XRISM Master Catalog

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is an international mission led by Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). XRISM was launched on 2023 September 6 (UT) into a near-circular orbit with an apogee of ~575 km, an inclination of ~31 degrees, and an orbital period of about 96 minutes. During the performance verification (PV) phase, targets selected by the XRISM science team are being observed. Subsequently, it will become a general observatory with annual call for proposals open to all astronomers. XRISM has two co-aligned instruments that are used concurrently: Resolve, a soft X-ray spectrometer, and Xtend, a wide field-of-view imager. Resolve uses an X-ray microcalorimeter with ~5 eV spectral resolution withs a 3x3 arcmin field of view. It is currently operating with the Gate Valve closed, which limits its effective bandpass to 1.7-12 keV. Xtend is an X-ray CCD instrument with a 38 x 38 arcmin<sup>2</sup> field of view. This table contains a list of observations that have taken place as well as those that have been accepted and planned. The latter includes pre-approved targets for TOO observations and priority C targets whose observations are not guaranteed. This database table is based on information supplied by the XRISM Science Data Center at NASA/GSFC. It is updated automatically on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
