Cosmic Rays Masquerading as Cool Cores: An Inverse-Compton Origin for Cool Core Cluster Emission
Philip F. Hopkins, Eliot Quataert, Emily M. Silich +3
X-ray bright cool-core (CC) clusters contain luminous radio sources accelerating cosmic ray (CR) leptons at prodigious rates. Near the acceleration region, high-energy leptons prod…
X-ray emission signatures of galactic feedback in the hot circumgalactic medium: predictions from cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
Emily M. Silich, John ZuHone, Elena Bellomi +6
Little is currently known about the physical properties of the hot circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding massive galaxies. Next-generation X-ray observatories will enable detaile…
Cosmic Rays Masquerading as Hot CGM Gas: An Inverse-Compton Origin for Diffuse X-ray Emission in the Circumgalactic Medium
Philip F. Hopkins, Eliot Quataert, Sam B. Ponnada +1
Observations have argued that Milky Way (MW), Andromeda, and lower-mass galaxies exhibit extended soft X-ray diffuse halos to radii kpc in the circumgalactic medium…
Improved Constraints on Mergers with SZ, Hydrodynamical simulations, Optical, and X-ray (ICM-SHOX). Paper II: Galaxy cluster sample overview
Emily M. Silich, Elena Bellomi, Jack Sayers +12
Galaxy cluster mergers are representative of a wide range of physics, making them an excellent probe of the properties of dark matter and the ionized plasma of the intracluster med…
ICM-SHOX. Paper I: Methodology overview and discovery of a gas--dark matter velocity decoupling in the MACS J0018.5+1626 merger
Emily M. Silich, Elena Bellomi, Jack Sayers +12
Galaxy cluster mergers are rich sources of information to test cluster astrophysics and cosmology. However, cluster mergers produce complex projected signals that are difficult to…
A Search for the 3.5 keV Line from the Milky Way's Dark Matter Halo with HaloSat
E. M. Silich, K. Jahoda, L. Angelini +5
Previous detections of an X-ray emission line near 3.5 keV in galaxy clusters and other dark matter-dominated objects have been interpreted as observational evidence for the decay…
Global X-Ray Properties of the Vela and Puppis A Supernova Remnants
E. M. Silich, P. Kaaret, A. Zajczyk +5
The Vela and Puppis A supernova remnants (SNRs) comprise a large emission region of diameter in the soft X-ray sky. The HaloSat CubeSat mission provides the first…
HaloSat -- A CubeSat to Study the Hot Galactic Halo
P. Kaaret, A. Zajczyk, D. M. LaRocca +13
HaloSat is a small satellite (CubeSat) designed to map soft X-ray oxygen line emission across the sky in order to constrain the mass and spatial distribution of hot gas in the Milk…
