 Kieffer (1913b) described both the male and female of Conostigmus pedester from specimens collected by Ch. Alluaud and R. Jeannel on their 1911–1912 African expedition. Dessart (1966a) redescribed and illustrated the species. There are five specimens in all at the MNHN, two males and three females. Dessart (1966a) designated a female lectotype and male allolectotype, with the remaining specimens as paralectotypes. The type information is missing from the specimens, but is provided in Dessart (1966a).
The female lectotype is in ethanol (vial MNHN EY25354). There are two slide preparations (prép. no. 6506/042), one with the left antenna (MNHN EY22452) and one with a reduced wing (MNHN EY22453).
The male allolectotype is also in ethanol (vial MNHN EY25353). There are two slide preparations (prép. no. 6506/041), one with the left antenna (MNHN EY22450) and the other with the male genitalia in poor condition (MNHN EY22451). The right antenna is missing.
The male paralectotype is in ethanol (vial MNHN EY25356) and bears a determination label from Kieffer marked with “Type 44”. The metasoma is missing the end segments and genitalia, which was noted in Dessart (1966a). The two female paralectotypes are together in the same ethanol vial (MNHN EY25355), and bear a determination label from Kieffer marked with “Type 43”. The two female paralectotypes were not imaged.

description: We consider two concentric rings formed by bosonic condensates of exciton-polaritons. A circular superfluid flow of polaritons in one of the rings can be manipulated by acting upon the second annular polariton condensate. The complex coupling between the rings with different topological charges triggers nucleation of stable Josephson vortices (JVs) which are revealed as topological defects of the angular dependence of the relative phase between rings. Being dependent on the coupling strength, the structure of the JV governs the difference of the mean angular momenta of the inner and the outer rings. At the vanishing coupling the condensates rotate independently demonstrating no correlations of their winding numbers. At the moderate coupling, the interaction between two condensates tends to equalize their mean angular momenta despite of the mismatch of the winding numbers demonstrating the phenomenology of a drag effect. Above the critical coupling strength the synchronous rotation is established via the phase slip events.

description: Silicon nanowires have been surface functionalized with the enzyme urease for biosensor applications to detect and quantify urea concentration. The device is nanofabricated from a silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer with a top down lithography approach. The differential conductance of silicon nanowires can be tuned for optimum performance using the source drain bias voltage, and is sensitive to urea at low concentration. The experimental results show a linear relationship between surface potential change and urea concentration in the range of 0.1 to 0.68 mM. The sensitivity of our devices shows high reproducibility with time and different measurement conditions. The nanowire urea biosensor offers the possibility of high quality, reusable enzyme sensor array integration with silicon based circuits.

description: Recently, an analytical solution in Einstein-aether theory was presented explicitly in isotropic coordinates. It is characterized by a mass parameter $m$ and a combined coupling constant $c_{14}$. By a coordinate transformation, we verify this solution is equivalent to the previously known static aether solution. Assuming photons couple minimally to aether and gravity, we investigate the photon sphere and shadow of the solution by varying $c_{14}$. Results are compared with those of the Schwarzschild black hole.

description: Megaconstellations of thousands to tens of thousands of artificial satellites (satcons) are rapidly being developed and launched. These satcons will have negative consequences for observational astronomy research, and are poised to drastically interfere with naked-eye stargazing worldwide should mitigation efforts be unsuccessful. Here we provide predictions for the optical brightnesses and on-sky distributions of several satcons, including Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, and StarNet/GW, for a total of 65,000 satellites on their filed or predicted orbits. We develop a simple model of satellite reflectivity, which is calibrated using published Starlink observations. We use this model to estimate the visible magnitudes and on-sky distributions for these satellites as seen from different places on Earth, in different seasons, and different times of night. For latitudes near 50 degrees North and South, satcon satellites make up a few percent of all visible point sources all night long near the summer solstice, as well as near sunrise and sunset on the equinoxes. Altering the satellites' altitudes only changes the specific impacts of the problem. Without drastic reduction of the reflectivities, or significantly fewer total satellites in orbit, satcons will significantly change the night sky worldwide.

