The X-ray map of the universe also revealed over 9,00,000 high-energy cosmic sources<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Scientists have unveiled the largest ever X-ray map of the universe and found over 9,00,000 high-energy cosmic sources, including more than 7,00,000 supermassive black holes<\/p>\n

The German “eROSITA” consortium on January 31 published the data collected by the eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Russian-German satellite Spektrum-RG.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first eROSITA All-Sky Survey Catalogue (eRASS1) is the largest collection of X-ray sources ever published, the Max Planck Society in Germany, which helped manage the mission, said in an official statement.<\/p>\n

“In the first six months of observation, eROSITA has already discovered more X-ray sources than have been known in the 60-year history of X-ray astronomy,” it said.<\/p>\n

The eRASS1 observations with the eROSITA telescope were carried out between December 12, 2019, and June 11, 2020.<\/p>\n

eROSITA was put in “Safe Mode” in February 2022 and has not restarted science operations since, the Max Planck Society said.<\/p>\n

Besides around 7,10,000 supermassive black holes in distant galaxies, the 9,00,000 high-energy cosmic sources also included 1,80,000 X-ray emitting stars in the Milky Way, 12,000 clusters of galaxies and a small number of other exotic classes of sources like X-ray emitting binary stars, supernova remnants, pulsars, and other objects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These are mind-blowing numbers for X-ray astronomy,” Andrea Merloni, eROSITA principal investigator, said.<\/p>\n

“We’ve detected more sources in 6 months than the big flagship missions XMM-Newton and Chandra have done in nearly 25 years of operation,” she added.
