A constant pressure model for the warm absorber in Mrk 509
Krzysztof Hryniewicz, Agata Różańska, Tek Prasad Adhikari +3
We present the analysis of 900 ks high-resolution RGS XMM-Newton observations of the nearby Seyfert galaxy Mrk 509 with the use of a self-consistent warm absorber (WA) model. We pe…
Distinct Fe-K Line Complexes in MAXI J1744-294 Revealed by XRISM High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Kaushik Chatterjee, Santanu Mondal, Biswaraj Palit +7
The newly discovered Galactic transient MAXI J1744-294 went into its first X-ray outburst in 2025. We study the spectral properties of this source in the 2-10 keV energy band durin…