description: Pheidole sp. hh01
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173268). (Map 26)
Pheidole sp. hh01 is a rather rare ant that is similar to Pheidole nana Emery 1894, known from types from Matto Grosso– Brazil (HERRERA et al., 2014). Pheidole sp. hh01 is found mainly in dry and humid zones on nine islands and its origin is uncertain. Specimens have been collected under trees of Sapindus saponaria L., in the fern zone (Pteridium sp.), in forests of H. mancinella, M. robinsoniana and C. pubescens. On Cerro Azul volcano (Isabela Island), we found some specimens in xerophylic open vegetation composed of very short grasses and herbs dominated by Muhlenbergia microsperma (DC.) Trin., S. setosa, Borreria laevis (Lam.) Griseb., ferns, Darwiniothamnus species, Opuntia saxicola Howell, and trees of S. cordata. Pheidole sp. hh01 has been collected mainly from natural areas. The only information related to the nesting habits of Pheidole sp. hh01 comes from an observation of some queens and dimorphic workers nesting at the base of small shrubs on Darwin volcano on Isabela Island. Attraction to toxic baits (Hydramethylnon) suggests that Pheidole sp. hh01 might possibly be affected by control programs against other ant species (CAUSTON et al., 2005).

Palearctic.  Comments
 Dessart (1979b) described this species from a single female specimen. In his publication, he explains that he placed the species in the genus Dendrocerus mainly because of the ocellar triangle, which is an isosceles triangle and has a broad base in this species, whereas in species of Conostigmus the ocellar triangle is more equilateral. He notes that the species also lacks a sternaulus, which is sometimes present in Conostigmus but always absent in Dendrocerus. However, he does admit that the species bears similarities to the genus Conostigmus, notably in the scape, the presence of the supraclypeal depression, and the slim appearance of the noutalices and the mesosoma (Dessart 1979b).
The single female specimen is card mounted (MNHN EY25348), with two slide preparations (prép. no. 7707/081) of the right antenna (MNHN EY22455) and the right fore and hind wings (MNHN EY22456).

description: We generalize results of lattice QCD to determine the spin-dependent symmetries and factorization properties of meson production in OZI allowed processes. This explains some conjectures previously made in the literature about axial meson decays and gives predictions for exclusive decays of vector charmonia, including ways of establishing the structure of Y(4260) and Y(4325) from their S-wave decays. Factorization gives a selection rule which forbids $e^+e^- \to D^* D_2$ near threshold with the tensor meson in helicity 2. The relations among amplitudes for double charmonia production $\e^+e^-\to ψχ_{0,1,2}$ are expected to differ from the analagous relations among light flavour production such as $\e^+e^-\to ωf_{0,1,2}$.

description: We have compared the X-ray--to--optical flux ratios (F_x/F_opt) of absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the Chandra Deep Field North (CDF-N) with those of nearby, optically classified Seyfert 2 galaxies. The comparison provides an opportunity to explore the extent to which the local population of absorbed AGNs can account for the properties of the distant, spectroscopically ambiguous sources that produce the hard X-ray background. Our nearby sample consists of 38 objects that well represent the local Seyfert 2 luminosity function. Integrated UBVRI photometry and broadband X-ray observations are presented. Using these data, we have simulated the F_x/F_opt ratios that local Seyfert 2s would exhibit if they were observed in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1.3 as part of the CDF-N. In the simulations we account for the effects of redshift on flux measurements in fixed observed-frame bands, and the way the luminosity function of a given population is sampled in a flux-limited survey like the CDF-N. Overall, we find excellent agreement between our simulations and the observed distribution of F_x/F_opt ratios for absorbed AGNs in the CDF-N. Our analysis has thus failed to reveal any physical differences between the local population of Seyfert 2s and CDF-N sources with similar X-ray properties. These results support the hypothesis that the nuclear emission lines of many distant hard X-ray galaxies are hidden in ground-based spectra due to a combination of observational effects: signal-to-noise ratio, wavelength coverage, and dilution by host-galaxy light.

Octupolar order and Ising quantum criticality tuned by strain and dimensionality: Application to $d$-orbital Mott insulators

description: Recent experiments have discovered multipolar orders in a variety of $d$-orbital Mott insulators. Motivated by uncovering the exchange interactions which underlie octupolar order proposed in the osmate double perovskites, we study a two-site model using exact diagonalization on a five-orbital Hamiltonian, incorporating spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and interactions, and including both intra-orbital and inter-orbital hopping. Using an exact Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, we then extract an effective pseudospin Hamiltonian for the non-Kramers doublets, uncovering dominant ferrooctupolar coupling driven by the interplay of two distinct intra-orbital hopping terms. Using classical Monte Carlo simulations on the face-centered cubic lattice, we obtain a ferrooctupolar transition temperature which is in good agreement with experiments on the osmate double perovskites. We also explore the impact of uniaxial strain and dimensional tuning via ultrathin films, which are shown to induce a transverse field on the Ising octupolar order. This suppresses $T_c$ and potentially allows one to access octupolar Ising quantum critical points. We discuss possible implications of our results for a broader class of materials which may host such non-Kramers doublet ions.

