Post-AGB Binaries as Interacting Systems

open access: yesGalaxies
We present recent progress in our understanding of the physical interaction mechanisms at work in evolved binaries of low-to-intermediate initial mass, which are surrounded by a stable disc of gas and dust.

Of Biogeography, Fishes and Kelp: Environmental DNA Metabarcoding the Great African Seaforest

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The biodiversity associated with kelp forest ecosystems is understudied globally, including in South Africa, where kelp forests have expanded their range under climate change. This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess fish biodiversity across an expansive range (~1000 km) of South Africa's kelp forests, contributing ...

HACA's Heritage: A Free-Radical Pathway to Phenanthrene in Circumstellar Envelopes of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars.

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2017
The hydrogen-abstraction/acetylene-addition (HACA) mechanism has been central for the last decades in attempting to rationalize the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as detected in carbonaceous meteorites such as in Murchison ...

The stellar spectral features of nearby galaxies in the near infrared: tracers of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We analyze the stellar absorption features in high signal-to-noise ratio near-infrared (NIR) spectra of the nuclear region of 12 nearby galaxies, mostly spirals.

Quantum Batteries: A Materials Science Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 17, April 28, 2025.
This perspective is focused on advanced materials that might allow the new device class of quantum batteries to be developed. These systems include microcavities with organic molecules, inorganic nanostructures and perovskites, and superconductor circuits.

Evolution and nucleosynthesis of helium-rich asymptotic giant branch models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There is now strong evidence that some stars have been born with He mass fractions as high as $Y \approx 0.40$ (e.g., in $\omega$ Centauri). However, the advanced evolution, chemical yields, and final fates of He-rich stars are largely unexplored.

On the Pre‐ and Post‐Positional Semi‐Random Graph Processes

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 819-831, April 2025.
ABSTRACT We study the semi‐random graph process, and a variant process recently suggested by Nick Wormald. We show that these two processes are asymptotically equally fast in constructing a semi‐random graph G $G$ that has property P ${\mathscr{P}}$, for the following examples of P ${\mathscr{P}}$: (1) P ${\mathscr{P}}$ is the set of graphs containing ...

Pulsating stars in the VMC survey

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) began observations in 2009 and since then, it has collected multi-epoch data at Ks and in addition multi-band data in Y and J for a wide range of stellar populations across the Magellanic system ...

Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds. II. Spectroscopic and Environmental Analysis of Thorne–Żytkow Object and Super-AGB Star Candidates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super ...

Slow Neutron-Capture Process: Low-Mass Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars and Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Presolar grains are microscopic dust grains that formed in the stellar winds or explosions of ancient stars that died before the formation of the solar system.
