The Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center is a common facility for both research and education in the field of synchrotron radiation science. The role of the center is to promote original research, training of young scientists, international exchange and cooperative research with nationwide universities, public organizations and industries.

  • Hiroshima Astrophysical Science Center (HASC)

The HASC was founded on April 1, 2004 as an Intra-University center for education and researches on observational astronomy using their own 1.5m Kanata Telescope in intimate cooperation with X ray and gamma ray astrosatellites.
Kanata Telescope was placed in the dome of Higashi-Hiroshima Astrophysical Observatory located on a summit of Higashi-Hiroshima-shi, Shimo- Minaga. It is the largest telescope in Japan among those owned by National Universities. Unique and prompt observational researches are expected.
