Scientists from XRISM have discovered why galaxy clusters remain hot. This phenomenon has intrigued researchers for years, but until now, no explanations were available for the temperatures reaching millions of degrees.

The XRISM collaboration has discovered flows of hot gas in the core of the Centaurus Cluster. By comparing state-of-the-art X-ray measurements from the XRISM satellite with numerical simulations, they showed this is evidence for collisions between galaxy clusters,

Scientists used XRISM to detect hot gas flows in Centaurus Cluster, proving that galaxy collisions cause gas movement and keep clusters hot.

XRISM has uncovered how galaxy clusters evolve—violent mergers create turbulence, preventing hot gas from cooling. This discovery solves a long-standing mystery and provides new insight into cosmic history.

Scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: why do galaxy clusters stay hot? Thanks to a new discovery from the XRISM satellite, researchers now know that gas inside galaxy clusters moves like liquid in a shaken cup,

Scientists from XRISM have discovered why galaxy clusters remain hot. This phenomenon has intrigued researchers for years, but no answers were found as to what causes temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius.
