XRISM High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Cygnus X-1 -- highly ionized Iron absorption structures

Shinya Yamada, Natalie Hell, Elisa Costantini +18

We present the first high-resolution X-ray spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1 using XRISM. The observation was carried out from April 7 to 10, 2024, covering the orbital phase range 0…

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…

Disentangling Multiple Gas Kinematic Drivers in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +143

Galaxy clusters, the Universe's largest halo structures, are filled with 10-100 million degree X-ray-emitting gas. Their evolution is shaped by energetic processes such as feedback…
