However, a puzzling BeppoSAX observation lingers, which shows excess emission above 10 keV indicative of a Compton thick AGN. Nevertheless, rapid variability below 10 keV and meagre iron line emission (EW=60 eV) strongly argue against this conclusion. Data from the HXD will elucidate the situation, and either dispel this evidence, adding weight to the True Seyfert 2 scenario, or confirm the presence of heavily obscured emission, which may be explained by a partial covering scenario.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE. Our program will sample a wide range of inner disk radii and thereby explore the combined use of Fe K-alpha lines and kHz QPOs to probe strong gravity in X-ray binaries.

We will investigate the presence of X-ray narrow absorption features in the Suzaku spectra, which are a signature of a disk wind. Such features, identified with ions such as Fe XXV and Fe XXVI, have been observed in a number of LMXBs and give us information about the mass outflow rate and the launching mechanism of the wind. We will study the connection of the disk wind to the presence of radio jet emission with simultaneous radio observations. Finally, we will determine if the broad Fe emission line indicated by the XMM-Newton spectrum is relativistically broadened. Variability will be studied as a function of accretion rate in the two proposed observations.

Our prime objective is to systematically study the centroid energy of the fundamental cyclotron line Ecyc as a function of time, X-ray flux, 35 day phase and 1.24 s phase. These observations will contribute to answering the following questions: Is there a slow secular decrease in the value of Ecyc with time? Does Ecyc depend on 35 day phase? How stable is the positive correlation of the value of Ecyc with the X-ray luminosity?

To probe this requires accurate measurements of neutron star radii and masses. We have recently shown that broad relativistic Fe emission lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries can be used to constrain the neutron star radius. These sources also provide another tool, kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Combining a measurement of the velocity of the gas in the inner disk (from the Fe line) and the frequency of the kHz QPOs provides a method to measure the neutron star mass if kHz QPOs originate at the inner disk. We propose 100 ksec observations of GX 349+2 and GX 17+2 to provide a detailed Fe line profile. Simultaneously, we will also observe with RXTE to detect the kHz QPOs, allowing us to test this technique.

Upcoming large-scale surveys will likely reveal many such objects, but to identify them it is crucial to fully understand their properties. X Per, the archetypal source of this class, at 1 kpc from Earth is ideal target for detailed studies. In spite of that X Per is still puzzling. With the proposed program we aim to study X Per in detail, constrain its X-ray spectrum also as a function of the spin phase. Our study will be key to characterize the properties of low-luminosity X-ray pulsars population and will help to identify it in upcoming surveys.

We will use this complete sample to study the scaling law properties of the low mass systems with a view to the eROSITA survey, which is expected to detect 100,000 objects, most of them in the low mass regime. Furthermore, we will investigate the relative importance of gravitational and non-gravitational processes by studying their thermodynamical properties beyond R500.

Ingram) to test the Lense-Thirring model for the low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations seen in black hole (and neutron star) binaries. The Suzaku PIN data will enable us to extend the energy range over which the QPO can be studied, allowing us to get much better constraints on the reflection component in the QPO spectrum, and hence to more tightly probe the geometry and emission processes in the regions closest to the black hole.

The ICM is an ideal candidate since it provides a map of the DM potential. Measuring the gas properties to the virial radius is imperative for determining the proper cluster mass, since a large part of the cluster mass resides beyond 1/2 r_vir. Current discrepancies in outer cluster kT profiles are due to large uncertainties due to the high background in Chandra and XMM-Newton. With its lower background, Suzaku is able to make this measurement. We propose a 50 ks observation of A2244. A2244 is an ideal candidate to make this measurement; at a redshift of z~0.1, the virial radius can be fit inside Suzaku's field of view, moreover A2244 is an unusual example of a relaxed cluster without a cool core.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE. Our program will sample a wide range of inner disk radii and thereby explore the combined use of Fe K-alpha lines and kHz QPOs to probe strong gravity in X-ray binaries.

For the first time the gas properties have been measured in a cluster to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding the properties of clusters and for cosmological studies. They are also needed for understanding how clusters match to the outer Universe in their temperature and entropy profiles. Are there any large scale accretion shocks? How do filaments match to clusters? The observational breakthrough has been possible due to the combination of the low orbit and thus low background of the Suzaku FI detectors and particularly X-ray bright clusters. We propose here to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to an X-ray bright nearby relaxed cluster.

It revealed the existence of a highly-ionized atmosphere above the disk which is likely present in any LMXB but only detectable in the ones seen close to edge-on. We propose to observe two recently discovered dipping binaries with Suzaku, to constrain the basic astrophysical properties (orbital period, distance, variability, high energy cutoff, etc) of these yet poorly observed sources, and to further investigate the ionized atmosphere in X-ray binaries in general.

Unsatisfied with this apparent contradiction, we seek Suzaku observations with two main aims. First, high energy observations with the HXD can reveal whether a deeply buried AGN is present above 10 keV. Second, the XIS observations will probe sensitively for short time-scale variability below 10 keV, the detection of which would establish unambiguously that the objects have genuinely unobscured nuclei and rule out the alternatives of scattered light or X-ray binaries.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE. Our program will sample a wide range of inner disk radii and thereby explore the combined use of Fe K-alpha lines and kHz QPOs to probe strong gravity in X-ray binaries.

