The SRG/eROSITA diffuse soft X-ray background II. spectra and morphology of the eROSITA bubbles in the western Galactic hemisphere

Michael C. H. Yeung, Martin G. F. Mayer, Andy Strong +15

The eROSITA bubbles (eRObub) were discovered in 2020 in the first SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey, and are among the most extended structures in the X-ray sky. Using eROSITA all-sky map…

The average X-ray spectrum of the volume-complete M-, F-, G-, and K-type star sample within 10 pc of the Sun

Xueying Zheng, Gabriele Ponti, Nicola Locatelli +15

F, G, K and M type stars are the most abundant stellar population in the Milky Way and are expected to contribute to its diffuse X-ray emission. Yet their intrinsic average X-ray s…

On the origin of the X-ray emission surrounding PSR B0656+14 in the eROSITA Cal-PV data

Alena Khokhriakova, Werner Becker, Peter Predehl +3

We present a cautionary assessment of the extended X-ray emission around PSR B0656+14 in eROSITA Cal-PV data in response to the work of Niu et al. 2025 (arXiv:2501.17046). The eROS…

A look at the high energy aspects of the supernova remnant G309.8+00.0 with eROSITA and Fermi-LAT

Miltiadis Michailidis, Gerd Pühlhofer, Andrea Santangelo +2

Supernova remnant (SNR) detection along the Galactic plane poses a number of challenges. The SNR G309.8+00.0 lies exactly on the Galactic plane, with its center coinciding with gal…

Morphological Evidence for the eROSITA Bubbles Being Giant and Distant Structures

Teng Liu, Andrea Merloni, Jeremy Sanders +13

There are two contradictory views of the eROSITA bubbles: either a 10 kpc-scale pair of giant bubbles blown by the Galactic center (GC), or a 100 pc-scale local structure coinciden…

Searching for X-ray counterparts of unassociated Fermi-LAT sources and rotation-powered pulsars with SRG/eROSITA

Martin G. F. Mayer, Werner Becker

The latest source catalog of the Fermi-LAT telescope contains more than 7000 -ray sources at GeV energies, with the two dominant source classes thought to be blazars and rotatio…
