A New Observational Upper Limit to the Low Redshift Ionizing Background Radiation
We report a new Fabry-Perot search for Hα emission from the intergalactic cloud HI 1225+01 in an attempt to measure the low redshift ionizing background radiation. We set a new 2σ upper limit on Hα emission of 8 mR (5 × 10 ergs cm s arcsec). Conversion of this limit to limits on the strength of
متن کاملCellular response to ionizing radiation: A microRNA story
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. Ionizing radiation (IR) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. Recently it has been discovered that mi...
متن کاملThe Effects of the Ionizing Radiation Background on Galaxy Evolution
We find that the amount and nature of the assumed ionizing background can strongly affect galaxy formation and evolution. Galaxy evolution simulations typically incorporate an ultraviolet background which falls off rapidly above z = 3; e.g., that of Haardt & Madau (1996). However, this decline may be too steep to fit the WMAP constraints on electron scattering optical depth or observations of i...

متن کاملBelow-Background Ionizing Radiation as an Environmental Cue for Bacteria
All organisms on earth grow under the influence of a natural and relatively constant dose of ionizing radiation referred to as background radiation, and so cells have different mechanisms to prevent the accumulation of damage caused by its different components. However, current knowledge of the deleterious effects of radiation on cells is based on the exposure to acute and high or to chronic, a...
