Gas Motions in Hydra-A: XRISM Constraints on ICM Kinematics Across Jet-Inflated Cavities
Anwesh Majumder, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +8
We report on two deep XRISM observations of the central and northern regions of Hydra-A's X-ray atmosphere covering the bubbles inflated by jets from the central galaxy's active ga…
Star Formation Histories and Stellar Dynamics in the Central Galaxies of RX J0820.9+0752, A1835, and PKS 0745-191
Marie-Joëlle Gingras, B. R. McNamara, Alison L. Coil +5
We present Keck Cosmic Web Imager observations of stellar populations in three galaxies lying at the centers of cooling flow clusters. All three host rich molecular gas reservoirs…
JWST reveals how black holes are fed: kiloparsec-scale multiphase filaments feed sub-kiloparsec circumnuclear disks
Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo +35
The Centaurus cluster is one of the most important archetypes of radio-mode AGN feedback, with its central galaxy, NGC 4696, launching powerful jets that inflate X-ray cavities and…
XRISM detection of the 6.4 keV Fe K line in the radio galaxy Cygnus A
Anwesh Majumder, T. Heckman, L. Gu +7
We detail the spectral analysis of a 170 ks XRISM Resolve observation of the core of Cygnus A. The high spectral resolution of Resolve have enabled us to probe the inner accretion…
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM/Resolve reveals super-Solar abundance ratios in Virgo/M87
J. Martin, A. Simionescu, F. Mernier +26
The chemical composition of the intracluster medium (ICM) provides key insights into the enrichment history of galaxy clusters. However, high-resolution abundance measurements with…
Probable Detection of a Cooler Gas Component in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM
Julian Meunier, Brian R. McNamara, Aurora Simionescu +36
We present an analysis of the temperature structure of the Perseus cluster atmosphere using XRISM Resolve observations. The average temperature rises from 3.3 keV near the nucleus…
