We report on our analysis of a 20 ks Chandra X-ray observation of the quasi-persistent neutron star soft X-ray transient (SXT) 1M 1716−315 in quiescence. Only one source was detected in the HEAO-1 error region. Its luminosity is 1.6 × 1032–1.3 × 1033 erg s−1. In this, the range is dominated by the uncertainty in the source distance. The source spectrum is well described by an absorbed soft spec...

INTRODUCTION Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum cell wall active agent that inhibits the MurA enzyme involved in peptidoglycan synthesis and is FDA-approved for treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis in women. Data regarding the susceptibility of recent UTI isolates to fosfomycin are limited. METHODS This study compared the ...

By using the method presented by Isobe et al. (2002), the non-dimensional reconnection rate vin/vA has been determined for the impulsive phase of three two-ribbon flares, where vin is the velocity of the reconnection inflow and vA is the Alfvén velocity. The non-dimensional reconnection rate is important to make a constraint on the theoretical models of magnetic reconnection. In order to reduce...

The results of an analysis of joint SOHO/CDS and Yohkoh/SXT observations of a decaying post–flare loops system with a rapid time evolution are presented. The loop system was a remnant of a small single loop flare (GOES class C2.9). Using the CDS raster taken in several EUV lines with different formation temperatures and a temperature sensitive line pair Fe XVI 360.8/Si XII 520.7 we confirmed th...

A solar flare was observed on 1997 April 7 with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on Yohkoh. The flare was associated with a “halo” coronal mass ejection (CME). The flaring region showed areas of reduced soft X-ray (SXR) brightness—“dimmings”—that developed prior to the CME observed in white light and persisted for several hours following the CME. The most prominent dimming regions were located ne...
