CO observations of candidates for carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch and post-asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
Circumstellar CO emission has been detected in a number of featureless or weak SiC emission, low color temperature IRAS sources. The CO detections confirm the suggestion that these are either extreme carbon stars, carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs), or carbon-rich planetary nebulae (PNs).

Blueprint for a Universal Theory of Learning to Read: The Combinatorial Model
The Reading Tree. Abstract In this essay, I outline some of the essential ingredients of a universal theory of reading acquisition, one that seeks to highlight commonalities while embracing the global diversity of languages, writing systems, and cultures.

New light on Galactic post-asymptotic giant branch stars - I. First distance catalogue [PDF]
We have commenced a detailed analysis of the known sample of Galactic post-asymptotic giant branch (PAGB) objects compiled in the Toru´ n catalogue of Szczerba et al., and present, for the first time, homogeneously derived distance determinations for the

Topographic Drag at the Core‐Mantle Interface
Abstract The length of day variations with periods from five to one hundred years are mainly due to core‐mantle interactions. Assuming a differential velocity between the core and the mantle, we investigate the pressure coupling on a core‐mantle boundary (CMB) interface with topography. Including rotation, buoyancy, and magnetic effects in local models

Ba Enrichment in Gaia MS+WD Binaries: Tracing s-process Element Production
A large population of intermediate-separation binaries, consisting of a main-sequence (MS) star and a white dwarf (WD), recently emerged from Gaia’s third data release (DR3), posing challenges to current models of binary evolution. Here we examine the s -

Evolution of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars - I. The COLIBRI code [PDF]
We present the COLIBRI code for computing the evolution of stars along the TP-AGB phase. Compared to purely synthetic TP-AGB codes, COLIBRI relaxes a significant part of their analytic formalism in favour of a detailed physics applied to a complete ...

The origin of the spurious iron spread in the globular cluster NGC 3201
NGC 3201 is a globular cluster suspected to have an intrinsic spread in the iron content. We re-analysed a sample of 21 cluster stars observed with UVES-FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope and for which Simmerer et al.
