Magnetic shielding of soft protons in future X-ray telescopes: the case of the ATHENA Wide Field Imager
Valentina Fioretti, Andrea Bulgarelli, Silvano Molendi +10
Both the interplanetary space and the Earth magnetosphere are populated by low energy ( keV) protons that are potentially able to scatter on the reflecting surface of Wolt…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +100
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of the ESA Athena X-ray observatory. Over a field of view of 5' equivalent diameter, it will deliver…
Reproducibility and monitoring of the instrumental particle background for the X-Ray Integral Field Unit
Edoardo Cucchetti, Etienne Pointecouteau, Didier Barret +7
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the cryogenic imaging spectrometer on board the future X-ray observatory \textsl{Athena}. With a hexagonal array of 3840 AC-biased Transiti…
Universal thermodynamic properties of the intracluster medium over two decades in radius in the X-COP sample
V. Ghirardini, D. Eckert, S. Ettori +10
The hot plasma in galaxy clusters is expected to be heated to high temperatures through shocks and adiabatic compression. The thermodynamical properties of the gas encode informati…
Non-thermal pressure support in X-COP galaxy clusters
D. Eckert, V. Ghirardini, S. Ettori +13
Galaxy clusters are the endpoints of structure formation and are continuously growing through the merging and accretion of smaller structures. Numerical simulations predict that a…
