DASCH Discovery of Large Amplitude ~10-100 Year Variability in K Giants

open access: yes, 2010
Here we present the discovery of three unusual long-term variables found in the Digital Access to a Sky Century at Harvard (DASCH) project, with ~1 magnitude variations in their lightcurves on ~10-100 yr timescales.

Exploring Morphology of Thermoplasmonic Nanoparticles to Synergize Immunotherapeutic Fibroblast Activation Protein‐Positive Cell Sensitization and Photothermal Therapy

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Schematic of spherical and branched gold nanoparticle‐based nanocarriers conjugated with targeting modules (TMs), previously designed for chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR T‐cell) recognition of fibroblast activation protein (FAP). By combining immunotherapeutic TMs with thermoplasmonic AuNPs, these nanoconjugates selectively sensitize FAP ...

Color–Magnitude Diagram of NGC 205 and Its RR Lyrae Variables

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the deepest color–magnitude diagram (CMD) for NGC 205 in the F606W (≈ V ) and F814W (≈ I ) filters. Our archival Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys field is centered ∼3 $\mathop{.}\limits^{{\rm{^{\prime} }}}$ 8 northwest of the

Insight Into Body Size Evolution in Aves: Based on Some Body Size–Related Genes

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
These findings provide new insights into the genetic determinants of body size evolutionary mechanisms in Aves. ABSTRACT Birds exhibit remarkable variations in body size, making them an ideal group for the study of adaptive evolution. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying body size evolution in avian species remain inadequately understood.

Metallicity of Globular Cluster NGC 5053 from VI CCD Photometry [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2001
Red giant branch shape and the luminosity of horizontal branch on the (V-I)-V CMD are used to derive the metallcity of the globular cluster NGC 5053. The metallicities of NGC 5053 derived by SMR method ([Fe/H]=-2.62+-0.07) and the relation between [Fe/H]

Detection of intergalactic red-giant-branch stars in the Virgo cluster

open access: yesNature, 1998
It has been suspected for nearly 50 years that clusters of galaxies contain a population of intergalactic stars, ripped from galaxies during cluster formation or when the galaxies' orbits take them through the cluster center. Support for the existence of such a population of free-floating stars comes from measurements of the diffuse light in clusters ...

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Loach Goby Rhyacichthys aspro Offers Insights Into Gobioidei Evolution

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The percomorph fish clade Gobioidei is a suborder that comprises over 2200 species distributed in nearly all aquatic habitats. To understand the genetics underlying their species diversification, we sequenced and annotated the genome of the loach goby, Rhyacichthys aspro, an early‐diverging group, and compared it with nine additional Gobioidei

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Testing Tidal Theory Using Gaia Binaries: The Red Giant Branch

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tidal interaction is a major ingredient in the theory of binary evolution. Here, we study tidal circularization in binaries with red giant primaries. We compute the tidal evolution for binaries as their primary stars evolve along the red giant branch ...
