Thermal or Non-thermal? Diffuse emission in the infall region of stacked galaxy groups

E. Bulbul, X. Zhang, Z. Ding +16

The faint infall regions surrounding the virial radius of galaxy groups remain largely unexplored due to their low X-ray surface brightness. Using the large statistical power of SR…

The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey DR2: Cumulative X-ray catalogues from the first three surveys and multi-wavelength counterparts in the western Galactic hemisphere

M. E. Ramos-Ceja, G. Lamer, M. Salvato +111

The eROSITA telescope array on board the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission began its all-sky survey program in December 2019, scanning the sky at an approximately six-month cad…

SRG/eROSITA No. 5: Discovery of quasi-periodic eruptions every ~3.7 days from a galaxy at z>0.1

R. Arcodia, P. Baldini, A. Merloni +17

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating soft X-ray bursts from the nuclei of galaxies, tantalizingly proposed to be extreme mass ratio inspirals. Here, we report the discover…

The Average Soft X-ray Spectra of eROSITA Active Galactic Nuclei

Shi-Jiang Chen, Johannes Buchner, Teng Liu +16

Context. AGNs are strong X-ray emitters shaped by disk-corona interactions. The soft excess (0.5-2.0 keV) reveals key information about the "warm corona" bridging the disk and hot…

The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey. X-ray emission from the warm-hot phase gas in long cosmic filaments

X. Zhang, E. Bulbul, N. Malavasi +24

The properties of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) in cosmic filaments are among the least quantified units in modern astrophysics. The Spectrum Roentgen Gamma/eROSITA All…

The more the merrier: SRG/eROSITA discovers two further galaxies showing X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions

R. Arcodia, Z. Liu, A. Merloni +20

X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel addition to the group of extragalactic transients. In this work, we report the discovery of two further galaxies showing QPEs, eRO…

Phase-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of PSR B0656+14 with SRG/eROSITA and XMM-Newton

Axel Schwope, Adriana M. Pires, Jan Kurpas +13

(abridged version) We present a detailed spectroscopic and timing analysis of X-ray observations of the bright radio-to-gamma-ray emitting pulsar PSR B0656+14, which were obtained…

X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from two previously quiescent galaxies

R. Arcodia, A. Merloni, K. Nandra +21

Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are extreme high-amplitude bursts of X-ray radiation recurring every few hours and originating near the central supermassive black holes in galactic…

The Hot and Energetic Universe: The evolution of galaxy groups and clusters

E. Pointecouteau, T. H. Reiprich, C. Adami +45

Major astrophysical questions related to the formation and evolution of structures, and more specifically of galaxy groups and clusters, will still be open in the coming decade and…

The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission

Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237

This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
