Diagnosing the Fe line complex of the intracluster medium by XRISM high-resolution spectroscopy
K. Fukushima, L. Hirata, N. Y. Yamasaki +17
We aim to test the validity of the CIE framework in the ICM by performing line diagnostics based mainly on resolved Fe-K emission lines. Methods. We analyse Resolve full-array spec…
Supersonic Motion in the Driving Region of M82
Skylar Grayson, Evan Scannapieco, Philipp Grete +5
The prototypical starburst galaxy M82 is host to an expansive, multiphase outflow whose driving mechanism is not fully understood. Longstanding models suggest that energy and mass…
Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147
The intracluster medium (ICM) is rich in chemical elements, produced by core-collapse (SNcc) and Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over the last 12 Gyr. Whereas cluster outskirts are…
XRISM Observations of Abell 1795: Evidence for Low Turbulence and Resonant Scattering
Arnab Sarkar, Eric D. Miller, Brian McNamara +10
We present high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observations of the cool-core galaxy cluster Abell~1795 obtained with XRISM/Resolve. The cluster was observed with two deep pointings…
Suppression of Radiative Cooling in Galaxy Cluster Cores by the Combination of AGN Heating and Sloshing
Yutaka Fujita, Tomoaki Matsumoto, Keiichi Wada
Recent XRISM observations suggest that gas mixing induced by sloshing contributes to core heating. We systematically investigate the suppression of cooling flows in galaxy cluster…
The First Insights into an Ultraluminous X-ray Pulsar with XRISM: Phase-Resolved High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Fe K-shell Band of M82 X-2
Shogo B. Kobayashi, Peter Kosec, Kazuki Ampuku +18
During the performance verification phase, XRISM observed the M82 galaxy for a net exposure of 207.7 ks, with the ultraluminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) X-2 included in the field of vie…
