The HAT-P-13 Exoplanetary System: Evidence for Spin-Orbit Alignment and a Third Companion
We present new radial-velocity measurements of HAT-P-13, a star with two previously known companions: a transiting giant planet “b” with an orbital period of 3 days, and a more massive object “c” on a 1.2 yr, highly eccentric orbit. For this system, dynamical considerations would lead to constraints on planet b’s interior structure, if it could be shown that the orbits are coplanar and apsidall...
متن کاملDynamic Tidal Alignment of Cluster Galaxies
We investigate the role of parametric tidal interactions between cluster galaxies and the cluster potential by considering galaxy and cluster dynamical properties and drawing an analogy between these systems and the Milky Way-dSph system. We suggest that some cluster galaxies are indeed undergoing resonant excitation and argue that this will cause a tendency for alignment of the galaxies’ long ...
متن کاملRegions which are Responsible for Swapping are also Responsible for Folding and Misfolding
Domain swapping is a term used to describe a process when two or more protein chains exchange identical structural elements. Some cases of amyloid formation can be explained through a domain swapping mechanism therefore this deserves theoretical consideration and studying. It has been demonstrated that diverse proteins in sequence and structure are able to oligomerize via domain swapping. This ...
متن کاملStarspots and Spin-orbit Alignment in the Wasp-4 Exoplanetary System
We present photometry of 4 transits of the exoplanet WASP-4b, each with a precision of approximately 500 ppm and a time sampling of 40-60 s. We have used the data to refine the estimates of the system parameters and ephemerides. During two of the transits we observed a short-lived, low-amplitude anomaly that we interpret as the occultation of a starspot by the planet. We also found evidence for...
متن کاملAre low tidal volumes safe?
High airway pressure may be injurious to lung parenchyma, but lowering airway pressure using conventional mechanical ventilation necessitates lowering tidal volume (VT). Intubated patients in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) were randomly assigned to group 1 (VT = 12 ml/kg, n = 56) or group 2 (VT = 6 ml/kg, n = 47). Variables recorded included acute physiology and chronic health evaluati...
