The NH Distribution of Hard X-Ray Selected Active Galactic Nuclei in the NEP Field

The Astrophysical Journal
X-ray surveys are one of the most unbiased methods for detecting Compton-thick (CT; N _H ≥ 10 ^24 cm ^−2 ) active galactic nuclei (AGN), which are thought to comprise up to 60% of AGN within z ≲ 1.0.

Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space

Universe
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the most highly debated open questions of the modern research of astronomy ...

Surveys of X-Ray Sources [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1968
My assignment this afternoon is to review briefly the status of the observational work that has been accomplished since the last IAU discussion of X-ray astronomy which took place at the Liege Symposium 3 years ago. Essentially, the methods of observation have not changed in any significant way.

The Future of X-Ray Time-Domain Surveys [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractModern X-ray observatories yield unique insight into the astrophysical time domain. Each X-ray photon can be assigned an arrival time, an energy and a sky position, yielding sensitive, energy-dependent light curves and enabling time-resolved spectra down to millisecond time-scales. Combining those with multiple views of the same patch of sky (e.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Luminosity Evolution of the Hot Gas in Normal Galaxies from the Near Universe to z = 0.5

The Astrophysical Journal
We explore the evolution of the ∼10 ^7 K hot gas in normal galaxies out to redshift = 0.5 (lookback time = 5 Gyr), using X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) built from a sample of 575 normal galaxies with z < 0.6 detected in five high-galactic-latitude ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Smart Source Detection Framework for Lobster Eye Telescopes

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Lobster eye telescopes are designed to capture X-ray emissions from celestial objects across a broad field of view. However, the unique optical system of these telescopes leads to a cruciform pattern on the detector plane, complicating the detection of ...
