A New Type of Acidic OH-Groups in the LTL Zeolite (2024)
Journal Article
Contini, A., Jendrlin, M., & Zholobenko, V. (in press). A New Type of Acidic OH-Groups in the LTL Zeolite. Crystals, 14(8), Article 745. https://doi.org/10.3390/cryst14080745

Acidic properties of ion-exchanged LTL zeolites have been studied using FTIR spectroscopy, complemented by X-ray powder diffraction, SEM-EDX, XRF and N2 physisorption. Infrared spectra of the ion-exchanged zeolites show the presence of two intense ba... Read More about A New Type of Acidic OH-Groups in the LTL Zeolite.

EWOCS-II: X-ray properties of the Wolf-Rayet stars in the young Galactic super star cluster Westerlund 1

We present the most comprehensive and deepest X-ray study to date of the properties of the richest Wolf-Rayet (WR) population observed in a single stellar cluster, Westerlund 1 (Wd1). This work is based on 36 Chandra observations obtained from the "E... Read More about EWOCS-II: X-ray properties of the Wolf-Rayet stars in the young Galactic super star cluster Westerlund 1.

Identification of Aggregation Pheromone as an Attractant for Odontothrips loti, A Serious Thrips Pest on Alfalfa (2024)
Journal Article
Li, X., Cheng, J., Han, H., Kirk, W. D., O’Brien, M., Wang, L., Chen, L., Zhang, H., Zhang, Z., Ullah, F., Desneux, N., & Lu, Y. (in press). Identification of Aggregation Pheromone as an Attractant for Odontothrips loti, A Serious Thrips Pest on Alfalfa. Journal of Chemical Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-024-01532-8

Odontothrips loti (Haliday) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the most serious pests on alfalfa, causing direct damage by feeding and indirect damage by transmitting plant viruses. This damage causes significant loss in alfalfa production. Semioche...

An adjoint Green’s function approach for thermoacoustic instabilities in a duct with mean flow (2024)
Journal Article
Wei, J., Arabi, S., Pralits, J. O., Bottaro, A., & Heckl, M. A. (2024). An adjoint Green’s function approach for thermoacoustic instabilities in a duct with mean flow. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 593, Article 118673. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2024.118673

Thermoacoustic instabilities arise from the feedback between an acoustic field and the unsteady heat released in a burner, yielding self-sustained oscillations. A fundamental framework for modeling thermoacoustic instabilities in systems where a mean...

New Wolf–Rayet wind yields and nucleosynthesis of Helium stars (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, E. R., Vink, J. S., Hirschi, R., Laird, A. M., & Sander, A. A. C. (2024). New Wolf–Rayet wind yields and nucleosynthesis of Helium stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 533(1), 1095-1110. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1853

Strong metallicity-dependent winds dominate the evolution of core He-burning, classical Wolf–Rayet (cWR) stars, which eject both H and He-fusion products such as $^{14}$N, $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O, $^{19}$F, $^{22}$Ne, and $^{23}$Na during their evolution....

The effect of dynamical interactions in stellar birth environments on the orbits of young close-in planetary systems (2024)
Journal Article
Schoettler, C., & E Owen, J. (2024). The effect of dynamical interactions in stellar birth environments on the orbits of young close-in planetary systems. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 533(3), 3484-3500. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1900

Stars do not form in isolation but together with other stars, and often in a clustered environment. Depending on the initial conditions in these environments, such as initial density and substructure, the distances of encounters between stars will di...

Characterization of the δ Scuti eclipsing binary KIC 4851217 and its tertiary companion as well as detection of tidally tilted pulsations (2024)
Journal Article

Characterization of the δ Scuti eclipsing binary KIC 4851217 and its tertiary companion as well as detection of tidally tilted pulsations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Article stae1879. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1879

Stellar theory enables us to understand the properties of stars at different stages of their evolution, and contributes to other fields of astrophysics such as galactic and exoplanet studies. Assessing the accuracy of stellar theories necessitates hi...

First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) XVI: Size Evolution of Massive Dusty Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn from UV to IR

We use the First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) to study the evolution of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) sizes for a statistical sample of massive ($\gtrsim10^{9}$M$_{\odot}$) high redshift galaxies (z $\in$...
