XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945
Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31
Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…
Decoupled Kinematics and Excitation in the Compton-thick AGN NGC 6552: Spatially Resolved KOOLS-IFU Observations
Kyuseok Oh, Yoshihiro Ueda, Kanta Fujiwara +7
Hard X-ray selected Compton-thick AGNs provide a relatively obscuration-resistant census of accretion, but optical line diagnostics can be strongly shaped by extinction and geometr…
Complex Nuclear Structure in Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 4388 Revealed by XRISM Observation
Kanta Fujiwara, Yoshihiro Ueda, Shoji Ogawa +13
We report results from the simultaneous XRISM (183 ks) and NuSTAR (62 ks) observations of the Seyfert-2 galaxy NGC 4388. This AGN has the brightest Fe K line among Compton-thin…
Accurate Determination of Chemical Abundances near a Supermassive Black Hole
The XRISM collaboration
The metal abundances in galactic nuclei carry key information on the history of star formation and mass transfer in central regions of galaxies. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a un…
Spectral and photometric variability of SS 433 observed with XRISM and simultaneous optical and near-infrared telescopes
Yusuke Sakai, Shinya Yamada, Yuta Okada +36
We present results from coordinated multiwavelength observations of the SS 433, obtained with XRISM, optical telescopes, and near-infrared camera during 2024 April and 2025 March.…
IMPACTX: An X-ray Spectral Model for Polar Dust and Clumpy Torus
Kanta Fujiwara, Yoshihiro Ueda, Shoji Ogawa +2
We construct a generic X-ray spectral model for the reflection component from the clumpy torus and dusty gas in the polar region (polar dusty gas) in an active galactic nucleus (AG…
