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…

Comparing XRISM cluster velocity dispersions with predictions from cosmological simulations: are feedback models too ejective?

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147

The dynamics of the intra-cluster medium (ICM), the hot plasma that fills galaxy clusters, are shaped by gravity-driven cluster mergers and feedback from supermassive black holes (…
