XRISM peers into the 'eye of the storm' — measuring cyclone‑like outflows around supermassive black holes NASA's XRISM X‑ray observatory has for the first time probed the 'eye of the storm' around supermassive black holes, resolving ionized outflows and directly measuring their speeds. This shift from static imaging to velocity measurements delivers new, quantifiable constraints on AGN-driven feedback and host-galaxy evolution.
