Mapping plasma properties of Cassiopeia A with XRISM/Resolve: a Bayesian analysis via UltraSPEX
Manan Agarwal, Jacco Vink, Liyi Gu +5
Mapping the physical conditions of the shocked plasma of young supernova remnants (SNR) is crucial for understanding their explosion mechanisms, ejecta structure, and large-scale a…
X-ray Analysis and Photon-transport Simulations of SMC X-1: A Warped-disc Origin of the Superorbital Modulation
Satoshi Takashima, Hirokazu Odaka, Ryota Tomaru +3
The luminous accreting pulsar SMC X-1 is an appropriate target to explore the accretion dynamics. SMC X-1 shows unique quasi-periodic flux variability of 40-65days known as sup…
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…
Chandra Large Project Observations of the Supernova Remnant N132D: Measuring the Expansion of the Forward Shock
Xi Long, Paul P. Plucinsky, Terrance J. Gaetz +15
We present results from the Chandra X-ray Observatory Large Project (878 ks in 28 observations) of the Large Magellanic Cloud supernova remnant N132D. We measure the expansion of t…
