Modelling Collision Products of Triple-Star Mergers

open access: yes, 2003
In dense stellar clusters, binary-single and binary-binary encounters can ultimately lead to collisions involving two or more stars. A comprehensive survey of multi-star collisions would need to explore an enormous amount of parameter space, but here we ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Wave Conversion, Decay, and Heating in a Partially Ionized Two-fluid Magneto-atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A ray-theoretic phase-space description of linear waves in a two-fluid (charges and neutrals) magnetized plasma is used to calculate analytic decay rates and mode transmission and conversion coefficients between fast and slow waves in two dimensions due ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Formation of Stripped Stars from Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. The observed spectra of several TDEs, such as ASASSN-14li, show high nitrogen-to-carbon (N/C) abundance ratios ...

Predicting stellar collision outcomes for main sequence stars

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Stellar collisions in dense galactic nuclei could play an important role in fueling supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and shaping their environments.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

A Galactic Transformation—Understanding the SMC’s Structural and Kinematic Disequilibrium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The SMC is in disequilibrium. Gas line-of-sight (LOS) velocity maps show a gradient of 60–100 km s ^−1 , generally interpreted as a rotating gas disk consistent with the Tully–Fisher relation. Yet, the stars don’t show rotation.

Towards the Provision of Accurate Atomic Data for Neutral Iron

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The rich emission and absorption line spectra of Fe I may be used to extract crucial information on astrophysical plasmas, such as stellar metallicities.

Atomic data from the IRON project - LI. Electron impact excitation of FeIX [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We calculate collision strengths and thermally averaged collision strengths for electron excitation between the one hundred and forty energetically lowest levels of Fe8+.