They belong to a class of O stars which show significantly weaker mass loss than predicted by the theory of radiation-driven winds. In this respect they resemble the first generation of stars in the early universe, which presumably had only weak winds due to their low metallicity. As explanation for the weak-wind phenomenon it has been suggested that X-rays affect the ionization balance and thus lead to a reduction of the wind-driving force. To check this hypothesis the proposed Suzaku observations are needed. The new data will allow us to discriminate between possible mechanisms for the generation of X-rays, such as magnetic wind confinement or dynamical friction, and serve as input parameters in numerical models.

Quasi-periodic hour-long flux oscillations were recently observed during INTEGRAL serendipitous observations and by EXOSAT in 1985. They appear to happen at the viscous time-scale of a disk, evidencing some kind of instability in the transition zone between the magnetosphere and the accretion disk. The broad-band coverage and sensitivity of Suzaku will allow us to investigate in detail the opening of the magnetic gate for this high-magnetic field neutron star by studying the high time resolution light curve, the shape of its pulsed signal and the spectral properties.

SUZAKU data will allow to compare the X-ray spectra of these objects that have similar stellar and wind parameters yet different magnetospheres. These observations will result in the first firm X-ray detections of our target stars. The analysis of XIS spectra will determine the emission measures and the temperatures of the hot gas.

It is likely that this object belongs to the class of offset pulsar wind nebula (PWN), accelerating electrons and positrons up to ~100 TeV. So far no sensitive X-ray observations of this region have taken place. The synchrotron spectrum of the nebula is predicted to peak in the energy range of the Suzaku HXD. The unprecedented high energy sensitivity of this instrument is required to study the highest energy particles accelerated in this object. Spectral measurements by Suzaku would confirm the inverse-Compton origin of the VHE gamma-rays and place tight constraints on the maximum energy of accelerated electrons.

We propose to observe the non-thermal X-ray source AX J1714.1-3912 to investigate its relationship with the SNR RX J1713.7-3946. ASCA observations have shown that the hard spectrum of the source may be associated with bremsstrahlung emission from particles accelerated in the SNR and diffusing in a nearby molecular cloud. This emission has never been observed in other SNRs. However, the association of the source with the remnant is still controversial and the ASCA data do not allow us to constrain the spectral properties.

They have a shell-type morphology in the radio, but the X-ray emission is centrally dominated. X-ray spectroscopy of several of these supernova remnants, indicate that their central plasma is often over-ionised and have enhanced abundances. Here we propose to study a typical member of this class, which has so far not received much attention, despite being bright and only mildly absorbed: 3C400.2. The remnant can be covered with four pointings, and is bright enough for imaging spectroscopy on the scale of the Suzaku PSF.

This will allow to robustly model the spectrum in terms of a hard power-law and a Comptonization component from the scattering of `cold' electrons in the jet onto the soft nuclear photon field, as qualitatively hinted by XMM-Newton available data. This would be the first detection of such a feature in blazars and would directly and uniquely give information on the power of the relativistic jets in this source.

Six (~75%) of the eight ULIRGs in our sample for which we already have sensitive >2keV constraints host AGN activity, indicating that black-hole growth is ubiqitious in the most luminous local galaxies. Our proposed observations are sensitive enough to identify luminous AGN activity (L_X=3x10^{43} erg/s) out to ~40keV, to accurately quantify the properties of less luminous AGN activity, and to identify and quantify the star-formation activity. In addition the results will be used to better understand the z~2 ULIRG population, the likely progenitors of todays massive galaxies.

At low flux levels their 2-10~keV spectra are hard, with a huge excess at lower energies. Conversely, at high fluxes, the same objects show a soft 2-10 keV spectrum, with moderate soft excess. This behaviour can be explained either by reflection or absorption models. It is important to distinguish between these scenarios as they imply critical differences in the inferred physics of the accretion flow. There is already good Suzaku data on the hard 2-10 keV spectra from a GT observation of NGC4051. We propose to compare this with 100ks of data from Akn564, the brightest NLS1 at 10keV having a soft 2-10keV spectrum, so as to use the full range of spectral behaviour seen in NLS1's to determine the origin of the soft excess.

Although limited to bright X-ray fluxes (~1e-11 erg/cm2/s), the large area surveyed so far has allowed to build up sizable samples of hard X-ray selected AGN almost unbiased against X-ray absorption. On the basis of a careful analysis of the available X-ray observations below 10 keV, we identified a sample of relatively bright AGN which are likely to be obscured by Compton-thick (logN_H >24) cold gas. Two of them were observed in EAO-1 and the results confirmed our predictions. We propose further Suzaku observations of 3 bright objects (F(20-40 keV) ~ 0.7-1.4 x 1e-11 erg/cm2/s) which will allow us to unveil previously unknown nearby heavily obscured AGN.

There are now thought to be at least two warm absorber components in MR 2251-178; a low ionisation soft X-ray absorber and a putative high velocity (13000 km/s) high ionisation wind, which exhibits absorption lines in the iron K-shell band. We propose a 130 ks observation with Suzaku of MR 2251-178 with the primary goals; (i) to establish the nature of the high ionisation absorber, e.g. an accretion disk wind, through unprecedented high S/N observations in the iron K band with XIS; (ii) to determine the physical parameters of the soft X-ray warm absorber and (iii) to characterise the ionised reflection component and high-energy cut-off thanks to the high energy sensitivity of the HXD.

