We present $\sim$500 ks XRISM observations covering the central and two northern regions of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster. Resolve enables us to distinguish multiple emission lines from hydrogen-like and helium-like iron (Fe) ions. This…
We present the results from Suzaku observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster, which is relatively close, the brightest in the X-ray sky and a relaxed object with a cool core. A number of exposures of central regions and offset pointing…
We present the results of a search for unidentified emission lines in deep Suzaku X-ray spectra for the central regions of the four X-ray brightest galaxy clusters: Perseus, Coma, Virgo and Ophiuchus. We employ an optimized energy range for…
We investigate core structures of X-ray emitting intracluster gas based on the so-called beta-model, which is an isothermal hydrostatic model often used in observational studies. We reconsider the beta-model and find that the virial…
Using a deep Chandra observation of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, we find a high-abundance shell 250 arcsec (93 kpc) from the central nucleus. This ridge lies at the edge of the Perseus radio mini-halo. In addition we identify two Halpha…
We measure the intracluster medium temperature distributions for 62 galaxy clusters in the HIFLUGCS, an X-ray flux-limited sample, with available X-ray data from XMM-Newton. We search for correlations between the width of the temperature…
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E=3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of various massive systems, such as galaxies and clusters,…
We make a further study of the very deep Chandra observation of the X-ray brightest galaxy cluster, A426 in Perseus. We examine the radial distribution of energy flux inferred by the quasi-concentric ripples in surface brightness, assuming…
Perseus is the brightest X-ray strong cool-core (SCC) cluster, with a bright central radio and $\gamma$-ray source plus low-frequency radio mini and giant halos. It is the archetype of the cooling flow (CF) problem, with X-rays implying…
We study the physical properties of three clusters of galaxies, selected from a BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera (WFC) survey. These sources are identified as 1RXS J153934.7-833535, 1RXS J160147.6-754507, and 1RXS J081232.3-571423 in the ROSAT…
We have performed a uniform analysis of 79 clusters of galaxies with the ROSAT HRI and ASCA to study the X-ray structure and evolution of clusters in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1. We determined the average X-ray temperatures and the…
After discovery of the Fermi bubbles, giant structures observed in radio to X-rays have been discussed as possi- ble evidence of past activities in the Galactic Center (GC). We report here on the analysis of Suzaku data pointing around the…
We perform a detailed X-ray study of the filaments surrounding the brightest cluster galaxies in a sample of nearby galaxy clusters using deep Chandra observations, namely the Perseus, Centaurus and Virgo clusters, and Abell 1795. We…
We present the high-resolution X-rayspectroscopic observations of the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster core using the XRISM satellite. Despite previous observations revealing multiple cold fronts and dynamical disturbances in the cluster core, our…
The level of random motions in the intracluster gas lying between 20 and 60 kpc radius in the core of the Perseus cluster has been measured by the Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer at 164 +/- 10 km/s. The maximum energy density in turbulent…
We present results from the analysis of a BeppoSAX observation of the Centaurus Cluster. The radial metal abundance profile shows evidence of a large enhancement in the core, where Ab $>$ 1 (sol. units). The temperature map indicates that…
The analysis of Perseus data collected with the Medium Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (MECS) on board Beppo-SAX shows that the ratio of the flux of the 8 keV line complex (dominated by Fe K$_{\beta}$ emission) over the 6.8 keV line…

Major mergers between galaxy clusters can produce large turbulent and bulk flow velocities in the intra-cluster medium and thus imprint diagnostic features in X-ray spectral emission lines from heavy ions. As demonstrated by Hitomi in…
