THE CHANDRA COSMOS LEGACY SURVEY : OPTICAL/IR IDENTIFICATIONS
- 2016
-
In: Astrophysical Journal. - 0004-637X. ; 817:1
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present the catalog of optical and infrared counterparts of the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey, a 4.6 Ms Chandra program on the 2.2 deg2 of the COSMOS field, combination of 56 new overlapping observations obtained in Cycle 14 with the previous C-COSMOS survey. In this Paper we report the i, K, and 3.6 μm identifications of the 2273 X-ray point sources detected in the new Cycle 14 observations. We use the likelihood ratio technique to derive the association of optical/infrared (IR) counterparts for 97% of the X-ray sources. We also update the information for the 1743 sources detected in C-COSMOS, using new K and 3.6 μm information not available when the C-COSMOS analysis was performed. The final catalog contains 4016 X-ray sources, 97% of which have an optical/IR counterpart and a photometric redshift, while ≃54% of the sources have a spectroscopic redshift. The full catalog, including spectroscopic and photometric redshifts and optical and X-ray properties described here in detail, is available online. We study several X-ray to optical (X/O) properties: with our large statistics we put better constraints on the X/O flux ratio locus, finding a shift toward faint optical magnitudes in both soft and hard X-ray band. We confirm the existence of a correlation between X/O and the the 2-10 keV luminosity for Type 2 sources. We extend to low luminosities the analysis of the correlation between the fraction of obscured AGNs and the hard band luminosity, finding a different behavior between the optically and X-ray classified obscured fraction.

FoxK1 associated gene regulatory network in hepatic insulin action and its relationship to FoxO1 and insulin receptor mediated transcriptional regulation
- 2023

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: Insulin acts on the liver via changes in gene expression to maintain glucose and lipid homeostasis. This study aimed to the Forkhead box protein K1 (FOXK1) associated gene regulatory network as a transcriptional regulator of hepatic insulin action and to determine its role versus FoxO1 and possible actions of the insulin receptor at the DNA level.Methods: Genome-wide analysis of FoxK1 binding were studied by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and compared to those for IR and FoxO1. These were validated by knockdown experiments and gene expression analysis.Results: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing shows that FoxK1 binds to the proximal promoters and enhancers of over 4000 genes, and insulin enhances this interaction for about 75% of them. These include genes involved in cell cycle, senescence, steroid biosynthesis, autophagy, and metabolic regulation, including glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function and are enriched in a TGTTTAC consensus motif. Some of these genes are also bound by FoxO1. Comparing this FoxK1 ChIP-seq data to that of the insulin receptor (IR) reveals that FoxK1 may act as the transcription factor partner for some of the previously reported roles of IR in gene regulation, including for LARS1 and TIMM22, which are involved in rRNA processing and cell cycle.Conclusion: These data demonstrate that FoxK1 is an important regulator of gene expression in response to insulin in liver and may act in concert with FoxO1 and IR in regulation of genes in metabolism and other important biological pathways.(c) 2023 The Authors.

An Old Stellar Population or Diffuse Nebular Continuum Emission Discovered in Green Pea Galaxies
- 2021
-
In: Astrophysical Journal Letters. - : American Astronomical Society. - 2041-8205 .- 2041-8213. ; 912:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We use new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of nine Green Pea galaxies (GPGs) to study their resolved structure and color. The choice of filters, F555W and F850LP, together with the redshift of the galaxies (z ∼ 0.25), minimizes the contribution of the nebular [O iii] and Hα emission lines to the broadband images. While these galaxies are typically very blue in color, our analysis reveals that it is only the dominant stellar clusters that are blue. Each GPG does clearly show the presence of at least one bright and compact star-forming region, but these are invariably superimposed on a more extended and lower surface brightness emission. Moreover, the colors of the star-forming regions are on average bluer than those of the diffuse emission, reaching up to 0.6 magnitudes bluer. Assuming that the diffuse and compact components have constant and single-burst star formation histories, respectively, the observed colors imply that the diffuse components (possibly the host galaxy of the star formation episode) have, on average, old stellar ages (>1 Gyr), while the star clusters are younger than 500 Myr. While a redder stellar component is perhaps the most plausible explanation for these results, the limitations of our current data set lead us to examine possible alternative mechanisms, particularly recombination emission processes, which are unusually prominent in systems with such strong line emission. With the available data, however, it is not possible to distinguish between these two interpretations. A substantial presence of old stars would indicate that the mechanisms allowing large escape fractions in these local galaxies may be different from those at play during the reionization epoch.