We have selected a well-defined sample of 31 Compton-thick candidates on the basis on their FX/FIR and X-ray colors. Due to the heavy obscuration, data above 10 keV are fundamental to unveil these sources.

The broadband and the good energy resolution will allow to investigate the spectral behaviour at low energies, and in particular to constraint true absorption $vs$ continuum features scenario. Particularly intriguing is the possible presence of a bulk Compton motion component. A self consistent test of this model could be derived by measuring the peak energy of the Inverse Compton component in the SED, a requirement that further strenghtens the need of a broadband observation with Suzaku. Simultaneous optical, hard X and gamma-ray observations available through WEBT, INTEGRAL and AGILE will also improve the feasibility of the proposed program.

Due to their heavy obscuration, good statistics at 6.4 keV and data above 10 keV are needed to assess the real nature of these sources.

The main aim of the proposal is to determine in detail the parameters of the disk, which is possible only with a high quality broad band observation which permits to control the continuum beneath the line. Presently, only Suzaku has the right combination of sensitivity, energy resolution and broad band coverage to achieve this objective.

With its wide energy coverage and good response, Suzaku will allow us to determine with unprecedented precision the spectral properties of the sources in the hard, medium and soft X-ray ranges, allowing us to measure the physical properties of the emitting relativistic electrons and, complemented by data at other frequencies, to infer the physical conditions in the emitting region.

However the current data are unable to resolve the components of the absorber so very little is known about its properties. We propose to obtain a 200 ks definitive Chandra HETG observation of Mrk 1040 from 0.5-9.0 keV where we will resolve the lines for the first time enabling a detailed analysis of the kinematics and energetics to be made. We will also obtain the first high-resolution spectrum > 2 keV in this source allowing us to resolve the narrow Fe K alpha core. Furthermore, through a 125 ks Suzaku observation we will also study the Fe K complex in unprecedented detail while simultaneously determining the origin of the hard excess.

It was observed twice with high-quality X-ray spectrometers on-board the XMM-Newton satellite. The two observations are separated by half a year and the spectra significantly differ from each other. The difference can be well explained by a variable covering fraction of a cold (very low-ionised) absorber (Ricci et al., 2010). Two additional Swift data, separated by five days, suggest that the variability may occur at time-scales as short as a few days. The ultimate goal of the proposal is to locate this variable absorber by the determination of the typical time-scale of the variability. We therefore propose a series of observations of Fairall 51 with short exposures.

For the first time the gas properties have been measured in a cluster to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding the properties of clusters and for cosmological studies. They are also needed for understanding how clusters match to the outer Universe in their temperature and entropy profiles. Are there any large scale accretion shocks? How do filaments match to clusters? The observational breakthrough has been possible due to the combination of the low orbit and thus low background of the Suzaku FI detectors and particularly X-ray bright clusters. We propose here to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to an X-ray bright nearby relaxed cluster.

The changes in both the continuum and the He- and H- like Fe K absorption features during dips have been demonstrated to be consistent with a change in the properties of the photoionized absorbers present in these systems. We will use the XIS to characterise the absorbers and the HXD to uniquely determine the underlying continuum shapes including any contributions due to reflection components.

We propose to observe 19 galaxy groups with a total exposure time of 230 ks to complete observations for a flux limited sample. We will use this complete sample to study the scaling law properties of the low mass systems with a view to the eROSITA survey, which is expected to detect 100,000 objects, most of them in the low mass regime. Furthermore, we will investigate the relative importance of gravitational and non-gravitational processes by studying their thermodynamical properties beyond R500.

Their broad band X-ray spectra show a high degree of complexity and a wide range of the relative intensities of the various components (i.e. scattered/reflected fraction; iron line intensity, etc.). We propose a medium/deep Suzaku observation of a bright source detected by INTEGRAL above 15 keV and optically identified with a nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy. Besides the various soft X-ray components, the flat 2-10 keV spectrum and the strong (EW ~ 1 keV) iron line present in an archival XMM-Newton observation strongly suggest that the nucleus is obscured by Compton-Thick gas.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE.

They belong to a class of O stars which show significantly weaker mass loss than predicted by the theory of radiation-driven winds. In this respect they resemble the first generation of stars in the early universe, which presumably had only weak winds due to their low metallicity. As explanation for the weak-wind phenomenon it has been suggested that X-rays affect the ionization balance and thus lead to a reduction of the wind-driving force. To check this hypothesis the proposed Suzaku observations are needed. The new data will allow us to discriminate between possible mechanisms for the generation of X-rays, such as magnetic wind confinement or dynamical friction, and serve as input parameters in numerical models.

The data will provide information about the structure and ionization state of the accreted medium, as well as of the geometry of the accretion column and the strength of the magnetic field. No high-resolution CCD spectra of this source have been published so far. The source shows flaring behavior, so the wind is expected to be strongly clumped, which could be probed by studying the evolution of N_H and the iron line with high time resolution.

This constrains the radius of the neutron star. The second goal is to constrain the continuum using more physical model than was used in the literature so far.

