We released today on arXiv.org the work we have all been preparing for a while now, to showcase the amazing science @HEXP_Future will accomplish. Shout out to all team members for this tremendous work! I had the pleasure to lead the paper on coronal physics arxiv.org/abs/2311.04679

It's Paper Day! 🎉 In a series of articles out on arXiv.org today, we showcase all the exciting X-ray science enabled by @HEXP_Future 🧵 arxiv.org/search/advance…

It is time to pick the newest "Astro Plot of the Week"! Pick one: - Plot from Sarbadhicary et. al. (arxiv.org/abs/2410.11821) - Plot from Boorman et al. (arxiv.org/abs/2410.07339) Poll (below) is open for two days - vote!

It was close, but we have the newest "Astro Plot of the Week" - congratulations! And keep them coming - astro plots are the spookiest!

Could our universe be filled with hidden black holes that we've not spotted before? Our academics have been working with NASA – and what they found is out of this world. Read more 👉 brnw.ch/UoS_News_space…
