Gas Motions in Hydra-A: XRISM Constraints on ICM Kinematics Across Jet-Inflated Cavities

Anwesh Majumder, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +8

We report on two deep XRISM observations of the central and northern regions of Hydra-A's X-ray atmosphere, covering the bubbles inflated by jets from the central galaxy's active g…

XRISM Observations of Abell 1795: Evidence for Low Turbulence and Resonant Scattering

Arnab Sarkar, Eric D. Miller, Brian McNamara +10

We present high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observations of the cool-core galaxy cluster Abell~1795 obtained with XRISM/Resolve. The cluster was observed with two deep pointings…

JWST reveals how black holes are fed: kiloparsec-scale multiphase filaments feed sub-kiloparsec circumnuclear disks

Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo +35

The Centaurus cluster is one of the most important archetypes of radio-mode AGN feedback, with its central galaxy, NGC 4696, launching powerful jets that inflate X-ray cavities and…

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM/Resolve reveals super-Solar abundance ratios in Virgo/M87

J. Martin, A. Simionescu, F. Mernier +26

The chemical composition of the intracluster medium (ICM) provides key insights into the enrichment history of galaxy clusters. However, high-resolution abundance measurements with…

Are X-ray Atmospheres Heated by Turbulent Dissipation? XRISM Constraints

B. R. McNamara, A. C. Fabian, H. R. Russell +5

We evaluate whether dissipation of turbulence injected into hot cluster atmospheres by jets and bubbles can offset radiative cooling flows. No trends are found between atmospheric…

A XRISM/Resolve view of the dynamics in the hot gaseous atmosphere of M87

XRISM Collaboration, M. Audard, H. Awaki +138

The XRISM/Resolve microcalorimeter directly measured the gas velocities in the core of the Virgo Cluster, the closest example of AGN feedback in a cluster. This proximity allows us…

The relationship between warm and hot gas-phase metallicity in massive elliptical galaxies and the influence of AGN feedback

Valeria Olivares, Yuanyuan Su, Pasquale Temi +10

Warm ionized gas is ubiquitous at the centers of X-ray bright elliptical galaxies. While it is believed to play a key role in the feeding and feedback processes of supermassive bla…

The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book

Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395

The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…

XRISM constraints on unidentified X-ray emission lines, including the 3.5 keV line, in the stacked spectrum of ten galaxy clusters

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +150

We stack 3.75 Megaseconds of early XRISM Resolve observations of ten galaxy clusters to search for unidentified spectral lines in the 2.5-15 keV band (rest frame), including t…

The Onset of Feedback in Abell 1885: Evidence for Large-Scale Quenching Despite a Young Central AGN

Laurel White, Michael McDonald, Francesco Ubertosi +4

We present a new 8.5 ks Chandra observation of Abell 1885, obtained as part of the Cluster Evolution Reference Ensemble At Low-z (CEREAL) survey of ~200 low-z galaxy groups and clu…

Directly Imaging the Cooling Flow in the Phoenix Cluster

Michael Reefe, Michael McDonald, Marios Chatzikos +14

In the centers of many galaxy clusters, the hot (10 K) intracluster medium (ICM) can become dense enough that it should cool on short timescales. However, the low measure…

Thermally Unstable Cooling Stimulated by Uplift: The Spoiler Clusters

C. G. Martz, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +9

We analyzed Chandra X-ray observations of five galaxy clusters whose atmospheric cooling times, entropy parameters, and cooling time to free-fall time ratios within the central gal…

A series of shocks and edges in Abell 2219

R. E. A. Canning, S. W. Allen, D. E. Applegate +6

We present deep, 170 ks, Chandra X-ray observations of Abell 2219 (z=0.23) one of the hottest and most X-ray luminous clusters known, and which is experiencing a major merger event…
