Physics of 1 keV line in X-ray binaries

Priyanka Chakraborty, Gary Ferland, Andrew Fabian +5

X-ray binaries (XRBs) often exhibit spectral residuals in the 0.5 to 2 keV range, known as the ``1 keV residual/1 keV feature", with variable centroid and intensity across differen…

Unveiling the Cosmic Chemistry II: "Direct" -based metallicity of galaxies at 3 10 with JWST/NIRSpec

Priyanka Chakraborty, Arnab Sarkar, Randall Smith +10

We report the detection of the [O III] auroral line in 42 galaxies within the redshift range of . These galaxies were selected from publicly available JWST data release…

Departures from Standard Disk Predictions in Intensive Ground-Based Monitoring of Three AGN

Diego Gonzalez-Buitrago, Aaron J. Barth, Rick Edelson +42

We present ground-based, multi-band light curves of the AGN Mrk~509, NGC\,4151, and NGC\,4593 obtained contemporaneously with \sw\, monitoring. We measure cross-correlation lags re…

Cloudy and the High-Resolution Microcalorimeter Revolution: Optical, UV, and X-ray Spectra of One-electron Systems

Chamani M. Gunasekera, Peter A. M. van Hoof, Marios Chatzikos +1

With the launch of the XRISM microcalorimeter mission, space-based X-ray observations will achieve a record spectral resolving power of 1200. With this resolving…

JADES -- The small blue bump in GN-z11: insights into the nuclear region of a galaxy at z=10.6

Xihan Ji, Roberto Maiolino, Gary Ferland +14

We report the detection of continuum excess in the rest-frame UV between 3000 Ã and 3550 Ã in the JWST/NIRSpec spectrum of GN-z11, a luminous galaxy . The shape of the co…
