An X-ray Extremely wide-field Spectroscopic Surveyor (XESS, or "chess")
W. P. Maksym, M. Ulmer, S. Friedrich +20
We propose an X-ray observatory, the X-ray Extremely wide-field Spectroscopic Surveyor (XESS, pronounced "Chess") to bring high energy resolution X-ray spectroscopy into the era of…
Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group: Final Report
Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group, Simon R. Bandler, Laura W. Brenneman +51
The Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group (SAG) was convened to reassess the scientific goals and technical drivers of the Lynx mission concept amid a rapidly evolving astrophysics lands…
Ardua: Unveiling the Baryon Cycle from Stars to the Cosmic Web
Carlos J. Vargas, Caroline Kilbourne, Haeun Chung +29
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) -- the multiphase gas reservoirs surrounding galaxies -- remains the least understood component of the baryon cycle governing galaxy growth, despite…
Braginskii Viscosity in Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Clusters: Implementation, Validation, and First Application
Tirso Marin-Gilabert, Ulrich P. Steinwandel, Milena Valentini +2
We present the implementation of an anisotropic viscosity solver within the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) framework of the TreeSPH code OpenGadget3. The solver models anisotropic visc…
Gas clumping in the outskirts of galaxy clusters, an assessment of the sensitivity of STAR-X
Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, John A. ZuHone +3
In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for thi…
Line Emission Mapper (LEM): Probing the physics of cosmic ecosystems
Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne +107
The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe's structure formation. It will also provide transformative…
