, we are proposing 40ks observations for 2 of the brightest BAT AGN without high quality data, NGC 788, a type (3) object showing polarized optical broad lines, and NGC 3281, a classified (2) object.

The Chandra observation of N63A showed possible signatures of He-like Fe emission and radiative recombination continua of Si and S. With the new observation by Suzaku, we will determine the plasma state of this SNR. The remarkable characteristic of 0509-67.5 is its extremely-low ionization age. This SNR, therefore, provides us a unique opportunity to explore detailed emission features of lowly-ionized atoms. The immediate objective of this observation is to accurately measure the Fe K-beta to K-alpha flux ratio to constrain the dominant charge state of the Fe ejecta.

Our analysis of exploratory Suzaku and XMM-Newton observations of NAL quasars indicates that their UV and X-ray properties connect smoothly to those of BAL quasars. The proposed expansion of our sample will allow us to place constraints on correlations between the amount of X-ray absorption and UV properties of the wind to better understand the acceleration mechanism of quasar winds. We will test existing models of the nature of NAL quasars. The detected X-ray brightest objects from the proposed survey will be followed up with deeper observations to constrain the kinematic and ionization properties of the absorbers and ultimately constrain their mass outflow rates.

Little is known about G189; ROSAT images show a shell-like structure about 1.5$^{circ}$ in diameter, but it has never been observed with modern X-ray telescopes. Its association, or lack thereof, with IC 443 is unknown. It may not be a supernova remnant at all; a superbubble origin for the X-ray emission also provides an intriguing possibility. Spatially-resolved spectroscopy with Suzaku will allow the detailed measurement of the plasma properties, illuminating the nature of this object.

These SNRs were detected in the infrared by Spitzer and their infrared colors suggest that shocked molecules produce the observed emission. Published analyses of the X-ray emission from these SNRs (along with our own analysis of archival XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of these sources) reveals that the emission from both Kes 69 and 3C 396 is thermal and that they may both be mixed-morphology SNRs (MMSNRs) but deeper observations are needed to clarify their X-ray spectral properties. In particular, we will investigate whether these X-ray emitting plasmas are overionized, which is observed for other MMSNRs.

Additional data from Fermi reinforce this hypothesis due to the detection of jet and cocoon structures in the southern bubble. There are signatures of the bubbles at X-ray energies, implying they contain relatively cool gas (10^6 K) and/or are influencing the Milky Way's hot gas halo. We propose Suzaku XIS observations to analyze the soft X-ray emission from these regions, which will allow us to constrain the density, temperature, and expansion velocity of these features.

These are rare emission regions, occurring in fewer than 1% of the fields and they are not due to known extended emission regions (SNR, galaxy clusters, etc.). These emission anomalies probably signify locations of unusual physics, such as shocks, conductive heating, or local heat injection. We propose observations to determine the angular extent of these unusual regions and to better define the intensities of the O VII and O VIII lines.

TeV emitting blazars are very important, because we can study very end of electron distribution near the maximum energy by using X-ray spectrum, because X-ray emission is believed to be due to synchrotron emission from the higher energy electron. Comparison of spectral index between X-ray and TeV gives us a crucial information on these source, because this is very sensitive to the particle injection and rapid cooling.

As the chance coincidence is very unlikely, there should be a connection between the two. Furthermore, previous short Chandra observations of this field have revealed a large-scale asymmetric PWN extending toward the center of the TeV source. Thus, this is an excellent case for testing whether the unidentified TeV sources near young pulsars are, in fact, relic PWNe crushed by the asymmetric SNR reverse shock. We will probe the nature of the X-ray emission by measuring the surface brightness and spatially-resolved spectra across the large extent of the TeV source.

Joint spectral analyses of Suzaku and radio data will enable us to accurately and precisely measure the synchrotron spectral index and cutoff frequency, the electron temperature, the emission measure, and, perhaps, the relative elemental abundances.

Both sources show a broad Fe K line and a strong soft excess. One appealing explanation for the nature of the soft excess is reflection. Fundamental to this hypothesis is the assumption that the same self-consistent reflection spectrum explains the Fe K line (including its shape), the soft excess, and also the Compton reflection hump above 20 keV. Suzaku's ability to measure all three reflection components simultaneously enables the different spectral models to be disentangled and reflection to be strongly tested. Understanding black hole accretion is fundamental to NASA's "SEU" theme.

