Basic data

Acronym:

Doroshenko eRO-STEP

Title:

Akkretierende schwarze Löcher und Neutronensterne in der Milchstraße

Duration:

31/03/2021 to 31/03/2021

Abstract / short description:

The goal of the project is primarily to take advantage of the eROSITA survey data to explore the faint end of the X-ray luminosity functions of X-ray binaries, both low-mass and high-mass. The enhanced sensitivity with respect to previous surveys will allow sampling a larger fraction of objects in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds, down to luminosities that are typical of the quiescent states of these sources.
