| contents | Following the recent identification of discrete ROSAT and radio sources associated with the virial shocks of MCXC clusters and groups, we examine if the early eROSITA-DE data release (EDR) shows virial-shock X-ray sources within its $140$ deg$^2$ field. EDR catalog sources are stacked and radially binned around EDR catalog clusters and groups. The properties of the excess virial-shock sources are inferred statistically by comparing the virial-shock region to the field. An excess of X-ray sources is found narrowly localized at the $2.0<r/R_{500}<2.25$ normalized radii, just inside the anticipated virial shocks, of the resolved 532 clusters, for samples of both extended ($3σ$ for 534 sources) or bright ($3.5σ$ for 5820 sources; $4σ$ excluding the low cluster-mass quartile) sources. The excess sources are on average extended ($\sim 100$ kpc), luminous ($L_X\simeq 10^{43-44}$ erg s$^{-1}$), and hot ($\sim$keV), consistent with infalling gaseous halos crossing the virial shock. The results agree with the stacked ROSAT-MCXC signal, showing the higher $L_X$ anticipated at EDR redshifts and a possible dependence upon host mass. Localized virial-shock spikes in the distributions of discrete radio, X-ray, and probably also $γ$-ray sources are new powerful probes of accretion from the cosmic web, with strong constraints anticipated with future all-sky catalogs such as by eROSITA. |