XIS data will provide important information on the iron K-shell features, and the broad-band spectral capabilities of the HXD will allow to study the hard X-ray spectrum and in particular the Compton reflection bump at 20-50 keV. We plan to fit both the iron features and the reflection bump with a self-consistent model, which will allow to prove (or disprove) a disk origin of the iron line. Moreover the proposed observation will allow to study the correlation between the spectral index of the primary spectrum and the reflection amplitude, which gives important constraints on the geometry of the system.

We propose a 150 ks observation with Suzaku to study the Fe line profile which in the short XMM-Newton observation shows some structure. If the iron line will turn out to be originated from the accretion disc, the lack of the BLR cannot be attributed to the lack of ionizing photons; if originated from the torus, this would put constraints on models assuming a common origin for the torus and the BLR; if the presence of an ionized iron line is confirmed, a BLR might exist but so highly ionized to be invisible at optical/UV wavelengths. An important added value of this observation is to confirm NGC3147 as a true Seyfert 2 by ruling out a Compton-thick nature, which only Suzaku can do thanks to its hard X-ray coverage.

It is famous for a variety of uncommon and puzzling periodic photometric and spectroscopic variabilities. Tovmassian, Zharikov & Neustroev (2007) proposed that the precession of a fast-rotating magnetically accreting white dwarf can successfully explain these phenomena. We request 62 ks observations of FS Aur to detect the magnetic WD, determine its spin period, confirm the flux and spectral variability with the precession period, inconclusively detected by Chandra and Swift, and thus to check the proposed model. The theory of compact objects predicts certain relations between the spin and precession periods, and our findings will provide a good test for the theory.

In the optical, it has unusually narrow lines for a NLS1. X-ray observations of the source are rare, but based on an XMM-Newton observation a strong reflection 'hump' is predicted. The source is therefore a critical one in the investigation of relativistically blurred photoionized disc reflection models. A detailed Suzaku observation will provide improved data quality in the XIS waveband, allow investigation of spectral variability in this waveband, and constrain the amount of reflection independently by using the HXD.

Suzaku is unique for this task, because thanks to its broad band it may probe column densities up to several times 10^24 cm^-2 in this source, which has never been observed above 10 keV.

With its clear warm absorber and reflection component, it is often taken as the prototypical Sey 1 galaxy. Its X-ray variability is strong enough (and on a sufficiently long time scale, ideal for Suzaku) to make multiple observations critical for probing the origin of the Compton reflection component, and to attempt measuring variations of the high energy cut-off. We thus propose 5x20 ks observations to monitor i) the correlated variability of the reflection continuum plus FeK line to primary continuum variations, and ii) the variations in the high-E cut-off, and their relation with the power-law, and iii) check the evidence for a blueshifted (v~0.1c) FeK absorption line at ~7.7 keV.

Previous observations show evidence for reflection from highly ionized matter, absorption features in the 8-10 keV band, and a possible roll-over of the continuum spectrum at around 30 keV. The observation goal is to elucidate the continuum roll-over and to investigate variability of the spectral features, which would have many important implications for the physical condition and the geometry of the accretion disc and the illuminating source. This study will provide crucial keys to understand the geometry of primary X-ray source and immediate surroundings. The broad-band coverage and the high sensitivity at the hard X-ray band provided by Suzaku are ideally suited to study this unique AGN.

It is therefore an ideal object to test our understanding of galaxy activity and mergers and for studying feedback between AGN and their host galaxies. We propose an 80 ksec Suzaku observation to: (i) determine the amount and ionisation state of the nuclear obscuring material in PKS1549-79 and hence confirm its status as a local proto-quasar; (ii) search for the massive, probably highly ionised, outflowing wind predicted by galaxy evolution models and hence complete a census of outflow components in this object; and (iii) quantify the high energy spectrum.

The distinction between LINER nuclei and other families of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can be due to different amounts and/or properties of the obscuring material. A high population of LINERs are Compton-thick candidates. However the Equivalent Width (EW) of the FeKa emission line are lower than those measured for Compton-thick AGN. We propose to use the unprecedented sensitivity of HXD and XIS on board Suzaku to study NGC4102, one of the brightest LINER in the 36-month Swift/BAT survey. NGC4102 is a Compton-thick LINER candidate with EW(FeKa)<500keV, it is therefore an ideal case to investigate the properties of absorption and the FeKa emission line.

From our analysis of past XMM-Newton observations, it shows a prominent and variable soft excess down to a two-day timescale. In 2000, an unusual FeK profile was found with an unresolved narrow line at 6.4keV and a broadened line centered at 6.7keV; while in 2006 a broad line has been observed near 6.4keV with a visible energy shift to 6.5keV occurring when the source flux increased. Our aims are to: (i) determine the FeK origin from its profile, and its possible variability on sub-orbital time-scales, (ii) to obtain an unprecedented simultaneous measurement of the Compton hump which is critical for modelling the true FeK profile (iii) and hence to infer a global picture of this object.

IRAS 09104+4109 is a hyperluminous Type 2 quasar embedded in a central cluster galaxy at redshift 0.442. It is likely to be the hard-X-ray-brightest such object observed with Suzaku and could well be the prototype Compton-thick Type 2 quasar.

