Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the first eROSITA survey I. Candidate catalogs
P. Weber, T. P. Roberts, S. Hämmerich +28
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are luminous non-nuclear X-ray point sources embedded in galaxies. Their luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s potentially require sub-Eddington acc…
The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey DR2: Cumulative X-ray catalogues from the first three surveys and multi-wavelength counterparts in the western Galactic hemisphere
M. E. Ramos-Ceja, G. Lamer, M. Salvato +111
The eROSITA telescope array on board the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission began its all-sky survey program in December 2019, scanning the sky at an approximately six-month cad…
A large population of over-massive black hole quasars at z=0.3-0.8 revealed by eROSITA
Johannes Buchner, Isabelle Gauger, Qiaoya Wu +14
In most galaxies, the central black hole accounts for no more than a percent of the total mass in stars. Recently, however, extremely over-massive black holes with ratios of 10% ha…
Shooting for the stars: Jet-mode feedback and AGN jet deceleration from stellar mass-loading
Talia M. O'Shea, Sebastian Heinz, Melinda Soares-Furtado +2
AGN jets are thought to be vital ingredients in galaxy evolution through the action of kinetic feedback; however, how narrow, relativistic outflows couple to galaxies remains an op…
Counterpart identification and classification for eRASS1 and characterisation of the AGN content
M. Salvato, J. Wolf, T. Dwelly +44
[abridged] Accurately accounting for the AGN phase in galaxy evolution requires a large, clean AGN sample. This is now possible with SRG/eROSITA. The public Data Release 1 (DR1, Ja…
The Average Soft X-ray Spectra of eROSITA Active Galactic Nuclei
Shi-Jiang Chen, Johannes Buchner, Teng Liu +16
Context. AGNs are strong X-ray emitters shaped by disk-corona interactions. The soft excess (0.5-2.0 keV) reveals key information about the "warm corona" bridging the disk and hot…
Searching for supermassive black holes binaries within SRG/eROSITA-De I: Properties of the X-ray selected candidates
D. Tubín-Arenas, M. Krumpe, D. Homan +20
Abridged: Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) separated by (sub)-pc scales represent one of the latest stages of hierarchical galaxy assembly. However, many of these objects…
Winds of change: the nuclear and galaxy-scale outflows and the X-ray variability of 2MASS 0918+2117
P. Baldini, G. Lanzuisi, M. Brusa +21
Powerful outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can significantly impact the gas reservoirs of their host galaxies. However, it is still unclear how these outflows can propagat…
The LOFAR-eFEDS survey: The incidence of radio and X-ray AGN and the disk-jet connection
Z. Igo, A. Merloni, D. Hoang +15
Radio jets are present in a diverse sample of AGN. However, the mechanisms of jet powering are not fully understood, and it is yet unclear to what extent they obey mass-invariant s…
The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey: Hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei
Sophia G. H. Waddell, J. Buchner, K. Nandra +12
The eROSITA instrument aboard the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite has performed its first all-sky survey between December 2019 and June 2020. This paper presents the result…
The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): the hard X-ray selected sample
K. Nandra, S. G. H. Waddell, T. Liu +25
During its calibration and performance verification phase, the eROSITA instrument aboard the SRG satellite performed a uniform wide--area X-ray survey of approximately 140 deg$^{2}…
The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey: First X-ray catalogues and data release of the western Galactic hemisphere
A. Merloni, G. Lamer, T. Liu +142
The eROSITA telescope array aboard the Spektrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite began surveying the sky in December 2019, with the aim of producing all-sky X-ray source lists and sk…
The first X-ray look at SMSS J114447.77-430859.3: the most luminous quasar in the last 9 Gyr
E. S. Kammoun, Z. Igo, J. M. Miller +18
SMSS\,J114447.77-430859.3 () has been identified in the SkyMapper Southern Survey as the most luminous quasar in the last . In this paper, we report on the…
Stellar wind variability in Cygnus X-1 from high-resolution excess variance spectroscopy with Chandra
Lucia K. Härer, Michael L. Parker, Ileyk El Mellah +5
Stellar winds of massive stars are known to be driven by line absorption of UV photons, a mechanism which is prone to instabilities, causing the wind to be clumpy. The clumpy struc…
The nature of the extreme X-ray variability in the NLS1 1H 0707-495
M. L. Parker, W. N. Alston, L. Härer +11
We examine archival XMM-Newton data on the extremely variable narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) active galactic nucleus (AGN) 1H 0707-495. We construct fractional excess variance (Fvar)…
Modelling X-ray RMS spectra II: the ultra-fast outflow of PDS 456
L. Härer, M. L. Parker, A. Joyce +6
We present an improved model for excess variance spectra describing ultra-fast outflows and successfully apply it to the luminous (L ~ 10^47 erg/s) low-redshift (z = 0.184) quasar…
