The X-ray nebula associated with the nova shell of GK Persei (1901) is lumpy and asymmetric with most of the emission coming from the SW. The brightest X-ray emission region that appears as all arc is co-spatial with the brightest non-therinal radio emitting region and found to be a source of non-thermal X-ray emission with a power law photon index of 2.3(-1.3)(+0-9) with L similar to 4 x 10(30) erg s(-1) at 470 pc. The unexpectedly low temperature of the forward shock (0.1-0.3 keV) is suggestive of particle acceleration occurring in this region, too. The total X-ray spectrum of the nebula consists of two prominent components of emission (other than the localized non-thermal emission).

Measurement of electroweak-induced production of W gamma with two jets in pp collisions at root s=8TeV and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-06-01) A measurement of electroweak-induced production of W gamma and two jets is performed, where the W boson decays leptonically. The data used in the analysis correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment in root s = 8TeV proton-proton collisions produced at the LHC. Candidate events are selected with exactly one muon or electron, missing transverse momentum, one photon, and two jets with large rapidity separation. An excess over the hypothesis of the standard model witho...
Discovery of a transient magnetar: XTE J1810-197 Ibrahim, AI; Markwardt, CB; Swank, JH; Ransom, S; Roberts, M; Kaspi, V; Woods, PM; Safi-Harb, S; Balman, Şölen; Parke, WC; Kouveliotou, C; Hurley, K; Cline, T (IOP Publishing, 2004-07-01) We report the discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, XTE J1810 - 197, that was serendipitously discovered on 2003 July 15 by the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) while observing the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806 - 20. The pulsar has a 5.54 s spin period, a soft X-ray spectrum ( with a photon index of approximate to 4), and is detectable in earlier RXTE observations back to 2003 January but not before. These show that a transient outburst began between 2002 November 17 and 2003 January 23 and that the source's pe...
Application of the hot white dwarf atmosphere models to the X-ray data of classical novae Balman, Şölen (1998-09-10) The analyses of X-ray emission from classical novae after outburst have shown that the soft X-ray emission below 1 keV, which is thought to originate from the photosphere of the white dwarf, is inconsistent with the simple black body model of emission. Thus, the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) data (0.1-2.4 keV) of the classical novae V1974 Cygni 1992 and some others have been reanalyzed in order to understand the spectral development of novae in the X-ray wavelengths during the outburs...
Analysis of optical constants and temperature-dependent absorption edge of GaS0.75Se0.25 layered crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2017-06-01) GaS0.75Se0.25 single crystals were optically characterized through transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 450-1000 nm. Derivative spectrophotometry analyses on temperature dependent transmittance spectra showed that band gap energies of the crystal increase from 239 eV (T=300 K) to 2.53 eV (T=10 K). Band gap at zero temperature, average phonon energy, electron phonon coupling parameter and rates of change of band gap energy with temperature were found from the temperature depend...
Investigation of HMO spectra of Huckel and Mobius type cyclacenes Turker, L; Erkoç, Şakir (1997-01-01) The Huckel molecular orbital spectra (HMO) of Huckel- and Mobius-type cyclacenes having 3-15 benzenoid rings were investigated and it was found that certain eigenvalues are topologically invariant, whereas others exhibit topological periodicity. Fbr example, Huckel-type cyclacenes having 2r (r: 2,3,4,...) benzenoid rings which possess nonbonding molecular orbitals (NBMO) and are thus expected to be open shell structures.