description: Solenopsis sp. hh06 (cf. basalis)
(ANTWEB: ICCDRS0012776). (Map 31)
This is a rare species whose distribution outside Galápagos is unknown. Workers were collected for the first time in 2008 in the Arid Zone of Santa Cruz Island (HERRERA et al., 2014). Solenopsis sp. hh06 is found on three islands and is similar to Solenopsis basalis Forel, 1895 from Brazil and Argentina (HERRERA et al., 2014). The few records come from material collected in transition zones, including areas with human settlements. This species is probably also present in the agricultural area; one specimen was collected in M. esculenta. Solenopsis sp. hh06 (cf. basalis) is a new record of a thief ant in Galápagos. Thief ants are often found near the tunnels of nests of larger ants, of which they are presumed to steal brood or food items (CREIGHTON, 1950; MACKAY & BRADLEIGH, 1989; PACHECO et al., 2007).

description: A network identification by deconvolution (NID) method is applied to the thermal transient response of packaged and unpackaged microcoolers. A thin film resistor on top of the device is used as the heat source and the temperature sensor. The package and the bonding thermal resistances can be easily identified by comparing structure functions. High-speed coplanar probes are used to achieve a short time resolution of roughly 100ns in the transient temperature response. This is used to separate the thermal properties of the thin film from the substrate. The obtained thermal resistances of the buffer layer and Silicon substrate are consistent with the theoretical calculations. In order to estimate the superlattice thermal resistance and separate it from the thin SiNx layer deposited underneath the thin film resistive sensor, an order of magnitude faster thermal transient response is needed.

title: Paul on the human vocation : a new explanation of Paul’s use of reason language in Rom 12.1 in the light of ancient philosophical tradition
Creators: name: Dürr, Simon Walter
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: We propose a new explanation of Paul’s use of reason language in Romans 12.1 (λογικός) based on a fresh reading of philosophical traditions about the role of human beings in the cosmos. We argue that Rom 12.1 appeals to the idea of a human vocation such as it is most clearly articulated in Epictetus, Diss. 1.16. Paul thereby claims that Christ-followers are now able to fulfil their human vocation by living in such a way that their lives produce signs of the new creation inaugurated in Christ. In chapters 1–2, we show the problems with previous explanations, which contextualise too narrowly, and approach Paul’s statement with a corpus-based discourse analysis of the phrase ζῷον λογικόν, showing how it functions in the wider ancient discourse on what it means to be human. Having thus made a first step towards a broader contextualisation, we then survey key texts from this discourse in chapter 3, where we show the central role of reason in ancient accounts of genuine humanness and for the idea of a human vocation. In chapter 4 we offer a fresh reading of Epictetus, Diss. 1.16 and other texts, as part of that wider discourse, which shows that λογικός refers to the distinct capacity on which a human vocation is based. In chapter 5, we show the relevance of these traditions to Paul’s argument in Rom 1–8. In chapter 6, we defend our reading of Rom 12.1–2 in exegetical detail, which requires a novel grammatical solution and a close demonstration of how Epictetus, Diss. 1.16.20–21 functions as a parallel. In chapter 7 we show the implications of our new explanation for how Rom 12.1–2 frames Rom 12–15 and indicate how the idea of a human vocation might contribute to the integration of “theology” and “ethics” within an ancient context. Paul envisions a united community in which Jewish and Gentile Jesus-followers worship together as fulfilling their genuinely human vocation.

description: Warm dense matter (WDM)--an exotic, highly compressed state of matter between solid and plasma phases is of high current interest, in particular for astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion. For the latter, in particular the propagation of compression shocks is crucial. The main unknown in the shock propagation in WDM is the behavior of the electrons since they are governed by correlations, quantum and spin effects that need to be accounted for simultaneously. Here we describe the shock dynamics of the warm dense electron gas using a quantum hydrodynamic model. From the numerical hydrodynamic simulations we observe that the quantum Bohm pressure induces shear force which weakens the formation and strength of the shock. This is confirmed by the theoretical analysis of the early stage of the shock formation. Our theoretical and numerical analysis allows us to identify characteristic dimensionless shock propagation parameters at which the effect of the Bohm force is important.

