Caption: Broad band simulated Athena/X-IFU spectrum of Perseus as derived from the early Hitomi/SXS observation. A zoom on the Iron L and K line complex highlights the wealth of the X-IFU spectrum. The grey area displaying a large number of lines was not observed by Hitomi/SXS. This energy range will be observed by XRISM/Resolve.

Additional comments: The data for the plot are courtesy of C. Pinto and A. Fabian. The model is derived from fitting the Hitomi/SXS data.
