Distances and Stellar Population properties using the SBF method

open access: yes, 2008
We present some results on the study of stellar population properties and distances of galaxies using the SBF technique. The applications summarized here show that the Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) method is able to i) provide accurate distances of resolved and unresolved stellar systems from ~10 Kpc to ~150 Mpc, and ii) to reliably constrain ...

C2α‐carbanion‐protonating glutamate discloses tradeoffs between substrate accommodation and reaction rate in actinobacterial 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Enzymes of the 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase group catalyze the condensation of formyl‐CoA with aldehydes or ketones. Thus, by structural adaptation of active sites, practically any pharmaceutically and industrially important 2‐hydroxyacid could be biotechnologically synthesized. Combining crystal structure analysis, active site mutations and kinetic assays,

Blue Supergiants in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: Comparison with H II Region Chemical Abundances, Spectroscopic Distance, and an Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a quantitative spectroscopic study of 13 blue supergiant stars in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101, based on data obtained with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer available at the Keck I telescope.

The IMF of stellar clusters: effects of accretion and feedback

open access: yes, 2010
We have developed a model which describes the co-evolution of the mass function of dense gravitationally bound cores and of the stellar mass function in a protocluster clump.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Rotation curves velocities obtained by warm low-density plasma simulating dark halos and “dark matter”

open access: yesAIP Advances
The free electron model with Boltzmann statistics for spherical low-density plasmas is developed further, with asymptotic relations obtaining the density of electrons, mass densities, and the potentials of such plasmas.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Detecting Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections via Coronal Dimming in the Extreme Ultraviolet

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Stellar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can strip planetary atmospheres, reducing the potential habitability of terrestrial planets. While flares have been observed for decades, stellar CMEs remain elusive.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Mapping the Milky Way in 5D with 170 Million Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present Augustus , a catalog of distance, extinction, and stellar parameter estimates for 170 million stars from 14 mag < r < 20 mag and with ∣ b ∣ > 10° drawing on a combination of optical to near-infrared photometry from Pan-STARRS, 2MASS, UKIDSS ...
