A Complex Stellar Line-of-Sight Velocity Distribution in the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 524

Open Astronomy, 2011
We present a detailed study of the stellar and gaseous kinematics in the luminous early-type galaxy NGC 524, derived from the long-slit spectroscopic observations obtained with the Russian 6 m telescope and the IFU data from the SAURON survey.

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME). IX. A 27 Myr Extended Population of Lower Centaurus Crux with a Transiting Two-planet System

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery and characterization of a nearby (∼85 pc), older (27 ± 3 Myr), distributed stellar population near Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC), initially identified by searching for stars comoving with a candidate transiting planet from TESS (HD ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Mapping the Stellar Kinematics in the Central 240 pc of M87 with the James Webb Space Telescope

The Astrophysical Journal
The supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the giant elliptical galaxy M87 is one of the most well studied in the local Universe, but the stellar- and gas-dynamical SMBH mass measurements disagree.

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Measuring the Central Dark Mass in NGC 4258 with JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Kinematics

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a new stellar-dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4258 (M106), a critical benchmark for extragalactic mass measurements.

A Statistical Relation between Mass, Age, and Velocity Dispersion in the Solar Neighborhood

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The stellar kinematics of the Galactic disk are the main factors constraining disk formation and evolution processes in the Milky Way. In this paper, we investigate a statistical relation between stellar mass, age, and velocity dispersion for stars in ...

Microstructural Evolution and Vacancy Defect Formation in Mn–Mo–Ni RPV Steel Under Low Cycle Fatigue: Insights From EBSD and PALS

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐cycle fatigue damage in Mn–Mo–Ni reactor pressure vessel steel is examined using a combined electron backscatter diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy approach. The study correlates texture evolution, dislocation substructure development, and vacancy‐type defect formation across uniform, necked, and fracture regions, providing

Discovery of the Magellanic Stellar Stream Out to 100 kpc

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Magellanic Stream (MS)—an enormous ribbon of gas spanning 140° of the southern sky trailing the Magellanic Clouds—has been exquisitely mapped in the five decades since its discovery.

Influence of an Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere on Diamond‐Single‐Grain Scratching of Ti–6Al–4V

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐grain scratching of Ti–6Al–4V is investigated under controlled, oxygen‐free, and ambient atmospheres using a novel experimental setup with in situ high‐speed imaging. The approach enables direct observation of chip formation and adhesion under suppressed oxidation.
