High Spectral Resolution X-ray Observations of the Evolved Supermassive Stellar Binary System Carinae - Iron K Band Profile Revealed with XRISM
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +138
The supermassive binary system, Carinae, is experiencing enormous wind-driven mass loss at a rate unparalleled in the rest of the Galaxy. Their wind-wind collision (WWC) conti…
XL-Calibur measurements of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab
Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +46
We report measurements of the linear polarisation degree (PD) and angle (PA) for hard X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar and wind nebula. Measurements were made with the XL-Calibu…
XL-Calibur Polarimetry of Cyg X-1 Further Constrains the Origin of its Hard-state X-ray Emission
Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +36
The balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission XL-Calibur observed the Black Hole X-ray Binary (BHXRB) Cygnus X-1 (Cyg X-1) during its nearly six-day Long Duration Balloon (LDB)…
In-orbit Performance of the Soft X-ray Imaging Telescope Xtend aboard XRISM
Hiroyuki Uchida, Koji Mori, Hiroshi Tomida +62
We present a summary of the in-orbit performance of the soft X-ray imaging telescope Xtend onboard the XRISM mission, based on in-flight observation data, including first-light cel…
