The disrupted molecular envelope of Frosty Leo ,
We present maps of CO emission in the protoplanetary nebula Frosty Leo. Observations of the rotational transitions 12CO J = 2−1 and 1–0 have been obtained with the IRAM interferometer and the OVRO array. The molecular envelope of Frosty Leo is found to be complex and compact; most of the gas extends <∼6′′ and shows a structure that is very different to the extended optical nebula. It is compose...
متن کاملThe icy side of Frosty Leo
An imaging study of the bipolar nebula Frosty Leo is presented. In particular, we have studied the effects of spatial distribution of H2O ice on the circumstellar environment. Using the Keck telescope with the NIRC infrared camera, we have recovered images at a wavelength of 3.08 μm within the prominent (attenuation of about 5 mag) water-ice absorption band, and in the adjacent quasi-continuum ...
متن کاملThe structure and momentum of multiple collimated outflows in the protoplanetary nebula Frosty Leo
We have discovered multiple jet-like features in the inner regions of the protoplanetary nebula (PPN) Frosty Leo, in optical images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. Frosty Leo is only the second PPN (after CRL2688) and the first oxygen-rich one, to show well-focussed jets close to the equatorial plane. The nebula consists of two bright compact structures embedded inside two large tenuo...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of the extinct cave lion Panthera leo spelaea.
To reconstruct the phylogenetic position of the extinct cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea), we sequenced 1 kb of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from two Pleistocene cave lion DNA samples (47 and 32 ky B.P.). Phylogenetic analysis shows that the ancient sequences form a clade that is most closely related to the extant lions from Africa and Asia; at the same time, cave lions appear to be highl...
متن کاملPeeking through a frosty window: molecular insights into the ecology of Arctic soil fungi
Fungi are ubiquitous in Arctic soils, where they function as symbionts and decomposers and may affect the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems subjected to climate change, and yet little is known about soil fungi at high latitudes. Here we review data from recent molecular studies to determine broad patterns in Arctic soil fungal ecology. The data indicate comparatively high fungal diversit...
