Cosmic evolution of stellar quenching by AGN feedback: clues from the Horizon-AGN simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The observed massive end of the local galaxy stellar mass function is steeper than its predicted dark matter (DM) halo counterpart in the standard $\Lambda $CDM paradigm.

Introduction to stellar evolution

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2016
This contribution is meant as a first brief introduction to stellar physics. First I shortly describe the main physical processes active in stellar structures then I summarize the most important features during the stellar life-cycle.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

Boron Abundances in Early B Dwarfs of the Galactic Open Cluster NGC 3293

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
New boron abundances or upper limits have been determined for eight early B stars in the young Galactic open cluster NGC 3293, using UV spectra obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.

Stellar population synthesis at the resolution of 2003 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present a new model for computing the spectral evolution of stellar populations at ages between 1 x 10 5 and 2 x 10 1 0 yr at a resolution of 3 A across the whole wavelength range from 3200 to 9500 A for a wide range of metallicities.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

A Semi-analytical Model for Stellar Evolution in AGN Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes may host numerous stellar-mass objects, formed within the disk or captured from a nuclear star cluster.

Testing stellar evolution models with detached eclipsing binaries

open access: yes, 2017
Stellar evolution codes, as all other numerical tools, need to be verified. One of the standard stellar objects that allow stringent tests of stellar evolution theory and models, are detached eclipsing binaries.

Comprehensive analytic formulae for stellar evolution as a function of mass and metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present analytic formulae that approximate the evolution of stars for a wide range of mass M and metallicity Z. Stellar luminosity, radius and core mass are given as a function of age, M and Z, for all phases from the zero-age main sequence up to, and

Stellar evolution and stellar populations

open access: yes, 2019
I will overview how the theory of stellar evolution and stellar populations evolved to explain the rich features observed in large surveys of the Magellanic Clouds -- going from subtle features in colour-magnitude diagrams to striking sequences in period-magnitude diagrams.
