7 Aug. 21-23, 2006 7 KJYAM 2006 @ 慶州 Suzaku X-ray Lightcurve The XIS lightcurves show almost no significant variability both in 0.5 – 2 keV and 2 – 10 keV (< 20 %). The Fe K  band (6.2 – 6.6 keV) lightcurve shows significant variation, with a time scale of 10 ksec. The HXD PIN lightcurve shows a factor of 3 variability, with a time scale of ~ 10 ksec. The HXD PIN hardness ratio stays relatively constant, indicating almost no spectral change. Time [ksec]

12 Aug. 21-23, 2006 12 KJYAM 2006 @ 慶州 Summary Suzaku observed the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4945 on 2005/08/22 and 2006/01/15. Suzaku observed the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4945 on 2005/08/22 and 2006/01/15. The X-ray signals are significantly detected in the 0.5 – 200 keV range. The X-ray signals are significantly detected in the 0.5 – 200 keV range. The wide band X-ray spectrum of NGC 4945 is decomposed into the absorbed nucleus, reflection and scattered component including significant Fe lines, and thermal emission from the host galaxies. The wide band X-ray spectrum of NGC 4945 is decomposed into the absorbed nucleus, reflection and scattered component including significant Fe lines, and thermal emission from the host galaxies. The absorbed nucleus shows a factor of 3 intensity variation, without any spectral change. The absorbed nucleus shows a factor of 3 intensity variation, without any spectral change. However, in order to finalize our result, the HXD background improved accuracy will be required. However, in order to finalize our result, the HXD background improved accuracy will be required.
