The Spectroscopic and Photometric Study of a Star Cluster Sample in Andromeda Halo

The Astronomical Journal
Halo star clusters serve as vital tracers for the formation and evolution of the Andromeda galaxy. In this work, we present physical parameters for 29 M31 halo star clusters, derived from a combination of spectroscopic and photometric data.

Hot stars in globular clusters [PDF]

, 1995
Globular clusters are ideal laboratories to study the evolution of low-mass stars. In this review, I shall concentrate on two types of hot stars observed in globular clusters: horizontal branch stars and UV bright stars. The third type, the white dwarfs, are covered by Bono in this volume.

A search for variable stars in the globular cluster M3 [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998
We describe here results of a photometric time-sequence survey of the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272), in a search for contact and detached eclipsing binary stars. We have discovered only one likely eclipsing binary and one SX Phe type star in spite of monitoring 4077 stars with $V<20.0$ and observing 25 blue stragglers.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Rotation and Hα Emission in a Young SMC Cluster: A Spectroscopic View of NGC 330

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of high-resolution optical spectra recorded for 30 stars of the split extended main-sequence turnoff of the young (∼40 Myr) Small Magellanic Cloud globular cluster NGC 330.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Spatial Distribution of Intracluster Globular Clusters in the Fornax Cluster

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the spatial distribution of the intracluster globular clusters (ICGCs) detected in the core of the Fornax galaxy cluster. By separately modeling different components of the observed population of globular clusters (GCs), we confirm the ...

JWST/NIRCam Probes Young Star Clusters in the Reionization Era Sunrise Arc

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Star cluster formation in the early universe and its contribution to reionization remains largely unconstrained to date. Here we present JWST/NIRCam imaging of the most highly magnified galaxy known at z ∼ 6, the Sunrise arc.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

oMEGACat. III. Multiband Photometry and Metallicities Reveal Spatially Well-mixed Populations within ω Centauri’s Half-light Radius

The Astrophysical Journal
ω Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, has long been suspected to be the stripped nucleus of a dwarf galaxy that fell into the Galaxy a long time ago.
