The Period Distribution of Hot Jupiters Is Not Dependent on Host Star Metallicity
The probability that a Sun-like star has a close-orbiting giant planet (period ≲1 yr) increases with stellar metallicity. Previous work provided evidence that the period distribution of close-orbiting giant planets is also linked to metallicity, hinting ...

Direct Detection of Giant Close-In Planets Around the Source Stars of Caustic-Crossing Microlensing Events [PDF]
We propose a direct method to detect close-in giant planets orbiting stars in the Galactic bulge. This method uses caustic-crossing binary microlensing events discovered by survey teams monitoring the bulge to measure light from a planet orbiting the ...

RADIAL VELOCITY OBSERVATIONS AND LIGHT CURVE NOISE MODELING CONFIRM THAT KEPLER-91b IS A GIANT PLANET ORBITING A GIANT STAR [PDF]
Kepler-91b is a rare example of a transiting hot Jupiter around a red giant star, providing the possibility to study the formation and composition of hot Jupiters under different conditions compared to main-sequence stars.

Disruption of giant molecular clouds and formation of bound star clusters under the influence of momentum stellar feedback [PDF]
Energetic feedback from star clusters plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamical evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). To study the effects of stellar feedback on the star formation efficiency of the clouds and the dynamical response of ...

Nucleosynthesis in Red Giant Stars [PDF]
The production of elements from helium-3 to fluorine in low- and intermediate-mass stars is reviewed and compared to chemical abundances observed at the surface of both red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch stars. It is highlighted that, while the trends predicted by standard models are generally well confirmed, many chemical abundances observed

Diagnostic of the Symbiotic Stars Environment by Thomson, Raman and Rayleigh Scattering Processes
Symbiotic stars are long-period interacting binaries consisting of a cool giant as the donor star and a white dwarf as the acretor. Due to acretion of the material from the giant’s stellar wind, the white dwarf becomes very hot and luminous.

Kepler-432 b: a massive warm Jupiter in a 52-day eccentric orbit transiting a giant star [PDF]
We study the Kepler object Kepler-432, an evolved star ascending the red giant branch. By deriving precise radial velocities from multi-epoch high-resolution spectra of Kepler-432 taken with the CAFE spectrograph at the 2.2 m telescope of Calar Alto ...

Do Metal-rich Stars Make Metal-rich Planets? New Insights on Giant Planet Formation from Host Star Abundances [PDF]
The relationship between the compositions of giant planets and their host stars is of fundamental interest in understanding planet formation. The solar system giant planets are enhanced above solar composition in metals, both in their visible atmospheres

We identified adaptor protein ShcD as upregulated in triple‐negative breast cancer and found its expression to be correlated with reduced patient survival and increased invasion in cell models. Using a proteomic screen, we identified novel ShcD binding partners involved in EGFR signaling pathways.
