We present the results of Suzaku observation of the radio halo cluster Abell 2319. The metal abundance in the central cool region is found to be higher than the surrounding region, which was not resolved in the former studies. We confirm that the line-of-sight velocities of the intracluster medium in the observed region are consistent with those of the member galaxies of entire A2319 and A2319A subgroup for the first time, though any velocity difference within the region is not detected. On the other hand, we do not find any signs of gas motion relevant to A2319B subgroup. Hard X-ray emission from the cluster is clearly detected, but its spectrum is likely thermal. Assuming a simple single temperature model for the thermal component, we find that the upper limit of the non-thermal inverse Compton component becomes $2.6 \times 10^{-11}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in the 10-40 keV band, which means that the lower limit of the magnetic field is 0.19 $\mu$G with the radio spectral index 0.92. Although the results slightly depend on the detailed spectral modeling, it is robust that the upper limit of the power-law component flux and lower limit of the magnetic field strength become $\sim 3 \times 10^{-11}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $\sim 0.2 \mu$G, respectively. Considering the lack of a significant amount of very hot ($\sim 20$ keV) gas and the strong bulk flow motion, it is more likely that the relativistic non-thermal electrons responsible for the radio halo are accelerated through the intracluster turbulence rather than the shocks.
Abell 2319銀河団は、z=0.0557の近傍の衝突銀河団であり、非一様な温度分布や コールドフロントが見つかっている。可視光観測から、視線方向に 二つのグループが重なっており、その速度差はおよそ3000km/s に達すると示唆されている。さらに、銀河団全体を覆う電波ハローが検出されて おり、610MHzで1Jyであることがわかっている。この放射は、銀 河団中に広がる、エネルギーがGeV程度の電子のシンクロトロン放射であると考え られる。同じGeV電子が宇宙マイクロ波背景放射の光子を逆コンプトン散乱で 放射する硬Ｘ線を検出できれば、磁場強度の決定も可能となる。
