A population of comets in the main asteroid belt.
Comets are icy bodies that sublimate and become active when close to the Sun. They are believed to originate in two cold reservoirs beyond the orbit of Neptune: the Kuiper Belt (equilibrium temperatures of approximately 40 kelvin) and the Oort Cloud (approximately 10 kelvin). We present optical data showing the existence of a population of comets originating in a third reservoir: the main aster...
متن کاملThe Main Belt Comets and ice in the Solar System
We review the evidence for buried ice in the asteroid belt; specifically the questions around the so-called Main Belt Comets (MBCs). We summarise the evidence for water throughout the Solar System, and describe the various methods for detecting it, including remote sensing from ultraviolet to radio wavelengths. We review progress in the first decade of study of MBCs, including observations, mod...

an inferior hand of genes. Fetuses are today commonly screened for genetic disorders and this service will no doubt expand. An American company has devised a one-inch chip carrying 400,000 DNA fragments, which will allow the entire human genome to be screened for an average of four alleles per gene. The difference between eliminating the undesirable and promoting the advantageous is becoming to...
متن کاملMedical Comets: Scholarly Contributions
collection of pages from lecture notes, the lab manual, and figures from Haines and Nolte. In other words, for medical students studying neuroanatomy there was no single yet comprehensive source that would address the gritty neuroanatomical details and yet present integrative cases that would illustrate the diseases such as Parkinson's in the context of a clinical setting. So when I had the cha...
متن کاملObservations of molecules in comets
Comets are among the most primitive bodies of the Solar System, and their chemical composition is rich in information on the protosolar nebula and its possible connection with interstellar cloud chemistry. Comets are also a source of light atoms and probably of prebiotic organic molecules for the early Earth. We know better and better cometary volatiles through spectroscopy, mainly at infrared ...
