The X-ray microcalorimeter spectrometer that flew aboard Hitomi, known as the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS), delivered extraordinary results through its unparalleled spectral resolution and sensitivity. The instrument’s sole observation of a line-rich X-ray source will, when fully interpreted, dramatically improve our knowledge of galaxy clusters, connecting and advancing fields as diverse as large-scale structure formation and atomic physics.
