X-ray luminous late-type giants: an overlooked population contributing to the Galactic ridge iron line emission
Tong Bao, Gabriele Ponti, Xiao-jie Xu +8
The origin of the highly ionized iron emission (Fe XXV at ) characterizing the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) remains a fundamental puzzle in high-energy a…
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…
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…
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…
Retrieving the hot circumgalactic medium physics from the X-ray radial profile from eROSITA with an IlustrisTNG-based forward model
Soumya Shreeram, Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni +9
Recent eROSITA measurements of the radial profiles of the hot CGM in the Milky-Way stellar mass (MW-mass) regime provide us with a new benchmark to constrain the hot gas around MW-…
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…
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…
Discovery of the Goat Horn complex: a deg diffuse X-ray source connected to radio loop XII
Nicola Locatelli, Gabriele Ponti, Andrea Merloni +7
A dozen of patches of polarized radio emission spanning tens of degrees in the form of coherent and stationary loops are observed at radio frequencies across the sky. Their origin…
The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey: First X-ray catalogues and data release of the western Galactic hemisphere
A. Merloni, G. Lamer, T. Liu +142
The eROSITA telescope array aboard the Spektrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite began surveying the sky in December 2019, with the aim of producing all-sky X-ray source lists and sk…
eROSITA narrowband maps at the energies of soft X-ray emission lines
Xueying Zheng, Gabriele Ponti, Nicola Locatelli +10
[abridged] Hot plasma plays a crucial role in regulating the baryon cycle within the Milky Way, flowing from the energetic sources in the Galactic center and disc, to the corona an…
The hot circumgalactic medium in the eROSITA All-Sky Survey II. Scaling relations between X-ray luminosity and galaxies' mass
Yi Zhang, Johan Comparat, Gabriele Ponti +16
Understanding how the properties of galaxies relate to the properties of the hot circum-galactic medium (CGM) around them can constrain galaxy evolution models. We measured the X-r…
The hot circumgalactic medium in the eROSITA All-Sky Survey I. X-ray surface brightness profiles
Yi Zhang, Johan Comparat, Gabriele Ponti +17
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) provides the material needed for galaxy formation and influences galaxy evolution. The hot () CGM is poorly detected around galaxies with s…
Broadband maps of eROSITA and their comparison with the ROSAT survey
Xueying Zheng, Gabriele Ponti, Michael Freyberg +13
By June of 2020, the extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma observatory had completed its first of the planned eigh…
