RR Lyrae and Type II Cepheid Variables in Globular Clusters: Optical and Infrared Properties
Globular clusters are both primary fossils of galactic evolution and formation and are ideal laboratories for constraining the evolution of low-mass and metal-poor stars.

Challanges for stellar pulsation and evolution theory [PDF]
During the last few decades, great effort has been made towards understanding hydrodynamical processes which determine the structure and evolution of stars. Up to now, the most stringent constraints have been provided by helioseismology and stellar cluster studies. However, the contribution of asteroseismology becomes more and more important, giving us

A Compact Source for Quasi-periodic Pulsation in an M-class Solar Flare [PDF]
Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) are usually found in the light curves of solar and stellar flares; they carry the features of time characteristics and plasma emission of the flaring core, and could be used to diagnose the coronas of the Sun and remote ...

Betelgeuse, the nearest red supergiant, dimmed to an unprecedented level in early 2020. The star emerged from this “Great Dimming” episode with its typical, roughly 400 days pulsation cycle halved, and a new dominant period of around 200 days.

Bifurcation in Hydrodynamic Models of Stellar Pulsation [PDF]
AbstractPhenomena of bifurcation in hydrodynamic stellar models of radial pulsation are reviewed. By changing control parameters of models, we can see qualitatively different pulsation behaviors in hydrodynamic models with transitions due to various types of bifurcation.In weakly dissipative models (classical Cepheids).

Pulsation models of O-rich and C-rich long period variables
The intrinsic variability of luminous red giants is an observable providing important information about stellar structure and evolution. Our aim is to provide a solid theoretical background to the wide amount of data coming from present and future ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Tipsy pulsation of classical Cepheids – lessons from space photometry
Space photometric data of the Kepler Cepheid, V1154 Cygni, and those of SZ Tauri (MOST photometry) indicate that classical Cepheids are not strictly regular pulsators.
