Signatures of mass segregation from competitive accretion and monolithic collapse [PDF]
The two main competing theories proposed to explain the formation of massive ($>10$M$_\odot$) stars -- competitive accretion and monolithic core collapse -- make different observable predictions for the environment of the massive stars during, and immediately after, their formation.

Investigating the effect of massive stars on the dynamical evolution of open clusters, using optimal and random sampling [PDF]
Massive OB stars have an important effect on the dynamical evolution of open star clusters. In the simulation of star clusters, the sampling method to determine the mass function of the cluster affects the number and mass of massive stars. Two methods of

The evolution of massive binary systems [PDF]
The evolution of massive stars in close binary systems is significantly different from single star evolution due to a series of interactions between the two stellar components.

Eta Carinae: The Dissipating Occulter Is an Extended Structure
Previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) longslit observations of Eta Carinae ( η Car) identified numerous absorption features in both the stellar spectrum, and in the adjacent nebular spectra, along our line of ...

Semi‐supervised classification of fundus images combined with CNN and GCN
Abstract Purpose Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which is a kind of fundus lesion with specific changes. Early diagnosis of DR can effectively reduce the visual damage caused by DR. Due to the variety and different morphology of DR lesions, automatic classification of fundus images in mass screening can ...

Yellow Supergiants and Post-red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The empirical evidence for an upper-mass limit for the red supergiant (RSG) progenitors of the Type II-P SNe at about 18 MSun, raises questions about the fate of the most luminous, most massive RSGs.

Recognizing early MRI signs (or their absence) is crucial in diagnosing metachromatic leukodystrophy
Abstract Objectives Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) has characteristic white matter (WM) changes on brain MRI, which often trigger biochemical and genetic confirmation of the diagnosis. In early or pre‐symptomatic disease stages, these typical MRI changes might be absent, hampering early diagnosis.

Massive Hypervelocity Runaway Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Since the hypervelocity stars were discovered in the Milky Way, various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these runaway stars. Up to now, however, the dominant ejected mechanism of hypervelocity stars is still unclear.

Early-forming Massive Stars Suppress Star Formation and Hierarchical Cluster Assembly
Feedback from massive stars plays an important role in the formation of star clusters. Whether a very massive star is born early or late in the cluster formation timeline has profound implications for the star cluster formation and assembly processes. We

A Variational Beam Model for Failure of Cellular and Truss‐Based Architected Materials
Herein, a versatile and efficient beam modeling framework is developed to predict the nonlinear response and failure of cellular, truss‐based, and woven architected materials. It enables the exploration of their design space and the optimization of their mechanical behavior in the nonlinear regime. A variational formulation of a beam model is presented
