On the efficiency of field star capture by star clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
An exciting recent finding regarding scaling relations among globular clusters is the so-called 'blue tilt': clusters of the blue sub-population follow a trend of redder colour with increasing luminosity. In this paper we evaluate to which extent field star capture over a Hubble time may explain the 'blue tilt'.

Open clusters: III. Fundamental parameters of B stars in NGC 6087, NGC 6250, NGC 6383 and NGC 6530. B type stars with circumstellar envelopes [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 610, A30 (2018), 2017
Context. Stellar physical properties of star clusters are poorly known. Aims. Our goals are to perform a spectrophotometric study of the B star population in open clusters to derive accurate stellar parameters, search for the presence of circumstellar envelopes, and discuss the characteristics of these stars. Methods.

Cool Carbon Stars in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1975
By combining lists of carbon stars with the catalogue of open clusters (Alter et al., 1970), a list of variable carbon stars, being probable members of clusters is given. The number of stars is too small to derive reliable statistics on cluster membership. Too few radial velocities are yet available.

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

A Photometric Method to Search for Be Stars in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2005
We describe a technique to identify Be stars in open clusters using Stromgren b, y, and narrow-band Halpha photometry. We first identify the B-type stars of the cluster using a theoretical isochrone fit to the (b-y, y) color-magnitude diagram. The strongest Be stars are easily identified in a (b-y, y-Halpha) color-color diagram, but those with weaker ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

The occurrence of abnormal stars in open clusters [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1979
AbstractMorgan, Keenan, and others have found that low dispersions (80-130 Å mm-1) are ideal for obtaining spectral types and luminosity classes, especially for early-type stars. This is because at those dispersions certain blends are unresolved and remain useful, the hydrogen line wings are seen most clearly, and differences in rotational velocities ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
