What's Missing in AGN Feedback? Lessons learnt from Magneticum, IllustrisTNG and Simba
D. T. Mazengo, P. Popesso, I. Marini +20
Accurately balancing gas reservoirs, star formation, and feedback across cosmic time remains a central challenge for galaxy formation models in modern hydrodynamical simulations. W…
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…
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…
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…
Cross-correlation between soft X-rays and galaxies A new benchmark for galaxy evolution models
Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni, Gabriele Ponti +11
This article presents the construction and validation of complete stellar mass-selected, volume-limited galaxy samples using the Legacy Survey (data release 10) galaxy catalogs, co…
The impact of assembly history on the X-ray detectability of halos. From galaxy groups to galaxy clusters
I. Marini, P. Popesso, K. Dolag +15
Galaxy groups represent a significant fraction of the halo population, playing a crucial role in galaxy formation and evolution. However, their detection in X-rays remains challeng…
Average X-ray properties of galaxy groups. From Milky Way-like halos to massive clusters
P. Popesso, I. Marini, K. Dolag +20
This study examines the average X-ray properties of massive halos at z< 0.2, covering the largest halo mass range to date, from Milky Way-like halos to massive clusters. The analys…
The hot gas mass fraction in halos. From Milky Way-like groups to massive clusters
P. Popesso, A. Biviano, I. Marini +21
By using eROSITA data in the eFEDS area, we provide a measure of the hot gas fraction vs. halo mass relation over the largest halo mass range, from Milky Way-sized halos to massive…
The perils of stacking optically selected groups in eROSITA data. The Magneticum perspective
P. Popesso, I. Marini, K. Dolag +23
Hydrodynamical simulation predictions are often compared with observational data without fully accounting for systematics and biases specific to observational techniques. Using the…
The hot circumgalactic medium in the eROSITA All-Sky Survey III. Star-forming and quiescent galaxies
Yi Zhang, Johan Comparat, Gabriele Ponti +17
The circumgalactic medium (CGM), as the gas repository for star formation, might contain the answer to the mysterious galaxy quenching and bimodal galaxy population origin. We meas…
The SRG/eROSITA diffuse soft X-ray background. I. The local hot bubble in the western Galactic hemisphere
Michael C. H. Yeung, Gabriele Ponti, Michael J. Freyberg +10
The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Surveys (eRASSs) combine the advantages of complete sky coverage and the energy resolution provided by the charge couple device and offer the most holistic…
Quantifying Observational Projection Effects with a Simulation-based hot CGM model
Soumya Shreeram, Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni +11
The hot phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) allows us to probe the inflow and outflow of gas within a galaxy, which is responsible for dictating the evolution of the galaxy. S…
A magnetised Galactic halo from inner Galaxy outflows
He-Shou Zhang, Gabriele Ponti, Ettore Carretti +12
Magnetic halos of galaxies are crucial for understanding galaxy evolution, galactic-scale outflows, and feedback from star formation activity. Identifying the magnetised halo of th…
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…
