Delving into the depths of NGC 3783 with XRISM II. Cross-calibration of X-ray instruments used in the large, multi-mission observational campaign

XRISM collaboration

Accurate X-ray spectroscopic measurements are fundamental for deriving basic physical parameters of the most abundant baryon components in the Universe. The plethora of X-ray obser…

Can Chandra resolve the remaining cosmic X-ray background?

Ryan C. Hickox, Maxim Markevitch

The deepest extragalactic X-ray observation, the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field North (CDF-N), resolves ~80% of the total extragalactic cosmic X-ray background (CXB) in the 1-2 keV band.…

Absolute measurement of the unresolved cosmic X-ray background in the 0.5-8 keV band with Chandra

Ryan C. Hickox, Maxim Markevitch

We present the absolute measurement of the unresolved 0.5-8 keV cosmic X-ray background (CXB) in the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs) North and South, the longest observations with Chand…

Chandra Temperature Maps for Galaxy Clusters with Radio Halos

F. Govoni, M. Markevitch, A. Vikhlinin +3

We analyze Chandra temperature maps for a sample of clusters with high quality radio halo data, to study the origin of the radio halos. The sample includes A520, A665, A754, A773,…

Merger shocks in galaxy clusters A665 and A2163 and their relation to radio halos

M. Markevitch, A. Vikhlinin

We present Chandra gas temperature maps for two hot, intermediate-redshift clusters A665 and A2163. Both show strong temperature variations in their central r=1 Mpc regions, natura…

Chandra X-ray Observations of the Hydra A Cluster: An Interaction Between the Radio Source and the X-Ray-Emitting Gas

B. R. McNamara, M. Wise, P. E. J. Nulsen +8

We present Chandra X-ray Observations of the Hydra A cluster of galaxies, and we report the discovery of structure in the central 80 kpc of the cluster's X-ray-emitting gas. The mo…
