Spectral analysis of X-rays

Spectral Modeling of X-rays from Hot Star Winds

We attempt to determine the mass-loss rates of several O stars using x-ray spectra from Chandra’s archive. Models of x-ray production in hot star winds predict broad, asymmetric emission lines, but observed lines tend to be much more symmetric. Such symmetry can be explained by either lowering the values of the mass-loss rate for these winds, or by reassessing the commonly accepted models of x-...

Chemical Analysis by X-Rays

Subject headings: galaxies: general—galaxies: spiral—X-rays: general—X-rays: galaxies—X-rays: ISM

We present results from the analysis of deep ROSAT HRI and PSPC observations of the spiral galaxy M81. The inferred total (0.5–2 keV band) luminosity of M81 is ∼ 3×10 ergs s, excluding the contribution from identified interlopers found within the D25 ellipse. The nucleus of the galaxy alone accounts for about 65% of this luminosity. The rest is due to 26 other X-ray sources (contributing ∼ 10%)...

Synthesis, X-Rays Analysis, Docking Study and Cholinesterase Inhibition Activity of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one Derivatives

In search of potent cholinesterase inhibitors, we have carried out the synthesis and biologically evaluation of various benzaldehyde based 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives. In vitro assay results revealed that all the synthesized compounds showed activity against both enzymes (AChE and BChE) and in few cases, the inhibition activity was even higher than or comp...
