The Astrophysical Journal 998(2) 210-210 2026年2月11日Abstract The XRISM/Resolve microcalorimeter directly measured the gas velocities in the core of the Virgo Cluster, the closest example of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback in a cluster. This proximity allows us to resolve the kinematic impact of feedback on scales down to 5 kpc. Our spectral analysis reveals a high velocity dispersion of km s −1 near the AGN, which steeply declines to ∼60 km s −1 between 5 and 25 kpc in the northwest direction. The observed line-of-sight bulk velocity in all regions is broadly consistent with the central galaxy, M87, with a mild trend toward blueshifted motions at larger radii. Systematic uncertainties have been carefully assessed and do not affect the measurements. The central velocities, if attributed entirely to isotropic turbulence, correspond to a transonic intracluster medium at sub-6 kpc scales with 3D Mach number and a nonthermal pressure fraction of . Simple models of weak shocks and sound waves and calculations assuming isotropic turbulence both support the hypothesis that the velocity field reflects a mix of shock-driven expansion and turbulence. Compared to other clusters observed by XRISM to date, M87’s central region stands out as the most kinematically disturbed, exhibiting both the highest velocity dispersion and the largest 3D Mach number, concentrated at the smallest physical scales.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters 994(1) L28-L28 2025年11月18日Abstract We stack 3.75 Ms of early XRISM Resolve observations of 10 galaxy clusters to search for unidentified spectral lines in the E = 2.5–15 keV band (rest frame), including the E = 3.5 keV line reported in earlier low spectral resolution studies of cluster samples. Such an emission line may originate from the decay of the sterile neutrino, a warm dark matter (DM) candidate. No unidentified lines are detected in our stacked cluster spectrum, with the 3 σ upper limit on the m s ∼ 7.1 keV DM particle decay rate (which corresponds to an E = 3.55 keV emission line) of Γ ∼ 1.0 × 10 −27 s −1 . This upper limit is 3–4 times lower than the one derived by Hitomi Collaboration from the Perseus observation but still 5 times higher than the XMM-Newton detection reported by E. Bulbul et al. in the stacked cluster sample. XRISM Resolve, with its high spectral resolution but small field of view, may reach the sensitivity needed to test the XMM-Newton cluster sample detection by combining several years worth of future cluster observations.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 77(6) 1278-1289 2025年11月17日Abstract We present results from XRISM/Resolve observations of the core of the galaxy cluster Abell 2319, focusing on its kinematic properties. The intracluster medium (ICM) exhibits temperatures of approximately 8 keV across the core, with a prominent cold front and a high-temperature region ($\sim$11 keV) in the north-west. The average gas velocity in the $3{^{\prime } } \times$ $4 {^{\prime } }$ region around the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) covered by two Resolve pointings is consistent with that of the BCG to within 40 km s$^{-1}$ and we found modest average velocity dispersion of 230–250 km s$^{-1}$. On the other hand, spatially resolved spectroscopy reveals interesting variations. A blueshift of up to $\sim$230 km s$^{-1}$ is observed around the east edge of the cold front, where the gas with the lowest specific entropy is found. The region further south inside the cold front shows only a small velocity difference from the BCG; however, its velocity dispersion is enhanced to $\sim$400 km s$^{-1}$, implying the development of turbulence. These characteristics indicate that we are observing sloshing motion with some inclination angle following BCG and that gas phases with different specific entropy participate in sloshing with their own velocities, as expected from simulations. No significant evidence for a high-redshift ICM component associated with the subcluster Abell 2319B was found in the region covered by the current Resolve pointings. These results highlight the importance of sloshing and turbulence in shaping the internal structure of Abell 2319. Further deep observations are necessary to better understand the mixing and turbulent processes within the cluster.

Publ.Astron.Soc.Jap.60:S11-S24,2008 2008年3月5日One of the advantages of the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) system on board<br /> Suzaku is its low and stable non-X-ray background (NXB). In order to make the<br /> best use of this advantage, modeling the NXB spectra with high accuracy is<br /> important to subtract them from the spectra of on-source observations. We<br /> construct an NXB database by collecting XIS events when the dark Earth covers<br /> the XIS FOV. The total exposure time of the NXB data is about 785 ks for each<br /> XIS. It is found that the count rate of the NXB anti-correlates with the<br /> cut-off-rigidity and correlates with the count rate of the PIN upper<br /> discriminator (PIN-UD) in Hard X-ray Detector on board Suzaku. We thus model<br /> the NXB spectrum for a given on-source observation by employing either of these<br /> parameters and obtain a better reproducibility of the NXB for the model with<br /> PIN-UD than that with the cut-off-rigidity. The reproducibility of the NXB<br /> model with PIN-UD is 4.55-5.63% for each XIS NXB in the 1-7 keV band and<br /> 2.79-4.36% for each XIS NXB in the 5-12 keV band for each 5 ks exposure of the<br /> NXB data. This NXB reproducibility is much smaller than the spatial fluctuation<br /> of the cosmic X-ray background in the 1-7 keV band, and is almost comparable to<br /> that in the 5-12 keV band.

PASJ : publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 60(1) S57-S68 2008年2月20日The accretion-powered pulsar Her X-1 was observed with Suzaku twice in its main-on state, on 2005 October 5-6 and 2006 March 29-30, for a net exposure of 30.5 ks and 34.4 ks, respectively. In the 2005 and 2006 observations, the source was detected at an average 10-30 keV intensity of 290 mCrab and 230 mCrab, respectively. The intrinsic pulse period was measured on both occasions at 1.23776 s by HXD-PIN, after barycentric and binary corrections. The pulse phase-averaged spectra in the energy range above 10 keV were well fitted by the "Negative and Positive power-law times EXponential" (NPEX) model, multiplied by a fundamental cyclotron resonance scattering feature at similar to 36 keV, which appears very significantly in the HXD-PIN data. The resonance profiles were successfully reproduced by a Lorentzian-type scattering cross section, rather than by a Gaussian-type alternative. The pulse phase-averaged HXD-GSO data, covering 50-120 keV, are featureless. However, in a differential spectrum between the pulse-decay phase and off-pulse phase, the second-harmonic cyclotron resonance was detected in the GSO data at similar to 73 keV, with a depth of 1.6(-0.7)(+0.9) This makes Her X-1 a 6th pulsar with established second-harmonic resonance. The implications of these results are briefly discussed.
