Tracing the accretion history of supermassive black holes through X-ray variability: results from the Chandra Deep Field-South

This article studies the X-ray variability properties of distant active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the Chandra Deep Field-South region over 17 yr, up to z ~ 4, and compare them with those predicted by models based on local samples.

Black Hole Growth Is Mainly Linked to Host-galaxy Stellar Mass Rather Than Star Formation Rate (open access)

Black Hole Growth Is Mainly Linked to Host-galaxy Stellar Mass Rather Than Star Formation Rate

This article investigates the dependence of black hole accretion rate (BHAR) on host-galaxy star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass in the CANDELS/GOODS-South field in the redshift range of 0.5 ⩽ z < 2.0.

Low-temperature UV photoluminescence of ion beam synthesized Si nanoclusters embedded in Si (open access)

Low-temperature UV photoluminescence of ion beam synthesized Si nanoclusters embedded in Si

This article explores Ultraviolet (UV) photoluminescence (PL) data taken on a double Au implanted Si matrix and studied over a wide temperature range of 28-220K. The results of this study at lower temperatures indicate the emission to be coming from Si nanoclusters (NCs) embedded in the matrix.
