まとめ
準周期的なX線噴出は,その低質量ブラックホールから発生するセイフェルト2の銀河GSN 069から観測された. これらの現象は急速なスペクトル変化を示し,活発な銀河核の蓄積過程に関する新しい洞察を提供します.

- 高エネルギー天体物理学
- ブラックホールの蓄積物理学
背景:
- 休眠銀河からの高振幅の電磁爆発は,中央の超大質量ブラックホールによる潮破壊イベント (TDE) としばしば関連付けられています.
- Seyfert 2の銀河GSN 069は2010年にX線で顕著に明るくなり,長寿TDEの可能性を示唆した.
- 前回の観測では 超柔らかいX線スペクトルが 蓄積円盤放射と一致していた.
研究 の 目的:
- GSN 069の活発な銀河核 (AGN) からの恒常的なX線放射の性質を調査する.
- 観測された準周期的なX線噴出とその関連スペクトル特性を特徴付ける.
- 低質量ブラックホール周辺の 蓄積過程へのこれらの噴火の影響を調査する.
主な方法:
- 2018年12月から54日間のGSN 069の連続的なX線モニタリング
- 噴火事件を特定し,定量化するために,X線数値の分析.
- 噴火中の温度変化を追跡するスペクトル分析
主要な成果:
- ~1時間の持続時間と ~9時間の再発時間を持つ準周期的なX線噴火の発見.
- これらの噴火の間,X線数値は最大2桁増加しました.
- ~4x10^5の太陽質量を持つブラックホールの周りの蓄積フローで,冷たいと暖かいフェーズ (kT ~120 eV) の間の相関する急速なスペクトルトランジション.
結論:
- 観測された噴火は,GSN 069の低質量ブラックホールの蓄積フロー内の不安定性またはプロセスによって引き起こされる可能性があります.

Detection of Black Holes
2.5K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.

10.1K
The measurement protocol and data analysis procedure are given for obtaining transverse coherence of a synchrotron radiation X-ray source along four directions simultaneously using a single 2-D checkerboard phase grating. This simple technique can be applied for complete transverse coherence characterization of X-ray sources and X-ray...

9.8K
Here, we present a protocol on how to determine the quantity and distribution of metals in a sample using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence. We focus on adherent cells, and describe the chemical fixation method to prepare this sample. We then describe how to mount and image the sample using synchrotron X-rays.

7.9K
The manuscript describes a method of phonon-assisted quasi-resonant fluorescence spectroscopy that incorporates both laser-limited resolution and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. This method utilizes optical phonons to provide linewidth-limited resolution spectra of atom-like semiconductor structures in the energy domain. The method is also easily realized with a single spectrometer optical spectroscopy setup.

The Nucleus
100.6K
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that acts as a control center in a eukaryotic cell. It contains chromosomal DNA, which controls gene expression and precisely regulates the production of proteins within the cell. In contrast, the DNA inside the mitochondria and chloroplast only carries out functions that are specific to those organelles.
Arrangement of DNA within Nucleus
The regulation of gene expression inside the nucleus is dependent on many factors, including the DNA structure. The...
