contents We report evidence for the resonant scattering effect at the center of the galaxy cluster PKS 0745-191 with XRISM. We analyzed XRISM/Resolve commissioning-phase observations of the distant cluster PKS 0745-191 (z = 0.103) with a 54 ks exposure. The gain drift was corrected using the onboard modulated X-ray source (MXS), and spectra were extracted from all pixels well illuminated by MXS, the core region (four central pixels, about 100 kpc), and the surrounding region. A single-temperature collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) model fits the full field-of-view spectrum with kT about 6 keV and a turbulent velocity of about 120 km/s. From the core (r < 50 kpc) spectrum, we detect about 22 percent suppression of the Fe XXV He-alpha resonance (w) line relative to the CIE prediction. We performed Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the resonant scattering (RS) effect using radial profiles from Chandra data. The RS-inferred turbulence agrees with that inferred from Resolve line broadening, demonstrating that RS provides an independent and consistent constraint on ICM turbulence. These results highlight the potential of XRISM/Resolve for turbulence studies in galaxy clusters.
