4MOST ChANGES: Catalog of high-redshift quasar candidates (4.5 < < 7) selected with SED fitting

T. Mkrtchyan, C. Mazzucchelli, R. J. Assef +12

The identification of high-redshift quasars () is critical for studying the early Universe, supermassive black hole growth, and cosmic reionization. Most known high-redshi…

Average X-ray properties of galaxy groups. From Milky Way-like halos to massive clusters

P. Popesso, I. Marini, K. Dolag +20

This study examines the average X-ray properties of massive halos at z< 0.2, covering the largest halo mass range to date, from Milky Way-like halos to massive clusters. The analys…

The hot gas mass fraction in halos. From Milky Way-like groups to massive clusters

P. Popesso, A. Biviano, I. Marini +21

By using eROSITA data in the eFEDS area, we provide a measure of the hot gas fraction vs. halo mass relation over the largest halo mass range, from Milky Way-sized halos to massive…

Detecting clusters and groups of galaxies populating the local Universe in large optical spectroscopic surveys

I. Marini, P. Popesso, K. Dolag +13

Wide-field cosmological surveys provide hundreds of thousands of spectroscopically confirmed galaxy groups and clusters, valuable for tracing baryonic matter distribution. However,…

What's Missing in AGN Feedback? Lessons learnt from Magneticum, IllustrisTNG and Simba

D. T. Mazengo, P. Popesso, I. Marini +20

Accurately balancing gas reservoirs, star formation, and feedback across cosmic time remains a central challenge for galaxy formation models in modern hydrodynamical simulations. W…

Detecting Galaxy Groups and AGNs populating the local Universe in the eROSITA era

I. Marini, P. Popesso, G. Lamer +14

The eROSITA will deliver an unprecedented volume of X-ray survey observations, 20-30 times more sensitive than ROSAT in the soft band (0.5-2 keV) and for the first time imaging in…

The kinematic imprinting of environmental quenching in galaxies

Natan de Isídio, P. Popesso, Y. Bahé +9

We present the first systematic census of quenching mechanisms using kinematic asymmetries in a large sample of 6,700 galaxies from the MaNGA survey, providing a unified view…

The perils of stacking optically selected groups in eROSITA data. The Magneticum perspective

P. Popesso, I. Marini, K. Dolag +23

Hydrodynamical simulation predictions are often compared with observational data without fully accounting for systematics and biases specific to observational techniques. Using the…

Optical spectroscopy of host-galaxies of intermediate mass black holes: evolution of central black holes

V. Goradzhanov, I. Chilingarian, M. Demianenko +6

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses below () are pivotal in understanding the origin and growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs…

The eROSITA view on the halo mass-temperature relation: From low-mass groups to massive clusters

V. Toptun, P. Popesso, I. Marini +15

Galaxy groups and clusters are among the best probes of structure formation and growth in a cosmological context. Most of their baryonic component is dominated by the intracluster…

astro-ph.GA2025

The impact of assembly history on the X-ray detectability of halos. From galaxy groups to galaxy clusters

I. Marini, P. Popesso, K. Dolag +15

Galaxy groups represent a significant fraction of the halo population, playing a crucial role in galaxy formation and evolution. However, their detection in X-rays remains challeng…
