Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Predicted incidence of Jupiter-like planets around white dwarfs

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Gas-giant planets and brown dwarfs have been discovered in large numbers around main-sequence stars and even evolved stars. In contrast, and despite ongoing imaging surveys using state-of-the-art facilities, only a handful of substellar ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Detection of the Temperature Dependence of the White Dwarf Mass–Radius Relation with Gravitational Redshifts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Models predict that the well-studied mass–radius relation of white dwarf stars depends on the temperature of the star, with hotter white dwarfs having larger masses at a given radius than cooler stars.

White-Dwarf Asteroseismology With the Kepler Space Telescope

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
In the course of their evolution, white-dwarf stars go through at least one phase of variability in which the global pulsations they undergo allow astronomers to peer into their interiors, making it possible to shed light on their deep inner structure ...

Absolute magnitudes of white dwarfs and discovery of new white dwarfs from FBS Blue Stellar Objects by means of Gaia EDR3 data

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2022
This article is a presentation of a project which is a statistical study of white dwarfs’ properties carried out based on the sample of the First Byurakan Survey Blue Stellar Objects (FBS BSOs) and the Catalogue of White Dwarfs.

White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974
The effects of core crystallization and of convection in the envelope on the cooling of white dwarfs are reviewed. The case of a 0.6 M⊙ white dwarf composed of an oxygen core and a helium envelope is taken as example. Also the amount of hydrogen that a white dwarf can accrete before nuclear burning occurs is estimated and possible evolutionary ...

Observational Constraints on the Age-Metallicity Relation from White Dwarf-Main Sequence Binaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The age-metallicity relation (AMR) is a fundamental observational property to understand how the Galactic disc formed and evolved chemically in time. However, there is not yet a consensus on the observed properties of the AMR for the solar neighbourhood.
