The X-ray sky opens to the world 

Today, the German eROSITA consortium released the data for its share of the first all-sky survey by the soft X-ray imaging telescope flying aboard the Spectrum-RG (SRG) satellite. With about 900 000 distinct sources, the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS1) catalogue has yielded the largest X-ray catalogue ever published. Along with the data, the consortium released today a series of scientific papers describing new results ranging from studies of the habitability of planets to the discovery of the largest cosmic structures. Based on just the first six months of observations, eROSITA has already detected more sources than had previously been known in the 60-year history of X-ray astronomy. Now available to the worldwide science community, the data will revolutionise our knowledge of the Universe at high energies.

Less than 24 hours until #erositadr1, the first data release of the #eROSITA #xray #spacetelescope!
With ~ 900.000 distinct sources, the first #AllSkySurvey #eRASS1 has yielded the largest X-ray catalogue ever! Get ready for supermassive #blackholes, X-ray emitting stars in our #Milkyway, clusters of galaxies, X-ray emitting #BinaryStars, #SupernovaRemnants, #Pulsars, and other objects - And about 50 new publications from the German eROSITA consortium!

Hoinga – the largest supernova remnant ever discovered with X-rays

Astronomen des Max-Planck-Instituts für extraterrestrische Physik haben mit dem deutschen Röntgenteleskop eROSITA einen riesigen, bisher unbekannten Supernova-Überrest aufgespürt. Mit einem Durchmesser vom mehreren Grad überrascht nicht nur seine Größe, sondern auch seine Position am Himmel: Das „Hoinga“ getaufte Objekt befindet sich weit außerhalb der galaktischen Ebene – dort, wo offenbar bisher kaum jemand nach den Überresten explodierter Sterne gesucht hat. Die Entdeckung wurde durch Daten früherer Beobachtungen im Radiobereich unabhängig bestätigt. Und es ist der erste Fund im Rahmen einer Partnerschaft mit australischen Forscherinnen, deren Ziel die Durchmusterung unserer Milchstraße bei verschiedenen Wellenlängen ist.
