Scientists using the XRISM satellite have uncovered a major clue to one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries: why galaxy ...

Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...

Supermassive black holes are unleashing high-energy outbursts that behave more like bullets than breezes, according to a new ...

However, black holes might not just be destructive; they could also be creative. Scientists have just observed a superstorm ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their ...

However, how the winds form really close to the black holes is unclear. Thanks to the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission ...

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 ...

Astronomers are excited to glean new insights into the formation of the universe and dark matter with the help of a space telescope called the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), a ...

Researchers have discovered that ultra-fast wind surrounding a supermassive black hole is not smooth and continuous as previously assumed, but instead ...

JAXA’s XRISM X-ray telescope captured the distribution of matter falling into the supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 4151 over a wide radius, spanning from 0.001 to 0.1 light-years. By ...

Professor Done is one of only two European scientists supported by the European Space Agency to be part of the Japanese/U.S. X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), which is observing hot ...
