Speaker: Koji Mukai (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and University of Maryland) Title: Science with XRISM: Resolving the Nature of the Energetic Cosmos Abstract: The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), an international JAXA/NASA collaboration including participation from ESA, will be an advanced X-ray observatory. Resolve, the primary instrument on XRISM, is a high-resolution, non-dispersive X-ray

Speaker: Michela Negro (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/UMBC) Title: High Energy Transient Repeaters: The Case of Gamma-ray Bursts From Magnetar Abstract: Started in the ’60s with the detection of the first cosmological gamma-ray burst by the Vela satellites the astrophysics of high-energy transients has fascinated the community for more than half a century. Gamma-ray burst

Speaker: Shobita Satyapal (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/UMBC) Title: In Search of Elusive AGNs in Low Mass Galaxies and Mergers Abstract: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies, which manifest as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) when accreting, are now known to be a fundamental component of galaxies and play an important role in their evolution. Detecting complete samples of AGNs and
