Jan Robrade (Hamburger Sternwarte) eROSITA & Stars 06.06.2017 9 / 10 Summary and synergies

The eROSITA all-sky survey - an unprecedented view of the X-ray sky

RASS =⇒ eRASS: about factor 20 higher sensitivity plus variability, higher spatial resolution, X-ray spectral characteristics...

volume complete samples, full stellar populations, large object numbers

Synergies: eROSITA stars are optically bright (V . 15 mag) :: distances, 3-D space motions, identifications etc. MWL data and aux. catalogs :: stellar properties, activity+age indicators, planet hosts etc.