They have a shell-type morphology in the radio, but the X-ray emission is centrally dominated. X-ray spectroscopy of several of these supernova remnants, indicate that their central plasma is often over-ionised and have enhanced abundances. Here we propose to study a typical member of this class, which has so far not received much attention, despite being bright and only mildly absorbed: 3C400.2. The remnant can be covered with four pointings, and is bright enough for imaging spectroscopy on the scale of the Suzaku PSF. This will enable us to study spectroscopic variation, confirm the preliminary detection of an RRC and map its distribution, and study the abundances.

It was observed twice with high-quality X-ray spectrometers on-board the XMM-Newton satellite. The two observations are separated by half a year and the spectra significantly differ from each other. The difference can be well explained by a variable covering fraction of a cold (very low-ionised) absorber (Ricci et al., 2010). Two additional Swift data, separated by five days, suggest that the variability may occur at time-scales as short as a few days. The ultimate goal of the proposal is to locate this variable absorber by the determination of the typical time-scale of the variability. We therefore propose a series of observations of Fairall 51 with short exposures.

For the first time the gas properties have been measured in a cluster to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding the properties of clusters and for cosmological studies. They are also needed for understanding how clusters match to the outer Universe in their temperature and entropy profiles. Are there any large scale accretion shocks? How do filaments match to clusters? The observational breakthrough has been possible due to the combination of the low orbit and thus low background of the Suzaku FI detectors and particularly X-ray bright clusters. We propose here to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to an X-ray bright nearby relaxed cluster.

The proposed observations will provide rare high quality spectra of NLS1s in the 0.5-50keV band. The good quality data above 10keV will dramatically help us removing the spectral degeneracies inherent to limited bandpass analysis (such as that with XMM-Newton and Chandra) and the ambiguities between the different proposed models invoked to explain the unique spectral and variability properties of these most extreme class of high accretion rate sources.

Previous attempts to measure robust temperatures at cluster virial radii failed. Here, we demonstrate that such measurements are feasible now for the first time with the Suzaku X-ray CCDs, using our observation of the cluster A2204, carefully treating background and PSF. To determine the temperature profile of the cluster population as a whole, more such observations are required. We show that A2163 is the optimal complementary target for such an investigation. We, therefore, propose to observe A2163 to measure the gas temperature to 15% accuracy out to the virial radius.

It shows up to a factor of five variability while keeping its spectral shape constant. Previous short XMM-Newton observations show that it is probably reflection-dominated, where light-bending effects are at their extreme. This is the only known object that shows such high variability while remaining in a reflection-dominated state. All other known objects show reflection-dominated spectra only when in a faint state, making their study very difficult. This object is reflection-dominated yet bright enough to study with relatively short exposures.Here we propose to observe this object for 80 ks. The goal is to detect the reflection hump using Suzaku capabilities above 10 keV and probe light-bending around this black hole.

These objects could possibly be explained as dynamically very young clusters, which have not yet formed a central core. Three such clusters in our XMM-Newton study of an unbiased sub-sample of 33 galaxy clusters, REXCESS, show suprisingly high entropies in their centers which does not readily support the early formation stage. To shed more light on the nature of these clusters we propose to observe two extremely low surface brightness clusters at low redshift, for which we also have detailed optical data.

A fleeting glimpse of the unique quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in this source has shown a complex timing behaviour with the emission below ~2 keV apparently crucial to its presence. Thus by understanding the origin and properties of the soft emission we can probe the physical mechanism of signals that cannot be resolved in stellar mass X-ray binaries but must be associated with the regions closest to the black hole. A new observation with Suzaku will allow a much deeper analysis of the soft emission and will shed light on how its changing properties can trigger such unique behaviour as the QPO.

It is understood that the X-ray source is compact at low-fluxes, and increases in size at higher fluxes. Thus variable sources are essential for probing the physics of the innermost regions. Previous studies of the low-flux 'state' have been limited by low count rates. We propose to observe PG 1404+226, which shares many properties of other AGN showing reverberation, but even at low-fluxes, it is a factor of three brighter than similar objects. This source, never before observed with Suzaku, provides a unique opportunity for probing strong-field accretion because of its high luminosity and variability.

It was observed twice with high-quality X-ray spectrometers on-board the XMM-Newton satellite. The two observations are separated by half a year and the spectra significantly differ from each other. The difference can be well explained by a variable covering fraction of a cold (very low-ionised) absorber (Ricci et al., 2010). Two additional Swift data, separated by five days, suggest that the variability may occur at time-scales as short as a few days. The ultimate goal of the proposal is to locate this variable absorber by the determination of the typical time-scale of the variability. We therefore propose a series of observations of Fairall 51 with short exposures.

However, it's still debated if groups can be treated as simply scaled-down clusters. Precise calibration needs to account for systematics due to the complex baryonic physics. Detailed and extended measurements out to large radii have the potential of accomplish this by exploring most of the system's volume and getting rid of biases derived from extrapolations. Suzaku is a powerful tool to address these studies with massive cluster, but we propose to demonstrate that by selecting the optimal target this can be extended to groups. We also show promising results from our Suzaku analysis of cluster outskirts.

