Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…
The Geometry of Ultra-Fast Outflows Probed by Soft X-ray Variability in PDS 456
Riki Sato, Kouichi Hagino, Toshiya Iwata +20
Constraining the location and geometry of ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) is essential for identifying where they are launched and how they are accelerated. We investigate the soft X-ra…
XRISM Spectroscopy of Variable Accretion-driven Disk Winds in NGC 4151: When, Where, and How Fast Outflows are Launched
Xin Xiang, Jon Miller, Missagh Mehdipour +12
X-ray observations probe the inner accretion flow within active galactic nuclei, revealing the highest gas column densities and fastest winds. The most diverse winds yet revealed w…
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…
Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +143
The intracluster medium (ICM) is rich in chemical elements, produced by core-collapse (SNcc) and Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over the last 12 Gyr. Whereas cluster outskirts are…
Observation of A Solar Like Magnetic Reconnection Event in an AGN Corona with XRISM
Gal Vardi, Ehud Behar, Liyi Gu +14
The X-ray source in AGN is commonly referred to as the corona by analogy to stellar coronae. The similarities between the two suggest that the heating mechanism of AGN coronae is m…
The SKA-VLBI Perspective on Radio-Quiet AGN
Francesca Panessa, Tao An, James Petley +21
The accretion-ejection mechanism in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) remains a central open problem in astrophysics, tied to the role of AGN feedback in galaxy formation and evolution.…
Reverberation in the Narrow Fe K Line in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 with XRISM
Jon M. Miller, Aberahmen Zoghbi, Xin Xiang +11
Emission lines that "echo" variations in the ionizing flux produced close to black holes are powerful probes of the central engine. In the Seyfert-1.5 galaxy NGC 4151, high-resolut…
The powerful shocks in RS Oph: NuSTAR X-ray data and a complete review
