First Detection of X-ray Polarization and Its Short-term Increase Pre- and Post-Eclipse in HMXB 4U 1700-377
Kaito Ninoyu, Keisuke Uchiyama, Shinya Yamada +9
We report the first statistically significant detection of X-ray polarization from the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) 4U 1700-377, observed using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explo…
Arcsecond-Scale X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy of SS 433 with Chandra HETG
Yusuke Sakai, Shinya Yamada, Haruka Sakemi +5
We present a spatial and spectral analysis of arcsecond-scale X-ray emission in SS 433 using zeroth-order data from Chandra High-Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) observations. Th…
XRISM insights for interstellar Sulfur
Lia Corrales, Elisa Costantini, Sascha Zeegers +15
The X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) provides the best spectral resolution with which to study Sulfur (S) K-shell photoabsorption features from the interstellar medium (I…
XRISM Spectroscopy of the Stellar-Mass Black Hole 4U 1630-472 in Outburst
Jon M. Miller, Misaki Mizumoto, Megumi Shidatsu +23
We report on XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of the recurrent transient and well-known black hole candidate 4U 1630472 during its 2024 outburst. The source was captured at the end of…
High count rate effects in event processing for XRISM/Resolve x-ray microcalorimeter: II. Energy scale and resolution in orbit
Misaki Mizumoto, Yoshiaki Kanemaru, Shinya Yamada +7
The Resolve instrument on the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) uses a 36-pixel microcalorimeter designed to deliver high-resolution, non-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy…
High count rate effects in event processing for XRISM/Resolve x-ray microcalorimeter: I. Ground test
Misaki Mizumoto, Tsubasa Tamba, Masahiro Tsujimoto +11
The spectroscopic performance of an X-ray microcalorimeter is compromised at high count rates. In this study, we utilize the Resolve X-ray microcalorimeter onboard the XRISM satell…
