These exciting first results show that the Resolve instrument aboard XRISM is performing very well! Looking forward to amazing high-resolution X-ray spectra from celestial sources. xitter.gq/bjwilli2/status/171499…

This is NOT “first light,” and is not from a celestial source. This is the on-orbit spectrum of the onboard Fe-55 cal source illuminating the full XRISM Resolve array, showing a resolution of ~4.4 eV. First science results to come in late 2023/early 2024!

We just had a great high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy school in Alicante, Spain as part of @ahead2020. The school consisted of a mix of both great science talks by experts in the field and hands-on sessions with SPEX, Xspec and HEASOFT.
