A Deep X-Ray Look At Abell 2142 --- Viscosity Constraints From Kelvin-Helmholtz Eddies, A Displaced Cool Peak That Makes A Warm Core, And A Possible Plasma Depletion Layer
Qian Wang, Maxim Markevitch
We analyzed 200 ks of Chandra ACIS observations of the merging galaxy cluster A2142 to examine its prominent cold fronts in detail. We find that the southern cold front exhibits we…
Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrom…
SKA-Athena Synergy White Paper
R. Cassano, R. Fender, C. Ferrari +35
The Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena) is the X-ray observatory large mission selected by the European Space Agency (ESA), within its Cosmic Vision 2015-2025…
Hitomi X-ray Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula G21.50.9
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +194
We present results from the Hitomi X-ray observation of a young composite-type supernova remnant (SNR) G21.50.9, whose emission is dominated by the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) cont…
Bow shock in merging cluster A520: the edge of the radio halo and the electron-ion equilibration timescale
Qian Wang, Simona Giacintucci, Maxim Markevitch
We studied the prominent bow shock in the merging galaxy cluster A520 using a deep Chandra X-ray observation and archival VLA radio data. This shock is a useful diagnostic tool, ow…
