We present heat-capacity measurements of the upper critical fields of single-crystal ${\text{NdFeAsO}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{F}}_{x}$. In zero-magnetic field a clear step in the heat capacity is observed at ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{\approx}47\text{ }\text{K}$. In fields applied perpendicular to the FeAs layers the step broadens significantly whereas for the in-plane orientation the field effects are small. This โ€ฆ
