Correlated mid-infrared and X-ray outbursts in black hole X-ray binaries: A new route to discovery in infrared surveys

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Chris John, Kishalay De, Matteo Lucchini, Ehud Behar, Erin Kara | Summary: The mid-infrared (MIR; $lambdasimeq3 – 10mu$m) bands offer a unique window into understanding accretion and its interplay with jet formation in Galactic black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). Although extremely difficult to observe from the ground, […]

The hyperplane of early-type galaxies: using stellar population properties to increase the precision and accuracy of the fundamental plane as a distance indicator

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Matthew Colless, Arjen van der Wel, Sam P. Vaughan, Khaled Said | Summary: We use deep spectroscopy from the SAMI Galaxy Survey to explore the precision of the fundamental plane of early-type galaxies (FP) as a distance indicator for future single-fibre spectroscopy surveys. We study […]

Prior-Informed AGN-Host Spectral Decomposition Using PyQSOFit

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Wenke Ren, Hengxiao Guo, Yue Shen, John D. Silverman, Colin J. Burke | Summary: We introduce an improved method for decomposing the emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies using templates from principal component analysis (PCA). This approach integrates prior information from PCA […]

Gravitational waves from mergers of Population III binary black holes: roles played by two evolution channels

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Tilman Hartwig, Nina S. Sartorio, Irina Dvorkin, Guglielmo Costa | Summary: The gravitational wave (GW) signal from binary black hole (BBH) mergers is a promising probe of Population III (Pop III) stars. To fully unleash the power of the GW probe, one important step is […]

Structure of the E3 ligase CRL2-ZYG11B with substrates reveals the molecular basis for N-degron recognition and ubiquitination

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Xi Liu, Yang Li, Lennice Castro, Zanlin Yu, Yifan Cheng, Matthew D Daugherty and John D Gross | Summary: ZYG11B is a substrate specificity factor for Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL2) involved in many biological processes, including Gly/N-degron pathways. Yet how the binding of ZYG11B with CRL2 is coupled to […]
