Outgassing Behavior of C/2012 S1 (ISON) From September 2011 to June 2013
We report photometric observations for comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) obtained during
the time period immediately after discovery (r=6.28 AU) until it moved into
solar conjunction in mid-2013 June using the UH2.2m, and Gemini North 8-m
telescopes on Mauna Kea, the Lowell 1.8m in Flagstaff, the Calar Alto 1.2m
telescope in Spain, the VYSOS-5 telescopes on Mauna Loa Hawaii and data from
the CARA network. Additional pre-discovery data from the Pan STARRS1 survey
extends the light curve back to 2011 September 30 (r=9.4 AU). The images showed
a similar tail morphology due to small micron sized particles throughout 2013.
Observations at sub-mm wavelengths using the JCMT on 15 nights between 2013
March 9 (r=4.52 AU) and June 16 (r=3.35 AU) were used to search for CO and HCN
rotation lines. No gas was detected, with upper limits for CO ranging between
(3.5-4.5)E27 molec/s. Combined with published water production rate estimates
we have generated ice sublimation models consistent with the photometric light
curve. The inbound light curve is likely controlled by sublimation of CO2. At
these distances water is not a strong contributor to the outgassing. We also
infer that there was a long slow outburst of activity beginning in late 2011
peaking in mid-2013 January (r~5 AU) at which point the activity decreased
again through 2013 June. We suggest that this outburst was driven by CO
injecting large water ice grains into the coma. Observations as the comet came
out of solar conjunction seem to confirm our models.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, 3 table
The relation between anger coping strategies, anger mood and somatic complaints in children and adolescents
Attempts to explain the experience of somatic complaints among children and adolescents suggest that they may in part result from the influence of particular strategies for coping with anger on the longevity of negative emotions. To explore these relationships British (n = 393) and Dutch (n = 299) children completed a modified version of the Behavioral Anger Response Questionnaire (BARQ), and two additional questionnaires assessing anger mood and somatic complaints. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that for both the UK and Dutch samples two coping styles, Social support-seeking and Rumination, made a significant contribution to somatic complaints, over and above the variance explained by anger mood. A tendency to repeatedly think or talk about an angering event as a way of coping seems to underlie the observed negative health effects. In addition, tentative support is given for a broader range of strategies to cope with anger than just the traditionally studied anger-out and anger-in styles. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC
The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes
The genetic architecture of common traits, including the number, frequency, and effect sizes of inherited variants that contribute to individual risk, has been long debated. Genome-wide association studies have identified scores of common variants associated with type 2 diabetes, but in aggregate, these explain only a fraction of heritability. To test the hypothesis that lower-frequency variants explain much of the remainder, the GoT2D and T2D-GENES consortia performed whole genome sequencing in 2,657 Europeans with and without diabetes, and exome sequencing in a total of 12,940 subjects from five ancestral groups. To increase statistical power, we expanded sample size via genotyping and imputation in a further 111,548 subjects. Variants associated with type 2 diabetes after sequencing were overwhelmingly common and most fell within regions previously identified by genome-wide association studies. Comprehensive enumeration of sequence variation is necessary to identify functional alleles that provide important clues to disease pathophysiology, but large-scale sequencing does not support a major role for lower-frequency variants in predisposition to type 2 diabetes
