US EditionXRISM reveals surprisingly sluggish winds from neutron star differ from black hole outflows
XRISM's Resolve instrument observed GX13+1's winds at about 1 million km/h, much slower than black hole winds reaching up to 200 million km/h, revealing denser, smoother outflows.

XRISM reveals surprisingly sluggish winds from neutron star differ from black hole outflows
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed an unexpected difference between the powerful winds launching from a disk around a neutron star and those from material circling supermassive black holes.
“Black Holes vs Neutron Stars: The Wind Mystery” – Meson Stars
Astronomers using the XRISM space telescope have discovered something unexpected: powerful winds blowing from the neutron star system GX13+1 are much slower and denser than those from supermassive black holes. GX13+1 is the collapsed core of a dead star, surrounded by a hot accretion disk. As matter spirals in, it releases X-rays — and creates winds that shape the surrounding space. Normally, at the so-called Eddington limit, these winds should …
Scientists discover surprisingly slow winds from a neutron star
Astronomers using the new X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) have discovered that the fierce winds blowing from matter spiraling into a neutron star behave very differently from those coming from around black holes. The findings, published in Nature, show that while the winds from the neutron star system are unusually dense, they are also […] The post Scientists discover surprisingly slow winds from a neutron star appeared first on K…
The X-ray imaging and spectroscopy mission (Xrism) revealed an unexpected difference between the powerful winds that launch from a disc around a neutron star and those of materials encircling supermassive black holes. The surprisingly dense wind that blows from the stellar system calls into question our understanding of [...]
