New XMM-Newton observations of faint, evolved supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

P. J. Kavanagh, M. Sasaki, M. D. Filipovic +5

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a rich population of supernova remnants (SNRs), our knowledge of which is the most complete of any galaxy. However, there remain many candida…

eROSITA detection of flares from the Be/X-ray binary A0538-66

L. Ducci, S. Mereghetti, A. Santangelo +8

In 2018, XMM-Newton observed the awakening in X-rays of the Be/X-ray binary (Be/XRB) A0538-66. It showed bright and fast flares close to periastron with properties that had never b…

SRGA J124404.1-632232/SRGU J124403.8-632231: a new X-ray pulsar discovered in the all-sky survey by SRG

V. Doroshenko, R. Staubert, C. Maitra +12

Ongoing all-sky surveys by the the eROSITA and the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescopes on-board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) mission have already revealed over a million of X-…

First studies of the diffuse X-ray emission in the Large Magellanic Cloud with eROSITA

Manami Sasaki, Jonathan Knies, Frank Haberl +9

In the first months after the launch in July 2019, eROSITA onboard Spektr-RG (SRG) performed long-exposure observations in the regions around SN 1987A and SNR N132D in the Large Ma…

SRG/eROSITA discovery of 164 s pulsations from the SMC Be/X-ray binary XMMU J010429.4-723136

S. Carpano, F. Haberl, C. Maitra +5

Context. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts many known high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), and all but one (SMC X-1) have a Be companion star. Through the calibration and verific…
