Context . The recently discovered spherical eROSITA bubbles extend up to a latitude of ±80°−85° in the X-ray regime of the Milky Way halo. Similar to the γ -ray Fermi bubbles, they evolve around the Galactic center, making a common origin plausible. However, the driving mechanism and evolution of both bubbles are still under debate. Aims . We inves...

Context: The recently discovered spherical eROSITA bubbles arise up to a latitude of $\pm$80\deg-85\deg in the X-ray regime of the Milky Way halo. Similar to the $\gamma$-ray Fermi bubbles, they evolve around the Galactic center, making a common origin plausible. However, the driving mechanism and evolution of both bubbles are still under debate. A...

Deep-sea archives that include intermediate-lived radioactive Fe particles suggest the occurrence of several recent supernovae inside the present-day volume of the Local Bubble during the last sim 10\,Myr. The isotope Fe is mainly produced in massive stars and ejected in supernova explosions, which should always result in a sizeable yield of Al fro...

Deep-sea archives that include intermediate-lived radioactive $^{60}\mathrm{Fe}$ particles suggest the occurrence of several recent supernovae inside the present-day volume of the Local Bubble during the last $\sim 10$ Myr. The isotope $^{60}\mathrm{Fe}$ is mainly produced in massive stars and ejected in supernova explosions, which should always re...

Context. Measurements of long-lived radioisotopes, which have grown rapidly in quantity and sensitivity over the last few years, provide a means, completely independent of other observational channels, to draw conclusions about near-Earth supernovae (SNe) and thus the origin of the Local Bubble (LB), our Galactic habitat. First and foremost in this...

We show in 3D hydrodynamic simulations that the radioisotopes measured in the Earth's deep sea and on the Moon, among others, were injected by a sequence of nearby supernovae that also created the Local Bubble, our Galactic habitat, over roughly the last 10 million years, with the Solar System entering this superbubble about 4.6 million years ago.
Article
The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is omnipresent in the physics of inversely density-stratified fluids subject to effective gravitational acceleration. In astrophysics, a steep stratification of the ambient medium can fragment a bubble shell faster due to a strongly time-dependent RT instability, causing the classical constant gravity models to...

There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope 60Fe in widespread deep-ocean samples, as well as in the lunar regolith and cosmic rays. This is the first established example of a specific dated astrophysical event out...

Deep-sea archives all over the world show an enhanced concentration of the radionuclide ⁶⁰Fe, isolated in layers dating from about 2.2 Myr ago. Since this comparatively long-lived isotope is not naturally produced on Earth, such an enhancement can only be attributed to extraterrestrial sources, particularly one or several nearby supernovae in the r...

The discovery of radionuclides like 60Fe with half-lives of million years in deep-sea crusts and sediments offers the unique possibility to date and locate nearby supernovae. We want to quantitatively establish that the 60Fe enhancement is the result of several supernovae which are also responsible for the formation of the Local Bubble, our Galacti...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
Traces of 2-3 Myr old 60Fe were recently discovered in a manganese crust and in lunar samples. We have found that this signal is extended in time and is present in globally distributed deep-sea archives. A second 6.5-8.7 Myr old signature was revealed in a manganese crust. The existence of the Local Bubble hints to a recent nearby supernova-activit...

Article
The signature of (60)Fe in deep-sea crusts indicates that one or more supernovae exploded in the solar neighbourhood about 2.2 million years ago. Recent isotopic analysis is consistent with a core-collapse or electron-capture supernova that occurred 60 to 130 parsecs from the Sun. Moreover, peculiarities in the cosmic ray spectrum point to a nearby...
Thesis
Full-text available
Some time ago, an enhanced concentration of the radionuclide 60Fe was discovered in a deep-sea ferromanganese crust, isolated in layers dating from about 2.2 Myr ago. Since 60Fe (whose half-life is about 2.6 Myr) is not naturally produced on Earth, such an excess can only be attributed to extraterrestrial sources, particularly one or several nearby...

Aims: Bow shock waves are a common feature of groups and clusters of galaxies since they are generated as a result of supersonic motion of galaxies through the intergalactic medium. The goal of this work is to present an analytical solution technique for such astrophysical hypersonic blunt body problems. Methods: A method, developed by Schneider (1...
