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…
Low-mass stars dominate the hot (0.7 keV) Galactic X-ray emission
G. Ponti, M. C. H. Yeung, G. Stel +12
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way is composed of a tenuous atmosphere filled with multi-phase plasma, including a warm-hot virialised component. Recent studies sugge…
On the baryon budget in the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Yi Zhang, Soumya Shreeram, Gabriele Ponti +6
Recent observations with SRG/eROSITA have revealed the average X-ray surface brightness profile of the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium (CGM) around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxie…
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…
Unveiling the soft X-ray source population towards the inner Galactic disk with XMM-Newton
Tong Bao, Gabriele Ponti, Frank Haberl +5
Across the Galactic disk lies a diverse population of X-ray sources, with the fainter end remaining poorly understood due to past survey sensitivity limits. We aim to classify and…
The X-ray luminosity function of stars observed with SRG/eROSITA
Nicola Locatelli, Gabriele Ponti, Enza Magaudda +1
Background diffuse X-ray emission is contributed in large part by the emission of point sources not individually resolved. While this is established since decades for the contribut…
Impact of the large-scale cosmic web on the X-ray emitting circumgalactic medium
Soumya Shreeram, Daniela Galárraga-Espinosa, Johan Comparat +9
The hot circumgalactic medium (CGM), probed by X-ray observations, plays a central role in understanding gas flows that drive a galaxy's evolution. While CGM properties have been w…
A sample of ionised Fe line-emitting X-ray sources in the inner Galactic disc
Samaresh Mondal, Gabriele Ponti, Tong Bao +4
Previous studies suggest that the Galactic diffuse X-ray emission is composed of unresolved point sources, primarily mCVs. However, nearby mCVs have a much lower 6.7 keV line equiv…
Disentangling the Galactic centre X-ray reflection signal using XMM-Newton data
K. Anastasopoulou, I. Khabibullin, E. Churazov +5
We investigate the X-ray emission from the Galactic Centre (GC) region, focusing on the 6.4 keV fluorescent line of neutral or weakly ionised iron, which is commonly attributed to…
The eROSITA view on the halo mass-temperature relation: From low-mass groups to massive clusters
V. Toptun, P. Popesso, I. Marini +15
Galaxy groups and clusters are among the best probes of structure formation and growth in a cosmological context. Most of their baryonic component is dominated by the intracluster…