Thanks to its low background, Suzaku has allowed for the first time to measure the thermodynamical properties of the ICM out to the virial radius. Recently, we used archival ROSAT observations to detect cluster emission out to large radii and quantify the deviations from spherical symmetry. Based on this work, we propose to map the outskirts of Hydra A, which was found to have the highest azimuthal scatter. This will allow us to measure the temperature profiles out to the virial radius and infer the bias on the mean thermodynamical properties and the mass reconstruction when clusters are observed along preferential directions.

For the first time the gas properties have been measured in a cluster to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding the properties of clusters and for cosmological studies. They are also needed for understanding how clusters match to the outer Universe in their temperature and entropy profiles. Are there any large scale accretion shocks? How do filaments match to clusters? The observational breakthrough has been possible due to the combination of the low orbit and thus low background of the Suzaku FI detectors and particularly X-ray bright clusters. We propose here to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to an X-ray bright nearby relaxed cluster.

Although limited to bright X-ray fluxes (~10^-11 cgs), the large area surveyed so far has allowed to build up sizable sa mples of hard X-ray selected AGN almost unbiased against X-ray absorption. The AGN content of these surveys is dominated by obscured AGN. We have identified 3 objects which are most likely obscured by Compton-thick matter and very bright above 10 keV.

The classification as a VHE Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) was confirmed by observations of the region with XMM-Newton and Suzaku. XMM showed a compact X-ray PWN around the pulsar, whereas Suzaku revealed low surface brightness emission close to the VHE source. To morphologically connect this low surface brightness emission to the X-ray PWN, we propose another short, 20 ksec Suzaku pointing, aiming between the VHE source center and the pulsar location. The data will allow to identify the new Suzaku source with the compact X-ray PWN. The spectra will be used to investigate the unusual particle energy distribution that is derived from the hard VHE spectrum.

Moreover, the proposed observation will provide an extremely good spectrum, which will allow us to measure the iron line width, its Compton Shoulder and the ionization stage of iron.

With its clear warm absorber and reflection component, it is often taken as the prototypical Sey 1 galaxy. Its X-ray variability is strong enough (and on a sufficiently long time scale, ideal for Suzaku) to make multiple observations critical for probing the origin of the Compton reflection component, and to attempt measuring variations of the high energy cut-off. We thus propose 5x20 ks observations to monitor i) the correlated variability of the reflection continuum plus FeK line to primary continuum variations, and ii) the variations in the high-E cut-off, and their relation with the power-law, and iii) check the evidence for a blueshifted (v~0.1c) FeK absorption line at ~7.7 keV.

Previous attempts to measure temperatures at the cluster virial radius have failed. Here we show that such measurements appear feasible now for the first time with the Suzaku X-ray CCDs. Furthermore, we show that A2204 and A2163 are optimal targets for such an investigation. We, therefore, propose to observe A2204 for 55 ks and A2163 for 100 ks to measure the gas temperature to 10% and 15% accuracy (1-sigma), respectively, out to the cluster virial radii.

We plan to utilize the sensitivity and capability of the Suzaku XIS to resolve the OVIII/OVII lines.With grating observations the absence of the forbidden line in the latter was found to provide strong evidence for the presence of accretion in the X-ray spectra of a few cTTS. With the increased sensitivity of Suzaku the presence of soft X-ray excesses can be demonstrated in a far larger sample of stars, and we want to demonstrate the existence of a soft X-ray, probably accretion induced component in cTTS with extremely hot coronae exhibiting the presence of the 6.7 keV iron line complex in their spectra.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE. Our program will sample a wide range of inner disk radii and thereby explore the combined use of Fe K-alpha lines and kHz QPOs to probe strong gravity in X-ray binaries.

The source exhibits regular outbursts once per orbit. Several of these outbursts have been observed in the past showing that the spectral shape remains constant between outbursts. Since we were able to improve the orbital ephemeris it is possible to predict future outbursts of the source. The source is currently (MJD 56245) exhibiting a giant type II outburst showing that the companion has ejected large amounts of material. We therefore propose to observe the system after this outburst to check for spectral and temporal changes and to study the iron line complex to derive the amount and ionization state of the material.

Thanks to its low background, Suzaku has allowed for the first time to measure the thermodynamical properties of the ICM out to the virial radius. Recently, we used archival ROSAT observations to detect cluster emission out to large radii and quantify the deviations from spherical symmetry. Based on this work, we propose to map the outskirts of Hydra A, which was found to have the highest azimuthal scatter.

This catalogue has revealed a new population of clusters previously undetected by X-ray surveys. The Planck SZ selected cluster sample consists of hot, massive, morphologically disturbed clusters that are under-luminous in the soft X-ray band. This exciting population has implications not only for understanding the thermodynamic state of the intracluster medium, but also for cluster cosmology where it represents an important area of phase space in the cluster mass function; it is a pointer to the dynamics of how clusters form through mergers, and to the true spatial density of cluster-mass structures not represented in X-ray surveys.

However, it's still debated if groups can be treated as simply scaled-down clusters. Precise calibration needs to account for systematics due to the complex baryonic physics. Detailed and extended measurements out to large radii have the potential of accomplish this by exploring most of the system's volume and getting rid of biases derived from extrapolations. Suzaku is a powerful tool to address these studies with massive cluster, but we propose to demonstrate that by selecting the optimal target this can be extended to groups. We also show promising results from our Suzaku analysis of cluster outskirts.

