Remnant-wide mapping of heterogeneous presupernova burning histories in the O-rich ejecta of Cassiopeia A
Yui Kuboike, Toshiki Sato, Kai Matsunaga
Late-stage shell interactions, including shell mergers, can mix material across adjacent burning shells and imprint chemically inhomogeneous structures in the hydrostatic O-rich la…
Testing a Pre-Supernova Contribution to Ti in Cassiopeia A
Toshiki Sato, Joshua Issa, Falk Herwig +4
The radioactive isotope Ti in Cassiopeia A has been used as a tracer of the innermost ejecta and explosion asymmetries in core-collapse supernova explosions. However, recent…
Distinct Velocity Components in the Absorption Lines of the Neutron Star X-ray Binary AX J1745.6-2901
Kai Matsunaga, Maxime Parra, Yutaro Nagai +10
Accretion disks in X-ray binaries regulate mass transfer onto compact objects and drive radiative and kinetic feedback to their surroundings. Here we report X-ray spectroscopy of t…
Chandra X-Ray Imaging and Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of SN 1987A: Energy-Dependent Morphology of the Equatorial Ring
Yusuke Sakai, Shinya Yamada, Koji Mori +8
We present a systematic imaging and spatially resolved spectral study of SN 1987A using Chandra observations obtained between 1999 and 2025. By combining multiepoch ACIS and HETG d…
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…
XRISM spectroscopy of a crowded Galactic center region -- III. S, Ar and Ca ISM Absorption Features in the spectrum of MAXI J1744-294
Efrain Gatuzz, Maxime Parra, Muhammet F. Hasoglu +7
We present a comprehensive study of X-ray absorption by sulfur (S), argon (Ar), and calcium (Ca) in the interstellar medium (ISM) along the line of sight to the low-mass X-ray bina…
The Supernova Remnant G284.31.8 and Its Relation to the Gamma-ray Binary 1FGL J1018.65856
Natsuki Terano, Takaaki Tanaka, Hiromasa Suzuki +6
G284.31.8 is a supernova remnant with a radio shell and thermal X-ray emission. Located near its center is the gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.65856, although the physical associ…
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…
