Giant Star-Shaped Nitrogen-Doped Nanographenes [PDF]

open access: goldAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018
Star-shaped nanographenes are large monodisperse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that extend in size beyond the nanometer and have shown a lot of promise in a wide range of applications including electronics, energy conversion and sensing. Herein we report a new family of giant star-shaped N-doped nanographenes with diameters up to 6.5 nm. Furthermore,

ROTATION OF GIANT STARS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2015
The internal rotation of post-main sequence stars is investigated, in response to the convective pumping of angular momentum toward the stellar core, combined with a tight magnetic coupling between core and envelope. The spin evolution is calculated using model stars of initial mass 1, 1.5 and $5\,M_\odot$, taking into account mass loss on the giant ...

Precise radial velocities of giant stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2006
Context: Future astrometric missions such as SIM PlanetQuest need very stable reference stars. K giants have large luminosities, which place them at large distances and thus the jitter of their photocenters by companions is relatively small. Therefore K giants would be best suited as references.

Stellar loci IV. red giant stars [PDF]

open access: yesResearch in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021
Abstract In the fourth paper of this series, we present the metallicity-dependent Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) stellar color loci of red giant stars, using a spectroscopic sample of red giants in the SDSS Stripe 82 region. The stars span a range of 0.55 – 1.2 mag in color g – i, –0.3 – –2.5 in metallicity [Fe/H], and have values of ...

The Star-Beings and stones: Petroforms and the reflection of Native American cosmology, myth and stellar traditions

open access: yesJournal of Lithic Studies, 2017
Native American myths, legends and oral traditions are rich with stories of giant beings existing in ancient times. They all talk of giant Thunderers or Thunder-beings, giant snakes and great Thunderbirds.

Kepler-432: a red giant interacting with one of its two long period giant planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report the discovery of Kepler-432b, a giant planet ($M_b = 5.41^{+0.32}_{-0.18} M_{\rm Jup}, R_b = 1.145^{+0.036}_{-0.039} R_{\rm Jup}$) transiting an evolved star $(M_\star = 1.32^{+0.10}_{-0.07} M_\odot, R_\star = 4.06^{+0.12}_{-0.08} R_\odot ...

Giant star-forming clumps?

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2020
ABSTRACT With the spatial resolution of the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA), dusty galaxies in the distant Universe typically appear as single, compact blobs of dust emission, with a median half-light radius, ≈1 kpc. Occasionally, strong gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies or galaxy clusters has probed spatial scales 1–2 ...

Wobbling Jets in Common Envelope Evolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We find that the convective motion in the envelopes of red supergiant (RSG) stars supplies a non-negligible stochastic angular momentum to the mass that a secondary star accretes in a common envelope evolution (CEE), such that jets that the secondary ...
