Time Variable Faraday Rotation Measures of 3c 273 & 3c 279

Multifrequency polarimetry with the VLBA confirms the previously reported timevarying Faraday rotation measure (RM) in the quasar 3C 279. Variability in the RM and electric vector position angle (EVPA) of the jet component (C4) is seen making it an unreliable absolute EVPA calibrator. 3C 273 is also shown to vary its RM structure on 1.5 year time-scales. Variation in the RM properties of quasar...

A Modified Stratified Model for 3c 273 Jet

We present a modified stratified jet model to interpret the observed spectral energy distributions of knots in 3C 273 jet. Based on the hypothesis of the single index of the particle energy spectrum at injection and identical emission processes among all the knots, the observed difference of spectral shape among different 3C273 knots can be understood as a manifestation of deviation of the equi...

Photoswitchable red fluorescent protein with a large Stokes shift.

A subclass of fluorescent proteins (FPs), large Stokes shift (LSS) FP, are characterized by increased spread between excitation and emission maxima. We report a photoswitchable variant of a red FP with an LSS, PSLSSmKate, which initially exhibits excitation and emission at 445 and 622 nm, but violet irradiation photoswitches PSLSSmKate into a common red form with excitation and emission at 573 ...

Monomeric red fluorescent proteins with a large Stokes shift.

Two-photon microscopy has advanced fluorescence imaging of cellular processes in living animals. Fluorescent proteins in the blue-green wavelength range are widely used in two-photon microscopy; however, the use of red fluorescent proteins is limited by the low power output of Ti-Sapphire lasers above 1,000 nm. To overcome this limitation we have developed two red fluorescent proteins, LSS-mKat...
