Journal Article
(2016). Application of the 15N gas-flux method for measuring in situ N2 and N2O fluxes due to denitrification in natural and semi-natural terrestrial ecosystems and comparison with the acetylene inhibition technique. Biogeosciences, 1821 -1835. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-1821-2016

Soil denitrification is considered the most un-constrained process in the global N cycle due to uncertain in situ N2 flux measurements, particularly in natural and semi-natural terrestrial ecosystems. 15N tracer approaches can provide in situ measure...

Context. Quasi-stellar objects (quasars) located behind nearby galaxies provide an excellent absolute reference system for astrometric studies, but they are difficult to identify because of fore- and background contamination. Deep wide-field, high an... Read More about New quasars behind the Magellanic Clouds. Spectroscopic confirmation of near-infrared selected candidates.

X-ray timing analysis of the quasar PG 1211+143 (2016)

(2016). X-ray timing analysis of the quasar PG 1211+143. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 38 -50. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2896

We report on a timing analysis of a new ~630?ks XMM–Newton observation of the quasar, PG 1211+143. We find a well-defined X-ray power spectrum with a well-detected bend at ~7 × 10-5?Hz, consistent with the established tbend–MBH correlation for lumino...

We investigated the effects of first-forbidden transitions in ß decays on the production of the r -process A~195 peak. The theoretical calculated ß-decay rates with ß-delayed neutron emission were examined using several astrophysical conditions. As t...
