Talk S8 - Cosmological Implications and Large-Scale Environment: Discussing the role of AGN in structure formation and galaxy evolution models, including the effect of the large-scale environment on AGN activity

Description

XRISM, the Japanese/American X-ray observatory with significant European contribution, was launched in 2023, with the promise to revolutionise our understanding of a number of astrophysical phenomena.
The exquisite energy resolution of the Resolve calorimeter has allowed us to investigate large scale structures and accretion disks, in addition to a rich observatory science program. In this talk I will highlight some of the main, transformational, results of XRISM, in particular related to the accretion disk environment, and how XRISM will help us refining the science case of future X-ray calorimeters.
