Unveiling the Hot Interstellar Medium in Nearby Galaxies with eROSITA
Roman Laktionov, Manami Sasaki, Elias Kyritsis +9
Diffuse X-ray emission in galaxies originates from stellar-feedback-heated gas and unresolved compact sources. We investigate its thermal component and the scaling of X-ray luminos…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the first eROSITA survey I. Candidate catalogs
P. Weber, T. P. Roberts, S. Hämmerich +28
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are luminous non-nuclear X-ray point sources embedded in galaxies. Their luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s potentially require sub-Eddington acc…
Pulse profiles of accreting neutron stars - A review of analysis methods, observations, and theoretical models
Katja Pottschmidt, Peter Kretschmar, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa +25
X-ray pulsars are highly magnetized ( G) neutron stars accreting from a donor star. Their characteristic X-ray emission arises from accreted material decelerated fro…
4U 1538-52 in a Heartbeat: Broadband X-ray Spectral Properties from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, A. -L. Doherty +8
Galactic high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are important systems for studying accretion mechanisms onto compact objects and for investigating the complex stellar winds of massive st…
The low luminosity end of Galactic HMXBs with eROSITA: Establishing a luminosity floor for accreting BeXRBs
Aafia Zainab, Philipp Thalhammer, Nico Zalot +18
We present a first look at the Galactic population of heretofore known HMXBs as observed by SRG/eROSITA during its first four surveys. eROSITA's sensitivity of $\sim10^{-13}\,\math…
A simple relation: Neutron star magnetic field strength and spectral shape at low mass accretion rates
Nicolas Zalot, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Aafia Zainab +8
The X-ray spectra of neutron stars with moderate magnetic fields ( G) in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) at low X-ray luminosities ( e…
Flux variability of the "10 keV feature" of 4U 0115+63
Katrin Berger, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Ralf Ballhausen +14
X-ray spectra of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars can often be described using a power-law continuum with a high-energy cutoff, which might be further modified by additional spectra…
BlazEr1: The eROSITA Blazar Catalog. Blazars and Blazar Candidates in the First eROSITA Survey
S. Haemmerich, A. Gokus, F. McBride +28
Aims. eROSITA, on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft, performed its first X-ray all-sky survey (eRASS1) between December 2019 and June 2020. It detected about 93000…
XMM-Newton follow-up of two eROSITA X-ray binary candidates
A. Avakyan, A. Zainab, V. Doroshenko +6
We report on the follow-up observations with XMM-Newton of two X-ray binary candidates identified in the first eROSITA all-sky survey data (eRASS1), 1eRASS J061330.8+160440 and 1eR…
Multiwavelength study of 1eRASS J085039.9-421151 with eROSITA NuSTAR and X-shooter
Aafia Zainab, Artur Avakyan, Victor Doroshenko +23
The eROSITA instrument on board Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma has completed four scans of the X-ray sky, leading to the detection of almost one million X-ray sources in eRASS1 only, incl…
eROSITA (eRASS1) study of the Canis Major overdensity: Developing a multi-wavelength algorithm for classifying faint X-ray sources
Sara Saeedi, Manami Sasaki, Jonathan Knies +6
Using the data of eROSITA (extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) on board Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (Spektr-RG, SRG) taken during the first eROSITA all-sky survey…
The giant outburst of EXO 2030+375 I: Spectral and pulse profile evolution
P. Thalhammer, R. Ballhausen, E. Sokolova-Lapa +12
The Be X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 went through its third recorded giant outburst from June 2021 to early 2022. We present the results of both spectral and timing analysis based on N…
An in-depth analysis of the variable cyclotron lines in GX 3012
Nicolas Zalot, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Jakob Stierhof +13
Context. The High-Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) system GX 3012 is a persistent source with a well-known variable cyclotron line centered at 35 keV. Recently, a second cyclotron line…
SRG/eROSITA 3D mapping of the ISM using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
E. Gatuzz, J. Wilms, A. Zainab +6
We present a detailed study of the hydrogen density distribution in the local interstellar medium (ISM) using the X-ray absorption technique. Hydrogen column densities were precise…
