NASA's newest astronomical instrument, the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), launched into orbit last September ...

XRISM’s Resolve instrument has revealed that N132D is not a simple, spherical bubble of gas, as previously thought, but rather a complex structure shaped like a doughnut.

XRISM will detect X-ray light, a wavelength invisible to humans. Studying stellar explosions and black holes X-rays are released by some of the most energetic objects and events in the universe ...

XRISM could change the way we see the X-ray universe, but a jammed door presents a mighty challenge. With the door closed, low energy X-rays are impossible to detect. But trying to open the door ...

XRISM will make use of this effect when it looks at X-ray emissions from materials that surround the most massive and dense objects in the universe, namely supermassive black holes that lie at the ...

XRISM and SLIM were expected to launch from an H-IIA rocket from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center on Sunday at 8:26 p.m. Eastern time (or Monday at 9:26 a.m. in Japan).

XRISM, a collaboration between NASA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), features a telescope named Resolve that is a microcalorimeter spectrometer, which is an instrument actually ...

“XRISM will be a valuable bridge between ESA’s other X-ray missions: XMM-Newton, which is still going strong after 24 years in space, and Athena, which is due to launch in the late 2030s ...

XRISM will detect X-ray light, a wavelength invisible to humans. Studying stellar explosions and black holes X-rays are released by some of the most energetic objects and events in the universe ...

A jammed door on XRISM presents a mighty challenge. With the door closed, low energy X-rays are impossible to detect. But trying to open the door could put the rest of the mission at risk.
