Dissecting the Nuclear Structure of NGC 5548 with XRISM. I. Physical Properties of the Highly Ionized Outflows
Missagh Mehdipour, Jon M. Miller, Jelle S. Kaastra +21
We present a detailed spectral analysis of an X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) observation of the prototypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. XRISM's Resolve microcalorim…
Dust grain chemistry in the diffuse ISM towards the black hole transient GX 339-4
I. Psaradaki, L. Corrales, E. Costantini +10
We present results on X-ray absorption and the dust grain chemistry in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), based on a new Cycle 25 Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spect…
Complex Ionization and Velocity Structures in GX 340+0 X-ray Binary Revealed by XRISM
Priyanka Chakraborty, Randall Smith, Lia Corrales +11
We present the first high-resolution XRISM spectrum of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 340+0, revealing unprecedented detail in its emission and absorption features. The…
The Structure of the Relativistic Fe Line in GX 340+0 as Viewed with XRISM/Resolve, NICER, and NuSTAR
R. M. Ludlam, R. Ballhausen, P. Chakraborty +13
We present a 152 ks XRISM/Resolve observation of the persistently accreting Z source GX 340+0. Simultaneous observations also occurred with NuSTAR and NICER for 22.47 ks and 2.7 ks…
Connecting dust and outflows in AGN: the intriguing case of NGC 6860
Ioanna Psaradaki, Missagh Mehdipour, Daniele Rogantini +4
Cosmic dust plays a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies, significantly influencing star formation and the interstellar medium. However, in active galactic nuclei (AGN), the r…
Constraining the Number Density of the Accretion Disk Wind in Hercules X-1 Using its Ionization Response to X-ray Pulsations
P. Kosec, D. Rogantini, E. Kara +6
X-ray binaries are known to launch powerful accretion disk winds that can have significant impact on the binary systems and their surroundings. To quantify the impact and determine…
Accretion disk wind of Hercules X-1 during the Short High state
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +5
Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on X-ray binary with a warped, precessing accretion disk, which manifests through a 35-day cycle of alternating High and Low flux states. This disk pr…
Vertical wind structure in an X-ray binary revealed by a precessing accretion disk
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11
The accretion of matter onto black holes and neutron stars often leads to the launching of outflows that can greatly affect the environments surrounding the compact object. In supe…
Oxygen and iron in interstellar dust: an X-ray investigation
I. Psaradaki, E. Costantini, D. Rogantini +9
Understanding the chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM) is fundamental for the comprehension of the Galactic and stellar evolution. X-rays provide an excellent way to study th…
The long stare at Hercules X-1 -- I. Emission lines from the outer disk, the magnetosphere boundary and the accretion curtain
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11
Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on accreting X-ray pulsar with a warped accretion disk, precessing with a period of about 35 days. The disk precession allows for unique and changing…
UV and X-ray observations of the neutron star LMXB EXO 0748-676 in its quiescent state
A. S. Parikh, N. Degenaar, J. V. Hernandez Santisteban +5
The accretion behaviour in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) at low luminosities, especially at <E34 erg/s, is not well known. This is an important regime to study to obtain a comple…
Interstellar oxygen along the line of sight of Cygnus X-2
I. Psaradaki, E. Costantini, M. Mehdipour +7
Interstellar dust permeates our Galaxy and plays an important role in many physical processes in the diffuse and dense regions of the interstellar medium. High-resolution X-ray spe…
Magnesium and silicon in interstellar dust: an X-ray overview
D. Rogantini, E. Costantini, S. T. Zeegers +5
The dense Galactic environment is a large reservoir of interstellar dust. Therefore, this region represents a perfect laboratory to study the properties of the cosmic dust grains.…
Modelling the disk atmosphere of the low mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676
Ioanna Psaradaki, Elisa Costantini, Missagh Mehdipour +1
Low mass X-ray binaries exhibit ionized emission from an extended disk atmosphere that surrounds the accretion disk. However, its nature and geometry is still unclear. In this work…
