Star–planet interaction in the Proxima system

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We search for evidence of star–planet magnetic interactions in the nearby Proxima Centauri planetary system using high-quality, high-spectral-resolution optical observations spanning three years. Methods.

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.

Photometric magnetic-activity metrics tested with the Sun: application to Kepler M dwarfs

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2014
The Kepler mission has been providing high-quality photometric data leading to many breakthroughs in the exoplanet search and in stellar physics. Stellar magnetic activity results from the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field ...

Stellar evolution with rotation [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002
The anisotropies of the mass loss by stellar winds, which lead to asymmetric nebulae, influence the loss of angular momentum. Polar enhanced mass loss is embarking less angular momentum than isotropic mass loss, while equatorial mass loss is removing more angular momentum.

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Accurate and Robust Stellar Rotation Periods Catalog for 82771 Kepler Stars Using Deep Learning

The Astronomical Journal
We propose a new framework to predict stellar properties from light curves. We analyze the light-curve data from the Kepler space mission and develop a novel tool for deriving the stellar rotation periods for main-sequence stars.

Molecular dynamics simulations of positively selected codons in FcγRI reveal novel biochemical binding properties

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

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 ...
