The origins of neutron-capture elements in globular cluster M22
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesIntroductionThe chemical abundances of metal poor (MP) stars in globular clusters provide valuable information for constraining their evolutionary scenarios.MethodsUsing both main r-process and weak r-process patterns, we fit the abundances of s-poor ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991 Recent results on low mass AGB stars are presented. Observed amounts of AGB mass loss imply that thermal pulses will only be encountered for stars of initial mass less than about 4M⊙ for Pop I and 3 M⊙ for Pop II. Mc – L, Me – τif, and Mc – Tb relations are summarized.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesWhite dwarf–main sequence (WDMS) binaries provide important laboratories for studying binary evolution and the formation of low-mass white dwarfs. In this work, we identify 654 reliable WDMS candidates with FGK-type companions from an initial set of 772 ...

The properties of low-metallicity massive stars [PDF]
, 2014 My thesis has two main topics: the study of low-metallicity massive stars, and the study of the suspected final stage of massive stars from a certain initial mass range, the WO stars.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Among presolar grains, oxide ones are made of oxygen, aluminum, and a small fraction of magnesium, produced by the 26Al decay. The largest part of presolar oxide grains belong to the so-called group 1 and 2, which have been suggested to form in Red Giant

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Tidally Delayed Spin-Down of Very Low Mass Stars
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsVery low-mass main-sequence stars reveal some curious trends in observed rotation period distributions that require abating the spin-down that standard rotational evolution models would otherwise imply.

Selected topics in the evolution of low-mass stars
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Low-mass stars play a key role in many different areas of astrophysics. In this article, I provide a brief overview of the evolution of low-mass stars, and discuss some of the uncertainties and problems currently affecting low-mass stellar models ...
