The most meaningful Valentine's Day ever for the eROSITA consortium 💕 Today, catalogs of more than 12,000 clusters of galaxies and the cosmology results they enabled were released. 🧵 mpe.mpg.de/7999333/news24… [1/14]

I cannot close this thread without mentioning the tightest constraints on the blackhole feedback in eROSITA-discovered galaxy groups by my graduate student Emre Bahar, released two weeks ago. [13/14] arxiv.org/abs/2401.17276

For the eROSITA clusters and cosmology splash, I've made a video showing the catalogue and some well-known clusters of galaxies as seen in the eROSITA X-ray sky youtu.be/2gKMvs4yZ_s?si…

Esra Bulbul, leader of the #MPE #Cluster & #Cosmology Group, who just released their catalogs & results in the eROSITA #CosmologySplash, was featured as #PhysikerinDerWoche by Physikerinnen! The photo shows here in front of a model of the #eROSITA #xray #spacetelescope.

Belated paper day on continued NICER+XMM monitoring of eRO-QPE1, a rare source of X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs). The QPE properties show remarkable (confounding!) evolution, and we compare them to features of extreme mass-ratio inspiral models. arxiv.org/abs/2402.08722

Fantastic work by Joheen Chakraborty! eRO-QPE1 has evolved and its eruptions are now close to the detection limit, will it rise up again?

Paper day! Excited to share my recently accepted paper about the incidence of radio and X-ray AGN as functions of mass-scaled power indicators! arxiv.org/abs/2402.16943 🧵

A fresh batch of galaxy cluster data from the eRosita X-ray telescope has eased a much-discussed discrepancy with the standard model of cosmology. Liz Kruesi reports: quantamagazine.org/fresh-x-rays-r…

3 more years for the research unit eRO-STEP! 🥳eROSITA FAU Erlangen-Nbg AIP @MPE_Garching Universität Tübingen Universität Hamburg Thank you DFG!

📢Paper day📢 We computed the intrinsic volumetric rates of X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions: it turns out that, at any time, 1 galaxy every (roughly) 30000 out there is emitting QPEs! A 🧵 arxiv.org/pdf/2403.17059…

Just a reminder that the deadline for abstracts for the first international eROSITA conference in September is tomorrow (31st May): events.mpe.mpg.de/event/15/

Another paper of ours appeared on arxiv today. eROSITA all-sky survey. X-ray emission from the warm-hot phase gas in long cosmic filaments led by X. Zhang w Thomas Reiprich Sven Krippendorf Esra Bulbul Jeremy Sanders Emre Bahar Angie Veronica et al. arxiv.org/abs/2406.00105

My European Research Council (ERC) team continues to amaze! Significant X-ray detection from long cosmic filaments and from warm hot intergalactic medium. This time by postdoc Xiaoyuan Zhang 😎 For more details see arxiv.org/abs/2406.00105

eROSITA DR1 maps and catalogues are now available in ESASky! sky.esa.int/esasky/
