abstract
We present an initial analysis of the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) first-light observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) N132D in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Resolve microcalorimeter has obtained the first high-resolution spectrum in the 1.6-10 keV band, which contains K-shell emission lines of Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe. We find that the Si and S lines are relatively narrow, with a broadening represented by a Gaussian-like velocity dispersion of $\sigma_v \sim 450$ km s$^{-1}$. The Fe He$\alpha$ lines are, on the other hand, substantially broadened with $\sigma_v \sim 1670$ km s$^{-1}$. This broadening can be explained by a combination of the thermal Doppler effect due to the high ion temperature and the kinematic Doppler effect due to the SNR expansion. Assuming that the Fe He$\alpha$ emission originates predominantly from the supernova ejecta, we estimate the reverse shock velocity at the time when the bulk of the Fe ejecta were shock heated to be $-1000 \lesssim V_{\rm rs}~[{\rm km s}^{-1}] \lesssim 3300$ (in the observer frame). We also find that Fe Ly$\alpha$ emission is redshifted with a bulk velocity of $\sim 890$ km s$^{-1}$, substantially larger than the radial velocity of the local interstellar medium surrounding N132D. These results demonstrate that high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy is capable of providing constraints on the evolutionary stage, geometry, and velocity distribution of SNRs.

XRISM Reveals a Kinematically Coherent Core System of the Nearby Cool-Core Cluster Abell 2199
XRISM observations show the core of Abell 2199 is kinematically coherent with low turbulence, where turbulent heating may offset ~20% of radiative cooling losses.

The bulk motion of gas in the core of the Centaurus galaxy cluster
Hot gas in the Centaurus cluster core is moving toward us at 130 to 310 km/s, with low turbulence, indicating sloshing rather than strong AGN-driven motion.

XRISM reveals low non-thermal pressure in the core of the hot, relaxed galaxy cluster Abell 2029
The intracluster medium of Abell 2029 has a velocity dispersion of 169 +/- 10 km/s, implying a non-thermal pressure fraction of 2.6 +/- 0.3 percent if the motions are isotropic turbulence.

Ejecta Wakes from Companion Interaction in Type Ia Supernova Remnants
Companion-interaction wakes in Type Ia supernova remnants drive off-center reverse-shock convergence, pull interstellar medium to the remnant center, and keep the remnant X-ray asymmetric for thousands of years.

Detection of extended X-ray emission around the PeVatron microquasar V4641 Sgr with XRISM
XRISM detected extended X-ray emission around the PeVatron microquasar V4641 Sgr, with a spatial extent of about 7 arcmin and a flux of a few times 10^-12 erg/s/cm2, favoring a nearby acceleration site.
