The Natural Science Underlying Big History

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

Formation of Massive and Wide First-star Binaries in Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the formation of Population III stars by performing radiation hydrodynamic simulations for three different initial clouds extracted from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations.

Episodic accretion, protostellar radiative feedback, and their role in low-mass star formation

, 2012
Protostars grow in mass by accreting material through their discs, and this accretion is initially their main source of luminosity. The resulting radiative feedback heats the environments of young protostars, and may thereby suppress further ...

High Resolution Near-Infrared Spectra of Protostars [PDF]

, 2000
We present new high resolution (R = 21,000) near-infrared (2 microns) spectroscopic observations of a sample of Class I and flat-spectrum protostellar objects in the rho Ophiuchi dark cloud.

Formation of Methanol via Fischer‐Tropsch Catalysis by Cosmic Iron Sulphide

ChemPhysChem, Volume 25, Issue 17, September 2, 2024.
Periodic quantum mechanical simulations evidence the potentiality to synthesise methanol through a Fischer‐Tropsch mechanism in different astrophysical environments facilitated by the catalytic properties of cosmic FeS grains, which are enhanced by the presence of naturally‐occurring point surface defects.

The VLA/ALMA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey of Orion Protostars. II. A Statistical Characterization of Class 0 and Class I Protostellar Disks [PDF]

, 2020
We have conducted a survey of 328 protostars in the Orion molecular clouds with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 0.87 mm at a resolution of ~0.”1 (40 au), including observations with the Very Large Array at 9 mm toward 148 protostars ...

A Mid-Infrared Study of the Class 0 Cluster in LDN 1448 [PDF]

, 2005
We present ground-based mid-infrared observations of Class 0 protostars in LDN 1448. Of the five known protostars in this cloud, we detected two, L1448N:A and L1448C, at 12.5, 17.9, 20.8, and 24.5 microns, and a third, L1448 IRS 2, at 24.5 microns.

Sulforaphane and ophthalmic diseases

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5296-5311, August 2024.
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an organosulfur compound categorized as an isothiocyanate (ITC), primarily extracted from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. This review comprehensively outlines recent research on SFN, elucidates its mechanisms of action, and discusses potential therapeutic benefits for eye disorders such as age‐related macular ...

Miller and Urey in the Universe: detecting prebiotic molecules in star-forming regions

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
Astronomical observations have revealed that the simple molecules used in the Miller and Urey experiments (H2O, CH4, NH3, and H2), along with methanol, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, among many others, are abundant in solid form in molecular clouds
