The recently launched XRISM mission, equipped with a cutting-edge X-ray microcalorimeter, is revolutionizing the landscape of X-ray astronomy. Its unmatched spectral resolution acts like a cosmic magnifying glass, revealing the unprecedented details of highly charged particles, from black holes to the largest structures in the Universe.
Complementary to XRISM's observations, a new generation of microcalorimeters, called Transition Edge Sensors (TES), has been developed at SRON and installed on the FlashEBIT instrument at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics. FlashEBIT creates controlled plasmas that mimic the conditions found in the universe's hottest and most energetic environments.
Through the combined power of XRISM and the TES-EBIT experiment, we embark on a thrilling voyage of discovery – exploring the nature of quantum systems both within our own labs and at the farthest reaches of the cosmos. In this colloquium talk, I will summarize the latest developments from XRISM and the TES-EBIT experiment, highlighting the most exciting scientific discoveries and lessons learned from both missions.
