A stellar stream remnant of a globular cluster below the metallicity floor

Stellar ejecta gradually enrich the gas out of which subsequent stars form, making the least chemically enriched stellar systems direct fossils of structures formed in the early Universe(1). Although a few hundred stars with metal content below 1,000th of ...

The Pristine survey - XVII. The C-19 stream is dynamically hot and more extended than previously thought

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

The C-19 stream is the most metal-poor stellar system ever discovered, with a mean metallicity [Fe/H] = -3.38 +/- 0.06. Its low metallicity dispersion (sigma([Fe/H]) < 0.18 at the 95 per cent confidence level) and variations in sodium abundances strongly s ...

The Pristine survey - XVI. The metallicity of 26 stellar streams around the Milky Way detected with the STREAMFINDER in Gaia EDR3

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

We use the photometric metallicities provided by the panoramic Pristine survey to study the veracity and derive the metallicities of the numerous stellar streams found by the application of the STREAMFINDER algorithm to the Gaia Early Data Release 3 data. ...

Do the majority of stars form as gravitationally unbound?

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. Some of the youngest stars (age less than or similar to 10 Myr) are clustered, while many others are observed scattered throughout star forming regions or in complete isolation. It has been intensively debated whether such scattered or isolated st ...

Dark matter in galaxy clusters: Parametric strong-lensing approach

Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a parametric strong-lensing analysis of three massive galaxy clusters for which Hubble Space Telescope imaging is available, as well as spectroscopy of multiply imaged systems and galaxy cluster members. Our aim is to probe the inner shape of da ...

Systematic analysis of low-affinity transcription factor binding site clusters in vitro and in vivo establishes their functional relevance

Sebastian Maerkl, Shiyu Cheng, Ivan Istomin, Maria Lopez Malo, Amir Shahein, Evan James Olson

Binding to binding site clusters has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional relevance of low-affinity clusters remains uncertain. We characterized transcription factor binding to low-affinity clusters in vitro and found that transcription fac ...

Nuclear star cluster formation in star-forming dwarf galaxies

Oliver Müller

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive star clusters found in all types of galaxies from dwarfs to massive galaxies. Recent studies show that while low-mass NSCs in dwarf galaxies (M-gal< 10(9)M(circle dot)) form predominantly out of the merger of globul ...

Synthesis and properties of heterostructures in nanowires and 2-D materials

Akshay Balgarkashi

Modern solid-state devices were made possible by the discovery of semiconductor heterostructures. Heterostructures offer the ability to fabricate low-dimensional nanostructures such as quantum dots which can restrain carriers in all three-directions. Quant ...

ShapePipe: A new shape measurement pipeline and weak-lensing application to UNIONS/CFIS data

Jean-Luc Starck, Austin Chandler Peel

Context. The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is an ongoing collaboration that will provide the largest deep photometric survey of the northern sky in four optical bands to date. As part of this collaboration, the Canada-France Im ...

Systematic analysis of biomolecular binding reactions using microfluidic systems

Amir Shahein

Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...
