Kinematically Resolving the Fe K Complex in Her X-1: The Accretion Disk and Ionized Wind Across X-ray Eclipses
Koh Sakamoto, Teruaki Enoto, Peter Kosec +8
We present XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of Her X-1 across three X-ray eclipses observed in September 2024, resolving its iron K complex through the ingress, mid-eclipse, and egress p…
Distinct Velocity Components in the Absorption Lines of the Neutron Star X-ray Binary AX J1745.6-2901
Kai Matsunaga, Maxime Parra, Yutaro Nagai +10
Accretion disks in X-ray binaries regulate mass transfer onto compact objects and drive radiative and kinetic feedback to their surroundings. Here we report X-ray spectroscopy of t…
Vacuum birefringence and the polarized X-ray emission from a radio magnetar
Rachael E. Stewart, Hoa Dinh Thi, George Younes +13
The paper presents phase- and energy-resolved X‑ray polarization measurements of the radio magnetar 1E 1547.0‑5408, finding high polarization degrees that support vacuum birefringe…
VLBI Astrometry of Magnetars
Takuya Akahori, Sujin Eie, Kei Amada +8
The origin of the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe, i.e., the origin of magnetars, is a longstanding question. An enhanced dynamo effect in an irregular supernova explosio…
Fe Kα equivalent-width mapping with 3D radiative transfer calculation: A general model and application to the RS Canum Venaticorum-type stars with XRISM/Resolve
Shun Inoue, Masahiro Tsujimoto, Takayuki Hayashi +4
The Fe K fluorescence line at 6.4 keV has long been used to probe the relative geometry between photoionizing X-ray sources and surrounding cold material in a wide range of as…
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…
