Abstract

Abstract We report on the wide-band spectra of SN1006, as observed by Suzaku. Thermal and nonthermal emissions were successfully resolved thanks to the excellent spectral response of Suzaku's X-ray CCD XIS. The nonthermal emission could not be reproduced by a simple power-law model, but needed a roll-off at 5.7$\times$10$^{16}$Hz $=$ 0.23keV. The roll-off frequency is significantly higher in the northeastern rim than in the southwestern rim. We also placed the most stringent upper limit of the flux above 10keV using the Hard X-ray Detector.
