Relativistic outflows power a quasi-periodic eruption: constraints on energetics, mass loss, and emission mechanisms

Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Wenbin Lu +17

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…

XRISM Spectroscopy of Variable Accretion-driven Disk Winds in NGC 4151: When, Where, and How Fast Outflows are Launched

Xin Xiang, Jon Miller, Missagh Mehdipour +12

X-ray observations probe the inner accretion flow within active galactic nuclei, revealing the highest gas column densities and fastest winds. The most diverse winds yet revealed w…

Kinematically Resolving the Fe K Complex in Her X-1: The Accretion Disk and Ionized Wind Across X-ray Eclipses

Koh Sakamoto, Teruaki Enoto, Peter Kosec +8

We present XRISM/Resolve spectroscopy of Her X-1 across three X-ray eclipses observed in September 2024, resolving its iron K complex through the ingress, mid-eclipse, and egress p…

Reverberation in the Narrow Fe K Line in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 with XRISM

Jon M. Miller, Aberahmen Zoghbi, Xin Xiang +11

Emission lines that "echo" variations in the ionizing flux produced close to black holes are powerful probes of the central engine. In the Seyfert-1.5 galaxy NGC 4151, high-resolut…

Dust grain chemistry in the diffuse ISM towards the black hole transient GX 339-4

I. Psaradaki, L. Corrales, E. Costantini +10

We present results on X-ray absorption and the dust grain chemistry in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), based on a new Cycle 25 Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spect…

The First Insights into an Ultraluminous X-ray Pulsar with XRISM: Phase-Resolved High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the Fe K-shell Band of M82 X-2

Shogo B. Kobayashi, Peter Kosec, Kazuki Ampuku +18

During the performance verification phase, XRISM observed the M82 galaxy for a net exposure of 207.7 ks, with the ultraluminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) X-2 included in the field of vie…
