XRISM found dense winds from a neutron star disc differ from those around black holes, challenging ideas on how such winds form and shape their environment.

On February 25, 2024, XRISM used its Resolve instrument to observe the neutron star GX13+1, which is the core of a once larger star that has burned out. GX13+1 is a bright X-ray source. These X-rays ...

Astronomers confirmed an off-center black hole in a dwarf galaxy. It offers clues to how supermassive black holes may form.

Astronomers at Penn State have nicknamed the objects “universe breakers,” which may be unusual black hole atmospheres and could represent a missing link in the fast growth of supermassive black holes.
