High-statistics simulations of NewAthena WFI background using Geant4

Matthew K. Heine, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +14

The observation of hot gas structures is one science goal of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's NewAthena X-ray observatory. Because the measurement of these faint diffuse source…

Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors

Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +17

The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena.…

The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase

Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279

The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…

Does the Fe L-shell blend bias abundance measurements in intermediate-temperature clusters?

G. Riva, S. Ghizzardi, S. Molendi +5

In intermediate-temperature (T = 2.5 - 4.5 keV) galaxy clusters, abundance measurements are almost-equally driven by Fe K and L transitions, at 6.7 keV and 0.9 - 1.3 keV, re…

Growth and disruption in the Lyra complex

S. Clavico, S. De Grandi, S. Ghizzardi +16

Nearby clusters of galaxies, z<0.1, are cosmic structures still under formation. Understanding the thermodynamic properties of merging clusters can provide crucial information on h…
