The supermassive binary system, Carinae, is experiencing enormous wind-driven mass loss at a rate unparalleled in the rest of the Galaxy. Their wind-wind collision (WWC) contin…
Asymmetric distribution of Fe-peak elements in Cassiopeia A revealed by XRISM
Toshiki Sato, Shin-ichiro Fujimoto, Koji Mori +20
The elemental abundances of the Fe-peak elements (such as Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni) and Ti are important for understanding the environment of explosive nuclear burning for the core-collap…
Pile-up simulator for XRISM/Xtend onboard the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM)
Tomokage Yoneyama, Tsubasa Tamba, Hirokazu Odaka +6
In X-ray astronomy, most observatories utilize multi-pixel photon-counting devices. When a photon counting device observes a bright source, we face an unavoidable problem called pi…
XRISM observations of solar flare X-ray emission reflected in the Earth's atmosphere
Hiromasa Suzuki, Jun Kurashima, Koji Mori +13
The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), launched into low-Earth orbit in 2023, observes the reflection of solar flare X-rays in the Earth's atmosphere as a by-product o…
Mapping Cassiopeia A's silicon/sulfur Doppler velocities with XRISM-Resolve
Jacco Vink, Manan Agarwal, Aya Bamba +22
Young supernova remnants (SNRs) provide crucial insights into explosive nucleosynthesis products and their velocity distribution soon after the explosion. However, these velocities…
Measuring the asymmetric expansion of the Fe ejecta of Cassiopeia A with XRISM/Resolve
Aya Bamba, Manan Agarwal, Jacco Vink +24
The expansion structure of supernova remnants (SNRs) is important for understanding not only how heavy elements are distributed into space, but also how supernovae explode. The eje…
