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.

The Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory has released a first look at the unprecedented data it will collect when science operations begin later this year.

The secrets of the Universe continue to unfold. The first observations from the XRISM telescope are changing our understanding of matter around black holes and supernovae by revealing details ...

These discoveries ... First Data from XRISM Space Mission Provides New Perspective on Supermassive Black Holes Sep. 30, 2024 — Data from an international space mission is confirming decades ...

A schematic shows how the XRISM mission can take spectra from different parts of an active galactic nucleus: the thin, hot accretion disk; an intermediate zone called the broad-line region ...

But the cryogenics worked as expected, and a similar system has been installed on Hitomi’s successor, the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), which was launched in September 2023.

Fourteen minutes after the launch, the X-ray astronomy satellite XRISM was placed in orbit, and 33 minutes later, the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) probe was also placed in orbit.

The rocket was also carrying the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) satellite, a joint project between the Japanese, American and European space agencies. The satellite, containing a ...

Nov. 4, 2024 — A new study details how climate change transforms coastal wetlands in North Carolina from forest to marshland or even open water, and how satellite imagery may help better direct ...

Through the early 1900s, astronomers disagreed on whether the universe was home to a multitude of galaxies, so-called “island universes,” or contained entirely within the boundaries of the ...

November 4, 2024 • How did life start on Earth? The answer is a big scientific mystery scientists are actively investigating. After talking with many scientists, host Regina G. Barber found that ...
