Gas within the Solar System's heliosphere emits a complex pattern of soft X-rays. Dennerl et al. use the eROSITA X-ray survey to disentangle this foreground emission and determine where in the heliosphere it comes from.

#MPE 🤝 #IUCAA
We're happy to announce a new #MaxPlanck Partner group to study our nearest galactic neighbors using data from the #eROSITA X-ray telescope.
This partnership was mainly established by Chandreyee Maitra, former researcher at MPE and now associate professor at IUCAA.

Cosmic Noon galaxies weren't chaotic mergers!
A new study by #MPE researchers using #NOEMA & #JWST data shows many massive disks had spiral arms & bars that actively drove gas transport inward, fueling intense star formation. This challenges old views of early galaxy evolution.
