XY Ari is one of the few known eclipsing intermediate polars. We present results from a detailed analysis of an unpublished archival observation using XMM-Newton EPIC pn and MOS data in a quiescent state of XY Ari. The X-ray orbital modulation and spin-pulse variations were investigated for energy-dependent modulations in different energy bands. The broad orbital modulation observed with various observations was confirmed with XMM-Newton in the hard X-ray (>1.6 keV). The EPIC light curves folded at the spin phases show a double-peak profile, as expected from two-pole accretion. The pulse profile is found to be energy-dependent. Hardness-ratio variations and energy modulation depth during spin modulation can be explained by photoelectric absorption. The simultaneously fitted EPIC spectra with a multi-temperature plasma emission model (CEVMKL) model yield a maximum plasma temperature of 28(-2.9)(+3.1) keV with an iron abundance Fe/Fe-circle dot = 0.37(-0.05)(+0.06) . We find two intrinsic partial covering absorption columns of 6.2(-0.9)(+1.0) x 10(22) and 105.3(-30.4)(+35.4) x 10(22) cm(-2) with covering fractions of 0.53(-0.04)(+0.05), 0.41(-0.13)(+0.14), respectively. In addition, a Gaussian emission line at 6.43(-0.02)(+0.01) keV with an equivalent width of 51(-10)(+12) eV is required to account for fluorescent emission from neutral iron. The X-ray luminosity of the source is 4.2 x 10(32) erg s(-1) in the 0.2-10.0 keV energy band.

Measurement of angular correlations in Drell-Yan lepton pairs to probe Z/gamma* boson transverse momentum at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2013-03-13) A measurement of angular correlations in Drell-Yan lepton pairs via the phi(eta)* observable is presented. This variable probes the same physics as the Z/gamma* boson transverse momentum with a better experimental resolution. The Z/gamma* -> e(+)e(-) and Z/gamma* -> mu(+)mu(-) decays produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV are used. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). Normalised differe...
Evidence for collectivity in pp collisions at the LHC Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2017-02-01) Measurements of two- and multi-particle angular correlations in pp collisions at root s = 5, 7, and 13TeV are presented as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1.0 pb(-1) (5 TeV), 6.2 pb(-1) (7 TeV), and 0.7 pb(-1) (13 TeV), were collected using the CMS detector at the LHC. The second-order (v(2)) and third-order (v(3)) azimuthal anisotropy harmonics of unidentified charged particles, as well as v(2) of K-S(0) and Lambda/(Lambda) over bar particl...
A study of selected low-mass X-ray binary dip sources observed with INTEGRAL Balman, Şölen (2007-08-17) I present archival data of the dipping LMXB systems, XB 1916-053, XB 1323-619, X1624-490, and 4U 1746-371obtained by the ISGRI and JEM-X detectors on-board the INTEGRAL Observatory. The spectral parameters derived from the fits to the data are consistent with hot coronal regions in these systems where the electron temperatures are in a range 4.9-18.8 keV with the exception of XB 1323-62 having an unbounded temperature. The optical depth to Compton scattering, tau is low and consistent with electron densitie...
A novel and short synthesis of (1,4/2)-cyclohex-5-ene-triol and its conversion to (+/-)-proto-quercitol Gultekin, MS; Salamci, E; Balcı, Metin (2003-07-29) (1,4/2)-Cyclohex-5-ene-triol was synthesized starting from cyclohexa-1,4-diene with two different approaches. Photooxygenation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene and epoxy-cyclohexene afforded anti-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-en-5-yl hydroperoxide and anti-7-oxabicclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-yl hydroperoxide, respectively. Hydroperoxy endoperoxide was reduced with aqueous sodium bisulfite; hydroperoxy-epoxide with dimethylsulfide-titanium tetraisopropoxide to give 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-3-ol. Acidic hydrolysis of the ...
The re-analysis of the ROSAT data of Nova Mus 1983 using white dwarf atmosphere emission models Balman, Şölen; Krautter, J (2001-10-01) The analyses of X-ray emission from classical novae during the outburst stage 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 blackbody model of emission. Thus, ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) archival data of the classical Nova Mus 1983 (GQ Mus) have been re-analysed in order to understand the spectral development in the X-ray wavelengths during the outburst stage. The X-ray spec...
