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 ...

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 ...

Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds. II. Spectroscopic and Environmental Analysis of Thorne–Żytkow Object and Super-AGB Star Candidates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super ...

The Primordial Abundance of $^6$Li and $^9$be [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Light element ($^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^9$Be) depletion isochrones for halo stars have been calculated with standard stellar evolution models. These models include the latest available opacities and are computed through the sub-giant branch. If $^6$Li is not

Planets, Planetary Nebulae, and Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs)

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
I review some aspects related to the influence of planets on the evolution of stars before and beyond the main sequence. Some processes include the tidal destruction of a planet on to a very young main sequence star, on to a low-mass main sequence star ...

Planetary Engulfment Prognosis within the ρ CrB System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Exoplanets have been detected around stars at various stages of their lives, ranging from young stars emerging from formation to the latter stages of evolution, including white dwarfs and neutron stars.

Neutron stars are giant hypernuclei? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1985
Neutron stars are studied in the framework of Lagrangian field theory of interacting nucleons, hyperons, and mesons, which is solved in the mean field approximation. The theory is constrained to account for the four bulk properties of nuclear matter; the saturation binding and density, compressibility, and charge symmetry energy.

Asteroseismology of KIC 8263801:Is it a member of NGC 6866 and a red clump star? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We present an asteroseismic analysis of the Kepler light curve of KIC 8263801, a red-giant star in the open cluster NGC 6866 that has previously been reported to be a helium-burning red-clump star.

The properties of the Malin 1 galaxy giant disk: A panchromatic view from the NGVS and GUViCS surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) represent a significant percentage of local galaxies but their formation and evolution remain elusive. They may hold crucial information for our understanding of many key issues (i.e., census of baryonic and dark ...
