The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe 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 ...

CHRONOS: Towards a self-consistent and absolute stellar age scale
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. 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 ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

What Physical Factors Influence the Transformation between Blue Supergiants and Red Supergiants?
The Astrophysical JournalThe post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars is highly sensitive to key stellar model parameters, particularly initial rotational velocity and metallicity.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Twists in the flow: Revisiting convective mixing in rotating stellar models
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. 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.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

The Astronomical JournalDetermining stellar ages is challenging, as it depends on other stellar parameters in a nonlinear way and often relies on stellar evolution models to infer the underlying relation between these parameters and age. This complexity increases when comparing

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.

The California Legacy Survey. VI. The Fate of Activity Cycles in Sun-like Stars
The Astronomical JournalWe analyze the spectra of 91 solar-type G- and K-type main-sequence dwarfs in the solar neighborhood to assess activity trends with stellar properties.
