NuSTAR sees a hard X-ray state after MAXI J1752–457 superburst
—
in AstrophysicsWhat the study found MAXI J1752–457 was observed with NuSTAR after a superburst, and the source was confirmed to match the previously seen Einstein Probe source EP240809a. The hard X-ray emission was consistent with a spherical blackbody component plus a steep nonthermal power-law component. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that the…
DBSCAN estimates DNA damage yields from ion beam quality
DBSCAN algorithm predicts DNA damage yields and assesses beam quality for proton and carbon ion irradiation with a novel Quality of Beam metric for radiotherapy.
Dust layer weakens low-level cloud increase over the North Atlantic
Study quantifies how free-tropospheric Saharan dust over the North Atlantic modulates low-level cloud cover via longwave-induced cloud-top warming that counteracts shortwave-driven cloud enhancement.
