Progenitor and Explosion Mechanism of 3C 397 Indicated from XRISM High-resolution Spectroscopy of Fe-group Elements
Hiroshi Nakajima, Yuken Ohshiro, Shing-Chi Leung +8
We present spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova remnant 3C 397, one of the most promising candidates to have originated from a white dwarf with a mass clo…
Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147
The intracluster medium (ICM) is rich in chemical elements, produced by core-collapse (SNcc) and Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over the last 12 Gyr. Whereas cluster outskirts are…
The line modulations of H-like Fe, Ca, Ar, and S observed with /Resolve in Cyg X-3
Tomohiro Hakamata, Hirokazu Odaka, Ryota Tomaru +13
Cygnus X-3, hosting a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star whose dense wind produces various spectral lines due to photoionization by X-rays from a compact object, provides an ideal laboratory for…
Probable Detection of a Cooler Gas Component in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM
Julian Meunier, Brian R. McNamara, Aurora Simionescu +36
We present an analysis of the temperature structure of the Perseus cluster atmosphere using XRISM Resolve observations. The average temperature rises from 3.3 keV near the nucleus…
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…
A Fast, Hot Wind from a Nuclear Starburst
XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +137
Galaxies with intense star formation often host multiphase, galaxy-scale winds powered by supernovae and fast stellar winds. These are strong enough to disrupt the star-forming int…
