Twenty-five years of XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 Unfocused Particle Background: Solar Cycle Modulation, Galactic Cosmic-Ray Correlation, and Implications for NewAthena
B. Vaia, F. Gastaldello, S. Molendi +13
We present a study of the unfocused particle-induced background measured by the XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 detector, extending previous analyses to the end of 2025 and covering approxima…
XRISM reveals sloshing-driven gas motions in the core of Abell 2029
Yuusuke Uchida, Yuna Saito, Naomi Ota +13
We investigate the velocity structure of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the core of the relaxed cool-core cluster Abell 2029 using XRISM Resolve spectroscopy. We analyze combined…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
XRISM Reveals Complex Multi-Temperature Structures in the Abell 2029 Galaxy Cluster
Arnab Sarkar, Eric Miller, Naomi Ota +9
We present 500 ks XRISM observations covering the central and two northern regions of the Abell 2029 galaxy cluster. Resolve enables us to distinguish multiple emission lines…
PSZ2 G181.06+48.47 I: X-ray exploration of a low-mass cluster with exceptionally-distant radio relics
Andra Stroe, Kamlesh Rajpurohit, Zhenlin Zhu +13
Relics are diffuse, highly-polarized radio sources that trace merger-driven shocks at the periphery of merging galaxy clusters. The LOFAR survey recently discovered a rare example…
The discovery of radio halos in the Frontier Fields clusters Abell S1063 and Abell 370
C. Xie, R. J. van Weeren, L. Lovisari +13
Massive merging galaxy clusters often host diffuse Mpc-scale radio synchrotron emission. This emission originates from relativistic electrons in the ionized intracluster medium (IC…
Stormy weather in 3C 196.1: nuclear outbursts and merger events shape the environment of the hybrid radio galaxy 3C 196.1
F. Ricci, L. Lovisari, R. P. Kraft +8
We present a multi-wavelength analysis based on archival radio, optical and X-ray data of the complex radio source 3C 196.1, whose host is the brightest cluster galaxy of a $z=0.19…
iPTF15eqv: Multi-wavelength Exposé of a Peculiar Calcium-rich Transient
D. Milisavljevic, D. Patnaude, J. Raymond +15
The progenitor systems of the class of "Ca-rich transients" is a key open issue in time domain astrophysics. These intriguing objects exhibit unusually strong calcium line emission…
Abundance and temperature distributions in the hot intra-cluster gas of Abell 4059
François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Lorenzo Lovisari +5
Using the EPIC and RGS data from a deep (~200 ks) XMM-Newton observation, we investigate the temperature structure (kT and sigma_T ) and the abundances of 9 elements (O, Ne, Mg, Si…
The radio relic in Abell 2256: overall spectrum and implications for electron acceleration
M. Trasatti, H. Akamatsu, L. Lovisari +5
The galaxy cluster Abell 2256 hosts one of the most intriguing examples in the class of radio relics. It has been found that this radio relic has a rather flat integrated spectrum…
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…
