The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXI. Stellar spin rates of O-type spectroscopic binaries

, 2015
The initial distribution of spin rates of massive stars is a fingerprint of their elusive formation process. It also sets a key initial condition for stellar evolution and is thus an important ingredient in stellar population synthesis.

Machine Learning‐Enabled Polymer Discovery for Enhanced Pulmonary siRNA Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study provides an efficient approach to train a machine learning model by merging heterogeneous literature data to predict suitable polymers for siRNA delivery. Without the need for extensive laboratory synthesis, the machine learning enabled a virtual screening and successfully predicted a polymer that is validated for effective gene silencing in

Lithium abundances in CEMP stars

, 2012
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are believed to show the chemical imprints of more massive stars (M > 0.8 Msun) that are now extinct. In particular, it is expected that the observed abundance of Li should deviate in these stars from the standard ...

Binary Analysis and Period Study of the Long-period, High-mass-ratio Contact Binary KIC 7766185

The Astronomical Journal
We present an in-depth photometric and spectroscopic study of the contact binary KIC 7766185. Spectroscopic observations were conducted on the Mayall 4 m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory and used to extract radial velocities.

The Stellar Composition of the Star Formation Region CMa R1. II. Spectroscopic and Photometric Observations of 9 Young Stars

, 2001
We present new high and low resolution spectroscopic and photometric data of nine members of the young association CMa R1. All the stars have circumstellar dust at some distance as could be expected from their association with reflection nebulosity. Four

Understanding and Addressing the Performance Asymmetry Issue in Semitransparent Laminated Organic Photovoltaic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work addresses the challenge of current–voltage asymmetry in scalable laminated semitransparent organic photovoltaics (OPVs) for indoor applications. Vertical stratification of materials is shown to create an energy barrier, leading to performance differences under different illumination directions.

Symbiotic star candidates in Gaia Data Release 3

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Symbiotic stars, binary pairs with a cool giant fueling accretion onto a hot compact companion, offer unique insights to our understanding of stellar evolution. Yet, only a few hundred symbiotic stars are confirmed.

Spectroscopic Binaries and Collapsed Stars: Part II

, 2018
Fifty years ago, borrowing an idea from our Russian friends Guseinov and Zeldovich, we looked for very compact stars (neutron stars and black holes, in modern terminology) as optically-invisible components of single-line spectroscopic binaries. We didn't find any, but our method was very close to the processes that soon identified neutron stars in the ...
