CHEERS: Future perspectives for abundance measurements in clusters with XMM-Newton
J. de Plaa, F. Mernier
The CHEERS (CHEmical Enrichment RGS Sample) observations of clusters of galaxies with XMM-Newton have shown to be valuable to constrain the chemical evolution of the universe. The…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU)
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +88
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics (Athena) will provide spatially resolved high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy from…
Origin of central abundances in the hot intra-cluster medium - II. Chemical enrichment and supernova yield models
François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Ciro Pinto +7
The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) is rich in metals, which are synthesised by supernovae (SNe) and accumulate over time into the deep gravitational potential well of clusters of g…
and observations of a newly-discovered early-stage cluster merger 1E2216.0-0401 and 1E2215.7-0404
H. Akamatsu, L. Gu, T. W. Shimwell +6
We present the results of and X-ray observations of the cluster pair 1E2216.0-0401 and 1E2215.7-0404. We discover an X-ray bridge between the clusters. $Suzak…
Hitomi constraints on the 3.5 keV line in the Perseus galaxy cluster
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix A. Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +215
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E=3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of va…
Origin of central abundances in the hot intra-cluster medium - I. Individual and average abundance ratios from XMM-Newton EPIC
François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Ciro Pinto +5
The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) is rich in metals, which are synthesized by supernovae (SNe) explosions and accumulate over time into the deep gravitational potential well of cl…