At moderate redshifts, the optical narrow emission-lines used to identify Seyfert 2s become difficult to isolate from the host galaxy's emission, resulting in an underestimate of the numbers of Seyfert 2s. Seyfert 2s are a critical component of AGN synthesis models of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB), as these sources are likely responsible for the unresolved component of the 2-8 keV background and may also contribute significantly to the 30 keV background. We propose to use Suzaku observations of ten local Seyfert 2s to measure their ultrahard (>10 keV) emission and examine how Seyfert 2s at moderate redshifts contribute to the CXB.

In addition to these bullets, signatures of ejecta inside the main shell have been uncovered in recent X-ray studies. Mostly, these are rich in light metals such as O, Ne, or Mg, whereas no Fe-rich ejecta had yet been detected. Based on archival XMM-Newton data, we found a possible Fe-rich ejecta bullet headed roughly in the opposite direction of Vela pulsar's motion. This would provide us with a window into the core-collapse SN explosion of the Vela SNR. Since its electron temperature is very low (~0.1 keV), the good Suzaku XIS response below 0.5 keV is suitable to study this object. We propose to observe it in four pointings.

NGC 4593 is one of the few Seyferts to also show evidence for Fe XXVI emission at 6.9 keV; we will use the XIS to confirm the line and constrain its origin.

The source exhibits a Seyfert-like X-ray spectrum when the luminosity is low but is dominated by emission from the jet in a high state. Suzaku will be able to measure the broadband spectrum, especially X-ray reprocessed features, with greater sensitivity than ever before. Decoupling and monitoring of the disk and jet components will enable detailed spectroscopy to help understand the disk-jet connection and the wider implications for AGN physics in general. The target is bright and well-suited because for most AGN either the disk or jet component dominates. For this pilot study we propose two 50 ks observations, one in each visibility window.

Due to their highly obscured nature, very hard (> 15 keV) observations are needed to probe their properties. With the 9-month SWIFT BAT all-sky AGN survey, detection of heavily obscured sources is now possible. Indeed, 6 type II quasars have been identified. Their properties, however, are a challenge to standard AGN models e.g., all but one of these sources are strong radio sources and several have optical spectra indicative of an un-absorbed source. We propose Suzaku observations of the 5 without broadband high signal to noise x-ray data to perform a detailed analysis of their x-ray properties and to understand their relationship to the lower luminosity well studied Seyfert IIs.

Its radio and gamma-ray surface brightness peaks to the south of the pulsar, suggesting that the nebula was crushed by the reverse shock which propagated more rapidly from the north than the south through an inhomogeneous ambient medium. The X-ray morphology is not yet known. Recently, we found that the X-ray extent is larger than the radio extent in the northeastern and eastern directions.

Large column, high ionization layers of gas may arise in a disk wind, representing a significant new, and possibly dominant, component, responsible for shaping the X-ray spectrum of AGN. The broad bandpass of Suzaku gives us a unique opportunity to model primary and reflected continua and the effects of variable absorbing zones, and test wind and other models.

To investigate the nature of this material, high sensitivity is needed to detect relatively faint emission lines, while broad bandpass is required to constrain the primary X-ray continuum. We propose Suzaku observations (80 ksec each) of three bright Compton-thin Seyfert 2 galaxies, selected from the Swift/BAT survey, with a hard X-ray flux exceeding 9e-11cgs, to form a flux-limited sample. The unprecedented bandpass of Suzaku offers a unique tool to investigate the X-ray emission of these sources, allowing us to put strong constraints on the reprocessing matter in Seyfert 2s.

Recent observations of SWIFT BAT-detected AGN found at least 4 classes of Sy2s: (1) objects with high column density and scattered soft x-rays, (2) Compton thick objects, (3) `hidden' AGN (Ueda et al. 2007), and (4) the `changing look' objects (Risaliti et al. 2006). The nature of these sources can only be revealed with high quality broad-band X-ray spectra from Suzaku. Thus, we are proposing 40ks observations for 2 of the brightest BAT AGN without high quality data, NGC 788, a type (3) object showing polarized optical broad lines, and NGC 3281, a classified (2) object. Such observations are necessary to build a reasonably large sample of high-quality, broad-band Sy2 spectra covering the range of X-ray/optical types.

Such detailed spectral and variability studies are crucial to discriminate between different radiation scenarios responsible for production of X-rays and gamma-rays, and to constrain the matter content and by extension, the formation process of the jet, dissipation of the jet energy, and energization of the radiating particles.

