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…
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…
eROSITA X-ray Analysis of the PeVatron Candidate Westerlund 1
Konstantin Haubner, Manami Sasaki, Alison Mitchell +7
It is unclear which fraction of cosmic rays above an energy of 1 PeV is accelerated by the observed Galactic PeVatron population. These sources' gamma-ray data is typically degener…
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…
