No Evidence for More Earth-sized Planets in the Habitable Zone of Kepler's M versus FGK Stars

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Reliable detections of Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone remain elusive in the Kepler sample, even for M dwarfs. The Kepler sample was once thought to contain a considerable number of M-dwarf stars ( T _eff < 4000 K), which hosted enough Earth ...

NFYB Integrates Hormonal Signals into Tissue Allometry by Promoting Protein Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the American cockroach, NFYB acts as a spatiotemporin that translates distinct hormonal cues into tissue‐specific allometry. Juvenile hormone activates NFYB in the early fat body, while 20‐hydroxyecdysone induces it in late wing pads. NFYB then promotes protein biosynthesis via core translational machinery, driving differential growth across the ...

EDGE-INFERNO: Simulating Every Observable Star in Faint Dwarf Galaxies and Their Consequences for Resolved-star Photometric Surveys

The Astrophysical Journal
Interpretation of data from faint dwarf galaxies is made challenging by observations limited to only the brightest stars. We present a major improvement to tackle this challenge by undertaking zoomed cosmological simulations that resolve the evolution of

CARBON-TO-OXYGEN RATIOS IN M DWARFS AND SOLAR-TYPE STARS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT It has been suggested that high C/O ratios (>0.8) in circumstellar disks lead to the formation of carbon-dominated planets. Based on the expectation that elemental abundances in the stellar photospheres give the initial abundances in the circumstellar disks, the frequency distributions of C/O ratios of solar-type stars have ...

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Precise Mass, Orbital Motion, and Stellar Properties of the M-dwarf Binary LP 349−25AB

The Astrophysical Journal
LP 349−25 is a well-studied close stellar binary system comprised of two late M dwarf stars, where both stars are close to the limit between star and brown dwarf. This system was previously identified as a source of gigahertz radio emission.

Shock formation around planets orbiting M‐dwarf stars [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2011
AbstractBow shocks can be formed around planets due to their interaction with the coronal medium of the host stars. The net velocity of the particles impacting on the planet determines the orientation of the shock. At the Earth's orbit, the (mainly radial) solar wind is primarily responsible for the formation of a shock facing towards the Sun. However,

Systematic Position Mapping of Split CRISPR‐Cas12a Activators Enables Highly Sensitive miRNA Detection and Cancer Cell Stratification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amplification‐free Cas12a diagnostics with split crRNA enable rapid and programmable target recognition, yet insufficient understanding of DNA activator architecture prevents predictable control over trans‐cleavage activity and sensitivity. Here we systematically map over 200 split DNA activator configurations by introducing nicks at every ...

Reconciliation of M Dwarf and FGK Stellar Abundances with Galactic Chemical Evolution

The Astrophysical Journal
Previous studies report apparent chemical abundance discrepancies between M dwarfs and FGK stars in the solar neighborhood, raising questions about the origin of these differences. Using a statistical pipeline, we revisit whether M dwarf abundance ratios