These observations are ~3x deeper than the INTEGRAL and Swift/BAT all-sky surveys. Both the absorption distribution and the intensity of the Compton reflection component are fundamental parameters in understanding the AGN population. In fact, the uncertainty in the latter quantity is the main reason why the X-ray background can not be used to constrain the number of Compton Thick AGN.

These two objects are expected to host a powerful AGN in the luminosity range of quasars, based on solid evidence from mid-IR Spitzer spectroscopy. However, these sources are completely buried behind a screen of dust with column density in excess of 10^24 cm^-2, so not only the primary emission below 10 keV is obscured, but the reflected emission, usually ascribed to a circumnuclear "torus", is also absent. This suggests a complete spherical coverage of the X-ray source along all directions. The unique capabilities of Suzaku at high energies will allow to confirm the existence of these objects, representing the most extreme examples of buried AGNs, both in terms of obscuration and of intrinsic luminosity.

The Chandra observation of N63A showed possible signatures of He-like Fe emission and radiative recombination continua of Si and S. With the new observation by Suzaku, we will determine the plasma state of this SNR. The remarkable characteristic of 0509-67.5 is its extremely-low ionization age. This SNR, therefore, provides us a unique opportunity to explore detailed emission features of lowly-ionized atoms. The immediate objective of this observation is to accurately measure the Fe K-beta to K-alpha flux ratio to constrain the dominant charge state of the Fe ejecta. Both observations will provide us crucial datasets useful to improve our knowledge of SNR plasma and atomic physics.

This source stands out even amongst the rare WISE-selected sources we have been targeting: at mid-IR wavelengths, WISE J1819+4532 is ~10x brighter than similarly selected WISE sources, and more than 50x brighter than extreme Spitzer-selected sources. Assuming the local mid-IR to hard X-ray correlations, the implied intrinsic hard X-ray luminosity is L(2-10)~3e46 erg/s. WISE J1819+4532 is optically faint and the optical spectrum shows a typical obscured AGN with narrow emission lines. However, the object is infrared bright and the near-IR spectrum shows broad H-alpha emission. This implies that WISE J1819+4532 is a rare example of a an extremely luminous, semi-obscured AGN.

This remnant is of particular interest because it is expanding in a low-density medium, appears sub-energetic, and has mixed-morphology, with central thermal X-ray emission surrounded by a radio synchrotron shell. Fits to the spectrum suggest a Type Ia SNR, but the possible presence of a pulsar wind nebula challenges that interpretation. The new pointings will significantly improve the statistics for key regions (rims and background), allowing us to type the remnant, determine its age, study its energetics, place limits on nonthermal X-ray emission, and better characterize the PWN.

The combination of absorption and emission measurements provides a powerful tool in this regard. Instead of average emission and absorption measures used in previous studies, one immediate step forward would be to use emission measures close to absorption sightlines. With proposed observations we will determine emission measures close to five sightlines in which we have the most accurate absorption measurements with Chandra.

This new result shows the importance of broad X-ray coverage, currently available only with Suzaku. The most extreme of the sample sources, MCG-03-34-64 and NGC 1194, show significant spectral and flux variability above 10 keV, likely attributable to changes in the Compton-thick absorber.

Additional data from Fermi reinforce this hypothesis due to the detection of jet and cocoon structures in the southern bubble. There are signatures of the bubbles at X-ray energies, implying they contain relatively cool gas (10^6 K) and/or are influencing the Milky Way's hot gas halo. We propose Suzaku XIS observations to analyze the soft X-ray emission from these regions, which will allow us to constrain the density, temperature, and expansion velocity of these features.

As such, it may represent a key evolutionary stage in the complex interplay between AGN and the core regions of the intracluster medium (ICM). Our analysis of archival XMM-Newton data has found evidence for a relativistically broad iron line.

However, observational evidence for the connection between the putative fast nuclear AGN winds required for the formation of these large-scale outflows is missing.

Current data are unable to deliver a clear answer, as attempts to model the 0.5-10keV spectra have been plagued by degeneracies resulting from the limited bandpass, owing to the previous lack of focusing hard X-ray telescopes. Combined, Suzaku and NuSTAR will obtain high-quality spectra covering 0.5-30keV, providing powerful probes for understanding the accretion modes and nature of the central BHs. A definitive statement on the existence of either 100-1000Msun black holes or extreme accretion states will be an important legacy of both missions.

The goal here is to measure its underlying broad-band continuum with Suzaku during a low state and compare it with the 2006 high-state observations. Mkn 335 is one of the best examples of an AGN that went into a deep minimum X-ray flux state. Two competing models can explain these extreme low states: reflection models and partial covering absorber models. Both models still require a variable underlying intrinsic continuum.

