XRISM Data Analysis
Aysegul Tumer (NASA GSFC), Center for Space Sciences and Technology.
X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is a NASA and JAXA joint project. The X-ray satellite was launched in September 2023 to low earth orbit and is in the observation stage of the first general observer program. The mission has a micro-calorimeter detector that enables the highest spectral resolution amongst past and present space based X-ray missions. The XRISM performance verification data will become public on 31 August 2025. With this project proposed under HPC, we will be analyzing the XRISM X-ray data for galaxy clusters jointly with NuSTAR X-ray observatory. Both instruments suffer from wide point spread function, which results in inter-contamination from various substructures within FOV. Given the complexity of the analyses methods combined with extremely high energy resolution of XRISM, high performance computing is necessary
