MODEL ATMOSPHERES OF PECULAR CARBON GIANTS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2008
We calculated 240 model atmospheres of carbon giants of high carbon abundances (2800 ≤ Teff ≤ 3400 K, 0.06 ≤ log(C/O) ≤ 2.7). The set of models was calculated in process of analysis by spectral synthesis of spectral energy distribution of the evolved ...

Insights into AGB Nucleosynthesis Thanks to Spectroscopic Abundance Measurements in Intrinsic and Extrinsic Stars

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
The foundations of stellar nucleosynthesis have been established more than 70 years ago. Since then, much progress has been made, both on the theoretical side, with stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis models of increasing complexity, using more and ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

A new search for R Coronae Borealis stars in the SMC

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are rare, and their evolutionary origin is not well understood. Since they are obscured due to formation of carbon dust around the star during their mass loss events, RCB stars can be classified as self-eclipsing variable ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Carbon Stars from Gaia Data Release 3 and the Space Density of Dwarf Carbon Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Carbon stars (with atmospheric C/O > 1) range widely in temperature and luminosity, from low-mass dwarfs to asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The main-sequence dwarf carbon (dC) stars have inherited carbon-rich material from an AGB companion, which ...

UIR Bands in Carbon Star Spectra [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 1997
Unidentified infrared emission bands (UIR bands) have been attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are believed to require ultraviolet radiation in order for the UIR bands to be excited. If, in addition to amorphous carbon and hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) particles, PAHs are able to form in the outflows of cool carbon-rich ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH VARIABLES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Asymptotic Giant Branch variable are the brightest and most distinctive individual stars to be found in the resolved, old and inter mediate age, stellar populations of galaxies in the Local Group and beyond.

CARBON STARS IN THE SATELLITES AND HALO OF M31 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT We spectroscopically identify a sample of carbon stars in the satellites and halo of M31 using moderate-resolution optical spectroscopy from the Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda’s Stellar Halo survey. We present the photometric properties of our sample of 41 stars, including their brightness with respect to ...
