First JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy of O Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Determining how much mass is removed by stellar winds is crucial to understanding massive star evolution and feedback. However, traditional spectroscopic diagnostics in the UV and optical are not sensitive enough to characterize weak stellar winds of OB ...

Particle-in-cell Simulations of Mildly Relativistic Outflows in Kilonova Emissions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The electromagnetic emission from neutron star mergers is comprised of multiple components. Synchrotron emission from the disk-powered jet and thermal emission from the merger ejecta (powered by a variety of sources) are among the most studied sources ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Can Protostellar Outflows Set Stellar Masses?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The opening angles of some protostellar outflows appear too narrow to match the expected core–star mass efficiency (SFE) = 0.3–0.5, if the outflow cavity volume traces outflow mass, with a conical shape and a maximum opening angle near 90°.

The chemical evolution of local star forming galaxies: Radial profiles of ISM metallicity, gas mass, and stellar mass and constraints on galactic accretion and winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The radially averaged metallicity distribution of the ISM and the young stellar population of a sample of 20 disk galaxies is investigated by means of an analytical chemical evolution model which assumes constant ratios of galactic wind mass loss and ...

Linked dimers of the AAA+ ATPase Msp1 reveal energetic demands and mechanistic plasticity for substrate extraction from lipid bilayers

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells must clear mislocalized or faulty proteins from membranes to survive. The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 performs this task, but dissecting how its six subunits work together is challenging. We engineered linked dimers with varied numbers of functional subunits to reveal how Msp1 subunits cooperate and use energy to extract proteins from the lipid bilayer ...

Detection of Metal Enrichment by SN 2011jm in NGC 4809

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Cosmic metals are believed to originate from stellar and supernovae (SNe) nucleosynthesis, dispersed into the interstellar medium (ISM) through stellar winds and supernova explosions.

STELLAR WIND IN THE ISM

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
After a brief review of the modern understanding of stellar wind's action on the ISM we consider two aspects of its "global" collective effect from observational viewpoint.

LATIS: The Stellar Mass–Metallicity Relation of Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 2.5

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for 3491 star-forming galaxies at 2 ≲ z ≲ 3 using rest-frame far-ultraviolet spectra from the Ly α Tomography IMACS Survey (LATIS).

The orbital evolution of asteroids, pebbles and planets from giant branch stellar radiation and winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The discovery of over 50 planets around evolved stars and more than 35 debris discs orbiting white dwarfs highlight the increasing need to understand small body evolution around both early and asymptotic giant branch (GB) stars. Pebbles and asteroids are
