No Significant Evolution of Relations between Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Total Stellar Mass Up to z ∼ 2.5 [PDF]
We investigate the cosmic evolution of the ratio between black hole (BH) mass (MBH) and host galaxy total stellar mass (Mstellar) out to z ∼ 2.5 for a sample of 100 X-ray-selected moderate-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the ...

Exploring stellar evolution with gravitational-wave observations [PDF]
Recent detections of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes opened new possibilities to study the evolution of massive stars and black hole formation. In particular, stellar evolution models may be constrained on the basis of the differences

Dawes Review 6: The Impact of Companions on Stellar Evolution [PDF]
Astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on stellar evolution. New discoveries have underlined the role of binary star interactions in a range of astrophysical events, including some that were previously ...

Chaotic Dynamics of Stellar Spin in Binaries and the Production of Misaligned Hot Jupiters
Motivated by observed hot Jupiter systems with high stellar obliquities, we examine the dynamics of stellar spin in planetary systems with distant stellar companions, with inclinations sufficiently high so that the planet undergoes Kozai-Lidov ...

The Evolution of Flare Activity with Stellar Age [PDF]
Using a recent census of flare stars from the Kepler survey, we have explored how flare activity evolves across stellar main-sequence lifetimes. We utilize a sample of 347 stars with robust flare activity detections and which have rotation periods ...

3D Radiation-hydrodynamic Simulations Resolving Interior of Rapidly Accreting Primordial Protostar
Direct collapse of supermassive stars is a possible pathway to form supermassive black hole seeds at high redshifts. Whereas previous three-dimensional (3D) simulations demonstrate that supermassive stars form via rapid mass accretion, those resolving ...

ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.
