X-ray emission from faint galaxies and quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
In this thesis a study of faint X-ray sources is undertaken to understand the nature and origin of the Cosmic X-ray Background (XRB). A study of the X-ray variability characteristics of the QSO population is also presented.

Rooting binder-free tin nanoarrays into copper substrate via tin-copper alloying for robust energy storage

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The authors here report a binder-free electrode based on tin nanoarrays deposited on copper substrate. It is found that the locally formed electrochemically inactive tin-copper alloys work as a glue that bridges tin and copper to survive harsh cycling ...

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

TeV gamma-ray emission from accreting binary pulsars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The high-mass X-ray binary SMC X-1 has been observed during the interval 1986-1989 at a threshold γ-ray energy of 0.4 TeV using the University of Durham Mark III air Cerenkov telescope at Narrabri.

ZnO Nanowire Cold Cathode Hemispherical X‐Ray Sources

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials
Curved or spherical X‐ray sources are significant for use in intraoperative radiotherapy, adaptive static medical imaging, and high‐throughput industrial inspection, but they are hard to achieve using traditional thermionic cathode point electron sources.

DISCRETE X-RAY SOURCES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
Current studies of extragalactic X-ray sources using data from orbital observatory XMM- Newton are at the front line of X-ray astronomy. Resolution capacity of the observatory instruments enable to detect separate X-ray sources in the close galaxies.

Synchrotron Cutoff in Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The origin of spectral curvature at energies E ≃ 10 keV in ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) is not well understood. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism based on synchrotron radiation to explain this cutoff.

Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,

A Comprehensive Comparison of Spin-up and Spin-down Episodes of 4U 1538-522 Observed with NuSTAR

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
4U 1538-522 is a persistent high-mass X-ray binary that exhibits secular spin evolution. In 2019, it underwent a torque reversal from spinning up to spinning down.

Unveiling Properties of the Nonthermal X-Ray Production in the Gamma-Ray Binary LS 5039 Using the Long-term Pattern of Its Fast X-Ray Variability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gamma-ray binary systems, a subclass of high-mass X-ray binaries, show nonthermal emissions from radio to TeV. While efficient electron acceleration is considered to take place in them, the nature of the acceleration mechanism and the physical ...
