A Census of B[e] Supergiants

Galaxies, 2019
Stellar evolution theory is most uncertain for massive stars. For reliable predictions of the evolution of massive stars and their final fate, solid constraints on the physical parameters, and their changes along the evolution and in different ...

Young, Massive Star Candidates Detected throughout the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way

, 2012
Aims. Young, massive stars have been found at projected distances R < 0.5 pc from supermassive black hole, Sgr A* at the center of our Galay. In recent years, increasing evidence has been found for the presence of young, massive stars also at R > 0.5 pc.

Cis‐regulatory and long noncoding RNA alterations in breast cancer – current insights, biomarker utility, and the critical need for functional validation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Signatures of Mass Segregation from Competitive Accretion and Monolithic Collapse

The Astrophysical Journal
The two main competing theories proposed to explain the formation of massive (>10 M _⊙ ) stars—competitive accretion and monolithic core collapse—make different observable predictions for the environment of the massive stars during, and immediately after,

Two step ejection of massive stars and the issue of their formation in isolation

, 2010
In this paper we investigate the combined effect of massive binary ejection from star clusters and a second acceleration of a massive star during a subsequent supernova explosion. We call this the "two-step-ejection" scenario.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Dust around Massive Stars Is Agnostic to Galactic Environment: New Insights from PHAT/BEAST

The Astrophysical Journal
Resolving the environments of massive stars is crucial for understanding their formation mechanisms and their impact on galaxy evolution. An important open question is whether massive stars found in diffuse regions outside spiral arms formed in situ or ...

Hot Stars in Stellar Populations of Galaxies

Galaxies
Star-forming galaxies are hosts of dominant populations of recently formed, hot, massive stars, which give rise to conspicuous stellar spectral features and provide the ionizing fluxes. Strong outflows of these stars shape their properties.

Environments of massive stars and the upper mass limit

, 2011
The locations of massive stars (> 8 Msun) within their host galaxies is reviewed. These range from distributed OB associations to dense star clusters within giant HII regions.

Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution: Observational Campaign and Companion Detection [PDF]

, 2014
Multiplicity is one of the most fundamental observable properties of massive O-type stars and offers a promising way to discriminate between massive star formation theories.
