Ultrafast Transitions in X‐Ray Irradiated Solids
ABSTRACT In this review, we present current developments on modeling ultrafast transitions in solids triggered by intense, atto‐ to femtosecond pulses from X‐ray free electron lasers. This specific irradiation regime requires dedicated simulation tools based on theoretical and computational methods, involving the elements of classical and quantum ...

The Merging Galaxy Cluster Environment Affects the Morphology of Radio Active Galactic Nuclei
It has previously been found that the galaxy cluster environment can affect the fueling and evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGN). This work examines the effect of the merging cluster environment on the properties of radio AGN by comparing the radio ...

Fast radio bursts in the discs of active galactic nuclei
ABSTRACT Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are luminous millisecond-duration radio pulses with extragalactic origin, which were discovered more than a decade ago. Despite the numerous samples, the physical origin of FRBs remains poorly understood. FRBs have been thought to originate from young magnetars or accreting compact objects (COs). Massive

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

Giant radio sources (GRSs) are the single largest astrophysical objects known in the Universe that have grown to megaparsec scales (≥0.7 Mpc). GRSs are much rarer compared with normal-sized radio galaxies.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Radio Spectroscopy of Active Galactic Nuclei
Radio spectroscopy offers a number of tools for studying a large variety of astrophysical phenomena, ranging from stars and their environment to interstellar and intergalactic medium, active galactic nuclei (AGN) and distant quasars. Main targets of extragalactic radio spectroscopy are atomic and molecular material in galaxies, HII regions, and maser ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Interpreting radiative efficiency in radio-loud AGNs [PDF]
Author submitted version of unrefereed Nature Astronomy comment. Version in journal format available at https://rdcu.be/KH6WRadiative efficiency in radio-loud active galactic nuclei is governed by the accretion rate onto the central black hole rather ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
