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.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

A Study of Abundance Patterns in the Sextans and Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
In this work, we employ a multicomponent decomposition model to study the Sextans and Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which have distinct evolutionary histories.

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.

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.

Gravoturbulent Star Formation: Effects of the Equation of State on Stellar Masses [PDF]

, 2005
Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuations with gravity taking over in the densest and most massive regions ...

Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars determined by Monte Carlo variations [PDF]

, 2017
The s-process in massive stars produces the weak component of the s-process (nuclei up to A ∼ 90), in amounts that match solar abundances. For heavier isotopes, such as barium, production through neutron capture is significantly enhanced in very metal ...

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

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 ...

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.
