Analysis of the unconcentrated background of the EPIC-pn camera on board XMM-Newton
Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi, Mariachiara Rossetti +8
Our understanding of the background of the EPIC/pn camera onboard XMM-Newton is incomplete. This affects the study of extended sources and can influence the predictions of the back…
Reducing the Athena WFI charged particle background: Results from Geant4 simulations
Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz +9
One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of galaxies and…
The Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton: Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of structure formation. I. Programme overview
MATE Collaboration, M. Arnaud, S. Ettori +66
The Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton - Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of structure formation (CHEX-MATE) is a three mega-second Multi-Year Heritage Progra…
Iron in X-COP: tracing enrichment in cluster outskirts with high accuracy abundance profiles
Simona Ghizzardi, Silvano Molendi, Remco van der Burg +11
We present the first metal abundance profiles for a representative sample of massive clusters. Our measures extend to and are corrected for a systematic error plaguing pr…
Soft proton scattering at grazing incidence from X-ray mirrors: analysis of experimental data in the framework of the non-elastic approximation
R. Amato, T. Mineo, A. D'Aì +9
Astronomical X-ray observatories with grazing incidence optics face the problem of pseudo-focusing of low energy protons from the mirrors towards the focal plane. Those protons con…
