SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey

Caption

Cutout of the first SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey. The Hoinga supernova remnant is marked. The large bright source in the lower quadrant of the image is from the supernova remnant "Vela" with "Pupis-A". The image colours are correlated with the energies of the detected X-ray photons. Red represents the 0.3-0.6 keV energy range, green the 0.6-1.0 keV and blue the 1.0-2.3 keV waveband.
