A Brush with Turbulence: Probing the ICM Dynamics in the Merging Toothbrush Cluster using XRISM
Anjali Madangarli, Aurora Simionescu, Huub Röttgering +11
The Toothbrush Cluster (1RXS J0603.3+4214) is known for its northern radio relic, radio halo, and highly disturbed X-ray morphology. It shows features of both shock-driven and turb…
Exploring the dynamics of the Coma galaxy cluster by mapping its X-ray emission line profiles with XRISM
Kosei Sakai, Kazuhiro Nakazawa, Maxim Markevitch +17
The intracluster medium (ICM) in merging galaxy clusters exhibits turbulence and bulk flows. Unraveling these components is crucial not only for elucidating the geometry of the clu…
The Complete Catalog of Gamma-Ray Transients Observed by GRBAlpha & VZLUSAT-2 CubeSat Missions
Marianna Dafcikova, Jakub Ripa, Andras Pal +45
We present the largest sample of gamma-ray transients observed by any CubeSat mission so far. Observations were acquired by a 1U CubeSat GRBAlpha, the smallest astrophysical space…
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…
Long-term performance of SiPMs in space environment measured by GRBAlpha, GRBBeta, and VZLUSAT-2 CubeSats
Jakub Ripa, Filip Munz, Marianna Dafcikova +46
In this work, we report the successful application of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) in gamma-ray burst (GRB) detectors used in CubeSats operating in the low Earth orbit (LEO) ra…
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…
A Fast, Hot Wind from a Nuclear Starburst
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +137
Galaxies with intense star formation often host multiphase, galaxy-scale winds powered by supernovae and fast stellar winds. These are strong enough to disrupt the star-forming int…
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…
X-ray line diagnostics of the multi-phase gas in the Centaurus cluster core with XRISM/Resolve
Marie Kondo, Kotaro Fukushima, Kazunori Suda +18
We report the multi-temperature structure of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the Centaurus cluster core observed with XRISM/Resolve. Thanks to its high energy resolution, Resolve…
GRBAlpha, VZLUSAT-2 and GRBBeta -- GRB observations with CubeSats
Jakub Ripa, Marianna Dafcikova, Andras Pal +49
Results from GRBAlpha, VZLUSAT-2 and GRBBeta CubeSats and their on-board gamma-ray detectors for monitoring transients are summarised in this article. GRBAlpha was a 1U CubeSat lau…
