    Are C60 Molecules Detectable in Circumstellar Shells of R Coronae Borealis Stars?
    The hydrogen-poor, helium-rich, and carbon-rich character of the gas around R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars has been suggested to be a site for formation of C60...

    Arm and interarm abundance gradients in CALIFA spiral galaxies
    Spiral arms are the most singular features in disc galaxies. These structures can exhibit different patterns, namely grand design and flocculent arms, with...
