Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 mag of red giant branch (RGB) stars leading ...

The Local Group Galaxy IC 1613 and its asymptotic giant branch variables [PDF]

, 2015
JHKs photometry is presented from a three-year survey of the central regions of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy IC1613. The morphologies of the colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams are discussed with particular reference to the supergiants ...

Turbulence of Tropical Cyclones: From Peristrophic to Zonostrophic

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.
Abstract Cyclostrophic rotation in the core region of tropical cyclones (TCs) imprints a distinct signature upon their turbulence structure. Its intensity is characterized by the radius of maximum wind, Rmw ${R}_{mw}$, and the azimuthal wind velocity at that radius, Umax ${U}_{max}$.

CLEAR EVIDENCE FOR THE PRESENCE OF SECOND-GENERATION ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS IN METAL-POOR GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

, 2015
Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are known to host multiple stellar populations: a first generation (FG) with a chemical pattern typical of halo field stars and a second generation (SG) enriched in Na and Al and depleted in O and Mg.

Asymptotic-Giant-Branch Models at Very Low Metallicity [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2009
AbstractIn this paper we present the evolution of a low-mass model (initial mass M = 1.5 M⊙) with a very low metal content (Z = 5 × 10−5, equivalent to [Fe/H] = –2.44). We find that, at the beginning of the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, protons are ingested from the envelope in the underlying convective shell generated by the first fully ...

Edge of Chaos Theory Unveils the First and Simplest Ever Reported Hodgkin–Huxley Neuristor

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 8, June 2025.
This manuscript presents the first and simplest ever‐reported electrical cell, which leverages one memristor on Edge of Chaos to reproduce the three‐bifurcation cascade, marking the entire life cycle from birth to extinction via All‐to‐None effect of an electrical spike, also referred to as Action Potential, across axon membranes under monotonic ...

Systematic Search for Water Fountain Candidates Using the Databases of Circumstellar Maser Sources

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Water fountains (WFs) are thought to be objects in the morphological evolution of the circumstellar envelopes of low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, transitioning from spherically symmetric to asymmetric shapes.

A test for asymptotic giant branch evolution theories: Planetary Nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

, 2015
We used a new generation of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stellar models that include dust formation in the stellar winds to find the links between evolutionary models and the observed properties of a homogeneous sample of Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC ...

The Radio Wave Polarization of Saturn Lightning Observed by Cassini

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract We investigate the polarization of the radio waves emitted by lightning in Saturn's atmosphere, which are referred to as SEDs for Saturn Electrostatic Discharges. Using the complete SED data set retrieved by Cassini's RPWS (Radio and Plasma Wave Science) instrument we found that the circular polarization of SEDs below a frequency of 2 MHz ...

Evidence of Third Dredge-up in Post-AGB Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal
To better understand the mixing and mass loss experienced by low-mass stars as they ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), I have gathered from the literature the abundances of CNO and s -process elements in post-AGB stars in Galactic globular ...
