Resolving the Fe K Doublet of the Galactic Center Molecular Cloud G0.11-0.11 with XRISM
Stephen DiKerby, Shuo Zhang, Kumiko Nobukawa +3
Fe K line emission from Galactic center molecular clouds can be produced either via fluorescence after illumination by an X-ray source or by cosmic ray ionization. Unparalleled…
