VizieR Online Data Catalog: 46 open clusters GaiaDR2 HR diagrams (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)
We have determined the membership of 46 open clusters. For the nine clusters within 250pc we determined optimised parallaxes based on the combined information extracted from the measured parallax and proper motion values. These clusters are : in Tables A1a & A3: alphaPer, Blanco1, ComaBer, Hyades, IC2391, IC2602, NGC2451A, Pleiades, Praesepe. The remaining 37 clusters are in Table A1b & A4: Coll140, IC4651, IC4665, IC4725, IC4756, NGC0188, NGC0752, NGC0869, NGC0884, NGC1039, NGC1901, NGC2158, NGC2168, NGC2232, NGC2323, NGC2360, NGC2422, NGC2423, NGC2437, NGC2447, NGC2516, NGC2547, NGC2548, NGC2682, NGC3228, NGC3532, NGC6025, NGC6281, NGC6405, NGC6475, NGC6633, NGC6774, NGC6793, NGC7092, Sto…

VizieR Online Data Catalog: Gaia DR2 sources in GC and dSph (Gaia Collaboration+, 2018)
The files contains lists of possible members of each of the objects (75 globular clusters, 9 dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the Bootes I UFD, the LMC and SMC). The stars in these lists have been selected and used to determine the astrometric parameters of the corresponding objects following either the procedures described in Sec. 2.1 (for the clusters and dwarfs) or in Sec. 2.2 (for the LMC and SMC). The first column is the "source_id" as given by Gaia, the ra and declination of the star in degrees, and its G-band magnitude (known as "photgmean_mag" in the Gaia archive). (2 data files).

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor trafficking in streptolysin O-permeabilized MDCK cells.
We investigated the validity of streptolysin O (SLO)-permeabilized Madin-Darbin canine kidney (MDCK) cells which express muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) for the study of the molecular machinery that regulated mAChR internalization and recycling. Exposure of SLO-permeabilized cells to carbachol-reduced cell surface receptor number by up to 40% without changing total receptor number. The kinetics and maximal extent of receptor internalization as well as the potency of carbachol to induce receptor internalization were almost identical in SLO-permeabilized and non-permeabilized cells. Using this se…

Alignment for the first precision measurements at Belle II
On March 25th 2019, the Belle II detector recorded the first collisions delivered by the SuperKEKB accelerator. This marked the beginning of the physics run with vertex detector. The vertex detector was aligned initially with cosmic ray tracks without magnetic field simultaneously with the drift chamber. The alignment method is based on Millepede II and the General Broken Lines track model and includes also the muon system or primary vertex position alignment. To control weak modes, we employ sensitive validation tools and various track samples can be used as alignment input, from straight cosmic tracks to mass-constrained decays. With increasing luminosity and experience, the alignment is …

Data quality monitors of vertex detectors at the start of the Belle II experiment
The Belle II experiment features a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. The accelerator completed its first phase of commissioning in 2016, and the Belle II detector saw its first electron-positron collisions in April 2018. Belle II features a newly designed silicon vertex detector based on double-sided strip layers and DEPFET pixel layers. A subset of the vertex detector was operated in 2018 to determine background conditions (Phase 2 operation). The collaboration completed full detector installation in January 2019, and the experiment started full data taking. This paper will report on the fin…
