Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.

ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS PAIRS: CHANCE SUPERPOSITIONS OR BLACK HOLE BINARIES? [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Several active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with multiple sets of emission lines (ELs) separated by over 2000 km s-1 have been observed recently. These have been interpreted as being due to massive black hole (MBH) recoil following a black hole merger, MBH binaries, or chance superpositions of AGNs in galaxy clusters. Moreover, a number of double-peaked AGNs

Ginseng polysaccharides prevent mastitis through Lactobacillus murinus‐derived deoxycholic acid and TGR5 signaling

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Prebiotic Ginseng polysaccharides (GP) alleviate mastitis through selective enrichment of gut L. murinus, which elevates its anti‐inflammatory metabolite deoxycholic acid (DCA). Circulating DCA engages mammary epithelial TGR5 receptors, triggering the cAMP–PKA pathway to suppress NF‐κB/NLRP3‐mediated inflammation.

Could the Interband Lag of Active Galactic Nucleus Vary Randomly?

The Astrophysical Journal
The interband lags among the optical broad-band continua of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been intensively explored over the past decade. However, the nature of the lags remains under debate.

X-Ray Flares in the Long-term Light Curve of Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus M81*

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Most active galactic nuclei at the center of the nearby galaxies have supermassive black holes accreting at sub-Eddington rates through hot accretion flows or radiatively inefficient accretion flows, which efficiently produce jets.

ULTRAFAST OUTFLOWS: GALAXY-SCALE ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FEEDBACK [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2013
We show, using global 3D grid-based hydrodynamical simulations, that Ultra Fast Outflows (UFOs) from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) result in considerable feedback of energy and momentum into the interstellar medium (ISM) of the host galaxy. The AGN wind interacts strongly with the inhomogeneous, two-phase ISM consisting of dense clouds embedded in a ...

Enhanced Black Hole Mergers in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks due to Precession-induced Resonances

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Recent studies have shown that active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks can host sources of gravitational waves. Compact binaries can form and merge in AGN disks through their interactions with the gas and other compact objects in the disk.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...

Robust active galactic nucleus and host-galaxy decomposition in optical spectral fitting

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Unraveling the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to host galaxies requires disentangling the active galactic nuclei (AGN) emission from that of the stellar populations in which they are embedded.
