JAXA Press Briefing today at 2pm JST on the latest from the X-ray telescope, XRISM, that was launched last September 🔭🛰️!

I expect it will be... entirely in Japanese... but there'll be an English web release on the ISAS website hopefully around the same time ⭐

Here's the XRISM press release in English! Early science results from the X-ray telescope have measured the hot hot hot temperatures inside a supernovae remnant, and measured bits of the spicy torus of plasma badness that surrounds supermassive black holes.

If you'd like to learn more about XRISM, and the fight for the rebirth of the X-ray telescope by NASA and JAXA after the loss of Hitomi, and the battle to build through the COVID lockdowns, then might I suggest the following perusal, with a tantalising little trailer video:

@elizabethtasker lovely! I can't wait for the first results to come in and to finally get my hands on some data (my collab got a proposal through in the first GO cal!).
