We construct for the first time, the sequences of stable neutron star (NS) models capable of explaining simultaneously, the
glitch healing parameters, Q, of both the pulsars, the Crab (Q≥0.7) and the Vela (Q≤0.2), on the basis of starquake mechanism of glitch generation, whereas the conventional NS models cannot give such consistent
explanation. Furthermore, our models also yield an upper bound on NS masses similar to those obtained in the literature for
a variety of modern equations of state (EOSs) compatible with causality and dynamical stability. If the lower limit of the
observational constraint of (i) Q≥0.7 for the Crab pulsar and (ii) the recent value of the moment of inertia for the Crab pulsar (evaluated on the basis of
time-dependent acceleration model of the Crab Nebula), I
Crab,45≥1.93 (where I

This paper presents the results of the distribution of trace elements in Estonian mires. Sixty four mires, representative of the different landscape units, were analyzed for the content of 16 trace elements (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb using AAS; Cd by GF-AAS; Hg by the cold vapour method; and V, Co, As, Sr, Mo, Th, and U by XRF) as well as other peat characteristics (peat type, degree of humification, pH and ash content). The results of the research show that concentrations of trace elements in peat are generally low: V 3.8 ± 0.6, Cr 3.1 ± 0.2, Mn 35.1 ± 2.7, Co 0.50 ± 0.05, Ni 3.7 ± 0.2, Cu 4.4 ± 0.3, Zn 10.0 ± 0.7, As 2.4 ± 0.3, Sr 21.9 ± 0.9, Mo 1.2 ± 0.2, Cd 0.12 ± 0.01, Hg 0.05 ± 0.01, Pb 3.3 ± 0.2, Th 0.47 ± 0.05, U 1.3 ± 0.2 μg g− 1 and S 0.25 ± 0.02%. Statistical analyses on these large database showed that Co has the highest positive correlations with many elements and ash content. As, Ni, Mo, ash content and pH are also significantly correlated. The lowest abundance of most trace elements was recorded in mires fed only by precipitation (ombrotrophic), and the highest in mires fed by groundwater and springs (minerotrophic), which are situated in the flood plains of river valleys. Concentrations usually differ between the superficial, middle and bottom peat layers, but the significance decreases depending on the type of mire in the following order: transitional mires – raised bogs – fens. Differences among mire types are highest for the superficial but not significant for the basal peat layers.The use of peat with high concentrations of trace elements in agriculture, horticulture, as fuel, for water purification etc., may pose a risk for humans: via the food chain, through inhalation, drinking water etc. 相似文献

We study the stability of motion in the 3-body Sitnikov problem, with the two equal mass primaries (m
1 = m
2 = 0.5) rotating in the x, y plane and vary the mass of the third particle, 0 ≤ m
3 < 10−3, placed initially on the z-axis. We begin by finding for the restricted problem (with m
3 = 0) an apparently infinite sequence of stability intervals on the z-axis, whose width grows and tends to a fixed non-zero value, as we move away from z = 0. We then estimate the extent of “islands” of bounded motion in x, y, z space about these intervals and show that it also increases as |z| grows. Turning to the so-called extended Sitnikov problem, where the third particle moves only along the z-axis, we find that, as m
3 increases, the domain of allowed motion grows significantly and chaotic regions in phase space appear through a series of
saddle-node bifurcations. Finally, we concentrate on the general 3-body problem and demonstrate that, for very small masses, m
3 ≈ 10−6, the “islands” of bounded motion about the z-axis stability intervals are larger than the ones for m
3 = 0. Furthermore, as m
3 increases, it is the regions of bounded motion closest to z = 0 that disappear first, while the ones further away “disperse” at larger m
3 values, thus providing further evidence of an increasing stability of the motion away from the plane of the two primaries,
as observed in the m
3 = 0 case. 相似文献

Part five of optically identified point sources from the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) contains data on 19 late-type stars.
The identifications were based on the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS), the First Byurakan Survey (FBS), blue and red maps of the

A rigorous theoretical investigation of nonlinear electron-acoustic (EA) waves in a plasma system (containing cold electrons, hot electrons obeying a Boltzmann distribution, and hot ions obeying a nonthermal distribution) is studied by the reductive perturbation method. The modified Gardner (MG) equation is derived and numerically solved. It has been found that the basic characteristics of the EA Gardner solitons (GSs), which are shown to exist for α around its critical value α c [where α is the nonthermal parameter, α c is the value of α corresponding to the vanishing of the nonlinear coefficient of the Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation, e.g. α c ≃0.31 for μ=n h0/n i0=0.5, σ=T h /T i =10, n h0, n i0 are, respectively, hot electron and nonthermal ion number densities at equilibrium, T h (T i ) is the hot electron (ion) temperature], are different from those of the K-dV solitons, which do not exist for α around α c , and mixed K-dV solitons, which are valid around α∼α c , but do not have any corresponding double layers (DLs) solution. The parametric regimes for the existence of the DLs, which are found to be associated with positive potential, are obtained. The present investigations can be observed in various space plasma environments (viz. the geomagnetic tail, the auroral regions, the cusp of the terrestrial magnetosphere, etc.). 相似文献

