Planetary Nebulae in the eROSITA eRASS1 catalog

Haoyang Yuan, Martin A. Guerrero, Quentin Parker +1

Some planetary nebulae (PNe) host X-ray-emitting hot bubbles shaped by stellar wind interactions and/or harbor X-ray-emitting central stars due to accretion, shocks within their fa…

The impact of periastron passage on the X-ray and optical properties of the Symbiotic System R Aquarii

D. A. Vásquez-Torres, J. A. Toalá, A. Sacchi +4

Multi-epoch Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the symbiotic system R Aquarii (R Aqr) spanning 22 yr are analysed by means of a reflection model produced by an accretion disc.…
