Unveiling the hot interstellar medium in nearby galaxies with eROSITA
Diffuse X-ray emission in galaxies arises from both stellar-feedback-heated gas and unresolved compact sources. Previous studies mainly focused on the integrated X-ray luminosity, leaving the thermal component, especially in low star formation rate (SFR) galaxies, largely unexplored. We aim to characterize the diffuse...
