Exploring "Dark" Particle Accelerators with Suzaku
Abstract
Observations of three "dark" particle accelerators (HESS J1804-216, HESS J1614-518, and HESS J1616-508) were carried out with the Suzaku XIS, which has the lowest and most stable background, in order to catch up their nature. The first two have diffuse counterparts, whereas the last one is really dark in the X-ray band. Suzaku reveals us that the dark particle accelerators might be proton accelerators, which has been one of the big mysteries of physics for these 100 years.
