Sloshing Motions in Abell 3571 Revealed by XRISM/Resolve Velocity Mapping
Itsuki Aihara, Congyao Zhang, Sora Nakajima +12
Minor mergers can induce sloshing motions in the intracluster medium, leaving characteristic signatures in the thermodynamic structure and gas kinematics of cluster cores. Abell 35…
Kinematics of Weak Cool-Core Cluster A3571 Observed with XRISM: Low Cooling Rate Balanced by Low Heating Rate
Hannah McCall, Irina Zhuravleva, Kyoko Matsushita +10
Most XRISM galaxy cluster observations to date have focused on AGN feedback or actively merging systems. The weak cool-core cluster A3571 was observed in four XRISM Cycle 1 pointin…
Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147
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…
Reduced Effective Viscosity from Anisotropic Transport and Plasma Instabilities in the Sloshing Cores of Galaxy Clusters
John A. ZuHone, Stephen Majeski, Annie Heinrich +3
The G magnetic field in the intracluster medium (ICM) introduces a pressure anisotropy with respect to the magnetic field's direction that manifests as an anisotropic visc…
Iron He-triplet signatures of shocks in the hottest galaxy clusters. Z/W line ratio, line broadening, and electron-ion temperature equilibration
Eugene Churazov, Yuri Ralchenko, Ildar I. Khabibullin +5
A merger of clusters naturally drives shocks with Mach number in the intra-cluster medium (ICM). This process creates several distinct signatures, including…
The major cluster merger in Abell 2034 as seen by XRISM: Strong turbulence and spectral anomalies?
Annie Heinrich, Irina Zhuravleva, Eugene Churazov +5
XRISM observations to date have shown that gas kinetic pressures in the intracluster medium (ICM) tend towards the low end of predictions from cosmological simulations. Here, we pr…
