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…
Chandra X-Ray Imaging and Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of SN 1987A: Energy-Dependent Morphology of the Equatorial Ring
Yusuke Sakai, Shinya Yamada, Koji Mori +8
We present a systematic imaging and spatially resolved spectral study of SN 1987A using Chandra observations obtained between 1999 and 2025. By combining multiepoch ACIS and HETG d…
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…
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…
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…
