High-spectral-resolution Observations of the [S II] Emission-line Doublet in the Filamentary Nebula Surrounding NGC 1275
Benjamin Vigneron, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Carter Lee Rhea +10
We analyze new high-spectral resolution SITELLE observations (R = = 7000) of the filamentary nebula surrounding NGC 1275, central galaxy of the Perseus cluster. We present h…
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…
The splash beneath the largest radio bubble in a cluster core
H. R. Russell, P. E. J. Nulsen, A. C. Fabian +3
We present a 100 ks XRISM Resolve observation of the Ophiuchus cluster that measures turbulence and bulk motion in the wake of the largest radio bubble on the sky. We detect a sign…
A Minimalist Merger Interpretation of XRISM's Gas Velocity Measurements in the Coma Cluster
Congyao Zhang, Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin +3
The recent microcalorimetric X-ray observations of the Coma cluster by XRISM have sparked active discussion regarding the physical origin of its gas velocity features. Here, we dem…
XRISM constraints on unidentified X-ray emission lines, including the 3.5 keV line, in the stacked spectrum of ten galaxy clusters
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +150
We stack 3.75 Megaseconds of early XRISM Resolve observations of ten galaxy clusters to search for unidentified spectral lines in the 2.5-15 keV band (rest frame), including t…
Mapping the Perseus Galaxy Cluster with XRISM: Gas Kinematic Features and their Implications for Turbulence
Congyao Zhang, Irina Zhuravleva, Annie Heinrich +19
In this paper, we present extended gas kinematic maps of the Perseus cluster by combining five new XRISM/Resolve pointings observed in 2025 with four Performance Verification datas…
