SPEX and Pyspextools can now also be directly installed through conda! The install command is as simple as `conda install -c spexxray spex pyspextools` to install both packages. See the manual for details: spex-xray.github.io/spex-help/gets…

Our developer @JdePlaa just gave a talk about SPEX at ESA's X-ray Universe conference in Athens, Greece. He summarised the recently added and upcoming improvements of SPEX. The slides can be found on Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… #XRU2023

The #XRISM mission is ready for launch this weekend 🚀! We are looking forward to amazing high-resolution X-ray spectra of our Universe. In this great video, our brilliant colleague Francois Mernier explains what XRISM is expected to see: youtu.be/WebVRTusuF4

The launch coverage of #XRISM has started: youtube.com/live/3TTTJ20iR…

Unfortunately, the #XRISM launch has been canceled due to weather concerns 20 min before launch. Hopefully, better luck next time! More information later...

These exciting first results show that the Resolve instrument aboard XRISM is performing very well! Looking forward to amazing high-resolution X-ray spectra from celestial sources. x.com/bjwilli2/statu…