Thanks to its low background, Suzaku has allowed for the first time to measure the thermodynamical properties of the ICM out to the virial radius. Recently, we used archival ROSAT observations to detect cluster emission out to large radii and quantify the deviations from spherical symmetry. Based on this work, we propose to map the outskirts of Hydra A, which was found to have the highest azimuthal scatter. This will allow us to measure the temperature profiles out to the virial radius and infer the bias on the mean thermodynamical properties and the mass reconstruction when clusters are observed along preferential directions.

Our prime objective is to systematically study the centroid energy of the fundamental cyclotron line Ecyc as a function of time, X-ray flux, 35 day phase and 1.24 s phase. These observations will contribute to answering the following questions: Is there a slow secular decrease in the value of Ecyc with time? Does Ecyc depend on 35 day phase? How stable is the positive correlation of the value of Ecyc with the X-ray luminosity?

The flux of SN 1987A continues to rise exponentially with an e-folding time of ~800 days. The abundances in the ejecta could be measured with unprecedented accuracy. We confirm that Oxygen and Iron are significantly underabundant with respect to other elements, indicating the formation of dust, maybe even black rust grains (Fe3O4). We propose to monitor the chemical evolution of SN 1987A with Suzaku for 40 ksec in AO-1, where we expect about twice the previous flux. The exponential brightening and the chemical abundance is expected to change, when the full inner ring is engulfed. Simultaneously we can search for a periodic hard signal from the putative pulsar.

One of these shrapnel (A) is distinct from the others in that its X-ray spectrum exhibits a high Si abundance, while the other shrapnel exhibit enhanced O, Ne, and Mg abundances. One unexplored ejecta shrapnel (G) is located on the opposite side of the remnant from shrapnel A, suggesting that the SN explosion may have resulted in a jet-counterjet Si-rich structure, reminiscent of Cas A. We propose to observe this shrapnel for the first time to determine if it is also Si-rich like shrapnel A. If this is the case, the Vela SNR may be the first direct evidence of a jet-induced SN explosion.

X-ray spectroscopy of several of these supernova remnants, indicate that their central plasma is often over-ionised and have enhanced abundances. Here we propose to study a typical member of this class, which has so far not received much attention, despite being bright and only mildly absorbed: 3C400.2. The remnant can be covered with four pointings, and is bright enough for imaging spectroscopy on the scale of the Suzaku PSF.

This will constrain the disc emission and Fe line profile in this state, both of which are currently very controversial. LMC X-3 has very low interstellar absorption, so gives the best view of the low temperature/low luminosity disc component in this state. Its moderate flux means it can be observed in standard imaging modes without pileup (further enhancing visibility of the disc as these modes are well calibrated down to 0.4 keV) and making the Fe line profile analysis straightforward. Historically LMC X-3 enters a low/hard state on average once a year. Suzaku will be triggered based on an alert from our Swift monitoring program that the source has entered the low/hard state.

These objects could possibly be explained as dynamically very young clusters, which have not yet formed a central core. Three such clusters in our XMM-Newton study of an unbiased sub-sample of 33 galaxy clusters, REXCESS, show suprisingly high entropies in their centers which does not readily support the early formation stage. To shed more light on the nature of these clusters we propose to observe two extremely low surface brightness clusters at low redshift, for which we also have detailed optical data.

For the first time the gas properties have been measured in a cluster to beyond the virial radius. This is important for understanding the properties of clusters and for cosmological studies. They are also needed for understanding how clusters match to the outer Universe in their temperature and entropy profiles. Are there any large scale accretion shocks? How do filaments match to clusters? The observational breakthrough has been possible due to the combination of the low orbit and thus low background of the Suzaku FI detectors and particularly X-ray bright clusters. We propose here to exploit Suzaku's unique capability to extend this result to an X-ray bright nearby relaxed cluster.

Thanks to its low background, Suzaku has allowed for the first time to measure the thermodynamical properties of the ICM out to the virial radius. Recently, we used archival ROSAT observations to detect cluster emission out to large radii and quantify the deviations from spherical symmetry. Based on this work, we propose to map the outskirts of Hydra A, which was found to have the highest azimuthal scatter. This will allow us to measure the temperature profiles out to the virial radius and infer the bias on the mean thermodynamical properties and the mass reconstruction when clusters are observed along preferential directions.

They have a shell-type morphology in the radio, but the X-ray emission is centrally dominated. X-ray spectroscopy of several of these supernova remnants, indicate that their central plasma is often over-ionised and have enhanced abundances. Here we propose to study a typical member of this class, which has so far not received much attention, despite being bright and only mildly absorbed: 3C400.2. The remnant can be covered with four pointings, and is bright enough for imaging spectroscopy on the scale of the Suzaku PSF. This will enable us to study spectroscopic variation, confirm the preliminary detection of an RRC and map its distribution, and study the abundances.

We propose a 125 ks Suzaku observation of this AGN, which provides a unique opportunity to probe the innermost accretion disk in the region of strong gravity. The main goals are: (a) utilise the unique broad bandpass of Suzaku to detect the expected strong reflection hump and determine the form of the X-ray continuum; (b) accurately measure the relativistic iron K line profile and thereby the geometry of the X-ray emitting region and (c) determine whether the iron line responds to the continuum down to the orbital timescales of the inner disk.

