From Scientific Discovery to Cures: Bright Stars within a Galaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose that data mining and network analysis utilizing public databases can identify and quantify relationships between scientific discoveries and major advances in medicine (cures). Further development of such approaches could help to increase public understanding and governmental support for life science research and could enhance decision making in the quest for cures.

Pulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملساخت و تحلیل فهرست ستارهای از کهکشان M33
In this study, 1200 images and catalogues of M33 spiral galaxy taken by WFCAM camera at UKIRT telescope in J, H and K bands. Cross correlation methods were employed to identify stars in overlapping regions from among images taken in different dates. Careful astrometric and photometric analysis was made to calibrate stellar positions and magnitudes using their 2MASS near infra red survey. The fi...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملThe dark side of the Milky Way.
The familiar picture of our Galaxy is that of a myriad of bright stars assembled in a flat disk which we call the Milky Way. But what, if, like a shadow, another massive disk population of formerly bright stars inhabited the Galaxy from the beginning, though characterized by somewhat larger scales, but then managed to fade out? Here we present very recent results of such a scenario from the loc...
متن کاملThe Link between Warm Molecular Disks in Maser Nuclei and Star Formation near the Black Hole at the Galactic Center
The discovery of hundreds of young, bright stars within a parsec from the massive black hole Sgr A at the center of the Galaxy presents a challenge to star formation theories. The requisite Roche densities for gravitational collapse of gas clouds are most naturally achieved in accretion disks. The water maser sources in Keplerian rotation in the nuclei of NGC4258, NGC1068, and the Circinus Gala...
