It's time to follow the good old tradition of trying to spot your colleagues in our official #Athena2022 conference picture 🤩

Very exciting to have eROSITA Early data release data accessible from #ESASky! sky.esa.int/esasky/?target… More details here: esdcnews.esac.esa.int/news/2022-12/#…

MPE PR: after initially appearing as a 'standard' X-ray bright TDE candidate in September 2020, J0456 showed a wild, extreme evolution of its X-ray lightcurve in the extensive follow-up campaign! mpe.mpg.de/7919825/news20…

eROSITA discovers a new Be X-ray binary pulsar eRASSU J012422.9-724248 near the Eastern wing of the SMC 🎉 more details here eROSITA @MPE_Garching astronomerstelegram.org/?read=15886

Thank you State Bank of India CGM (Kolkata Circle), SBI , Hiland park branch for the excellent service today!

📢 A User Meet of XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) - India's pioneering polarimetry mission - is arranged on May 25, 2023. Watch it live streamed on facebook.com/ISRO and isro.gov.in from 10 am IST to know how to use the expected outcome of XPoSat to

Tomorrow, june 29, #MPE #PhDstudent Catarina is giving a public science talk at 15x4Munich - Science Communication. So if you're living in #Munich and want to learn something about #blackholes or "#neuroscience of art" (there is a second talk by Garyfallia Gouna 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈), register here: tinyurl.com/bddabsmr

2023 promises to be a milestone year for Indian Space missions, astronomy and ISRO. Stay tuned for X-Ray Polarimeter which will carry the Raman Research Institute-designed and built X-ray polarimeter POLIX aboard ISRO- XPoSAT. nature.com/articles/d4415…

This is NOT “first light,” and is not from a celestial source. This is the on-orbit spectrum of the onboard Fe-55 cal source illuminating the full XRISM Resolve array, showing a resolution of ~4.4 eV. First science results to come in late 2023/early 2024!

So excited to have a Large Programme accepted this time 🎉. Looking forward to mapping the source population of the Magellanic bridge and understanding the interaction between our nearest star-forming neighbours.

In the next weeks, we will deepdive into some publications which had been published during eROSITA first Data Release #eROSITAdr1. #MPE scientist Chandreyee Maitra leads data processing of #eROSITA and is interested in binary stellar systems in the Large Magellanic Cloud 1/4

XPoSat Mission: POLIX is now set for active observation. The pulse profile of the Crab pulsar generated from its observations validated the functionality. POLIX was designed and developed by Raman Research Institute, indigenously, with able support from the industry. #XPOSAT

Apparently the neutron star inside SN87a has been identified using JWST data !

.ESA Gaia does it again! What an amazing mission!
