Galactic absorption measured by X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies at the low Galactic latitude
Yumiko Anraku, Shigeo Yamauchi, Anje Yoshimoto +3
The amount of the interstellar gas in the Galaxy has been conventionally estimated through observations at various wavelengths. The estimation of the total hydrogen column density…
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…
Narrow iron- and nickel-K absorption lines from the eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary AX~J1745.62901
Kojiro Tanaka, Yoshitomo Maeda, Ryota Tomaru +23
We report the presence of a highly ionized absorber in the transient, eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary AX J1745.6-2901, observed from Feb. 26 to 29, 2024 with XRISM's Resolve and Xt…
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) contin…
Chlorine and Potassium Enrichment in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant
XRISM collaboration
The elements in the universe are synthesized primarily in stars and supernovae, where nuclear fusion favors the production of even-Z elements. In contrast, odd-Z elements are less…
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…
Stratified wind from a super-Eddington X-ray binary is slower than expected
XRISM collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +132
Accretion discs in strong gravity ubiquitously produce winds, seen as blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray band of both stellar mass X-ray binaries (black holes and neutron st…
XRISM/Resolve View of Abell 2319: Turbulence, Sloshing, and ICM Dynamics
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +132
We present results from XRISM/Resolve observations of the core of the galaxy cluster Abell 2319, focusing on its kinematic properties. The intracluster medium (ICM) exhibits temper…
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…
Structured ionized winds shooting out from a quasar at relativistic speeds
XRISM collaboration
Evidence indicates that supermassive black holes exist at the centers of most galaxies. Their mass correlates with the galactic bulge mass, suggesting a co-evolution with their hos…
A new candidate of a cluster of galaxies behind the Galactic plane, AX J145732-5901
Shigeo Yamauchi, Masaru Ueno
AX J145732-5901 is an unidentified X-ray source discovered in the ASCA Galactic plane survey. Its extended nature and heavily absorbed X-ray spectrum suggest that AX J145732-5901 i…
XRISM forecast for the Coma cluster: stormy, with a steep power spectrum
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +142
The XRISM Resolve microcalorimeter array measured the velocities of hot intracluster gas at two positions in the Coma galaxy cluster: 3'x3' squares at the center and at 6' (170 kpc…
The bulk motion of gas in the core of the Centaurus galaxy cluster
XRISM collaboration
Galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe, contain vast amounts of dark matter, galaxies, and hot ionised gas known as the intracluster medium (…
Overionized plasma in the supernova remnant Sagittarius A East anchored by XRISM observations
XRISM Collaboration
Sagittarius A East is a supernova remnant with a unique surrounding environment, as it is located in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center, S…
The XRISM/Resolve view of the Fe K region of Cyg X-3
XRISM Collaboration
The X-ray binary system Cygnus X-3 (4U 2030+40, V1521 Cyg) is luminous but enigmatic owing to the high intervening absorption. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy uniquely probes th…
Plasma diagnostics of supernova remnant 3C 400.2 by Suzaku observations
Masataka Onuma, Kumiko K. Nobukawa, Masayoshi Nobukawa +2
We report a result of plasma diagnostics of the supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 400.2, which has been reported to have a recombining plasma (RP) by previous studies. For careful backgro…
Suzaku observation of an iron K-shell line in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946
Shigeo Yamauchi, Azusa Inaba, Yumiko Anraku
An emission line at ~6.7 keV is attributable to a He-like iron K-shell transition, which indicates existence of a thin thermal plasma with a temperature of several keV. Using Suzak…
Detection of the neutral iron line from the supernova remnant W49B with Suzaku
Nari Suzuki, Shigeo Yamauchi, Kumiko K. Nobukawa +2
Recent studies of supernova remnants (SNRs) have revealed that some SNRs exhibit a neutral iron line emission at 6.4 keV. This line has been proposed to originate from the interact…
