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…
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…
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…
XRISM view of a stellar flare: High-resolution Fe K spectra of HR 1099, an RS CVn-type star
Miki Kurihara, Masahiro Tsujimoto, Michael Loewenstein +21
A high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observation was made of the RS CVn-type binary star HR 1099 using the Resolve instrument onboard XRISM for its calibration purposes. During th…
Disentangling Multiple Gas Kinematic Drivers in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +143
Galaxy clusters, the Universe's largest halo structures, are filled with 10-100 million degree X-ray-emitting gas. Their evolution is shaped by energetic processes such as feedback…
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 (…
