An Effective, Versatile, and Inexpensive Device for Oxygen Uptake Measurement
In the last ten years, the use of fluorescent probes developed to measure oxygen has resulted in several marketed devices, some unreasonably expensive and with little flexibility. We have explored the use of the effective, versatile, and inexpensive Redflash technology to determine oxygen uptake by a number of different biological samples using various layouts. This technology relies on the use...
متن کاملA Major X-ray Outburst from an Ultraluminous X-ray Source in M82
We detected a major X-ray outburst from M82 with a duration of 79 days, an average flux of 5×10 erg cm s in the 2-10 keV band, and strong variability. The X-ray spectrum remained hard throughout the outburst. We obtained a Chandra observation during the outburst that shows that the emission arises from the ultraluminous X-ray source X41.4+60. This source has an unabsorbed flux of (5.4± 0.2)× 10...
متن کاملDABAM: an open-source database of X-ray mirrors metrology
An open-source database containing metrology data for X-ray mirrors is presented. It makes available metrology data (mirror heights and slopes profiles) that can be used with simulation tools for calculating the effects of optical surface errors in the performances of an optical instrument, such as a synchrotron beamline. A typical case is the degradation of the intensity profile at the focal p...
متن کاملYet another galaxy identification for an ultraluminous X - ray source ⋆
We report on the identification of the optical and infrared counterparts of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) XMMU J121214.5+131248 (NGC4168-ULX1). The optical spectrum yields a redshift of z = 0.217, which implies that the ULX is not associated with the nearby galaxy NGC 4168, but rather with a background object. Optical spectral line ratios and the spectral energy distribution constructed ...
متن کاملNew flaring of an ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC1365
We have studied a highly variable ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the Fornax galaxy NGC1365, with a series of 12 Chandra and XMM-Newton observations between 2002 and 2006. In 2006 April, the source peaked at a luminosity ≈ 3 × 10 erg s in the 0.3–10 keV band (similar to the maximum luminosity found by ASCA in 1995), and declined on an e-folding timescale ≈ 3 days. The X-ray spectrum is alwa...
