"Unveiling the Universe: Largest High-Energy Source Map Revealed"

Scientists have released the largest X-ray map of the universe, revealing over 900,000 high-energy cosmic sources, including more than 700,000 supermassive black holes. The data was collected by the eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Russian-German satellite Spektrum-RG, marking the largest collection of X-ray sources ever published. The map also includes 180,000 X-ray emitting stars in the Milky Way, 12,000 clusters of galaxies, and various other exotic sources. This marks a significant milestone in X-ray astronomy, with eROSITA discovering more sources in six months than previous flagship missions have in nearly 25 years.

"Unveiling the Universe: Largest X-ray Survey Reveals 1 Million High-Energy Objects"

The eROSITA sky survey has released the first data, revealing almost 1 million high-energy cosmic sources, including over 700,000 supermassive black holes, in an X-ray view of half the sky over Earth. This constitutes the largest-ever catalog of the universe's most powerful sources of energy, and the data could help answer some of cosmology's biggest questions. The release also details the largest known structures in the universe and includes almost 50 scientific papers published across a range of topics. The eRASS1 data consists of eROSITA telescope observations conducted from Dec. 12, 2019, to June 11, 2020, and has been made available to scientists worldwide.

"eROSITA Unveils Largest X-ray Sky Survey Catalog with 900,000 High-Energy Cosmic Sources"

The German eROSITA consortium has released the largest X-ray catalog ever published, containing about 900,000 distinct sources from the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS1). The data, which includes scientific papers describing new results, will revolutionize our knowledge of the universe at high energies. The catalog covers half the X-ray sky and includes supermassive black holes, X-ray-emitting stars, clusters of galaxies, and other exotic sources. The release also provides images of the X-ray sky, individual photon lists, and software for data analysis, with cosmology results expected in approximately two weeks.
