Are galactic coronae thermally unstable?

, 2010
A substantial fraction of the baryons of disk galaxies like the Milky Way is expected to reside in coronae of gas at the virial temperature. This is the only realistic reservoir of gas available to feed star formation in the disks.

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2573-2587, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species.

Formation of Wormholes by Dark Matter in the Galaxy Dragonfly 44

, 2018
Recently, ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) of Dragonfly 44 in the Coma Cluster was observed and observations of the rotational speed suggest that its mass is almost same as the mass of the Milky Way. On the other hand, interestingly, the galaxy emits only 1 \%

What Is Missing from the Local Stellar Halo?

The Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way’s stellar halo, which extends to >100 kpc, encodes the evolutionary history of our Galaxy. However, most studies of the halo to date have been limited to within a few kiloparsecs of the Sun.

UV–Vis Spectra of Carbonic Acid: Rationalizing Experimental Redshifts between Monomer and Bulk based on (H2CO3)n Calculations

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 18, September 19, 2025.
In bulk carbonic acid (e.g., in interstellar icy dust grains) cluster formation produces two distinct UV‐Vis spectral features redshifted by ≈2 eV (25 nm) and by ≈5 eV (80 nm) compared to gas phase single molecule carbonic acid 's adiabatic ionization energy. Theory and experiment were used to investigate the origin of these shifts.

Predicting the locations of possible long-lived low-mass first stars: Importance of satellite dwarf galaxies

, 2017
The search for metal-free stars has so far been unsuccessful, proving that if there are surviving stars from the first generation, they are rare, they have been polluted, or we have been looking in the wrong place.

Icarus Revisited: An Ancient, Metal-poor Accreted Stellar Stream in the Disk of the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal
The search for accreted satellites in the Galactic disk is a challenging task, to which Gaia plays a crucial role in synergy with ground-based spectroscopic surveys. In 2021, P. Re Fiorentin et al.

The Chemical Evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy

, 2021
The elemental abundance gradients of elements up to Zn are predicted using the N body Monte Carlo technique by developing homogenous and heterogeneous Galactic Chemical Evolution (GCE) simulations. In the case of homogeneous GCE models, the galaxy is radially divided into eight annular rings of 2 kpc width each at a distance of 2-18 kpc from the center

Thermotolerant class A acid phosphatase active across broad pH range and diverse substrates

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract M2‐32 is a non‐specific acid phosphatase with a rare ability to function across a broad pH range (3.5–8.5). Analysis using SWISS‐PROT Prf Profiles classifies it as a class A acid phosphatase (Z‐score: 78.97), sharing 50%–60% sequence similarity with enzymes such as PhoC and PhoN.
