The universe is a strange place. The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) orbiting observatory recently highlighted this fact, when it was turned on a pulsar to document its powerful cosmic ...
Powerful winds from supermassive black holes may explain why some of the universe's largest galaxies stopped making as many ...
Data from an international space mission is confirming decades worth of speculation about the galactic neighborhoods of supermassive black holes. Some of the first data from an international space ...
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) isn’t the first of its kind, but the state-of-the-art spectroscopic instruments onboard have opened new doors for high-energy astrophysics. Active ...
An international research team has reported remarkable findings from an XRISM observation of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630–472, located in our galaxy. XRISM is an X-ray astronomy satellite ...
The recent findings from theXRISM spacecraft—launched by JAXA in collaboration with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA)—highlight the mission’s ability to detect and distinguish between different ...
XRISM’s high-precision X-ray data revealed unusually strong signatures of chlorine and potassium inside the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. These levels are far higher than theoretical models ...
XRISM data might revolutionize our understanding of X-ray sources and X-ray astronomy. You cannot run the 'Tokaido Shinkansen' bullet train on tracks built for steam locomotives. Similarly, you cannot ...
An artist's rendering of what's called an active galactic nucleus at the center of NGC 4151. The galaxy's black hole sits at the center, immediately surrounded by an accretion disk shown in blue. Some ...
