The XRISM satellite, a collaborative effort between JAXA, NASA, and ESA, aims to offer unprecedented insights into the X-ray universe, exploring stellar phenomena and black hole activities. Launching alongside JAXA's SLIM, its instruments, Resolve and Xtend, promise advanced X-ray detection and anal

developed in collaboration between JAXA and NASA. When an X-ray hits Resolve’s 6-by-6-pixel detector, its energy causes a tiny increase in temperature. By measuring each individual X-ray’s energy, the instrument provides information about the source, such as its composition, motion, and physical state.absolute zero
XRISM’s second instrument, Xtend, was developed by JAXA. It will give XRISM one of the largest fields of view of any X-ray imaging satellite flown to date, observing an area about 60% larger than the average apparent size of the full moon. The images it collects will complement the data collected by Resolve.XRISM’s Unique X-ray ImagingX-ray wavelengths are so short, they can pass straight between the atoms of the dish-shaped mirrors used to capture visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light.
