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…

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…

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…
