We report on new Chandra ACIS-I observations of the X-ray knots located in the western and eastern lobes of W50 associated with the parsec-scale jets of the Galactic microquasar SS…
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…
The electron temperature distribution and the high ionization just behind the shock in the Cygnus Loop
Masahiro Ichihashi, Aya Bamba, Dai Tateishi +6
The physical processes behind astrophysical collisionless shocks, such as thermal relaxation and ionization after shock passage, remain poorly understood. To investigate these proc…