In the X-ray band, PDS 456 shows a deep iron K absorption trough. One possibility is that the absorption arises from a massive 0.1c outflow, of column density 10^24 cm^-2. Such an outflow would represent a significant fraction of the quasar energy budget. A deep Suzaku observation is proposed to test this outflow model, in particular the high energy bandpass of Suzaku is essential for measuring the profile of the absorption feature and determining the kinematics of the outflow. It is also possible to differentiate between competing models for the iron K feature, most notably between an outflow and a strong reflection component from the innermost radii around a Kerr black hole.

The low and steady background of the Suzaku telescope is ideal for studying the low surface brightness X-ray emission between the clusters. Such observations will determine if the clusters are interacting via the detection of merger-induced shocks or perturbed features in the outskirts of the individual clusters.

These observations present an exciting insight into the physical conditions of the ICM at large radii, indicating a high level of clumping.

To investigate the nature of this material, high sensitivity is needed to detect relatively faint emission lines, while broad bandpass is required to constrain the primary X-ray continuum. We propose Suzaku observations (60 ksec each) of four local bright Compton-thin Seyfert2s, selected from the Swift/BAT survey with a hard X-ray flux exceeding 1e-10 cgs to form a flux-limited sample.

We have obtained optical spectra for 258 XBONGs and identified ~700 X-ray luminous Type 2 AGN at z>0.7. With known source positions and X-ray fluxes, we select sources that are relatively bright with little or no contamination from other X-ray sources. Thus we will measure individual spectra for these bright sources.

A1060 is the best cluster where we can directly observe distribution of metals produced by general cluster galaxies.

Suzaku is expected to measure the Oxygen abundance in the ISM bettern than XMM-Newton and constrain the origin of metals in the ISM and also ICM. Dark matter content around elliptical galaxies can also be constrained better than XMM-Newton.

Based on its properties, the Voorwerp was illuminated by a luminous AGN ~100,000 years ago, but the AGN host galaxy - IC 2497 - does not seem to host a sufficiently luminous AGN. Thus, IC 2497 either hosts a highly obscured AGN only detectable in hard X-rays, or it has dropped in luminosity by a factor of 10-1000. We propose to observe IC 2497 with Suzaku for 75 ksec to determine the hard X-ray luminosity and spectrum to measure the amount of obscuration and the current intrinsic luminosity of its AGN. Only with hard X-ray observations can we break the degeneracy between obscuration and decrease in luminosity.

It also has many other interesting features, such as a cold front, evidence for merger, a shock, and regions of unusually high temperature, all of which are related to the hard X-ray emission and the nonthermal activity. The more accurate measure of the spectral characteristics of the hard component, when combined with the radio and other past X-ray data, can reveal the nature of the emission process and the acceleration mechanism of the relativistic electrons, provide a means of measuring the magnetic field strength, and aid in understanding the process of formation of clusters.

We have proposed a new well-motivated candidate -- moduli dark matter, that also produces a detectable X-ray line. We propose Suzaku observations of the Segue 1 dwarf spheroidal -- the most dark matter dominated galaxy known. Its extreme nature implies that it provides the tightest constraints on sterile neutrino and moduli parameters in the event of a detection, and best limits in the absence of one. The resulting spectrum is optimal for exploring new physics, such as string theory compactification or supersymmetry breaking, and as a legacy for Astro-H.

The low-level, stable Suzaku background makes it the most sensitive instrument to-date for this purpose. At the very least, constraints that enter a significant new regime are derived: non-detections are still of great importance.

They are thought to be old, isolated galaxy groups in which the large galaxies have coalesced through dynamical friction, but recent studies reveal a more complicated picture. We propose Suzaku observations of 5 optically selected FG candidates. These targets will extend our previous survey, which identified 12 FGs; when combined with 5 FG candidates approved for the current Chandra cycle, this will create the largest uniformly-selected sample of real FGs. The L_X and T_X measured will be used with optical spectroscopy to extend FG scaling relations to low mass, and to plan deeper X-ray spectroscopic follow-up to constrain the formation epoch and evolution of these puzzling systems.

Unlike some recent observations of cluster outskirts, the gas fraction is consistent with the cosmic value, and the entropy profile at rvir is consistent with gravity-only structure formation simulations. As a fossil group, RXJ1159+5531 may be unusually relaxed at large scales. If so, the gas properties should not vary much azimuthally. We propose a complementary Suzaku observation to explore this by measuring the gas in a different azimuthal region, more than doubling the current (~27%) azimuthal coverage. Our results will help determine if gas clumping, invoked to explain the outskirts of some clusters, is ubiquitous.

