X-ray Flaring and Variability in NGC 1275, the Heart of the Perseus Cluster
Sarah Ketchum, Jon M. Miller, S. W. Allen +6
NGC 1275 is the central galaxy in the Perseus Cluster. The active galactic nucleus (AGN) within NGC 1275 is notable for its strong and variable radio activity, tied to the producti…
XRISM Spectroscopy of Variable Accretion-driven Disk Winds in NGC 4151: When, Where, and How Fast Outflows are Launched
Xin Xiang, Jon Miller, Missagh Mehdipour +12
X-ray observations probe the inner accretion flow within active galactic nuclei, revealing the highest gas column densities and fastest winds. The most diverse winds yet revealed w…
Dissecting the Nuclear Structure of NGC 5548 with XRISM. I. Physical Properties of the Highly Ionized Outflows
Missagh Mehdipour, Jon M. Miller, Jelle S. Kaastra +21
We present a detailed spectral analysis of an X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) observation of the prototypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. XRISM's Resolve microcalorim…
Reverberation in the Narrow Fe K Line in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 with XRISM
Jon M. Miller, Aberahmen Zoghbi, Xin Xiang +11
Emission lines that "echo" variations in the ionizing flux produced close to black holes are powerful probes of the central engine. In the Seyfert-1.5 galaxy NGC 4151, high-resolut…
The 0.9 Megasecond XRISM/Resolve Spectrum of the Seyfert-1 AGN NGC 4151
Jon M. Miller, Xin Xiang, Missagh Mehdipour +13
NGC 4151 is the brightest Seyfert-1 active galaxy in the pass band of the Resolve calorimeter spectrometer aboard XRISM. It has been observed on 14 occasions, resulting in a total…
XRISM Spectroscopy of the Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105
Jon M. Miller, Liyi Gu, John Raymond +11
GRS 1915105 was the stellar-mass black hole that best reproduced key phenomena that are also observed in Type-1 active galactic nuclei. In recent years, however, it has evolved…
