Summary ◇ Suzaku observed Tycho’s SNR in June 2006. ◇ Line broadening was detected at the center of the SNR. ◇ We successfully derived velocities of ejecta for the first time, assuming the shell expansion model. ◇ Si and S ejecta have higher velocities (~3500 km s-1) than Fe ejecta (~3000 km s-1). ◇ We are looking forward to see the data from SXS/Astro-H !
