A XRISM/Resolve view of the dynamics in the hot gaseous atmosphere of M87
XRISM Collaboration, M. Audard, H. Awaki +138
The XRISM/Resolve microcalorimeter directly measured the gas velocities in the core of the Virgo Cluster, the closest example of AGN feedback in a cluster. This proximity allows us…
