AbstractThe superbubble (SB) 30 Dor C with the strong non-thermal X-ray emission is one of the best targets for study of the cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration. We investigated X-ray spectral properties of the SB with a high spatial resolution of ~10 pc. Consequently, the spectra in the east regions can be described with a combination of absorbed thermal and non-thermal models while the spectra in the west regions can be fitted with an absorbed non-thermal model. We found that the observed photon index and intensity in 2-10 keV show variations of 2.0-3.5 and (0.6-8.0) × 10−7 erg s−1 cm−2 str−1, respectively. The results are possibly caused by the spatial variation of the CR acceleration efficiency and/or the circumstellar environment.

The effect of scintillator particle size on high-resolution X-ray imaging was studied using zinc tungstate (ZnWO4) particles. The ZnWO4 particles were fabricated through a solid-state reaction between zinc oxide and tungsten oxide at various temperatures, producing particles with average sizes of 176.4 nm, 626.7 nm, and 2.127 μm; the zinc oxide and tungsten oxide were created using anodization. The spatial resolutions of high-resolution X-ray images, obtained from utilizing the fabricated particles, were determined: particles with the average size of 176.4 nm produced the highest spatial resolution. The results demonstrate that high spatial resolution can be obtained from ZnWO4 nanoparticle scintillators that minimize optical diffusion by having a particle size that is smaller than the emission wavelength.

AbstractSoft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are peculiar X-ray sources which are believed to be magnetars: ultra-magnetized neutron stars which emission is dominated by surface fields (often in excess of 1E14 G, i.e. well above the QED threshold).Spectral analysis is an important tool in magnetar astrophysics since it can provide key information on the emission mechanisms. The first attempts at modelling the persistent (i.e. outside bursts) soft X-ray (¡10 keV) spectra of AXPs proved that a model consisting of a blackbody (kT 0.3-0.6 keV) plus a power-law (photon index 2-4) could successfully reproduce the observed emission. Moreover, INTEGRAL observations have shown that, while in quiescence, magnetars emit substantial persistent radiation also at higher energies, up to a few hundreds of keV. However, a convincing physical interpretation of the various spectral components is still missing.In this talk I will focus on the interpretation of magnetar spectral properties during quiescence. I will summarise the present status of the art and the currents attempts to model the broadband persistent emission of magnetars (from IR to hard Xrays) within a self consistent, physical scenario.
