Half or more of stars more massive than our Sun are orbited by a companion star in a binary system. Many binaries have short enough orbits that the evolution of both stars is greatly altered by an exchange of mass and angular momentum between the stars. Such mass transfer is highly likely on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) because this is when a star is both very large and has strong wind mass loss. Direct mass transfer truncates the AGB, and its associated nucleosynthesis, prematurely compared to in a single star. In wide binaries we can probe nucleosynthesis in the long-dead AGB primary star by today observing its initially lower-mass companion. The star we see now may be polluted by ejecta from the primary either through a wind or Roche-lobe overflow. We highlight recent quantitative work on nucleosynthesis in (ex-)AGB mass-transfer systems, such as carbon and barium stars, the link between binary stars and planetary nebulae, and suggest AGB stars as a possible source of the enigmatic element, lithium.

Bright Be star beta CMi has been identified as a non-radial pulsator on the basis of space photometry with the MOST satellite and also as a single-line spectroscopic binary with a period of 170.4 d. The purpose of this study is to re-examine both the
se findings, using numerous electronic spectra from the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Ondv{r}ejov Observatory, Universitatssterwarte Bochum, archival electronic spectra from several observatories, and also the original MOST satellite photometry. We measured the radial velocity of the outer wings of the double Halpha emission in all spectra at our disposal and were not able to confirm significant radial-velocity changes. We also discuss the problems related to the detection of very small radial-velocity changes and conclude that while it is still possible that the star is a spectroscopic binary, there is currently no convincing proof of it from the radial-velocity measurements. Wavelet analysis of the MOST photometry shows that there is only one persistent (and perhaps slightly variable) periodicity of 0.617 d of the light variations, with a double-wave light curve, all other short periods having only transient character. Our suggestion that this dominant period is the stars rotational period agrees with the estimated stellar radius, projected rotational velocity and with the orbital inclination derived by two teams of investigators. New spectral observations obtained in the whole-night series would be needed to find out whether some possibly real, very small radial-velocity changes cannot in fact be due to rapid line-profile changes.
Sommerfeld called the first part of the second law to be the entropy axiom, which is about the existence of the state function entropy. It was usually thought that the second part of the second law, which is about the non-decreasing nature of entropy
of thermally isolated systems, did not follow from the first part. In this note, we point out the surprise that the first part in fact implies the second part.
We investigate the properties of a sample of 35 galaxies, detected with ALMA at 1.1 mm in the GOODS-ALMA field (area of 69 arcmin$^2$, resolution = 0.60, RMS $simeq$ 0.18 mJy beam$^{-1}$). Using the UV-to-radio deep multiwavelength coverage of the GO
ODS-South field, we fit the spectral energy distributions of these galaxies to derive their key physical properties. The galaxies detected by ALMA are among the most massive at $z$ = 2-4 (M$_{star,med}$ = 8.5$ times$ 10$^{10}$ M$_odot$) and are either starburst or located in the upper part of the galaxy star-forming main sequence. A significant portion of our galaxy population ($sim$ 40%), located at $zsim$ 2.5-3, exhibits abnormally low gas fractions. The sizes of these galaxies, measured with ALMA, are compatible with the trend between $H$-band size and stellar mass observed for $zsim2$ elliptical galaxies suggesting that they are building compact bulges. We show that there is a strong link between star formation surface density (at 1.1 mm) and gas depletion time: the more compact a galaxys star-forming region is, the shorter its lifetime will be (without gas replenishment). The identified compact sources associated with relatively short depletion timescales ($sim$100 Myr), are the ideal candidates to be the progenitors of compact elliptical galaxies at $z$ $sim$ 2.
We use the AllWISE Data Release to continue our search for WISE-detected motions. In this paper, we publish another 27,846 motion objects, bringing the total number to 48,000 when objects found during our original AllWISE motion survey are included.
We use this list, along with the lists of confirmed WISE-based motion objects from the recent papers by Luhman and by Schneider et al. and candidate motion objects from the recent paper by Gagne et al. to search for widely separated, common-proper-motion systems. We identify 1,039 such candidate systems. All 48,000 objects are further analyzed using color-color and color-mag plots to provide possible characterizations prior to spectroscopic follow-up. We present spectra of 172 of these, supplemented with new spectra of 23 comparison objects from the literature, and provide classifications and physical interpretations of interesting sources. Highlights include: (1) the identification of three G/K dwarfs that can be used as standard candles to study clumpiness and grain size in nearby molecular clouds because these objects are currently moving behind the clouds, (2) the confirmation/discovery of several M, L, and T dwarfs and one white dwarf whose spectrophotometric distance estimates place them 5-20 pc from the Sun, (3) the suggestion that the Na D line be used as a diagnostic tool for interpreting and classifying metal-poor late-M and L dwarfs, (4) the recognition of a triple system including a carbon dwarf and late-M subdwarf, for which model fits of the late-M subdwarf (giving [Fe/H] ~ -1.0) provide a measured metallicity for the carbon star, and (5) a possible 24-pc-distant K5 dwarf + peculiar red L5 system with an apparent physical separation of 0.1 pc.
In an $SU(2)_R$ extension of the standard model, it is shown how the neutral fermion $N$ in the doublet $(N,e)_R$ may be assigned baryon number $B=1$, in contrast to its $SU(2)_L$ counterpart $ u$ in the doublet $( u,e)_L$ which has lepton number $L=
1$. This baryon-lepton duplicity allows a scalar $sigma$ which couples to $N_L N_L$ to be long-lived dark matter.
