Photometric Selection of Type 1 Quasars in the XMM-LSS Field with Machine Learning and the Disk–Corona Connection

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present photometric selection of type 1 quasars in the ≈5.3 deg ^2 XMM-Large Scale Structure survey field with machine learning. We constructed our training and blind-test samples using spectroscopically identified Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasars ...

Lifting the Veil on Obscured Accretion: Active Galactic Nuclei Number Counts and Survey Strategies for Imaging Hard X-Ray Missions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Finding and characterizing the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that produces the X-ray background (XRB) is necessary to connect the history of accretion to observations of galaxy evolution at longer wavelengths.

Adherence to Protocol Recommendations for Children With Wilms Tumour in Two Consecutive Studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland—Does Variation Matter?

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Wilms tumour (WT) has excellent event‐free and overall survival (OS). However, small differences exist between countries participating in the same international study. This led us to examine variation in adherence to protocol recommendations as a potential contributing factor.

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesUniverse
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 ...

The Future of X-ray Time Domain Surveys

open access: yes, 2012
Modern 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

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

The Final Season Reimagined: 30 Tidal Disruption Events from the ZTF-I Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the past few decades, questions regarding the nature of the observed optical, UV,

Comparing Chandra and SIRTF Observations for Obscured Starbursts and AGN at High Redshift

open access: yes, 2003
Tracking the star formation rate to high redshifts requires knowledge of the contribution from both optically visible and obscured sources. The dusty, optically-obscured galaxies can be located by X-ray and infrared surveys.

Luminosity-dependent unification of Active Galactic Nuclei and the X-ray Baldwin effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The existence of an anti-correlation between the equivalent width (EW) of the narrow core of the iron Kalpha line and the luminosity of the continuum (i.e.
