Modeling of the optical spectra of the High-mass X-ray binaries IGR J17544-2619 and IGR J21343+4738
<p>We present the results of our long-term photometric and spectroscopic observations at the Russian–Turkish RTT-150 telescope for the optical counterparts of the High-mass X-ray binaries IGR J17544-2619 and IGR J21343+4738. Based on our optical data, we have determined for the first time the orbital and physical parameters of the IGR J17544-2619 by the methods of Doppler spectroscopy. We have calculated theoretical spectra for the optical counterpart by applying non-LTE corrections for selected lines and obtained the parameters of the stellar atmosphere (<em>T</em><sub>eff</sub> = 33 000 K, log <em>g</em> = 3.85, <em>R<sub>V </sub></em>= 9.5 R<sub>sun</sub>, and <em>M<sub>V</sub></em> = 23M<sub>sun</sub>). The variability of the Hα line in the optical Be star spectra of the IGR J21343+4738 is studied. It reflects the dynamic evolution of the equatorial disk of the optical star. Decrease of the equivalent width of the central absorption of the Hα line from 2006 to 2012 and from 2014 to 2019 is accompanied by a decrease in the photometric brightness of the system, which is explained by an increase in the radius of the equatorial disk of the Be star, which eclipses the star itself. In 2013, the disk size reached its maximum value and was destroyed. From 2014 to 2019 the process of accumulation of matter again began in the equatorial disk of the star, and it can be assumed that in the near future the source will again flare up in the X-ray range.</p>

Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Results - Measuring Bulk Crystallographic Texture from Differently-Orientated Ti-6Al-4V Samples
<p>A dataset of crystallographic texture results for both α (hexagonal close packed, hcp) and β (body-centred cubic, bcc) phases, measured from six differently orientated Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) samples, using two different analysis techniques of synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) data. The texture results are produced from two refinement methods for fitting intensities from SXRD pattern images; an established Rietveld refinement method using the software package <a href="http://maud.radiographema.eu">MAUD (Materials Analysis Using Diffraction)</a> and a new Fourier-based peak fitting method from the <a href="https://pypi.org/project/continuous-peak-fit/">Continuous-Peak-Fit</a> Python package. The texture results were also compared with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements from a single sample orientation. The SXRD and EBSD textures were analysed using <a href="https://mtex-toolbox.github.io">MTEX</a> to enable a direct comparison of the pole figures, orientation distribution functions (ODFs) and numerical values for the texture indices. The SXRD texture is calculated from each of the six different sample orientations, a combination of the six sample orientations, and in a batch processing method for calculating spatially-resolved texture variation from 387 individual X-Y stage-scan SXRD measurements across one of the samples. The texture variation measured using stage-scan SXRD is directly compared with EBSD, by splitting up the EBSD map into an equivalent grid matrix using an automated script in MTEX.</p> <p><strong>Material </strong></p> <p>The Ti-64 material used in this study was pre-rolled to 87.5% reduction at 915ºC and then air-cooled to develop a characteristic texture. The run numbers from the experiment reference six different sample orientations, according to their alignment with the original rolling directions (RD – rolling direction, TD – transverse direction, ND – normal direction), and alignment with the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axes of the synchrotron detector.</p> <p><strong>MAUD / MTEX Analysis</strong></p> <p>The α and β phase texture for each of the six different sample orientations was calculated using MAUD, included in this <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7311323">analysis dataset</a>, which produced ODFs in the form of text files. The texture files were analysed in MTEX using scripts from the <a href="https://github.com/LightForm-group/MAUD-batch-analysis">MAUD-batch-analysis</a> package, for plotting of the pole figures and ODF slices, along with calculation of pole figure maxima, ODF maxima and texture indices. The same procedure was used to analyse texture from all six orientations together; using MTEX to fit a single ODF text file. And a series of ODF text files were analysed to calculate texture variation from an X-Y stage scan of Sample 1 (103845). Two different ODF resolutions of 5º and 15º were initially used to fit the texture in MAUD, with the same ODF resolution applied to analyse the data in MTEX. However, an ODF resolution of 15° was found to reproduce the most reasonable texture strength intensity values, with the closest match to the EBSD results.