Observations of Magnetospheric Solar Wind Charge Exchange

R. Ringuette, K. D. Kuntz, D. Koutroumpa +3

The study of solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) emission is vital to both the X-ray astrophysics and heliophysics communities. SWCX emission contaminates all astrophysical observati…

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…

A disk-dominated and clumpy circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way seen in X-ray emission

P. Kaaret, D. Koutroumpa, K. D. Kuntz +7

The Milky Way galaxy is surrounded by a circumgalactic medium (CGM) that may play a key role in galaxy evolution as the source of gas for star formation and a repository of metals…

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…
