Soft X‐Ray Properties of Flat‐Spectrum Radio Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1997
We report the soft X-ray properties of 41 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), derived by cross-correlating literature blazar samples with the ROSAT PSPC archive of pointed observations. The redshifts of the sources span the range z = 0-3. The 0.1-2.4 keV spectra of FSRQs are well described by a single power law modified by column densities of neutral ...

Isolated Neutron Stars as Science Validation for XMM2ATHENA: Ensuring Robust Data for Future X‐Ray Astronomy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 3-4, March-May 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of radio‐quiet, x‐ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) in the ROSAT All‐Sky Survey revealed a previously overlooked component of the neutron star population. Advancements in x‐ray instrumentation and the availability of deep, wide‐area optical surveys now enable us to explore XINSs at fainter x‐ray fluxes and ...

B2 1308+326: A Changing-look Blazar or Not?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In our previous study, we identified a shift in the synchrotron peak frequency of the blazar B2 1308+326 from 10 ^12.9 to 10 ^14.8 Hz during a flare, suggesting it could be a changing-look blazar (CLB).

From Novice to Expert: How Expertise Shapes Motor Variability in Sports Biomechanics—a Scoping Review

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2024.
ABSTRACT With expertise, athletes develop motor strategies that enhance sports performance or reduce functional costs. Motor variability is known as a relevant way to characterize these strategies in athletes with different levels of expertise. The aim of this scoping review is to gather and discuss the latest advances in the impact of expertise on ...

The Oscillation in Evolution of Changing-look Blazar OQ 334

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the evolution of a changing-look blazar (CLB) on long timescales and expect to trace the state change of a CLB. Three morphological types, including a flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) state, transition state, and BL Lacertae (BL Lac ...
