Accurate Determination of Chemical Abundances near a Supermassive Black Hole
The XRISM collaboration
The metal abundances in galactic nuclei carry key information on the history of star formation and mass transfer in central regions of galaxies. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a un…
Resonant scattering at the center of the galaxy cluster PKS 0745-191 with XRISM
Keita Tanaka, Megan Eckart, Kotaro Fukushima +11
We report evidence for the resonant scattering effect at the center of the galaxy cluster PKS 0745-191 with XRISM. We analyzed XRISM/Resolve commissioning-phase observations of the…
High Spectral Resolution X-ray Observations of the Evolved Supermassive Stellar Binary System Carinae - Iron K Band Profile Revealed with XRISM
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +138
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…
Disentangling AGN Feedback and Sloshing in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM: Insights from Simulations
Elena Bellomi, John A. ZuHone, Nhut Truong +10
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM has revealed complex, non-monotonic velocity dispersion profiles in the Perseus cluster, pointing to a complex interplay between at le…
Chlorine and Potassium Enrichment in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant
XRISM collaboration
The elements in the universe are synthesized primarily in stars and supernovae, where nuclear fusion favors the production of even-Z elements. In contrast, odd-Z elements are less…
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…
Stratified wind from a super-Eddington X-ray binary is slower than expected
XRISM collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +132
Accretion discs in strong gravity ubiquitously produce winds, seen as blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray band of both stellar mass X-ray binaries (black holes and neutron st…
XRISM/Resolve View of Abell 2319: Turbulence, Sloshing, and ICM Dynamics
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +132
We present results from XRISM/Resolve observations of the core of the galaxy cluster Abell 2319, focusing on its kinematic properties. The intracluster medium (ICM) exhibits temper…
Disentangling Multiple Gas Kinematic Drivers in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +143
Galaxy clusters, the Universe's largest halo structures, are filled with 10-100 million degree X-ray-emitting gas. Their evolution is shaped by energetic processes such as feedback…
XRISM Reveals Complex Multi-Temperature Structures in the Abell 2029 Galaxy Cluster
Arnab Sarkar, Eric Miller, Naomi Ota +9
We present 500 ks XRISM observations covering the central and two northern regions of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster. Resolve enables us to distinguish multiple emission lines…
Structured ionized winds shooting out from a quasar at relativistic speeds
XRISM collaboration
Evidence indicates that supermassive black holes exist at the centers of most galaxies. Their mass correlates with the galactic bulge mass, suggesting a co-evolution with their hos…
XRISM forecast for the Coma cluster: stormy, with a steep power spectrum
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +142
The XRISM Resolve microcalorimeter array measured the velocities of hot intracluster gas at two positions in the Coma galaxy cluster: 3'x3' squares at the center and at 6' (170 kpc…
The bulk motion of gas in the core of the Centaurus galaxy cluster
XRISM collaboration
Galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe, contain vast amounts of dark matter, galaxies, and hot ionised gas known as the intracluster medium (…
Overionized plasma in the supernova remnant Sagittarius A East anchored by XRISM observations
XRISM Collaboration
Sagittarius A East is a supernova remnant with a unique surrounding environment, as it is located in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center, S…
The XRISM/Resolve view of the Fe K region of Cyg X-3
XRISM Collaboration
The X-ray binary system Cygnus X-3 (4U 2030+40, V1521 Cyg) is luminous but enigmatic owing to the high intervening absorption. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy uniquely probes th…
Impact of Accretion Flow Dynamics on Gas-dynamical Black Hole Mass Estimates
Britton Jeter, Avery E. Broderick, B. R. McNamara
At low redshift, the majority of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass estimates are obtained from modeling stellar kinematics or ionized gas dynamics in the vicinity of the galaxy n…
