X-ray spectroscopy performed by diierent astronomical spacecrafts has shown that many active late-type stars possess coronae. For such reason, the magnetic structure of stellar coronae has raised considerable interest and, by analogy with the Sun, it is generally assumed that stellar coronae are structured by magnetic elds having the shape of arcades. Most of those coronal magnetic eld conngura...

Abstract Protein coronae formed with nanoparticles confer several useful properties. However, the non‐specific nature of protein corona formation makes it difficult to deliver specific proteins for therapeutic applications. Herein, we report on construction a new type corona, termed binding‐mediated corona. This enables efficient and controllable delivery functional proteins, which is otherwise...

The results of a complete and sensitive X-ray survey of all known stars of spectral type A, F, and G in the immediate solar vicinity with distances less than 13 pc are presented. The X-ray data were obtained primarily from the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS); those program stars not detected in the RASS data, were subsequently studied in the ROSAT pointed observation program. The detection rate amo...

We have identified five new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Galactic bulge using the MACHO Project photometry database, raising the total number of known Galactic RCB stars to about 40. We have obtained spectra to confirm the identifications. The fact that four out of the five newly identified RCB stars are “cool” (Teff < 6000 K) rather than “warm” (Teff > 6000 K) suggests that the prepon...
