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…
Accurate Determination of Chemical Abundances near a Supermassive Black Hole
The XRISM collaboration
The metal abundances in galactic nuclei carry key information on the history of star formation and mass transfer in central regions of galaxies. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a un…
A Fast, Hot Wind from a Nuclear Starburst
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +137
Galaxies with intense star formation often host multiphase, galaxy-scale winds powered by supernovae and fast stellar winds. These are strong enough to disrupt the star-forming int…
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) conti…
Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry
Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97
RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…
In-orbit Demonstration of X-ray Pulsar Navigation with NinjaSat
Naoyuki Ota, Takuya Takahashi, Toru Tamagawa +26
This study demonstrated the pulsar navigation capability of the CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat, which is equipped with two Gas Multiplier Counters (GMCs). The GMCs are sensitiv…
