Probable Detection of a Cooler Gas Component in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM

Julian Meunier, Brian R. McNamara, Aurora Simionescu +36

We present an analysis of the temperature structure of the Perseus cluster atmosphere using XRISM Resolve observations. The average temperature rises from 3.3 keV near the nucleus…

Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry

Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97

RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…

In-orbit Demonstration of X-ray Pulsar Navigation with NinjaSat

Naoyuki Ota, Takuya Takahashi, Toru Tamagawa +26

This study demonstrated the pulsar navigation capability of the CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat, which is equipped with two Gas Multiplier Counters (GMCs). The GMCs are sensitiv…

Polarization of reflected X-ray emission from the Sgr A molecular complex: multiple flares, multiple sources?

Ildar Khabibullin, Eugene Churazov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +100

The extended X-ray emission observed in the direction of several molecular clouds in the central molecular zone of our Galaxy exhibits spectral and temporal properties consistent w…

Super-Eddington Accretion Geometry: a Remarkable Stability of the Hidden Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Cygnus X-3

Romana Mikušincová, Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri +112

We report on the average and orbital phase-resolved polarization of Cyg X-3 in the hard state during the 2023 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observational campaign. We f…

X-ray Polarization Detection of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in G21.5-0.9 with IXPE

Niccolò Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei, Niccolò Bucciantini +98

We present the X-ray polarization observation of G21.5-0.9, a young Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), conducted with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in October 2023,…
