Twenty-five years of XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 Unfocused Particle Background: Solar Cycle Modulation, Galactic Cosmic-Ray Correlation, and Implications for NewAthena
B. Vaia, F. Gastaldello, S. Molendi +13
We present a study of the unfocused particle-induced background measured by the XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 detector, extending previous analyses to the end of 2025 and covering approxima…
Baryonification IV: Constraining baryonic feedback with X-ray gas fractions
Jozef Bucko, Andrina Nicola, Aurel Schneider +8
Baryonic feedback redistributes gas around dark matter halos, suppressing the matter power spectrum at scales now probed by weak lensing surveys. X-ray observations directly trace…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
CHEX-MATE : turbulence in the ICM from X-ray surface brightness fluctuations
Simon Dupourqué, Nicolas Clerc, Etienne Pointecouteau +15
The intra-cluster medium is prone to turbulent motion that will contribute to the non-thermal heating of the gas, complicating the use of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes. In…
CHEX-MATE: CLUster Multi-Probes in Three Dimensions (CLUMP-3D), I. Gas Analysis Method using X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Data
Junhan Kim, Jack Sayers, Mauro Sereno +23
Galaxy clusters are the products of structure formation through myriad physical processes that affect their growth and evolution throughout cosmic history. As a result, the matter…
Does the Fe L-shell blend bias abundance measurements in intermediate-temperature clusters?
G. Riva, S. Ghizzardi, S. Molendi +5
In intermediate-temperature (T = 2.5 - 4.5 keV) galaxy clusters, abundance measurements are almost-equally driven by Fe K and L transitions, at 6.7 keV and 0.9 - 1.3 keV, re…
CHEX-MATE: Morphological analysis of the sample
Maria Giulia Campitiello, Stefano Ettori, Lorenzo Lovisari +17
In this work, we performed an analysis of the X-ray morphology of the 118 CHEX-MATE (Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton - Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of…
The origin of the unfocused XMM-Newton background, its variability and lessons learned for ATHENA
Fabio Gastaldello, Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi +7
We analyzed the unexposed to the sky outFOV region of the MOS2 detector on board XMM-Newton covering 15 years of data amounting to 255 Ms. We show convincing evidence that the orig…
Chandra Observations of the Planck ESZ Sample: A Re-Examination of Masses and Mass Proxies
Felipe Andrade-Santos, Gabriel W. Pratt, Jean-Baptiste Melin +14
Using Chandra observations, we derive the proxy and associated total mass measurement, , for 147 clusters with from the Planck Early Su…
Ultra-Steep Spectrum Radio `Jellyfish' Uncovered in Abell 2877
Torrance Hodgson, Iacopo Bartalucci, Melanie Johnston-Hollitt +3
We report on the discovery of a mysterious ultra-steep spectrum (USS) synchrotron source in the galaxy cluster Abell 2877. We have observed the source with the Murchison Widefield…
Analysis of the unconcentrated background of the EPIC-pn camera on board XMM-Newton
Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi, Mariachiara Rossetti +8
Our understanding of the background of the EPIC/pn camera onboard XMM-Newton is incomplete. This affects the study of extended sources and can influence the predictions of the back…
Iron in X-COP: tracing enrichment in cluster outskirts with high accuracy abundance profiles
Simona Ghizzardi, Silvano Molendi, Remco van der Burg +11
We present the first metal abundance profiles for a representative sample of massive clusters. Our measures extend to and are corrected for a systematic error plaguing pr…
LoCuSS: Hydrostatic Mass Measurements of the High- Cluster Sample -- Cross-calibration of Chandra and XMM-Newton
Rossella Martino, Pasquale Mazzotta, Hervé Bourdin +5
We present a consistent analysis of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of an approximately mass-selected sample of 50 galaxy clusters at -- the "LoCuSS High- Sam…
Chandra ACIS-I particle background: an analytical model
Iacopo Bartalucci, Pasquale Mazzotta, Hervé Bourdin +1
Aims: Imaging and spectroscopy of X-ray extended sources require a proper characterisation of a spatially unresolved background signal. This background includes sky and instrumenta…
