Heavy minerals and garnet geochemistry of stream sediments and bedrocks from the Almklovdalen area, Western Gneiss Region, SW Norway: Implications for provenance analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Detrital heavy minerals commonly document the geological setting in the source area, hence they are widely used in sedimentary provenance analysis. In heavy mineral studies, the 63–125 and 63–250 µm grain size fractions are most commonly used. Heavy...

Petrography and geochemistry of Palaeozoic quartz-rich sandstones from Saudi Arabia: implications for provenance and chemostratigraphy (2016)
Journal Article

The Arabian Peninsula hosts a thick Palaeozoic succession, ranging from the Cambrian through the Permian. It not only contains deposits of the two major Palaeozoic glaciations but also holds both the major Palaeozoic hydrocarbon source and reservoir...

Broadband short term variability of the quasar PDS 456 (2016)
Journal Article

We present a detailed analysis of a recent $500$ ks net exposure \textit{Suzaku} observation, carried out in 2013, of the nearby ($z=0.184$) luminous (L$_{\rm bol}\sim10^{47}$ erg s$^{-1}$) quasar PDS 456 in which the X-ray flux was unusually low. Th... Read More about Broadband short term variability of the quasar PDS 456.

Imprints of a high-velocity wind on the soft X-ray spectrum of PG1211+143 (2016)
Journal Article

An extended XMM–Newton observation of the luminous narrow-line Seyfert galaxy PG1211+143 in 2014 has revealed a more complex high-velocity wind, with components distinguished in velocity, ionization level, and column density. Here we report soft X-ra... Read More about Imprints of a high-velocity wind on the soft X-ray spectrum of PG1211+143.

Temporal evolution of a post-caldera, mildly peralkaline magmatic system: Furnas volcano, São Miguel, Azores (2016)
Journal Article

Furnas is one of three active central volcanoes on São Miguel Island, Azores, and is considered to be one of the most hazardous in the archipelago. In this study, the pre-eruptive magma plumbing system of the 10 young (

A closed conformation of the Caenorhabditis elegans separase-securin complex (2016)
Journal Article

The protease separase plays a key role in sister chromatid disjunction and centriole disengagement. To maintain genomic stability, separase activity is strictly regulated by binding of an inhibitory protein, securin. Despite its central role in cell...

CK Vul: a smorgasbord of hydrocarbons rules out a 1670 nova (and much else besides) (2016)
Journal Article

We present observations of CK Vul obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared spectrum reveals a warm dust continuum with nebular, molecular hydrogen and HCN lines superimposed, together with the ‘Unidentified Infrared’ features. The nebu...

Detection of a second high-velocity component in the highly ionized wind from PG 1211+143 (2016)
Journal Article

An extended XMM–Newton observation of the luminous narrow line Seyfert galaxy PG1211+143 in 2014 has revealed a more complex highly ionized, high-velocity outflow. The detection of previously unresolved spectral structure in Fe K absorption finds a... Read More about Detection of a second high-velocity component in the highly ionized wind from PG 1211+143.

Magnesium isotope fractionation during carbonatite magmatism at Oldoinyo Lengai, Tanzania (2016)
Journal Article

To investigate the behaviour of Mg isotopes during carbonatite magmatism, we analyzed Mg isotopic compositions of natrocarbonatites and peralkaline silicate rocks from Oldoinyo Lengai, Tanzania. The olivine melilitites from the vicinity of Oldoinyo L... Read More about Magnesium isotope fractionation during carbonatite magmatism at Oldoinyo Lengai, Tanzania.

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Dynamical analysis of the L1688 region in Ophiuchus (2016)
Journal Article

The Gaia ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey (GES) is providing the astronomical community with high-precision measurements of many stellar parameters including radial velocities (RVs) of stars belonging to several young clusters and star-forming regions...
