EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Deciphering the "Green Monster" in Cassiopeia A: Puncturing and sculpting a heterogeneous circumstellar shell
S. Orlando, H. -T. Janka, D. Milisavljevic +6
JWST observations of Cassiopeia A have revealed the "Green Monster" (GM), a pockmarked region of shocked circumstellar medium (CSM) characterized by circular holes surrounded by br…
Supernova remnants in the new radio astronomy era
A. Ingallinera, M. Arias, G. Castelletti +25
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are what is left after stellar explosions, when the stellar ejecta, the explosion shock and the circumstellar medium interact. Despite being among the fir…
Evolved massive stars and their impact on their environment
C. S. Buemi, G. Umana, C. Trigilio +15
The comprehension of the final stages of massive star evolution and their path toward the eventual supernova explosion necessarily involves the study of stellar winds and the circu…
Probing the potential high-energy messengers of the anticipated T Coronae Borealis outburst
O. Petruk, T. Kuzyo, S. Orlando +4
T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is a nearby recurrent nova expected to erupt in the near future, offering a unique opportunity to study particle acceleration and high-energy emission fr…
A New Catalogue of Galactic Red Supergiants for direct detection of episodic mass-loss events
M. Lauriano, F. Bocchino, M. Miceli +5
We present GalRSG, a new catalogue of 227 Galactic Red Supergiants in the Scutum-Crux region, which provides a nearly coeval and co-distant sample, target of a long-term, panchroma…