We correlate Upper Pleistocene glacial and fluvial deposits of the Cinca and Gállego River valleys (south central Pyrenees and Ebro basin, Spain) using geomorphic position, luminescence dates, and time-related trends in soil development. The ages obtained from glacial deposits indicate glacial periods at 85 ± 5 ka, 64 ± 11 ka, and 36 ± 3 ka (from glacial till) and 20 ± 3 ka (from loess). The fluvial drainage system, fed by glaciers in the headwaters, developed extensive terrace systems in the Cinca River valley at 178 ± 21 ka, 97 ± 16 ka, 61 ± 4 ka, 47 ± 4 ka, and 11 ± 1 ka, and in the Gállego River valley at 151 ± 11 ka, 68 ± 7 ka, and 45 ± 3 ka. The times of maximum geomorphic activity related to cold phases coincide with Late Pleistocene marine isotope stages and Heinrich events. The maximum extent of glaciers during the last glacial occurred at 64 ± 11 ka, and the terraces correlated with this glacial phase are the most extensive in both the Cinca (61 ± 4 ka) and Gállego (68 ± 7 ka) valleys, indicating a strong increase in fluvial discharge and availability of sediments related to the transition to deglaciation. The global Last Glacial Maximum is scarcely represented in the south central Pyrenees owing to dominantly dry conditions at that time. Precipitation must be controlled by the position of the Iberian Peninsula with respect to the North Atlantic atmospheric circulation system. The glacial systems and the associated fluvial dynamic seem sensitive to 1) global climate changes controlled by insolation, 2) North Atlantic thermohaline circulation influenced by freshwater pulses into the North Atlantic, and 3) anomalies in atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic controlling precipitation on the Iberian Peninsula. Our scenario of glacial and fluvial evolution during the Late Pleistocene in northern Spain could be extrapolated to other glaciated mountainous areas in southern Europe. 相似文献

We consider the Irvine-Yanovistkii modification of the shadow model developed by Hapke for the opposition effect of brightness. The relation between the single scattering albedo ω and the transparency coefficient of particles κ is suggested to be used in the form κ = (1 ? ω) n , which allows the number of unknowns in the model to be reduced to two parameters (the packing density of particles g and ω) and the single-scattering phase function χ(α). The analysis of spectrophotometric measurements of the moon and Mars showed that the data on the observed opposition effect and the changes in the color index with the phase angle α well agree if the values of n = 0.25 and g = 0.4 (the moon) and 0.6 (Mars) are assumed in calculations. When being applied to asteroids of several types, this method also yielded a satisfactory agreement. For the E-type asteroids, the sets of parameters are [g = 0.6, ω = 0.6, A g = 0.21, and q = 0.83] or [g = 0.3, ω = 0.4, A g = 0.15, and q = 0.71] under the Martian single-scattering phase function; for the M-type asteroids, it is [g = 0.4, ω ≤ 0.1, A g ≤ 0.075, and q ≤ 0.42] under the lunar single-scattering phase function; for the S-type asteroids, it is [g = 0.4, ω = 0.4, A g = 0.28, and q = 0.49] under the lunar single-scattering phase function; and for the C-type asteroids, it is [g = 0.6, ω ≤ 0.1, A g ≤ 0.075, and q = 0.43] under the modified lunar single-scattering phase function. The polarization measurements fulfilled by Gehrels et al. (1964) for the bright feature on the lunar surface, Copernicus (L = -20°08′, φ = +10°11′), at a phase angle α = 1.6° revealed the deviations in the position of the polarization plane from that typical for the negative branch. They were 22° and 12° in the G and I filters, respectively. At the same time, the deviation was within the error (±3°) in the U filter and for the dark feature Plato (L = -10°32′, φ = +51°25′), which can be caused by the coherent mechanism of the formation of the polarization peak. 相似文献

