Refactoring the SIXTE simulator: Towards a more modular code base
Christian Kirsch, Maximilian Lorenz, Lea Dauner +7
The SIXTE (SImulation of X-ray TElescopes) software is a general end-to-end simulation toolkit for X-ray observations, covering the full observation process from source photon gene…
X-ray grating spectroscopy as a mission enhancement
Hans Moritz Guenther, Ehud Behar, Joel N. Bregman +27
We propose to add instruments to any potential future X-ray mission with focussing optics that is considered in NASA's ASTRA framework. Such an instrument is a necessity to study A…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the first eROSITA survey I. Candidate catalogs
P. Weber, T. P. Roberts, S. Hämmerich +28
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are luminous non-nuclear X-ray point sources embedded in galaxies. Their luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s potentially require sub-Eddington acc…
X-ray Reflection as Diagnostic of Supermassive Black Hole Binary Properties
Julie Malewicz, Tamara Bogdanović, David R. Ballantyne +2
We investigate correlations between prominent features in the relativistic X-ray reflection spectrum emitted by an accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary with the underlyi…
Future Detections of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium using Bright Power Law Sources with NewAthena
Joseph Fisher, Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Thomas Dauser +3
Context. Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations based on the -Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model predict that 40% of the baryons in the local Universe are missing. These mis…
Systematic assessment of disk truncation in the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 using NICER
Ole König, James F. Steiner, Niek Bollemeijer +20
The 2023/24 NICER monitoring campaign of the 7 Crab bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 covered the outburst in almost all accretion states. High-quality data are ava…
