3D Radiative Transfer of Lyman-series Lines with SKIRT

N. Sameshima, A. Lauwers, B. Vander Meulen +4

Context. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy and polarimetry provided by XRISM and IXPE offer new diagnostics of the geometry and kinematics of photo-ionised plasmas around compact…

XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945

Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31

Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…

Energy-Resolved Limits on Orbital X-ray Polarization Modulation in Cygnus X-1

Sohee Chun, Bert Vander Meulen, Kun Hu +1

Reflection off the companion star and its focused stellar wind is predicted to modulate the X-ray polarization of black hole X-ray binaries at half the orbital period ($P_{\rm orb}…

Predictions for the X-ray polarisation modulation in Cygnus X-1 from reflection off the stellar companion and its wind

Bert Vander Meulen, Kun Hu, Victoria Grinberg +1

Context. Cyg X-1 is one of the brightest X-ray binaries and has been observed multiple times with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Recent studies report tentative evi…

High Spectral Resolution X-ray Observations of the Evolved Supermassive Stellar Binary System Carinae - Iron K Band Profile Revealed with XRISM

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +138

The supermassive binary system, Carinae, is experiencing enormous wind-driven mass loss at a rate unparalleled in the rest of the Galaxy. Their wind-wind collision (WWC) contin…

A XRISM view of the iron line complex in NGC 1068: Rethinking the prototypical Compton-thick AGN

S. Bianchi, B. Vander Meulen, E. Bertola +32

We analyze a XRISM/Resolve observation of NGC1068, focusing on the Fe K and Fe K fluorescent lines and on the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission complexes. Line centroid energies, i…
