X-ray spectra obtained with Resolve (blue: first half of observation, red: latter half of observation) and spectra obtained previously with HETGS onboard Chandra (gray).

Caption

The red spectrum has been shifted downward for ease of comparison (the X-ray intensity has been reduced to approximately 60% of the actual value). In reality, it is almost identical to the blue spectrum except for the absorption lines.