description: Dorymyrmex pyramicus albemarlensis Wheeler, 1919
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173213). (Map 3)
This species is possibly endemic (LUBIN, 1984; F. Cuezzo pers. comm., XI.2009). It is distributed on 14 islands and is associated with natural areas. The first specimens were collected in 1898 on Isabela (WHEELER, 1919). This species builds nests in the soil, on sandy beaches, open areas between vegetation and lava (WHEELER, 1924; LUBIN, 1984), or in sandy patches within lava fields near the coast, surrounded by the occasional grass, trees of B. graveolens and Opuntia cacti.
Dorymyrmex pyramicus albemarlensis apparently prefers dry zones, where it feeds on extrafloral nectaries of the giant endemic cacti Opuntia echios Howell and Jasminocereus thouarsii (F. A.C. Weber) Backeb (Meier, 1994). The species can be found occasionaly in the Transition zone and rarely in humid areas. It has been collected in stands of Cryptocarpus pyriformis Kunth, under trees of Hippomane mancinella L., in forests of B. graveolens that also include Zanthoxylum fagara (L.) Sarg, Macraea laricifolia Hook. f., Cordia sp, Waltheria ovata Cav., C. scouleri, Darwiniothamnus lancifolius (Hook. f.) Harling, Alternanthera filifolia (Hook. f.) J.T. Howell and grasses. Dorymyrmex pyramicus albemarlensis is also recorded in areas with Scalesia affinis Hook. f., Castela galapageia Hook. f., Opuntia insularis Stewart, Cordia leucophlyctis Hook. f. and dry grass. Other records are from vegetation composed of Opuntia helleri K. Schum., C. scouleri, Cordia lutea Lam., Lantana peduncularis Andersson and dry litter. In the humid zone of Alcedo volcano (Isabela Island) workers were collected in a closed woodland of P. floribunda. Dorymyrmex pyramicus albemarlensis is preyed upon by Tmarus stolzmanni Keyserling, 1880, a crab-spider (Thomisidae) distributed in the arid and transition zones (LUBIN, 1983; BAERT, 2008). The invasive ants W. auropunctata and S. geminata could have displaced D. pyramicus albemarlensis on the islands of Santa Cruz and Baltra where it was once common (WHEELER, 1924).

We study non-embedded graphs under three distinct sets of dynamical rules and find non-trivial conserved quantities that can be expressed in terms of topological defects in the dual geometry. For graphs dual to 2-dimensional simplicial complexes we identify all the conserved quantities of the evolution. We also indicate expected results for graphs dual to 3-dimensional simplicial complexes.

Dessart (1974) described this species from male and female specimens. The species was named after Dr. G. Remaudière, who reared the specimens from aphids. Dessart reported that the holotype, the allotype, one female paratype, and seven male paratypes were given to Dr. Remaudière at the IPCP: in addition, Dessart (1974) reports a male paratype and a female paratype deposited at the MHNG, and four additional female paratypes and four male paratypes at the ISNB.
It appears that the specimens deposited at the IPCP were moved to the MNHN, likely following Dr. Remaudière’s retirement. CT found four specimens, including the holotype, the allotype and two male paratypes at the MNHN. CT contacted the IPCP but was told that the specimens are not there; it is uncertain what happened to the remaining six paratype specimens.
The male holotype specimen has three associated microscope preparations (prép. no. 7301/191). One slide (MNHN EY22469) contains the male genitalia, which are in poor condition; the second (MNHN EY22468) contains the metasoma and fragments. The last slide (MNHN EY22472) with the right antenna is broken, with the pieces gathered together in an envelope. The remainder of the specimen is point mounted (MNHN EY25335).
The female allotype is also point mounted (MNHN EY25336) and has two slide preparations (prép. no. 7301/194), with one slide containing the right fore and hind wings (MNHN EY22470) and the other slide containing the right antenna (MNHN EY22471). There are also two male paratypes that are point mounted (MNHN EY25337 and MNHN EY25338) and were not imaged.

