The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey, view of the Fornax galaxy cluster

Prof. Dr. Thomas Reiprich, Lecture, conference on GALAXY GROUPS IN THE ERA OF EROSITA AND EUCLID: A MULTIWAVELENGTH VIEW, Sesto, Italy:

The Fornax cluster is one of the most nearby X-ray bright galaxy groups. Its proximity allows us to study its properties at high spatial resolution. We exploit the essentially unlimited field-of-view of five eROSITA all-sky surveys to study the Fornax cluster from kpc to Mpc scale, tracing the intracluster medium out to beyond the virial radius. We interpret the observations in combination with the distribution of globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and HI-tail galaxies.
