Description
eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array), the core instrument on the Russian-German Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission has completed 4 scans of the entire sky with unprecedented sensitivity in the 0.2-8 keV energy range. I will present an overview of the instrument capabilities, the current status of the mission, a few selected early science results focusing on the study of the time domain properties of galactic nuclei.
