Tracing the Evolution of SMBHs and Stellar Objects in Galaxy Mergers: A Multi-mass Direct N-body Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
By using direct N -body numerical simulations, we model the dynamical coevolution of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the surrounding stars in merging galaxies. In order to investigate how different stellar components evolve during the merger, we

The stellar mass - size relation for cluster galaxies at z=1 with high angular resolution from the Gemini/GeMS multi-conjugate adaptive optics system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the stellar mass - size relation for 49 galaxies within the $z$ = 1.067 cluster SPT-CL J0546$-$5345, with FWHM $\sim$80-120 mas $K_{\mathrm s}$-band data from the Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system (GeMS/GSAOI).

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Central BH Mass of Tidal Disruption Event Candidate SDSS J0159 through Long-term Optical Variabilities

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this manuscript, central BH mass is determined in the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate SDSS J0159, through the 9 yr long variabilities, in order to check whether the virial BH mass is consistent with the mass estimated by other independent ...

A 20 Thousand Solar Mass Black Hole in the Stellar Cluster G1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present the detection of a 2.0(+1.4,-0.8)x10^4 solar mass black hole (BH) in the stellar cluster G1 (Mayall II), based on data taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Intrinsic stellar mass flux and steady stellar winds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1982
The conventional view that winds from stars like the Sun result from the existence of a hot corona and a low-pressure interstellar medium has recently been challeanged by R. N. Thomas and collegues. They suggest that the rates of mass loss from these and other stars are determined by conditions imposed on the flow at or below photospheric levels and ...

A STEEPER THAN LINEAR DISK MASS–STELLAR MASS SCALING RELATION [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT The disk mass is among the most important input parameter for every planet formation model to determine the number and masses of the planets that can form. We present an ALMA 887 μm survey of the disk population around objects from ∼2 to 0.03 M ⊙ in the nearby ∼2 Myr old Chamaeleon I star-forming region.

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Revealing the Galaxy–Halo Connection through Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Understanding the connections between galaxy stellar mass, star formation rate, and dark matter halo mass represents a key goal of the theory of galaxy formation. Cosmological simulations that include hydrodynamics, physical treatments of star formation,