With its clear warm absorber and reflection component, it is often taken as the prototypical Sey 1 galaxy. Its X-ray variability is strong enough (and on a sufficiently long time scale, ideal for Suzaku) to make multiple observations critical for probing the origin of the Compton reflection component, and to attempt measuring variations of the high energy cut-off. We thus propose 5x20 ks observations to monitor i) the correlated variability of the reflection continuum plus FeK line to primary continuum variations, and ii) the variations in the high-E cut-off, and their relation with the power-law, and iii) check the evidence for a blueshifted (v~0.1c) FeK absorption line at ~7.7 keV.

From our Spitzer-IRS mid-IR spectroscopy, we have found the first evidence for an obscured AGN in NGC 1448. On the basis of this data, NGC 1448 appears to be harboring a rapidly growing small obscured black hole (M_BH ~ 6x10^5 M_Sun; Eddington ratio of >0.1), and therefore appears to be an analog of the nearby Compton-thick AGN NGC 4945. To date, no sensitive hard X-ray constraints exist for NGC 1448, which are required to provide a direct measurement of the absorption and mass accretion rate, and thus to test if NGC 1448 is also a Compton-thick AGN.

B3 0309+411 has been already followed-up with XMM-Newton and, the XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL data suggests that the source could 1) be strongly reflection-dominated; 2) exhibit extreme flux/spectral variability; 3) be severely affected by absorption. The Suzaku observation will unveil the puzzling spectral shape of this peculiar BLRG, allowing to determine with accuracy the reflection properties which would have a large impact on our understanding of the disk/jet contribution in BLRG.

It was observed twice with high-quality X-ray spectrometers on-board the XMM-Newton satellite. The two observations are separated by half a year and the spectra significantly differ from each other. The difference can be well explained by a variable covering fraction of a cold (very low-ionised) absorber (Ricci et al., 2010). Two additional Swift data, separated by five days, suggest that the variability may occur at time-scales as short as a few days. The ultimate goal of the proposal is to locate this variable absorber by the determination of the typical time-scale of the variability. We therefore propose a series of observations of Fairall 51 with short exposures.

In low accretion rate AGN, where does the optically thick part of the accretion disk stop? Does it go in to within a few gravitational radii of the black hole, as in higher accretion rate Seyfert galaxies, or does it stop hundreds of gravitational radii from the black hole? Using NuSTAR and Suzaku spectra we will measure the strengths of the Compton reflection hump, Fe K alpha, Fe XXV and Fe XXVI lines. This will determine whether the Fe K alpha line is produced by reflection off the optically thick outer disk, or is produced in the optically thin inner flow. We will measure the reflection fraction and constrain the source geometry and disk transition radius.

Although limited to bright X-ray fluxes (~1e-11 erg/cm2/s), the large area surveyed so far has allowed to build up sizable samples of hard X-ray selected AGN almost unbiased against X-ray absorption. On the basis of a careful analysis of the available X-ray observations below 10 keV, we identified a sample of relatively bright AGN which are likely to be obscured by Compton-thick (logN_H >24) cold gas. Two of them were observed in EAO-1 and the results confirmed our predictions. We propose further Suzaku observations of 3 bright objects (F(20-40 keV) ~ 0.7-1.4 x 1e-11 erg/cm2/s) which will allow us to unveil previously unknown nearby heavily obscured AGN.

The changes in both the continuum and the He- and H- like Fe K absorption features during dips have been recently demonstrated to be consistent with a change in the properties of the photoionized absorbers present in these systems. We will use the XIS to characterise the photoionised absorbers and reliably determine the values of the ionization parameter for each source, and the simultaneous spectra of HXD to uniquely determine the underlying continuum shapes including any contributions due to reflection components and to extend the photoionized absorber fits to higher energies.

These lines can be used to set tight constrains on the accretion disk geometry and the radius of the neutron star. 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 kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs). However, contemporaneous measurements in one of these systems appear to contradict this picture. We propose to observe 4U 1820-30 with Suzaku, simultaneously with RXTE.

Our prime objective is to systematically study the centroid energy of the fundamental cyclotron line Ecyc as a function of time, X-ray flux, 35 day phase and 1.24 s phase. These observations will contribute to answering the following questions: Is there a slow secular decrease in the value of Ecyc with time? Does Ecyc depend on 35 day phase? How stable is the positive correlation of the value of Ecyc with the X-ray luminosity?

Specifically we intend to utilize Suzaku's sensitivity, low background and the capability of the XIS to resolve the OVIII Ly-alpha line from the OVII triplet. XMM-Newton and Chandra grating spectra provide strong evidence for the presence of accretion induced X-ray emission in CTTS, however, due to low SNR and the presence of absorption an accretion scenario often cannot be probed within reasonable exposure times. With the proposed observations we want to investigate a sample of these CTTS showing additional exceptional properties.

Thanks to its low background, Suzaku has allowed for the first time to measure the thermodynamical properties of the ICM out to the virial radius. Recently, we used archival ROSAT observations to detect cluster emission out to large radii and quantify the deviations from spherical symmetry. Based on this work, we propose to map the outskirts of Hydra A, which was found to have the highest azimuthal scatter. This will allow us to measure the temperature profiles out to the virial radius and infer the bias on the mean thermodynamical properties and the mass reconstruction when clusters are observed along preferential directions.
