The electron energy-loss rate due to radiative recombination

Junjie Mao, Jelle Kaastra, N. R. Badnell

For photoionized plasmas, electron energy-loss rates due to radiative recombination (RR) are required for thermal equilib- rium calculations, which assume a local balance between t…

Origin of central abundances in the hot intra-cluster medium - II. Chemical enrichment and supernova yield models

François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Ciro Pinto +7

The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) is rich in metals, which are synthesised by supernovae (SNe) and accumulate over time into the deep gravitational potential well of clusters of g…

Suzaku and XMM-Newton Observations of the North Polar Spur: Charge Exchange or ISM Absorption?

Liyi Gu, Junjie Mao, Elisa Costantini +1

By revisiting the Suzaku and XMM-Newton data of the North Polar Spur, we discovered that the spectra are inconsistent with the traditional model consisting of pure thermal emission…

Origin of central abundances in the hot intra-cluster medium - I. Individual and average abundance ratios from XMM-Newton EPIC

François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Ciro Pinto +5

The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) is rich in metals, which are synthesized by supernovae (SNe) explosions and accumulate over time into the deep gravitational potential well of cl…

Parameterization of the level-resolved radiative recombination rate coefficients for the SPEX code

Junjie Mao, Jelle Kaastra

The level-resolved radiative recombination (RR) rate coefficients for H-like to Na-like ions from H (Z = 1) up to and including Zn (Z = 30) are studied here. For H-like ions, the q…
