Born to Be Wide: The Distribution of Wide Binaries in the Field and Soft Binaries in Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Most stars, binaries, and higher-multiplicity systems are thought to form in stellar clusters and associations that later dissociate. Very wide binaries can be easily disrupted in clusters due to dynamical evaporation (soft binaries) and/or tidal ...

Surveying Planetary Nebulae Central Stars for Close Binaries: Constraining Evolution of Central Stars Based on Binary Parameters

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The increase in discovered close binary central stars of planetary nebulae is leading to a sufficiently large sample to begin to make broader conclusions about the effect of close binary stars on common envelope evolution and planetary nebula formation ...

A Search for Exoplanets in Short-Period Binary Star Systems [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012
This paper reports the progress of a search for exoplanets with S-type orbits in short-period binary star systems. The selected targets have stellar orbital periods of just a few days. These systems are eclipsing binaries so that exoplanet transits, if

Mass Ratio of Single-line Spectroscopic Binaries with Visual Orbits Using Bayesian Inference and Suitable Priors

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present orbital elements for 22 single-line binaries, nine of them studied for the first time, determined from a joint spectroscopic and astrometric solution.

CW Cas: A Solar-type Contact Binary System with an Unseen Third Companion in a Hierarchical Quadruple System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive multiband photometric and spectroscopic study of the G-type binary CW Cas. Analysis of its double-lined spectroscopic radial velocity curves yields a reliable mass ratio of q  = 1.88(9).

Ultracompact binary stars [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Today, 2006
Double stars with tight, rapid orbits enable astronomers to study issues ranging from binary-star evolution to the internal structure of white dwarfs and neutron stars. In addition, they may emit directly observable gravitational waves.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Binary Star Orbits. VI. The Interferometric-spectroscopic Binary 73 Leo

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Discordances in radial-velocity measurements of 73 Leonis, made more than a century ago, gave rise to the first suggestion that this fifth-magnitude star was a binary system, but it was 40 yr before an accurate investigation of the object commenced, and ...
