Spinning up an extragalactic neutron star Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) are strange objects in other galaxies that cannot be explained by conventional accretion onto stellar-mass objects. This has led to exotic interpretations, such as the long-sought intermediate-mass black holes. Israel et al. observed a ULX nearby galaxy NGC 5907 and found it is instead star. The spinning accreting material so fast its spin period quickly accelerating. only way can consume enough explain these...
Abstract We discovered 2.8 s pulsations in the X-ray emission of ultraluminous source (ULX) M51 ULX-7 within UNSEeN project, which was designed to hunt for new pulsating ULXs (PULXs) with XMM-Newton. The pulse shape is sinusoidal, and large variations its amplitude were observed even single exposures (pulsed fraction from less than 5% 20%). Source variable, generally at an luminosity between 10 39 40 erg −1 , located outskirts spiral galaxy M51a a distance 8.6 Mpc. According our analysis,...
Abstract. The e-Science environment developed in the framework of EU-funded DRIHM project was used to demonstrate its ability provide relevant, meaningful hydrometeorological forecasts. This illustrated for tragic case 4 November 2011, when Genoa, Italy, flooded as result heavy, convective precipitation that inundated Bisagno catchment. Meteorological Model Bridge (MMB), an innovative software component within interoperability meteorological and hydrological models, is a key environment. MMB...
Cloud computing opens new perspectives for small-medium biotechnology laboratories that need to perform bioinformatics analysis in a flexible and effective way. This seems particularly true hybrid clouds couple the scalability offered by general-purpose public with greater control ad hoc customizations supplied private ones. A cloud broker, acting as an intermediary between users providers, can support customers selection of most suitable offers, optionally adding provisioning dedicated...
The distributed research infrastructure for hydrometeorology (DRIHM) project focuses on the development of an e-Science to provide end-to-end hydro meteorological (HMR) services (models, data, and post processing tools) by exploiting HPC, Grid Cloud facilities. In particular, DRIHM supports execution analysis high-resolution simulations through definition workflows composed heterogeneous HMR models in a scalable interoperable way, while hiding all low level complexities. This contribution...
Abstract This paper summarizes Geant4 contribution to scientific research over the past 25 years through a scientometric analysis of results with which it has been associated. The data collected from scholarly literature and databases are evaluated methods pertaining econometrics ecology quantify relevant traits, diversity disparity in their geographic distributions, identify statistically significant trends. reviews field — experimental particle physics that originally motivated its...
Geant4 is an object-oriented toolkit for the simulation of passage particles through matter. Its development was initially motivated by requirements physics experiments at high energy hadron colliders under construction in last decade 20th century. Since its release 1998, it has been exploited many different applicative fields, including space science, nuclear physics, medical and archaeology. valuable support to scientific discovery demonstrated more than 16000 citations received past 25...
Human activity depends on the oceans for food, transportation, leisure, and many more purposes. Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface, but most them are unknown to humankind. This is reason why underwater imaging a valuable resource asset Marine Science. Images acquired with observing systems, e.g. autonomous vehicles or observatories, that presently transmit all raw data land stations. However, transfer such an amount could be challenging, considering limited power supply transmission...
Emerging technologies for structure matching based on surface descriptions have demonstrated their effectiveness in many research fields. In particular, they can be successfully applied to silico studies of structural biology. Protein activities, fact, are related the external characteristics these macromolecules and ability match surfaces important infer information about possible functions interactions. this work, we present a surface-matching algorithm, encoding outer morphology proteins...
Energy consumption is one of the major issues in today’s computer science, and an increasing number scientific communities are interested evaluating tradeoff between time-to-solution energy-to-solution. Despite, last two decades, computing which revolved around centralized infrastructures, such as supercomputing data centers, wide adoption Internet Things (IoT) paradigm currently inverting this trend due to huge amount it generates, pushing power back places where generated—the so-called...
Predicting weather and climate its impacts on the environment, including hazards such as floods landslides, is a big challenge that can be efficiently supported by distributed heterogeneous infrastructure, exploiting several kinds of computational resources: HPC, Grids Clouds. This help researchers in speeding up experiments, improve resolution accuracy, simulate with different numerical models model chains. Such are complex heavy requirements, huge numbers parameters to tune, not fully...
Abstract During a search for coherent signals in the X-ray archival data of XMM–Newton, we discovered modulation at 1.2 s 3XMM J004301.4+413017 (3X J0043), source lying direction an external arm M 31. This short period indicates neutron star (NS). Between 2000 and 2013, position 3X J0043 was imaged by public XMM–Newton observations 35 times. The analysis these allowed us to detect orbital 1.27 d study long-term properties source. emission pulsar rather hard (most spectra are described power...
The EXTraS project to explore the X-ray Transient and variable Sky searches for coherent signals in archival data of XMM-Newton. XMM-Newton performed more than 400 pointed observations region Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We inspected results period search systematically look new pulsators our neighbour galaxy. analysed two sources from 3XMM catalogue which show significant pulsations. J051259.8-682640 was detected as source with hard spectrum observations, revealing a periodic modulation...
