Hydrodynamics and Survivability during Post-main-sequence Planetary Engulfment
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The engulfment of substellar bodies (SBs), such as brown dwarfs and planets, by giant stars is a possible explanation for rapidly rotating giants, lithium-rich giants, and the presence of SBs in close orbits around subdwarfs and white dwarfs.

Impact of the extinct megaherbivore Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) on kelp forest resilience
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Giant kelp forests off the west coast of North America are maintained primarily by sea otter (Enhydra lutris) and sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) predation of sea urchins.

Can Life develop in the expanded habitable zones around Red Giant Stars?
, 2005 We present some new ideas about the possibility of life developing around sub-giant and red giant stars. Our study concerns the temporal evolution of the habitable zone.

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

A magnetically driven origin for the low luminosity GRB 170817A associated with GW170817
, 2018 The gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A associated with GW170817 is subluminous and subenergetic compared with other typical short GRBs. It may be due to a relativistic jet viewed off-axis, or a structured jet, or cocoon emission. Giant flares from magnetars may

WASP 1628+10 – an EL CVn-type binary with a very low mass stripped red giant star and multiperiodic pulsations [PDF]
, 2014 The star 1SWASP J162842.31+101416.7 (WASP 1628+10) is one of several EL CVn-type stars recently identified using the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) data base, i.e. an eclipsing binary star in which an A-type dwarf star (WASP 1628+10 A) eclipses the

A giant exoplanet orbiting a very-low-mass star challenges planet formation models [PDF]
Science, 2019 A small star hosts a big planet M dwarfs, the most common type of star, are low-mass objects that emit most of their faint light in the near-infrared, making it difficult to detect any orbiting exoplanets. Morales et al.

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

POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THE G2 CLOUD FROM THE TIDAL DISRUPTION OF A KNOWN GIANT STAR BY SGR A* [PDF]
, 2014 The discovery of the gas cloud G2 on a near-radial orbit about Sgr A* has prompted much speculation on its origin. In this Letter, we propose that G2 formed out of the debris stream produced by the removal of mass from the outer envelope of a nearby ...
