Three-Dimensional Expansion of Iron Ejecta in Cassiopeia A with Chandra and XRISM
Aya Bamba, Tomoki Kadoya, Kouichi Hagino +4
Measurement of the expansion structure of ejecta in supernova remnants (SNRs) provides important information about their explosion mechanism. We combine Chandra proper-motion measu…
Expansion rate of the young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant G292.0+1.8
Maria Aslanidou, Manan Agarwal, Jacco Vink
Core-collapse supernova remnants (CCSNRs) are ideal targets for studying ejecta--interstellar-medium interactions, shock dynamics, and explosion characteristics. G292.0+1.8 is a cl…
Mapping plasma properties of Cassiopeia A with XRISM/Resolve: a Bayesian analysis via UltraSPEX
Manan Agarwal, Jacco Vink, Liyi Gu +5
Mapping the physical conditions of the shocked plasma of young supernova remnants (SNR) is crucial for understanding their explosion mechanisms, ejecta structure, and large-scale a…
Asymmetric distribution of Fe-peak elements in Cassiopeia A revealed by XRISM
Toshiki Sato, Shin-ichiro Fujimoto, Koji Mori +20
The elemental abundances of the Fe-peak elements (such as Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni) and Ti are important for understanding the environment of explosive nuclear burning for the core-collap…
Chlorine and Potassium Enrichment in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant
XRISM collaboration
The elements in the universe are synthesized primarily in stars and supernovae, where nuclear fusion favors the production of even-Z elements. In contrast, odd-Z elements are less…
XRISM Observations of Cassiopeia A: Overview, Atomic Data, and Spectral Models
Paul Plucinsky, Manan Agarwal, Liyi Gu +15
Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is the youngest known core-collapse supernova remnant (SNR) in the Galaxy and is perhaps the best-studied SNR in X-rays. Cas A has a line-rich spectrum dominat…
