Evidence for a Fast Soft X-Ray Wind in M82 from XMM-RGS

The Astrophysical Journal
Starburst wind models predict that metals and energy are primarily carried out of the disk by hot gas ( T > 10 ^6 K), but the low energy resolution of X-ray CCD observations results in large uncertainties on the mass and energy loading.

An Overview of X-Ray Polarimetry of Astronomical Sources

Galaxies, 2018
We review the history of astronomical X-ray polarimetry based on the author’s perspective, beginning with early sounding-rocket experiments by Robert Novick at Columbia University and his team, of which the author was a member.

Unbiased CLEAN for STIX in Solar Orbiter

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
CLEAN is an iterative deconvolution method for radio and hard-X-ray solar imaging. In a specific step of its pipeline, CLEAN requires the convolution between an idealized version of the instrumental point-spread function (PSF), and a map collecting point

Optimization of grazing incidence mirrors and its application to surveying X-ray telescopes

, 2001
Grazing incidence mirrors for X-ray astronomy are usually designed in the parabola-hyperbola (Wolter I) configuration. This design allows for optimal images on-axis, which however degrade rapidly with the off-axis angle.

Layered Nanoporous Platforms for SERS Sensing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Here, we present a detailed investigation of the SERS performance of layered nanoporous metals. The controlled deposition of well‐defined, stacked porous layers enabled a systematic analysis of the effects of multimetallic systems in SERS experiments. Numerical models are also used to support the experimental findings.

Investigating Time Variability of X-Ray Absorption in Swift GRBs

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The existence of excess absorption in the X-ray spectra of GRBs is well known, but the primary location of the absorbing material is still uncertain. To gain more knowledge about this, we have performed a time-resolved analysis of the X-ray spectra of ...

X- and Gamma-ray Studies of Cas A: Exposing Core Collapse to the Core

, 2003
In this review of X-ray and gamma-ray observations of Cas A, evidence is discussed that Cas A was a Type Ib supernova of a Wolf-Rayet star with a main sequence mass between 22-25 Msun, that exploded after stellar wind loss had reduced its mass to ~6 Msun.

Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

, 2000
The properties of the absorption in type 2, narrow line AGNs are reviewed by focusing on the X-ray indicators. I discuss the properties of the cold absorbing medium (the putative torus) and of the reprocessed components, as well as their implications for

The Influence of Mesoscale Particle Structure on the Electrode Degradation and Resultant Electrochemistry of Lithium Ion Cells With Nickel Rich Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide Positive Electrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Milled polycrystalline NMC811 cathode (MPC NMC) with smaller secondary particle and higher surface area had 1) greater cathode tortuosity, 2) reduced surface Ni on the cycled MPC cathodes consistent with surface reconstruction, and 3) increased Ni deposition from cathode‐anode crosstalk, manifesting in lower functional capacity and higher impedance ...

Predicting dialyzer fiber blocking is hard due to high intrapatient variability and limited utility of thrombin generation markers

Scientific Reports
To date, no reliable blood-based or instrumental parameters are available to quantify dialyzer fiber blocking during hemodialysis. The only accurate method remains micro-computed tomography (µCT) imaging of the hemodialyzer post-dialysis, a labor ...
