A hot and fast ultra-stripped supernova that likely formed a compact neutron star binary [PDF]

Science, 2018
Explosive origin of a binary neutron star Some types of core-collapse supernovae are known to produce a neutron star (NS). A binary NS merger was recently detected from its gravitational wave emission, but it is unclear how such a tight binary system can

Pre‐Diagnostic Features of Multiple Sclerosis in a Diverse UK Cohort: A Nested Case–Control Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Many patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) experience nonspecific symptoms prior to diagnosis. This period—the 'MS prodrome'—has been described in socio‐economically homogeneous cohorts to date. It remains unclear to what extent events prior to an MS diagnosis differ according to social determinants of health. Methods We conducted a

Genetic Modifiers of Parkinson's Disease: A Case–Control Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the associations of LRRK2 p.G2019S, GBA1 p.N409S, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and APOE E4 on PD penetrance, risk, and symptoms. Methods We conducted a US‐based observational case–control study using data from the 23andMe Inc. and Fox Insight Genetic Substudy (FIGS) databases.

Hidden Binaries in Star-forming Regions

The Astrophysical Journal
A significant fraction of, and possibly all, stars form in binary or multiple systems. For solar-mass stars in the Galactic field, the distribution of orbital separations is log-normal over 7 orders of magnitude, from 10 ^−2  to 10 ^5 au.

Hot subdwarf formation: Confronting theory with observation

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The formation of hot subdwarf stars is still unclear. Both single-star and binary scenarios have been proposed to explain the properties of these evolved stars situated at the extreme blue end of the horizontal branch. The observational evidence gathered

A NICER Viewing Angle on the Accretion Stream of Vela X-1

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Vela X-1 is the archetypal eclipsing high-mass X-ray binary, composed of a neutron star (NS) accreting the B-star wind. It was observed by nearly all X-ray observatories, often multiple times, featuring a rich spectrum of variable emission lines. However,

The enigmatic central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1

, 2012
The central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1 (PN G243.8-37.1) was previously found to be variable by M. Pena and colleagues. As part of a larger programme aimed towards finding post common-envelope binary central stars we have monitored the central ...
