Probable Detection of a Cooler Gas Component in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM
Julian Meunier, Brian R. McNamara, Aurora Simionescu +36
We present an analysis of the temperature structure of the Perseus cluster atmosphere using XRISM Resolve observations. The average temperature rises from 3.3 keV near the nucleus…
Disentangling AGN Feedback and Sloshing in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM: Insights from Simulations
Elena Bellomi, John A. ZuHone, Nhut Truong +10
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM has revealed complex, non-monotonic velocity dispersion profiles in the Perseus cluster, pointing to a complex interplay between at le…
XRISM constraints on unidentified X-ray emission lines, including the 3.5 keV line, in the stacked spectrum of ten galaxy clusters
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +150
We stack 3.75 Megaseconds of early XRISM Resolve observations of ten galaxy clusters to search for unidentified spectral lines in the 2.5-15 keV band (rest frame), including t…
Mapping the Perseus Galaxy Cluster with XRISM: Gas Kinematic Features and their Implications for Turbulence
Congyao Zhang, Irina Zhuravleva, Annie Heinrich +19
In this paper, we present extended gas kinematic maps of the Perseus cluster by combining five new XRISM/Resolve pointings observed in 2025 with four Performance Verification datas…
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 (…
A Yin-Yang Galaxy Cluster Merger in Abell 1914 Revealed by XRISM
Annie Heinrich, Congyao Zhang, Irina Zhuravleva +4
Hierarchical mergers of galaxy clusters play a key role in converting gravitational energy into thermal and kinetic energy in the local universe. Understanding this process require…
