Athena+: The first Deep Universe X-ray Observatory
D. Barret, K. Nandra, X. Barcons +31
The Advanced Telescope for High-energy Astrophysics (Athena+) is being proposed to ESA as the L2 mission (for a launch in 2028) and is specifically designed to answer two of the mo…
The NuSTAR Extragalactic Survey: A First Sensitive Look at the High-Energy Cosmic X-ray Background Population
D. M. Alexander, D. Stern, A. Del Moro +31
We report on the first ten identifications of sources serendipitously detected by the NuSTAR to provide the first sensitive census of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) source popul…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: Understanding the build-up of supermassive black holes and galaxies at the heyday of the Universe
A. Georgakakis, F. Carrera, G. Lanzuisi +19
Observations in the last decade have provided strong evidence that the growth of supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies is among the most influential processes in gala…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: The formation and growth of the earliest supermassive black holes
James Aird, Andrea Comastri, Marcella Brusa +18
A crucial challenge in astrophysics over the coming decades will be to understand the origins of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that lie at the centres of most, if not all, galax…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
