XARTATOMS 研究 M104(草帽星系)的热气体晕:用 XMM-Newton 与 Chandra 的 X 射线光谱,测出晕内气体的温度、密度、熵随半径的分布,并检验“引力束缚的静力气体”与“反馈加热的风”两种图景。数据是 XMM 的三次观测(中心 0900170101 加两个偏置指向),拟合用 Sherpa 的 APEC 热等离子体模型加多种背景成分。当前科学基线是 v18 拟合管线。

XARTATOMS studies the hot-gas halo of M104 (the Sombrero Galaxy): using X-ray spectra from XMM-Newton and Chandra it measures how the temperature, density and entropy of the halo gas change with radius, and tests the two competing pictures — a gravitationally bound hydrostatic gas versus a feedback-heated wind. The data are three XMM observations (central 0900170101 plus two offset pointings); the fitting uses Sherpa with an APEC thermal-plasma model plus several background components. The current science baseline is the v18 fitting pipeline.
