The paper ‘Measuring the asymmetric expansion of the Fe ejecta of Cassiopeia A with XRISM/Resolve’, by Dr. Bamba, has been accepted for publication in the special XRISM issue of the journal PASJ. In this paper, we observed the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), which is about 350 years old, with XRISM, which has excellent energy resolution, We showed that the plasma containing iron elements shows red-shift in the north-east and blue-shift in the south-west. From these observational facts we have identified that in Cas A fragments of the pre-explosion star are scattered in non-isotropic directions. These results are consistent with Neutrino-driven SN scenario, and are important not only for showing how heavy elements are scattered into space, but also for providing insights into the supernova explosion mechanism.
