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…

CHEX-MATE: X-ray surface brightness discontinuities across a representative cluster sample

Maria Giulia Campitiello, Stefano Ettori, Lorenzo Lovisari +20

We analyze the presence of X-ray surface brightness (SB) discontinuities, such as shocks and cold fronts, in the intracluster medium (ICM) of the 116 galaxy clusters from the CHEX-…

eROSITA cosmology with galaxy groups: Hot gas budget out to the virial radius

H. Khalil, A. Finoguenov, D. Eckert +4

Non-gravitational processes that expel hot gas beyond the virial regions of groups and clusters of galaxies, known collectively as baryonic feedback, play a key role in reshaping t…

A "MeerKAT-meets-LOFAR" Study of 2A 0335+096: Discovery of a Complex 500 kpc Radio Halo in a Disturbed Cool-Core Cluster

C. J. Riseley, R. J. van Weeren, L. Lovisari +9

The emerging picture of radio haloes and mini-haloes in galaxy clusters is more blurred and far less distinct than once thought. While both trace cosmic ray electrons and magnetic…

Large eROSITA X-ray sources as 2MRS galaxy groups

A. Finoguenov, R. Seppi, D. Eckert +5

We aim to exploit the large area coverage, good sensitivity, and low instrumental background of eROSITA to detect the faint surface brightness emission of galaxy groups from the Tw…

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…

CHEX-MATE: AMALGAM weak-lensing analysis of 41 Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-selected galaxy clusters

Keiichi Umetsu, Raphael Gavazzi, Mauro Sereno +20

We present a weak-lensing shear analysis of 41 Planck SZ-selected galaxy clusters at from the CHEX-MATE sample, using wide-field Subaru/Suprime-Cam and CFHT/Meg…

The dynamics of the Anglerfish cluster

B. Destefanis, M. Balboni, I. Bartalucci +8

Merging galaxy clusters represent the ideal laboratory to test our understanding of the large scale structure formation history and the processes involved. While many merging clust…

Bound or blown: the fate of hot gas in galaxy groups

R. Seppi, D. Eckert, J. Schaye +14

The impact of AGN feedback on the hot gas content of galaxy groups remains a key uncertainty in galaxy formation and its connection to the large scale structure of the Universe. We…

CHEX-MATE: Are we getting cluster thermodynamics right?

R. Seppi, D. Eckert, E. Rasia +19

Galaxy clusters offer powerful insights into the large-scale structure of the Universe and the physics of baryons in hot state. Their scientific exploitation, however, hinges on ou…

Mechanisms Affecting Galaxies Nearby and Environmental Trends (MAGNET)

Benedetta Vulcani, Gabriella De Lucia, Daria Zakharova +28

[ABRIDGED] Galaxy evolution is shaped by internal and external mechanisms that regulate the baryon cycle and star formation activity. We present a theoretical framework based on th…

The stellar-to-halo mass relation of central galaxies across three orders of halo mass

Victoria Toptun, Paola Popesso, Ilaria Marini +9

The stellar content of galaxies is tightly connected to the mass and growth of their host dark matter halos. Observational constraints on this relation remain limited, particularly…

CHEX-MATE: Relationship between X-ray and millimetre inferences of galaxy cluster temperature profiles

F. De Luca, H. Bourdin, P. Mazzotta +25

Thermodynamic profiles from X-ray and millimetre observations of galaxy clusters are often compared under the simplifying assumptions of smooth, spherically symmetric intracluster…
