Outline of the talk

• The KeV – TeV Connection: a few reasons of the “science case” (not exhaustive)

• A golden age for X-ray astronomy– eRosita– Simbol X– The Others (MIRAX, HXMT, NEXT,

EXIST…) (not exhaustive)

• Considerations

Only some of planned/designed/studied X-ray Observatories will be introduced…

Identification of Sources

Association is certainly spatial/morphology coincidence…

(Funk et al., astro-ph/0609586)

Hess ~2’ (Aharonian et al., 2006) ASCA AX J1813-178, highly absorbed, Hard (~1.8), extended INTEGRAL IGRJ18135-1751 (Ubertini et al., 2006), softer than ASCASwift-XRT (Landi 2006), hard source, highly absorbed VLA 20 and 90 cm young (~ 1ky) shell like SNR 2.5’ diameter (G12.82-0.02) coincident with HESS (Brogan 2005)XMM spectral and morphological studies, (Funk et al. 2006), compact core, extended tail, non thermal, highly absorbed

X-ray observation tracing the synchrotron emission of relativistic electrons are well suited to the identification of VHE Gamma Ray emitters

Identification of Sources (2)

(Funk et al., astro-ph/0611646)

It’s the positional and morphological coincidence that allows identification

Identification of sources (3)It’s not so easy, the case of Unidentified sourcesmay be very faint

Aharonian et al. -HEGRA collab.-, 2005

Prototype of Unidentified sources discovered by HESS Spectrum is a power law (~1.9), extended Gamma Ray Excess from Cygnus, Milagro (Abdo et al., 2006)Radio Emission (Peredes 2006X-ray studies, (Butt 2006, Mukherjee 2006)A deep, 50 ksec XMM Analysis is on going… (Horns et al., submitted)

Search for faint extended emission,

high sensitivity for low surface brightness

HESS 1303-631, HESS J1614-518, HESS 1702-420, HESS J1708-410…

Paris 1.03, 2007 Towards A CTA FP7 Design Study Andrea Santangelo,IAAT

A multimavelength coherent picture

Identification, that is understanding, implies that a coherent multiwavelength scenario must emerge

(Aharonian et al., astro-ph/0611813)

HESS map of RX J1713.7-3946

Contours are from ASCA (1-3 keV band) Correlation is amazing A single electron population generates both the X (Sync.) and the Gamma (IC) radiation Particle acceleration up to 100 TeV is required Model interpretation is not so easy (Lemoine et al., 2006)

Spatially resolved spectral capability at X-rays is key

A key example: synchrotron cooling

Conclusions• The next decade will possibly be again a golden age in X-ray

astronomy with many observatories in orbit

• The main goals appears to be – A very deep survey of the soft-medium X-ray Universe for

cosmology and astrophysics (eRosita)– A survey of the Hard sky (HXMT, EXIST)– The imaging of the Hard X-ray sky with soft-like sensitivity

(Simbol X, NEXT)– Broad Band spectra / Timing studies (Spectrum X-Gamma,

Simbol X, NEXT, MIRAX)– A deep “all sky all time” monitoring in the soft (Lobster,

MAXI), medium-hard (Exist) , time variability of Binaries, AGN

– Deep Study (Simbol X) and continous monitoring (MIRAX) of our Galaxy

Conclusions• These observatories will provide a perfect

complement at soft-medium-hard X-ray to TeV Observations

– Constraining SED in the broad X-ray band (… and therefore models!)

– Providing detailed morphology in the broad X-ray band – Providing spatially resolved spectroscopy in the broad X-

ray band – Allowing a continuous time monitoring of e.g. Blazars

• To seek the collaborative support of the High Energy Astrophysics community at large for CTA is mandatory

• As it is mandatory to shape CTA as an observatory, which is always the best way to maximize any scientific output…

X-ray Clusters for Precision Cosmology: six good reasons

1. Cluster mass function mainly depends on the matter density m and the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum 8

2. Evolution of mass function N(z) gives sensitive constraints on DM and DE

3. Cluster Power Spectrum amplitude and shape depend on DM and DE

4. Baryonic Wiggles due to acoustic oscillations at recombination give tight constraints on space curvature

5. Cluster baryon fraction as a function of redshift provides constraints on DM and DE

6. Clusters provide direct distance measurements due to combined X-ray and SZ-measurements