Its high temperature means that we will be unaffected by any loss of effective area at low energies.

The edge-on spiral NGC 3079 hosts a Compton-thick AGN and is surrounded by a 40 kpc-scale soft X-ray nebula, the largest manifestation of outflow activity also seen in the optical and radio. Proving the outflow is AGN-driven requires Suzaku's unique abilities. We will measure the AGN luminosity using the HXD in the 15-40 keV range and the 2-10 keV band reflection spectrum to assess whether the AGN can radiatively-or-mechanically power the observed superwind. We will determine the origin of the soft X-ray nebula using the relative elemental abundances in the plasma. We can also detect any significant starburst through the 6.7 keV line emission it would create.

We propose XIS spectra of the radio source/cooling core interaction region, merger shock region, and second subcluster. The Fe K emission line will be used to measure gas velocities in these 3 regions to determine the dynamics of the merger, and to constrain hydro/N-body simulations of the merger. Collisionless merger shocks may produce detectable non-equilibrium effects.

Exploiting the low background and good sensitivity of Suzaku, we have found similar gradients in two lower mass, galaxy-scale systems, which has important implications for models of feedback and chemical enrichment. We propose to observe two more isolated elliptical galaxies, thus starting to building a sample for determining the frequency and properties of such abundance gradients in early-type galaxies.

Despite the low number of bright galaxies, their high velocity dispersions and gas temperatures indicate potential wells deeper than that of normal groups. Their measured c200 are high indicating very early formation epochs, which is in contradiction with the lack of cooling cores observed. We can constrain their ages by looking at the distribution of the SN Ia and II ejecta near their core. If they are formed more recently than normal groups by galaxy merging near the core, the central gas should have a reduction of SN Ia dominance, differently from what is observed in normal groups. We propose to test this with the most optimal and nearest fossil group, NGC6482, matching very well the capabilities of Suzaku.

In galaxy groups, the sites of most galaxies, the baryon fraction is also 1/3-1/2 of the cosmological value within half the virial radius, so the gas has been pushed further outward, probably from the heating of the same galactic superwinds. Studies with other telescopes do not go beyond half of the virial radius due to background limitations. With Suzaku, we can observe to the virial radius by using the low background XIS and choosing a galaxy group in a region of low Galactic XRB. We will discover whether the missing baryons reside in the outer parts of the group or if they have been expelled beyond the virial radius.

The nearby Seyfert ESO 511-G30 is a prime candidate for fulfilling this role due to its broad Fe K component and lack of any intrinsic warm absorption. It is also one of the X-ray brightest bare Seyferts featured in the Swift 58 month BAT catalogue as yet unobserved with Suzaku. We propose a 270 ks Suzaku observation of ESO 511-G30 to unambiguously constrain the properties of the accretion disk and subsequently the black hole spin.

A straightforward way to discriminate the thermal and nonthermal origins of the hard X-rays is to detect Fe K lines. The Suzaku XIS provides a uniquely efficient opportunity for a sensitive search for the Fe K lines, which is an excellent complement to the existing Chandra and XMM-Newton studies of SNR 1987A. Thus, we propose an 80 ks Suzaku observation of SNR 1987A.

We will take advantage of Suzaku s unique capability of detecting hard X-rays beyond 10 keV by its HXD-PIN, simultaneously with X-rays in lower to medium energy bands by its XIS on board. With our proposed studies we will gain deeper understanding of accretion-powered AGN in general. Since the IRR takes place close to the black hole we will test the effects of strong gravity, such as the black hole spin.

These measurements are crucial for an accurate determination of the gas mass profile and gas fraction, for probing the entropy profile near the region where the accretion shocks start to be important, and for exploring the chemical enrichment at a spatial scale which retains information of early SNII and SNIa enrichment.

The gas in the outskirts of galaxy clusters presents information of astrophysical and cosmological importance. Measurements at the virial radius, where the dominant gas behavior switches from infall to equilibrium, can improve cluster mass estimates. Temperature and entropy profiles in the outskirts describe the accretion history and energy balance of clusters, near where they must match the background properties of the Universe. But these observations are just beginning. How do clusters grow? Are there large scale accretion shocks? To what extent are clusters relaxed?

