Diffuse radio emission from galaxy clusters
In a growing number of galaxy clusters diffuse extended radio sources have been found.
These sources are not directly associated with individual cluster galaxies. The radio …

Towards precision measurements of accreting black holes using X-ray reflection spectroscopy
Relativistic reflection features are commonly observed in the X-ray spectra of accreting black
holes. In the presence of high quality data and with the correct astrophysical model, X-ray …

X-ray metal line emission from the hot circumgalactic medium: probing the effects of supermassive black hole feedback
We derive predictions from state-of-the-art cosmological galaxy simulations for the spatial
distribution of the hot circumgalactic medium (CGM,[0.1–1] R 200c) through its emission …