</p> <p><strong>Continuous-Peak-Fit / MTEX Analysis </strong></p> <p>The lattice plane intensities for 21 α and 4 β phase peaks were extracted from the Continuous-Peak-Fit analysis, included in this <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7311323">analysis dataset</a>, and saved as text files in the form of pole figures. The lattice intensity text files were analysed in MTEX using scripts from the <a href="https://github.com/LightForm-group/continuous-peak-fit-analysis">continuous-peak-fit-analysis</a> package, to plot pole figures and ODF slices, and to calculate pole figure maxima, ODF maxima and texture indices. The same procedure was used to analyse texture from all six orientations together, along with combinations of different sample orientations, by fitting combined lattice intensity text files in MTEX. And a series of lattice intensity text files were analysed to calculate texture variation from the X-Y stage scan of Sample 1 (103845). Lattice plane intensity distributions which had been normalised to a Ti-64 powder sample measurement were also analysed, to see if this had any effect on the texture intensities. Nevertheless, the powder-corrected texture was found to exactly match the raw intensity measurements. Three different ODF resolutions of 5º, 10º and 15º were initially used to fit the texture in MTEX. However, a kernel half-width of 10° was found to produce optimal data fitting, for highly accurate texture strength intensity values.</p> <p><strong>EBSD / MTEX Analysis </strong></p> <p>The indexed α-phase EBSD measurements were recorded over an area of around 100 mm<sup>2</sup>, with an equivalent sized map of β-phase orientations reconstructed from the data. Both the α and the β phase maps were analysed using the <a href="https://github.com/LightForm-group/MTEX-texture-block-analysis">MTEX-texture-block-analysis</a> package, which was used to split up the map into 387 individual square sections, with equivalent dimensions to the SXRD stage-scan measurement grid. For each of the 387 sections, MTEX was used to plot pole figures and ODF slices, and to calculate pole figure maxima, ODF maxima and texture indices.</p> <p><strong>Texture Variation Comparison</strong></p> <p>The texture values calculated from the SXRD stage scan measurements, with the two analysis methods, were used for a direct comparison with the texture variation recorded using EBSD. This analysis was recorded in the <a href="https://github.com/LightForm-group/texture-strength-comparison">texture-strength-comparison</a> package. The results show differences in texture variation across the piece depending on the method used to analyse the SXRD data. The Continuous-Peak-Fit analysis method shows the closest match with EBSD, producing clear texture intensity spikes for the different α and β lattice plane pole figure intensities, ODF maxima and texture indices, at the centre of the piece. The results were also used to develop SXRD maps showing the distribution of texture intensities across the sample.</p> <p><strong>Metadata </strong></p> <p>An accompanying YAML text file contains associated processing metadata for the SXRD and EBSD analyses, recording information about the different packages used to process the data, along with details about the different files contained within this results dataset.</p>
Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for Rhizobium radiobacter N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase
<p>Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for Rhizobium radiobacter N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase collected from crystals produced as below:</p> <p>Purified recombinant RrCβAA was concentrated to 15 mg/mL using a 10 kDa MWCO centrifugal concentrator (Vivaspin) and subjected to sitting drop vapor diffusion crystallization screening with commercial screens from Molecular Dimensions and Hampton Research. Drops of 100 nL protein plus 100 nL well solution were set up against wells containing 70 L of crystallisation solutions. After two weeks crystals were found in xxx condition. An optimisation screen based on this condition was set up in 24 well plates by varying the PEG1500 concentration and MMT buffer pH. Drops of 1 μL protein and 1 μL well solution were set up on plastic cover slips over wells containing 1 ml crystallisation solution. Crystals grew in a well solution containing 23 % (w/v) PEG1500 and 100 mM MMT pH 6.0. Crystals were harvested with a LithoLoop (Molecular Dimensions Limited) and transferred to a cryoprotection solution of well solution supplemented with 50 % PEG400. Cryoprotected crystals were flash cooled in liquid nitrogen. </p>
X-ray computed microtomographic (XRCT) images of a fault core that slipped during the 1726 San Andreas faultzone earthquake
