Atomic data and spectral modeling constraints from high-resolution X-ray observations of the Perseus cluster with Hitomi

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +192

The Hitomi SXS spectrum of the Perseus cluster, with 5 eV resolution in the 2-9 keV band, offers an unprecedented benchmark of the atomic modeling and database for hot collis…

Hitomi Observations of the LMC SNR N132D: Highly Redshifted X-ray Emission from Iron Ejecta

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

We present Hitomi observations of N132D, a young, X-ray bright, O-rich core-collapse supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Despite a very short observation of only…

Exploring The Effects Of Disk Thickness On The Black Hole Reflection Spectrum

Corbin Taylor, Christopher S. Reynolds

The relativistically-broadened reflection spectrum, observed in both AGN and X-ray binaries, has proven to be a powerful probe of the properties of black holes and the environments…

Glimpse of the highly obscured HMXB IGR J16318-4848 with Hitomi

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

We report a Hitomi observation of IGR J16318-4848, a high-mass X-ray binary system with an extremely strong absorption of N_H~10^{24} cm^{-2}. Previous X-ray studies revealed that…

Hitomi Observation of Radio Galaxy NGC 1275: The First X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy of Fe-Kα Line Emission from an Active Galactic Nucleus

Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191

The origin of the narrow Fe-Kα fluorescence line at 6.4 keV from active galactic nuclei has long been under debate; some of the possible sites are the outer accretion disk, the bro…

Ultrafast Outflow in Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-14li

E. Kara, L. Dai, C. S. Reynolds +1

At only 90 Mpc, ASASSN-14li is one of the nearest tidal disruption event (TDE) ever discovered, and because of this, it has been observed by several observatories at many wavelengt…
