Asymmetric distribution of Fe-peak elements in Cassiopeia A revealed by XRISM
Toshiki Sato, Shin-ichiro Fujimoto, Koji Mori +20
The elemental abundances of the Fe-peak elements (such as Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni) and Ti are important for understanding the environment of explosive nuclear burning for the core-collap…
XRISM Observations of Cassiopeia A: Overview, Atomic Data, and Spectral Models
Paul Plucinsky, Manan Agarwal, Liyi Gu +15
Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is the youngest known core-collapse supernova remnant (SNR) in the Galaxy and is perhaps the best-studied SNR in X-rays. Cas A has a line-rich spectrum dominat…
Mapping Cassiopeia A's silicon/sulfur Doppler velocities with XRISM-Resolve
Jacco Vink, Manan Agarwal, Aya Bamba +22
Young supernova remnants (SNRs) provide crucial insights into explosive nucleosynthesis products and their velocity distribution soon after the explosion. However, these velocities…
Measuring the asymmetric expansion of the Fe ejecta of Cassiopeia A with XRISM/Resolve
Aya Bamba, Manan Agarwal, Jacco Vink +24
The expansion structure of supernova remnants (SNRs) is important for understanding not only how heavy elements are distributed into space, but also how supernovae explode. The eje…
Dynamics of the intermediate-mass-element ejecta in the Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A studied with XRISM
Shunsuke Suzuki, Haruto Sonoda, Yusuke Sakai +5
Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide crucial information of yet poorly understood mechanism of supernova explosion. Here we present XRISM high-resolution spectroscopy of the intermedi…
