Quasi-periodic oscillations under wavelet microscope: the application of Matching Pursuit algorithm (2009)

Lachowicz, Pawel, Done, Chris

We zoom in on the internal structure of the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (LF QPO) often observed in black hole binary systems to investigate the physical nature of the lack of coherence...

Wavelet analysis: a new significance test for signals dominated by intrinsic red-noise variability (2009)

Lachowicz, Pawel

We develop a new statistical test for the wavelet power spectrum. We design it with purpose of testing signals which intrinsic variability displays in a Fourier domain a red-noise component described...

Wavelet analysis of MCG-6-30-15 and NGC 4051: a possible discovery of QPOs in 2:1 and 3:2 resonance (2006)

Lachowicz, Pawel, Czerny, Bozena, Abramowicz, Marek A.

Following our previous work of Lachowicz & Czerny (2005), we explore further the application of the continuous wavelet transform to X-ray astronomical signals. Using the public archive of the...

Periodic long-term X-ray and radio variability of Cygnus X-1 (2005)

Lachowicz, Pawel, Zdziarski, Andrzej A., Schwarzenberg-Czerny, Alex, Pooley, Guy G., Kitamoto, Shunji

We present a comprehensive analysis of long-term periodic variability of Cyg X-1 using the method of multiharmonic analysis of variance (mhAoV) applied to available monitoring data since 1969, in...

Wavelet analysis of millisecond variability of Cygnus X-1 during its failed state transition (2004)

Lachowicz, Pawel, Czerny, Bozena

Application of multi-resolution analysis adopting wavelets in order to investigate millisecond aperiodic X-ray variability of Cyg X-1 is presented. This relatively new approach in a time-series...

Membrane Hydrocarbon Thickness Modulates the Dynamics of a Membrane Transport Protein

Xu, Qi, Kim, Miyeon, Ho, K. W. David, Lachowicz, Pawel, Fanucci, Gail E., Cafiso, David S.

Nitroxide spin labels were incorporated into selected sites within the β-barrel of the bacterial outer-membrane transport protein BtuB by site-directed mutagenesis, followed by chemical modification...
