x-cigale: fitting AGN/galaxy SEDs from X-ray to infrared (2020, methodology): “In the future, X-CIGALE can be used to explore deep/wide surveys of, e.g. eROSITA (e.g. Merloni et al. 2012) and Athena (e.g. Nandra et al. 2013).”
Unveiling the gravitational universe at μ-Hz frequencies (2019, background): “eration of X-ray missions, like the ESA L2 Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena, [189]) and the proposed NASA Lynx [115], will probe the emergence of the first quasars; the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST, [114]) and the Roman Space Telescope (previously known as WFIRST, [246]) w”

Cosmic X-ray surveys of distant active galaxies (2015, background): “…advances in our understanding of the properties and evolution of the sources detected in cosmic X-ray surveys.12 We do not have the space in this review to discuss all of these concepts and, to date, only one has been selected for long-term financial support (Athena; Nandra et al 2013).”
THE CHANDRA COSMOS LEGACY SURVEY: OVERVIEW AND POINT SOURCE CATALOG (2016, methodology): “For example, Athena+ will perform a multi-tiered survey and given the combination of large effective area and field of view will enable X-ray surveys to be carried out two orders of magnitude faster than XMM-Newton and Chandra (see Figure 2 of Aird et al. 2013).”
OBSCURATION-DEPENDENT EVOLUTION OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI (2015, background): “Under the EB model, gas motions are expected in bright AGN, which may be detectable with future X-ray spectroscopes on the ATHENA mission (Nandra et al. 2013).”
