The Astrophysical Journal 1003(2) 156-156 2026年5月22日Abstract The supermassive binary system, η Carinae, is experiencing enormous wind-driven mass loss at a rate unparalleled in the rest of the Galaxy. Their wind–wind collision (WWC) continuously produces shock heated, X-ray-emitting plasmas. The XRISM X-ray observatory observed the system in 2023 and 2024 when the X-ray emission began to increase toward periastron passage in 2025. This paper reports unprecedentedly high-resolution X-ray spectra in the Fe K α band between 6.2 and 7.1 keV, obtained with the Resolve X-ray microcalorimeter. The hydrogen-like (Ly α ) and helium-like (He α ) lines reveal three velocity components. Two of them are broadened with maximum velocities of 2000–3000 km s −1 , likely originating from the postshock companion wind. The other is relatively narrow, with a Gaussian broadening of only ∼290 km s −1 in 1 σ , which may originate from the postshock companion wind at the WWC stagnation point or penetrating the primary wind. The Fe fluorescent lines exhibit a moderate blueshift and broadening with velocities at 100–200 km s −1 , consistent with the primary wind’s velocity field. The spectra also confirm a Compton shoulder of the He α line complex for the first time. Both fluorescing and scattering spectral profiles indicate that the binary system is seen from the companion side during these observations. The flux ratio of the Compton-scattering emission to the fluorescent line suggests substantial hydrogen depletion of the primary wind, expected from CNO-cycled hydrogen nuclear fusion gas.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 2026年4月9日Abstract We report the presence of a highly ionized absorber in the transient, eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary AX J1745.6-2901, observed from 2024 February 26–29 with XRISM’s Resolve and Xtend instruments. During a soft/high state without dips, Resolve’s high spectral resolution ($E/\Delta E \sim 1000$, full width at half-maximum) revealed narrow velocity widths ($\sigma \sim 110~{\rm km~s^{-1 } }$) for Fe xxvi and Ni xxviii lines, even with low photon statistics. These widths are consistent with binary orbital motion. The observed modest blueshift velocity (${\sim }160~{\rm km~s^{-1 } }$) indicates that the absorber is located sufficiently far from the neutron star (${>}10^9$ cm), so that gravitational redshift effects are not dominant. On the other hand, broad-band spectral analysis using a photoionized plasma model applied to the Xtend data constrains the absorber to lie within a radius of ${\lesssim }10^{9.5}$ cm, as inferred from the upper limits of the best-fitting ionization parameter ($\log \xi \sim 4.4$) and the large column density (${\sim }1.6\times 10^{24}~{\rm cm^{-2 } }$). At this distance, the observed outward velocity of the absorber is about an order of magnitude smaller than the escape velocity from the neutron star.

Astronomy & Astrophysics 708 A130-A130 2026年4月1日Context. The origin of accretion-disc winds remains disputed. High-inclination, dipping, neutron-star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) provide an excellent testbed for studying the launching mechanism of such winds due to them persistently accreting and showing a nearly ubiquitous presence of highly ionised plasmas. Aims. We aim to establish or rule out the presence of a wind in the high-inclination LMXB 4U 1624−49, for which a highly ionised plasma has been repeatedly observed in X-ray spectra by Chandra and XMM-Newton, and a thermal–radiative pressure wind is expected. Methods. We leveraged the exquisite spectral resolution of the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) to perform phase-resolved spectroscopy of the full binary orbit to characterise the highly ionised plasma at all phases except during absorption dips. Results. An outflow is clearly detected via phase-resolved spectroscopy of the source with XRISM Resolve. Based on analysis of the radial-velocity curve, we determine an average velocity of ∼200−320 km s −1 and a column density above 10 23 cm −2 . The line profiles are generally narrow, spanning ∼50−100 km s −1 , depending on the orbital phase; this points to a low-velocity sheer or turbulence of the highly ionised outflow and a potential increase of turbulence as the absorption dip is approached, likely due to turbulent mixing. Conclusions. The line profiles, together with the derived launching radius and wind velocity, are consistent with a wind being launched from the outskirts of the disc and without stratification, pointing to a thermal-radiative pressure origin.

Astrophys.J. 539 (2000) 413; Erratum-ibid. 651 (2006) 615-616 2000年3月16日We have discovered errors in the calculation of some of the Einstein<br /> coefficients in Table 5 and some plots in Figure 3. Due to the errors, the<br /> square-root section of the curves of growth of Fe xxvi Ka and Kb, and Ni xxviii<br /> Ka in Figure 3 were a few times underestimated. We correct Table 5 and re-plot<br /> Figure 3 together with the unaffected curves. The program to calculate the<br /> corrected curves of growth is available at<br /> http://www.hp.phys.titech.ac.jp/kotani/cog/index.html

Astrophys.J.535:632,2000 535(2) 632-643 2000年1月3日Studies were made of ASCA spectra of seven ultra-luminous compact X-ray<br /> sources (ULXs) in nearby spiral galaxies; M33 X-8 (Takano et al. 1994), M81 X-6<br /> (Fabbiano 1988b; Kohmura et al. 1994; Uno 1997), IC 342 Source 1 (Okada et al.<br /> 1998), Dwingeloo 1 X-1 (Reynolds et al. 1997), NGC 1313 Source B (Fabbiano &<br /> Trinchieri 1987; Petre et al. 1994), and two sources in NGC 4565 (Mizuno et al.<br /> 1999). With the 0.5--10 keV luminosities in the range 10^{39-40} ergs/s, they<br /> are thought to represent a class of enigmatic X-ray sources often found in<br /> spiral galaxies. For some of them, the ASCA data are newly processed, or the<br /> published spectra are reanalyzed. For others, the published results are quoted.<br /> The ASCA spectra of all these seven sources have been described successfully<br /> with so called multi-color disk blackbody (MCD) emission arising from<br /> optically-thick standard accretion disks around black holes. Except the case of<br /> M33 X-8, the spectra do not exhibit hard tails. For the source luminosities not<br /> to exceed the Eddington limits, the black holes are inferred to have rather<br /> high masses, up to ~100 solar masses. However, the observed innermost disk<br /> temperatures of these objects, Tin = 1.1--1.8 keV, are too high to be<br /> compatible with the required high black-hole masses, as long as the standard<br /> accretion disks around Schwarzschild black holes are assumed. Similarly high<br /> disk temperatures are also observed from two Galactic transients with<br /> superluminal motions, GRO 1655-40 and GRS 1915+105. The issue of unusually high<br /> disk temperature may be explained by the black hole rotation, which makes the<br /> disk get closer to the black hole, and hence hotter.

東海大学紀要. 理学部 32 125-133 1997年3月An eclipsing X-ray binary pulsar, Centaurus X-3 was observed with the ASCA satellite on Februarly 1-2 1995,during a non-eclipse phase of 0.11 to 0.81. We found that the X-ray pulse profiles observed with ASCA change in shape and amplitude according with the orbital phase. The three K_α lines at 6.4,6.67,and 6.96 keV from neutral, He-like, and H-like ironions, respectively, could be resolved in the observed energy spectrum owing to the high energy resolution of the CCD cameras on board ASCA. We found that the intensity of the 6.4 keV line changes with pulse phase. Distribution and ionization degree of matter surrounding the neutron star are discussed based on this result.