description: We present an analysis of wind absorption in the C II $λ1335$ doublet towards 40 classical T Tauri stars with archival far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Absorption features produced by fast or slow winds are commonly detected (36 out of 40 targets) in our sample. The wind velocity of the fast wind decreases with disk inclination, consistent with expectations for a collimated jet. Slow wind absorption is detected mostly in disks with intermediate or high inclination, without a significant dependence of wind velocity on disk inclination. Both the fast and slow wind absorption are preferentially detected in FUV lines of neutral or singly ionized atoms. The Mg II $λλ2796,2804$ lines show wind absorption consistent with the absorption in the C II lines. We develop simplified semi-analytical disk/wind models to interpret the observational disk wind absorption. Both fast and slow winds are consistent with expectations from a thermal-magnetized disk wind model and are generally inconsistent with a purely thermal wind. Both the models and the observational analysis indicate that wind absorption occurs preferentially from the inner disk, offering a wind diagnostic in complement to optical forbidden line emission that traces the wind in larger volumes.

A Delphi application in the developing of a pattern language approach to health facilities design guidelines
Creators: name: Forbes, Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The use of Standards to reduce the complexity of Health Facilities Design has become an indispensable and integral part of the planning process. Unfortunately the structure of present Standards is inflexible, and while this structure may have been acceptable in the past, the standards it produces have become ineffective. Such Standards have been unable to adapt to the changing attitudes and needs of the planning participants who respond to the societal changes around them. It is our objective to develop a method which can build better Standards. In the first chapter we examine the structural problems of Standards and find that there is a fundamental difference between the positive purpose of Standards as used by hospitals and planners and the restrictive purposes of Standards used by government. We have used the terms Guidelines and Standards to denote these different contexts. Having established that a good Standard is one which is similar to a Guideline, we then explore an alternative structure developed at Berkeley, California, called a "Pattern" which we observe will satisfy the requirements for "good" Standards. Since Pattern formats are admirably suited to developing societally-responsive Guidelines and Standards we evolve a method to assemble these new Standards. This method is based upon the Delphi Technique. It uses the technique's inherent advantages to establish communication between two groups of experts (Planners and Medical) who then interact to explore problems and solutions in planning Newborn Nurseries and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The methodology which is described in Chapter 2 uses the classical components of a Policy Delphi with three rounds of questionnaires sent to Medical Experts (Physicians and Nurses) in various parts of British Columbia and Alberta. It adds such variations as the including of input from the Planner Experts as one method for the feed back of information. This special Delphi design anticipates effects from independent variables and builds in compensatory steps. One of the steps included is a Mini-Survey of a larger group of potential participants, to evaluate the Patterns resulting from the Delphi Study. This larger group was sixteen hospitals in British Columbia and ten hospitals in Alberta. Chapter 3 describes the details in carrying out the three questioning rounds of this modified Delphi method, and its success in assisting the production of a series of Nursery Patterns which are usable as Guidelines. In the methodology is the inherent capability for retaining flexibility, and there are a series of process adjustments that occur. Evaluation of the method in Chapter 4 shows that despite weaknesses, both anticipated and unanticipated, the results provide an important starting point that helps create better, more usable Standards. Possible future developments are briefly mentioned in the hope that evaluation and change will occur as the planning environment changes about us.

Ghost Ant (DEYRUP et al., 2000)
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173215). (Map 4)
A cosmopolitan ant, widespread in the tropics, subtropics and temperate regions (KEMPF, 1972; BOLTON et al., 2006; WETTERER, 2015). Tapinoma melanocephalum is a tramp species introduced through trade to many parts of the world (PASSERA, 1994; WETTERER, 2009a). It was collected for the first time in 1891 on San Cristóbal Island (EMERY, 1893; WHEELER, 1919). It is widely distributed in Galápagos on 17 islands and islets and found often in the Dry Zone in natural as well as disturbed habitats. Nests are found under and inside dead branches of B. graveolens abandoned by termites (WHEELER, 1924), under rocks, rotten logs, bark of dead– dry trees and house walls. This species has been collected in trunks of B. graveolens and several plant species, such as Parkinsonia aculeata L. and Psidium guajava L. Tapinoma melanocephalum is a diurnal species (LUBIN, 1984) that has been observed feeding on nectar from flowers of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. and extrafloral nectaries of O. echios and J thouarsii (MEIER, 1994). Visit flowers of Avicennia germinans (L.), Ipomoea habeliana Oliv., O. helleri, Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. and Scalesia atractyloides Arn. Workers were
9 observed transferring pollen of C. lutea flowers (MCMULLEN, 1986, 1990, 1993, 2009; Chamorro et al., 2012). Tapinoma melanocephalum can be common in the agricultural areas where it can attend Hemiptera species for honeydew, e.g on Brassica oleracea var. italic Plenck. It is common in human settlements.

description: The Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations derived from string theory tell us that perturbative gravity amplitudes are the "square" of the corresponding amplitudes in gauge theory. Starting from the light-cone Lagrangian for pure gravity we make these relations manifest off-shell, for three- and four-graviton vertices, at the level of the action.