However, to properly model the X-ray absorption & reflection, coverage below 10 keV is needed with CCD spectral resolution and adequate signal-to-noise. We propose to observe 11 AGN with Suzaku, which will increase the completeness of a flux-limited sample with such coverage from 85 to 158 sources. The 11 AGN only have severely underexposed Swift XRT coverage below 10 keV whereas the remaining sources have either Suzaku or XMM coverage. The Suzaku data have the additional advantage of sensitivity above 10 keV that helps to mitigate the long time-baseline of the BAT spectra. The new observations will create a significantly enhanced legacy data set that will provide value for years to come.

The low and steady background of the Suzaku telescope is ideal for studying the low surface brightness X-ray emission between the clusters. Such observations will determine if the clusters are interacting via the detection of merger-induced shocks or perturbed features in the outskirts of the individual clusters.

The WHIM has been 'missing' observationally, until recent detection of the X-ray absorption due to the ionized light elements in the background quasar spectra. Still there is no confident detection of the expected soft X-ray emission. This is mainly because that the X-ray brightness is very low, compared to the Galactic diffuse emission in the soft X-ray band and/or the spectral sensitivity of previous experiments are limited. To separate the expected X-ray lines of the WHIM (mainly O VII) from the Galactic emission, we select an unique supercluster at z>0.1.

The core is X-ray peaked, has a short radiative cooling time, a temperature drop and a central radio source which is blowing bubbles in the intracluster medium. A radio minihalo extends over the central 6 arcmin. A coincident power-law component is seen in deep Chandra data. This is likely to be inverse Compton emission from the electron population responsible for the radio emission. The region is expected to be a luminous, extended, hard X-ray source easily detectable by the Suzaku HXD. Confirmation of this hard X-ray component will enable the magnetic field to be securely determined in the intracluster gas.

The soft X-ray sensitivity and spectral resolution of this observation will allow us to measure key elemental abundances and thus to test models for metal yields of massive stars. We will determine the spatial variation in the thermal and chemical properties of the hot gas and the effect on the global estimation of the chemical enrichment from an integrated spectrum, as would be obtained for a distant starburst region. We will also estimate the mass-loading from the general interstellar medium --- a key parameter for determining the evolution of the hot gas.

Understanding the gamut of ICM properties, however, requires X-ray observations of samples chosen independently of their X-ray characteristics; likewise, such samples provide a powerful tool for quantifying redshift evolution in cluster properties. We have amassed X-ray observations of 19 optically-selected clusters of galaxies, half at z~0.3 and half at z~0.8.

It has a smooth surface brightness profile and appears relaxed. Using the low background of Suzaku we will measure the temperature of the intracluster medium to the virial radius of the cluster. Its high temperature means that we will be unaffected by any loss of effective area at low energies. In addition the cluster is bright enough so that the bremsstrahlung emission will be easily detected using the PIN detector. This will allow us to search for any nonthermal component as well as accurately determining the high temperature components in the cluster.

They are thought to be old, isolated galaxy groups in which the large galaxies have coalesced through dynamical friction, but recent studies reveal a more complicated picture. We propose Suzaku observations of 5 optically selected FG candidates. These targets will extend our previous survey, which identified 12 FGs; when combined with 5 FG candidates approved for the current Chandra cycle, this will create the largest uniformly-selected sample of real FGs. The L_X and T_X measured will be used with optical spectroscopy to extend FG scaling relations to low mass, and to plan deeper X-ray spectroscopic follow-up to constrain the formation epoch and evolution of these puzzling systems.

Physical properties such as density and temperature will be studied around the virial radius. These data can place important constraints on theoretical models of clusters and their environments.

In an attempt to isolate these two variables, we propose the first detailed comparison of X-ray and optically selected clusters that are well-matched in both velocity dispersion (a quantity independent of both methods) and redshift. Our X-ray analysis of X-ray selected CNOC clusters is complete.

For the first time, gas properties have been measured to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding properties such as the cluster gas and total mass, required for cosmological studies. It is also crucial for understanding how clusters link into their surrounding environments. How do large-scale filaments channel matter into clusters? Are there associated large-scale accretion shocks? This has been possible due to Suzaku's low orbit and the low background of its FI detectors, and the study of a particularly bright cluster. We propose to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to the X-ray brightest cluster, and best target in the sky: the Perseus Cluster.

We propose to study 14 clusters at 0.15<z<0.45, for which robust velocity dispersions are measured. We were awarded Chandra observations of 8 high-dispersion, low-z targets.
