Stunning insights of the inner workings of quasars! Using #eROSITA #Spacetelescope🛰, the study published in @royalastrosoc & led by Elias Kammoun from IRAP France and #MPE #PhDstudent Zsofi Igo suggests significant changes in the #XRay emission of #quasar #J1144, the most luminous quasar seen in the last 9 billion years of #CosmicHistory.

At #HEAD20, K. Nandra says that #eROSITA is awaiting legal clarification if it could exit safe mode and resume survey operations. Had gotten clearance a few months ago to restart but a new EU sanctions package now requires that process to restart.

Helium-burning white dwarf:
Using #ESA_XMM and #eROSITA #spacetelescope, a team lead by #MPE researchers discovered a #binarystar🌟🌟, where material flows onto a #WhiteDwarf, but instead of #hydrogen, the material is #helium, making it the first helium-burning white dwarf ever discovered!

Astronomie: Schwarzes Loch verschlingt gleichen Stern in mehreren Etappen

Einem Forschungsteam ist eine besondere spektakuläre Entdeckung gefunden: Ein Schwarzes Loch, das einem Stern mehrfach Teile entreißt, ohne ihn zu verschlingen.

🍽Bon Appetit! 🍽
In the #eROSITA all-sky survey, a group of #MPE researchers have found a X-Ray flare which repeats every 220 days, indicating that a star orbiting the central #BlackHole “feeds” the gravity monster on subsequent orbits.

Our deepest view of the X-ray sky: The #eROSITA telescope has provided a new, sharp view of hot and energetic processes across the Universe http://www.mpe.mpg.de/7461761/news20200619

#astronomy #astrophysics The Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has published an X-ray universe map obtained thanks to the #eROSITA instrument, which the institute built for the Spektr-RG space telescope. This map includes about a million objects related to the hot and energetic part of the universe.

Please please put the skies back together after tearing them apart, they’re fragile things really and we want to study and explore them more, thank you!