Brown dwarfs as ideal candidates for detecting UV aurora outside the Solar System: Hubble Space Telescope observations of 2MASS J1237+6526

description: Context: Observations of auroral emissions are powerful means to remotely sense the space plasma environment around planetary bodies and ultracool dwarfs. Therefore successful searches and characterization of aurorae outside the Solar System will open new avenues in the area of extrasolar space physics. Aims: We aim to demonstrate that brown dwarfs are ideal objects to search for UV aurora outside the Solar System. We specifically search for UV aurora on the late-type T6.5 brown dwarf 2MASS J12373919+6526148 (in the following 2MASS J1237+6526). Methods: Introducing a parameter referred to as auroral power potential, we derive scaling models for auroral powers for rotationally driven aurora applicable to a broad range of wavelengths. We also analyze Hubble Space Telescope observations obtained with the STIS camera at near-UV, far-UV, and Ly-$α$ wavelengths of 2MASS J1237+6526. Results: We show that brown dwarfs, due to their typically strong surface magnetic fields and fast rotation, can produce auroral UV powers on the order of 10$^{19}$ watt or more. Considering their negligible thermal UV emission, their potentially powerful auroral emissions make brown dwarfs ideal candidates for detecting extrasolar aurorae. We find possible emission from 2MASS J1237+6526, but cannot conclusively attribute it to the brown dwarf due to low signal-to-noise values in combination with nonsystematic trends in the background fluxes. The observations provide upper limits for the emission at various UV wavelength bands. The upper limits for the emission correspond to a UV luminosity of $\sim$1 $\times$ 10$^{19}$ watt, which lies in the range of the theoretically expected values. Conclusions: The possible auroral emission from the dwarf could be produced by a close-in companion and/or magnetospheric transport processes.

description: Dilepton production in $pp$ and $Au+Au$ nucleus-nucleus collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV as well as in $In+In$ and $Pb+Au$ at 158 A$\cdot$GeV is studied within the microscopic HSD transport approach. A comparison to the data from the PHENIX Collaboration at RHIC shows that standard in-medium effects of the $ρ, ω$ vector mesons - compatible with the NA60 data for $In+In$ at 158 A$\cdot$GeV and the CERES data for $Pb+Au$ at 158 A$\cdot$GeV - do not explain the large enhancement observed in the invariant mass regime from 0.2 to 0.5 GeV in $Au+Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV relative to $pp$ collisions.

description: We present a simple model in which the bullets that produce the "Orion fingers" (ejected by the BN/KL object) are interpreted as protoplanets or low mass protostars in orbit around a high mass star that has a supernova explosion. As the remnant of the SN explosion has only a small fraction of the mass of the pre-supernova star, the orbiting objects then move away in free trajectories, preserving their orbital velocity at the time of release. We show that a system of objects arranged in approximately co-planar orbits results in trajectories with morphological and kinematical characteristics resembling the Orion fingers. We show that, under the assumption of constant velocity motions, the positions of the observed heads of the fingers can be used to reconstruct the properties of the orbital structure from which they originated, resulting in a compact disk with an outer radius of $\sim 2.4$~AU.

description: We report the specific heat (SH) measurements on single crystals of hole doped $FeAs$-based superconductor $Ba_{0.6}K_{0.4}Fe_2As_2$. It is found that the electronic SH coefficient $γ_e(T)$ is not temperature dependent and increases almost linearly with the magnetic field in low temperature region. These point to a fully gapped superconducting state. Surprisingly the sharp SH anomaly $ΔC/T|_{T_c}$ reaches a value of 98 $mJ/mol K^2$ suggesting a very high normal state quasiparticle density of states ($γ_n \approx 63 mJ/mol K^2$). A detailed analysis reveals that the $γ_e(T)$ cannot be fitted with a single gap of s-wave symmetry due to the presence of a hump in the middle temperature region. However, our data indicate that the dominant part of the superconducting condensate is induced by an s-wave gap with the magnitude of about 6 meV.
