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 systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy using MACER II: predictions of X-ray surface brightness profiles and comparison with eROSITA observations
Yuxuan Zou, Feng Yuan, Suoqing Ji +6
Recently, we have performed a systematic study of AGN feedback in a disk galaxy within the MACER framework. Various model predictions, including the AGN duty cycle, the correlation…
The average X-ray spectrum of the volume-complete M-, F-, G-, and K-type star sample within 10 pc of the Sun
Xueying Zheng, Gabriele Ponti, Nicola Locatelli +15
F, G, K and M type stars are the most abundant stellar population in the Milky Way and are expected to contribute to its diffuse X-ray emission. Yet their intrinsic average X-ray s…
Retrieving the hot circumgalactic medium physics from the X-ray radial profile from eROSITA with an IlustrisTNG-based forward model
Soumya Shreeram, Johan Comparat, Andrea Merloni +9
Recent eROSITA measurements of the radial profiles of the hot CGM in the Milky-Way stellar mass (MW-mass) regime provide us with a new benchmark to constrain the hot gas around MW-…
On the baryon budget in the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Yi Zhang, Soumya Shreeram, Gabriele Ponti +6
Recent observations with SRG/eROSITA have revealed the average X-ray surface brightness profile of the X-ray-emitting circumgalactic medium (CGM) around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxie…
Introducing the Descriptive Parametric Model: Gaseous Profiles for Galaxies, Groups, and Clusters
Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, G. Mark Voit, Yannick M. Bahé +14
We develop and present the Descriptive Parametric Model (DPM), a tool for generating profiles of gaseous halos (pressure, electron density, and metallicity) as functions of radius,…
