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…
Observation of A Solar Like Magnetic Reconnection Event in an AGN Corona with XRISM
Gal Vardi, Ehud Behar, Liyi Gu +14
The authors present the first direct observation of a magnetic reconnection flare in the X‑ray corona of the active galaxy NGC 3783, using XRISM and XMM‑Newton data that reveal a N…
Variability of the X-ray obscuring wind in Mrk 335 with XMM-Newton/RGS
Daniele Rogantini, Erin Kara, Luigi Gallo +10
The paper analyzes X‑ray spectra of the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 335 to characterize a multi‑phase, clumpy accretion‑disk wind that shows strong variability on day‑scale timescales and a…
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…
XRISM/Resolve observations of Hercules X-1: a pulsating, highly broadened Fe K emission line from the neutron star accretion column
Peter Kosec, Laura Brenneman, Erin Kara +11
The study of X-ray pulsar accretion columns helps us characterize accretion physics in this extreme regime of strong gravity and strong magnetic fields. Previous observations of th…
Discovery of Quasar Variability and Early Accretion Disk Signatures at Cosmic Dawn
Gene C. K. Leung, Anna-Christina Eilers, Christos Panagiotou +12
In the nearby universe, quasars are well known to exhibit variability in their brightness over time, offering a powerful tool to probe the physics of accretion onto the SMBH and di…
