Observations of the hot X-ray emitting interstellar medium in the Milky Way are important for studying the stellar feedback and for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. We present measurements of the soft X-ray background emissio...

Chemical elements in the hot medium permeating early-type galaxies, groups, and clusters make such objects an excellent laboratory for studying metal enrichment and cycling processes on the largest scales of the universe. Here, we report the analy...

We present measurements of the soft X-ray background emission for 130 Suzaku observations at 75◦ < l < 285◦ and |b| > 15◦ obtained from 2005 to 2015, covering nearly one solar cycle. In addition to the standard soft X-ray background model consisti...

Here, we present results from over 500 ksChandra and XMM-Newton observations of the cool core of the Centaurus cluster. We investigate the spatial distributions of the O, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Ni abundances in the intracluster medium ...

Despite their importance, a detailed understanding of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remains elusive. X-ray measurements of the element distributions in supernova remnants (SNRs) offer important clues for understanding the explosion and nucleosynthes...
