A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

TESS Asteroseismology of β Hydri: A Subgiant with a Born-again Dynamo

The Astrophysical Journal
The solar-type subgiant β Hyi has long been studied as an old analog of the Sun. Although the rotation period has never been measured directly, it was estimated to be near 27 days.

CHRONOS: Towards a self-consistent and absolute stellar age scale

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Establishing a self-consistent age scale for stellar populations requires physically well-calibrated chronometers. Among these, lithium-based diagnostics, particularly the lithium depletion boundary (LDB), provide one of the most robust age ...

Refinement of amino‐acid conformation vs. difference density maps in time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Relations of Rotation and Chromospheric Activity to Stellar Age for FGK Dwarfs from Kepler and LAMOST

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The empirical relations between rotation period, chromospheric activity, and age can be used to estimate stellar age. To calibrate these relations, we present a catalog, including the masses and ages of 52,321 FGK dwarfs, 47,489 chromospheric activity ...

A new flow chip in combination with multiphoton microscopy as a protocol for longitudinal 3D imaging of tissue calcification under shear stress

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Miniaturized flow chip platform enabling continuous perfusion and longitudinal multiphoton 3D imaging of vascular smooth muscle cell constructs under physiological flow. Brightfield imaging guides region selection, while CellTracker Green and mRuby‐labeled fetuin‐A visualize cells and mineral deposition, respectively. Magnesium supplementation markedly

What Physical Factors Influence the Transformation between Blue Supergiants and Red Supergiants?

The Astrophysical Journal
The post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars is highly sensitive to key stellar model parameters, particularly initial rotational velocity and metallicity.

Twists in the flow: Revisiting convective mixing in rotating stellar models

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Convection and rotation are both key processes in stellar evolution modelling. While standard mixing-length theory (MLT) provides a widely used modelling of convection, it neglects the effects of rotation on convective transport. Aims.

Predicting Stellar Rotation Periods Using XGBoost

, 2023
The estimation of rotation periods of stars is a key problem in stellar astrophysics. Given the large amount of data available from ground-based and space telescopes, there is nowadays a growing concern to find reliable methods that allow one to quickly ...
