Sometimes They Come Back: Pulsations in A 0538–66 at 69 ms Rediscovered with NICER

The Astrophysical Journal
We report on Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray observations of the Be X-ray binary A 0538–66 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Fast pulsations (69 ms) in this source were discovered in 1980 during a bright outburst in which it

Bright Monocompound Metal Halide Scintillator for Fast Neutron Radiography

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal halide scintillator, tetraphenylphosphonium manganese bromide (TPP2MnBr4), provides a significant benefit for fast neutron imaging. A fourfold increase in efficiency over traditional zinc sulfide screens is achieved by efficiently utilizing neutron interactions within its homogeneous structure.

The Magnetospheres of (Accreting) Neutron Stars

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
I give an overview of the most important observational tools to study the magnetospheres of accreting neutron stars, with a focus on accreting neutron stars in high mass X-ray binary systems.

The Hierarchical Structure of Sheep Wool and Its Impact on Physical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sheep wool, a prevalent α‐keratinous fiber, is an essential model for studying protein‐based fibers. Its genetic diversity across breeds enables the establishment of multiscale structure‐property relationships, uncovering previously elusive insights into wool's hierarchical structure.

Sharp Periodic Flares and Long-term Variability in the High-mass X-Ray Binary XTE J1829−098 from RXTE PCA, Swift BAT, and MAXI Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
XTE J1829−098 is a transient X-ray pulsar with a period of ∼7.8 s. It is a candidate Be star system, although the evidence for this is not yet definitive.

High‐Density Boron Nitride Nanotube Composites via Surfactant‐Stabilized Lyotropic Liquid Crystals for Enhanced Space Radiation Shielding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐density BNNT films, enabling mechanical robustness and high space radiation shielding effectiveness, are fabricated using surfactant‐stabilized BNNT liquid crystal. Simulations indicate that a 50 g cm−2 BNNT film can reduce radiation exposure by 56% compared to zero shielding, potentially doubling the duration of astronaut missions on the lunar ...

Highly Polarized Intrinsic Emission and Its Orthogonal Counterpart in Vela X-1

The Astrophysical Journal
Vela X-1 is one of the most archetypal wind-fed X-ray pulsars (XRPs), and the emergence of its orthogonal polarization states reveals distinctive polarimetric properties.

Quiescent and flaring X-ray emission from the nearby M/T dwarf binary SCR 1845-6357

, 2010
We investigate an XMM-Newton observation of SCR 1845-6357, a nearby, ultracool M8.5/T5.5 dwarf binary. The binary is unresolved in the XMM detectors, however the X-ray emission is very likely from the M8.5 dwarf.

Differentiating the Synergistic Interactions Between Li+ Salts and Cyclic to Linear Carbonate Ratios to Enable Wide‐Temperature Performance of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The coordination in carbonate solvents and degradation products of lithium difluoro(oxolato) borate (LiDFOB) salt enables sufficient passivation of both LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathode and graphite anode in the absence of ethylene carbonate (EC).

A Panchromatic Study of the X-Ray Binary Population in NGC 300 on Subgalactic Scales

The Astrophysical Journal
The population-wide properties and demographics of extragalactic X-ray binaries (XRBs) correlate with the star formation rates (SFRs), stellar masses ( M _⋆ ), and environmental factors (such as metallicity, Z ) of their host galaxy.
