    • X-CAPM: An Extrapolative Capital Asset Pricing Model 

      Barberis, Nicholas; Greenwood, Robin Marc; Jin, Lawrence; Shleifer, Andrei (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2013)
      Survey evidence suggests that many investors form beliefs about future stock market returns by extrapolating past returns. Such beliefs are hard to reconcile with existing models of the aggregate stock market. We study a ...
    • X-ray absorption and re-emission from an ionized outflow in the Type 1 quasi-stellar object 2MASS 234449+1221 observed by XMM-Newton 

      Pounds, K. A.; Wilkes, Belinda Jane; Page, K. L. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005)
      We report on the analysis of a short XMM-Newton observation of the reddened Type 1 QSO 2MASS 234449+1221 first identified in the Two Micron All-Sky Survey. The underlying X-ray continuum is found to be typical of a broad-line ...
    • X-Ray Absorption by the Hot Intergalactic Medium 

      Perna, Rosalba; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 1998)
      The current census of observed baryons in the local universe is still missing a significant fraction of them according to standard big bang nucleosynthesis. Numerical simulations predict that most of the missing baryons ...

      3C 351 (z = 0.371), and X-ray-'quiet' quasar, is one of the few quasars showing signs of a 'warm absorber' in its X-ray spectrum; i.e., partially ionized absorbing material in the line of sight whose opacity depends on its ...

      The protein kinase ERK5 (MAPK7) is an emerging drug target for a variety of indications, in particular for cancer where it plays a key role mediating cell proliferation, survival, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and ...
    • X-Ray Emission from the First Quasars 

      Haiman, Zoltan; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 1999)
      It is currently unknown whether the universe was reionized by quasars or stars at z greater than or similar to 5. We point out that quasars can be best distinguished from stellar systems by their X-ray emission. Based on ...

      Becker, R. S.; Golovchenko, Jene Andrew; Patel, J. R. (American Physical Society (APS), 1983)
      The presence and properties of x-ray evanescent waves are demonstrated detecting their absorption and their excitation in the vicinity of a target surface. The role of microscopic reversibility in relating the two cases ...
