As we scan through the simulated bubble, the line profile on the right varies, revealing its complex velocity structure! A notable ‘double-horn’ feature emerges at the bubble’s center, caused by the opposing expansion of its near and far sides. ⬅️➡️ (2/2)

Greetings from the Applied Superconductivity Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah! In his invited talk, Nick Wakeham (NASA GSFC/UMBC) showed how NASA’s #microcalorimeter designs are being optimized to achieve the exquisite measurements of X-ray photon energy needed for @LEMXray. 🔬

But how do supermassive black holes evolve? 📈 What about #AGN at high redshift? The unmatched spectral resolution of @LEMXray makes them very easy to catch via their Fe-K emission line! (4/5)

Today, John ZuHone @astrojaz, a member of @LEMXray scientific leadership, shared results from Zhang+2024 which show how LEM will finally unveil gas motions in the galaxy cluster outskirts that imprint the history of the large scale structure formation!
