QSO Lifetimes

The QSO lifetime tQ is one of the most fundamental quantities for understanding black hole and QSO evolution, yet it remains uncertain by several orders of magnitude. If tQ is long, then only a small fraction of galaxies went through a luminous QSO phase. In contrast, a short lifetime would require most galaxies today to have undergone a QSO phase in their youth. The current best estimates or c...

Tryptophan fluorescence lifetimes in lysozyme.

Tryptophan fluorescence lifetimes at pH 2 and pH 8 have been obtained for lysozyme and for lysozyme derivatives in which tryptophan-62 or tryptophan-108 or both are nonfluorescent. The lifetimes range from about 0.5 ns to 2.8 ns for the various emitting tryptophans. The tryptophan lifetimes appear to increase with exposure of tryptophan to solvent, but intramolecular contacts, probably with cys...

Radiative lifetimes in Co I

New radiative-lifetime measurements based on time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence are reported for 133 odd-parity and 2 even-parity levels of Co I, ranging in energy from 28 300 to 59 400 cm–1. Our lifetimes agree with earlier, but much less extensive, lifetime measurements based on laser-induced fluorescence. Satisfactory agreement is also found with the critical compilation of atomic tran...
