Whole genome shotgun phylogenomics resolve the diving beetle tree of life
A new and strongly supported phylogeny of diving beetles (Dytiscidae) is presented using the largest genomic dataset to date. Laccophilinae and Coptotominae + Lancetinae are early diverging lineages excluded from a large monophyletic clade comprising the remaining eight subfamilies. We identify seven remaining problems in the backbone of the phylogeny,

Rates and redshift distribution of high-z supernovae [PDF]
Using observed star formation rates at redshifts up to z ~ 5, we calculate cosmic supernova rates for core collapse and Type Ia supernovae. Together with supernova statistics and detailed light curves, we estimate the number of supernovae, and their distribution in redshift, that should be detectable in different filters with various instruments ...

Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Combining Low‐Valent AlI and SnII Metal Centers for Small Molecule Activation
Salt metathesis between AlI and SnII complexes gives an electron‐rich complex with an AlSn bond which can be described as a weak polar bond between AlII and SnI open shell fragments. Electronic structure and reactivity are discussed. The recently discovered class of potassium aluminyl complexes (R2Al−K+) enables facile access to heterobimetallic Al ...

Radio Supernovae and the Square Kilometer Array [PDF]
Detailed radio observations of extragalactic supernovae are critical to obtaining valuable information about the nature and evolutionary phase of the progenitor star in the period of a few hundred to several tens-of-thousands of years before explosion.
arxiv
Analysis of the polarization of light from supernovae can reveal the shape and distribution of matter ejected from exploding stars. Here we review the young field of Type Ia supernova spectropolarimetry and critically evaluate, and place in context, the recent work of Wang et al.

Why Schonland Failed in His Search for Runaway Electrons From Thunderstorms
Abstract B.F.J. Schonland, advised and encouraged by C.T.R. Wilson, made two unsuccessful searches for runaway electrons from thunderstorms in the 1930s. These findings stand in marked contrast with research results over the last decade and ironically set this field of research back many decades.

Water‐soluble luminophores prepared by sulfonation of heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes enable judicious tailoring of properties for unprecedented control of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reaction pathways in aqueous solution. This approach removes a longstanding barrier to the translation of high‐efficiency and multicolored ECL systems developed in

Gamma-ray emission from young supernova remnants: Hadronic or leptonic?
The debate on the nature of the gamma-ray emission from young supernova remnants is still open. Ascribing such emission to hadronic rather than leptonic processes would provide an evidence for the acceleration of protons and nuclei, and this fact would ...