<p>Uploaded are x-ray computed microtomographic (XRCT) images used to examine solid-fluid interactions within one of the near-surface fault cores that slipped during a circa (ca.) 1726 San Andreas Fault zone earthquake. The study site is 16 km northwest of Bombay Beach, California (33.45873, -115.8560), and our sample, collected at a depth of 1.2 m below sea level, is from a trench that exposes deposits of ancient Lake Cahuilla. The ca. 1726 earthquake occurred during a highstand of ancient Lake Cahuilla; our study site was ~55 m below the lake's surface at the time. Crustal deformation caused by the ca. 1726 earthquake has been documented for at least 85 km along the southernmost San Andreas fault zone, which has been used, alongside other observations, to constrain the earthquake's size to a magnitude 7.2 or larger with offsets on the order of ~3 m. Since the ca. 1726 earthquake, creep and triggered slip have occurred along the section of the fault we study, with estimates of ~3 mm/yr of motion over the last ~160 years.</p> <p>We acquire XRCT images at the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, on beamline 8.3.2. Imaging uses a 50 mm LuAG scintillator, PCO Edge camera, and 1X Nikon lens. We image with white light x-rays, 13 ms exposure times, and 2625 projections through 180-degree continuous sample rotations. This produces 1280 two-dimensional image slices with voxels' linear dimensions of 3.24 microns. We reconstruct images and perform ring removal, center of rotation optimizations, and outlier removal using TomoPy. We name the sample FT_50_4_ZZZZ, where ZZZZ represents the image slice number; increasing numbers represent increasing distance into the outcrop.</p>
X-ray emission study of aromaticity in heteroorganic switches
<p><strong>TNA project number:</strong> 22002856-ST<br> <br> <strong>Scientific background:</strong></p> <p>Sulphur is a key element in organic molecules, used as parts in organic electronics. To improve S based molecular devices, an understanding of their electronic structures is of vital importance. This information can be obtain by preforming X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), which provides detailed information about the occupied electronic states, oxidation numbers and atomic environment. Sulphur strong Kβ emission is caused by the transitions from molecular orbitals, including the S 3p fill, into the S 1s core hole. Valence to core XES offers high chemical sensitivity, and DFT-based calculations have indicated a high degree of responsiveness of emission spectra to the small changes in aromaticity.</p> <p>X-ray emission spectroscopy of sulphur falls in the "tender energy" X-ray region and the dedicated in-vacuum Johansson spectrometer at Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana is capable of recording high energy resolution proton induced emission spectra in this region.</p> <p><strong>Measurements performed within TNA project:</strong></p> <p>The wavelength-dispersive in-vacuum x-ray spectrometer of J. Stefan Institute (Ljubljana, Slovenia) has been used to record high energy resolution S X-ray emission spectra on a series of 11 heteroaromatic compounds and 2 reference materials. The electron structure of samples was tuned by structural variations in the bonding of the system around a thiophene unit. X-ray emission was induced with a 2MeV proton beam and Si(111) crystal analyzer was employed in the spectrometer. The samples were in a form of pressed pellets, each individually mounted on a cooled holder inside a vacuum chamber. Most of Kβ spectra were recorded over approximately 2-3 hours, with few measurements lasting over night. The experimental spectra will be used to identify molecular orbitals and assign them to individual peaks in order to confirm the validity of the calculated spectra.</p> <p><strong>Data files:</strong></p> <p>We are sharing the detector files (a series of single exposure 2D raw images) collected by the Andor DX438-BV CCD camera (770 × 1152 pixels with pixel size 22.5×22.5 μm2) after the diffraction on the crystal analyzer (Si(111)). The horizontal axis of the detector corresponds to the dispersion axis and diffracted photons are detected at different horizontal positions according to their wavelength, the vertical axis of the detector serves to accumulate more statistics. The final emission spectra are obtained from the corresponding detector files using the home-written data processing software</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th> <p>#</p> </th> <th> <p>Filename</p> </th> <th> <p>Measuring time</p> </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>1</p> </td> <td> <p>SO4.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>1.4 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>2</p> </td> <td> <p>Na2SO4.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>1.4 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>3</p> </td> <td> <p>BZS021.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>11.5 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>4</p> </td> <td> <p>BZS036.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>5</p> </td> <td> <p>D32T.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>6</p> </td> <td> <p>DBT1.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>11 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>7</p> </td> <td> <p>DBT1S.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>8</p> </td> <td> <p>GT1-219.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>9</p> </td> <td> <p>GT1-2192.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>12.5 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>10</p> </td> <td> <p>KV035.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>11</p> </td> <td> <p>KV037.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>13 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>12</p> </td> <td> <p>KV040.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>13</p> </td> <td> <p>KV041.zip</p> </td> <td> <p>2 h</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p>
