Science of High Resolution X-ray Imaging
H. L. Marshall, K. Weaver, M. Schattenburg +34
This report summarizes potential studies of the Hi-ReX Science Analysis Group for an Ultra-High Angular Resolution X-ray Observatory. Many potential science cases are presented, sp…
Dust grain chemistry in the diffuse ISM towards the black hole transient GX 339-4
I. Psaradaki, L. Corrales, E. Costantini +10
We present results on X-ray absorption and the dust grain chemistry in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), based on a new Cycle 25 Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spect…
XRISM High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Cygnus X-1 -- Orbital and Short-Term Variability of Iron Absorption
Kaito Ninoyu, Shinya Yamada, Natalie Hell +19
We present the first high-resolution spectroscopy of the black hole high-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 with XRISM, including orbital-phase-resolved analyses and tentative evidence o…
XRISM High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Cygnus X-1 -- highly ionized Iron absorption structures
Shinya Yamada, Natalie Hell, Elisa Costantini +18
We present the first high-resolution X-ray spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1 using XRISM. The observation was carried out from April 7 to 10, 2024, covering the orbital phase range 0…
XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- I. Disentangling the sources in the field of view
Maxime Parra, Kai Matsunaga, Shifra Mandel +16
The Galactic center is a complex and crowded region hosting the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, numerous accreting compact objects, and diffuse X-ray emission. This paper presents…
XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- II. Narrow emission lines in the Black Hole candidate MAXI J1744-294/Swift J174540.2-290037
Maxime Parra, Shifra Mandel, Kai Matsunaga +13
Narrow, highly ionized X-ray emission lines in black hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BH-LMXBs) are rare and have been observed in only a few sources, during unusual, heavily obscured…
