Erratum: Suzaku and Chandra study of diffuse X-ray emission from the massive star-forming region RCW 38 Free

In the original publication of “Suzaku and Chandra study of diffuse X-ray emission from the massive star-forming region RCW 38” [PASJ, 75, 187 (2023); doi: 10.1093/pasj/psac100], we correct a misleading statement in sub-subsection 6.4.2. Although a positive correlation between the plasma temperature kT and the interstellar absorption N_H is expected, the relationship does not necessarily have to be |$kT \propto N_{\rm H}^{5/3}$| as in the relationship between surface brightness S_X and N_H. Therefore, we replace figure 9 with a simple scatter diagram without prediction lines.

Absorption vs. temperature diagram from the Chandra observation of NGC 6334 (by Ezoe et al. 2006a, circles). Crosses, triangles, and diamonds show reported results of M 17 from Hyodo et al. (2008), Carina nebula from Hamaguchi et al. (2007); Ezoe et al. (2009, 2019), and RCW 38 from this work.
