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 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…