Résumé Dans l'exposé qui va suivre, nous rappelons d'abord le système d'équations et le mode d'intégration que nous avons utilisés pour construire une théorie littérale du problème principal du mouvement de la Lune. En particulier, puisque, du fait de la présence des petits diviseurs, nous avons à effectuer plusieurs itérations à un ordre donné, pour obtenir tous les termes correspondant à cet ordre, nous allons étudier un système d'équations réduit qui se substitue au système complet, après la première intégration à un ordre donné. Ce système permet d'alléger au maximum les calculs.Nous étudions alors la convergence formelle de la solution littérale obtenue. Cette démonstration est faite par récurrence. Au cours de celle-ci, nous avons utilisé les propriétés du système d'équations réduit (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, et C12), système dont nous donnons dans les tableaux I à IV, les coefficients et les arguments. L'étude de l'ordre des termes engendrés par ce système nous permet de conclure que, si l'on connaît tous les termes d'ordren–1 alors on peut déterminer tous les termes d'ordren.Enfin, nous indiquons les résultats que nous avons actuellement obtenus par cette méthode.
In this paper, we first recall the set of equations and the method of integration for a literal solution of the main problem of the lunar theory. As, owing to small divisors, we have to make many iterations at a given order to obtain all the corresponding terms, we study a restricted set of equations which replaces the complete system after the first integration at a given order. This set helps to make the calculations less bulky.Then we study the formal convergence of the literal solution thus obtained. The demonstration uses a recurrent process in which we made use of the properties of the restricted system of equations (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 and C12), the coefficients and arguments of which are given in Tables I to IV.The study of the order of magnitude of the terms formed by this system leads to the conclusion that if then–1 order terms are known, all then-order terms may be determined.In the end, we show the results obtained so far with this method.相似文献

By the mapping observations simultaneously at the 12CO (J=1-0), 13CO (J=1-0), and C18O (J=1-0) lines on the area of 24’×24’ (12 pc×12 pc) of the star forming region AFGL 5157, we have obtained the distribution and averaged physical parameters for the respective 13CO and C18O cores of this molecu- lar cloud. At the edge of the molecular cloud, the isotopic abundance ratio is X [(13CO)/(C18O)] ≈ 10, close to the ratio of a giant molecular cloud. The viral masses of the 13CO and C18O cores are less than the masses of the molecu-lar cloud cores, so the molecular cloud cores are gravitationally unstable, and the C18O molecular cloud core is more easy to collapse. The column density distributions of the C18O molecular cloud core in the northeast and southwest directions are, respectively, 1.1 × 1023× z−0.43 and 4.6 × 1025× z−0.58, where z is the distance from the center of the molecular cloud core. The high velocity molecular out?ow has been con?rmed from our 12CO spectra, the mass loss rate of the out?ow has been estimated, and the mass-velocity relation of the out?ow is ?tted by a power-law function of m ∝ v−1.8. The star formation rate of the 13CO molecular cloud core is as high as 23%, probably, under the in?uence of 相似文献

Numerical simulations of jovian vortices at tropical and temperate latitudes, under different atmospheric conditions, have been performed using the EPIC code [Dowling, T.E., Fisher, A.S., Gierasch, P.J., Harrington, J., LeBeau, R.P., Santori, C.M., 1998. Icarus 132, 221-238] to simulate the high-resolution observations of motions and of the lifetimes presented in a previous work [Legarreta, J., Sánchez-Lavega, A., 2005. Icarus 174, 178-191] and infer the vertical structure of Jupiter's troposphere. We first find that in order to reproduce the longevity and drift rate of the vortices, the Brunt-Väisälä frequency of the atmosphere in the upper troposphere (pressures P∼1 to 7 bar) should have a lower limit value of 5×10−3 s−1, increasing upward up to 1.25×10−2 s−1 at pressures P∼0.5 bar (latitudes between 15° and 45° in both hemispheres). Second, the vortices drift also depend on the vertical structure of the zonal wind speed in the same range of altitudes. Simulations of the slowly drifting Southern hemisphere vortices (GRS, White Ovals and anticyclones at 40° S) require a vertically-constant zonal-wind with depth, but Northern hemisphere vortices (cyclonic “barges” and anticyclones at 19, 41 and 45° N) require decreasing winds at a rate of ∼5 m s−1 per scale height. However vortices drifting at a high speed, close to or in the peak of East or West jets and in both hemispheres, require the wind speed slightly increasing with depth, as is the case for the anticyclones at 20° S and at 34° N. We deduce that the maximum absolute vertical shear of the zonal wind from P∼1 bar up to P∼7 bar in these jets is ∼15 m s−1 per scale height. Intense vortices with tangential velocity at their periphery ∼100 m s−1 tend to decay asymptotically to velocities ∼40 to 60 m s−1 with a characteristic time that depends on the vortex intensity and static stability of the atmosphere. The vortices adjust their tangential velocity to the averaged peak to peak velocity of the opposed eastward and westward jets at their boundary. We show through our simulations that large-scale and long-lived vortices whose maximum tangential velocity is ∼100 m s−1 can survive by absorbing smaller intense vortices. 相似文献

The 12-month running means of the conventional sunspot number Rz, the sunspot group numbers (SGN) and the frequency of occurrence of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were examined for cycle
23 (1996 – 2006). For the whole disc, the SGN and Rz plots were almost identical. Hence, SGN could be used as a proxy for Rz, for which latitude data are not available. SGN values were used for 5° latitude belts 0° – 5°, 5° – 10°, 10° – 15°, 15° – 20°,
20° – 25°, 25° – 30° and > 30°, separately in each hemisphere north and south. Roughly, from latitudes 25° – 30° N to 20° – 25°
N, the peaks seem to have occurred later for lower latitudes, from latitudes 20° – 25° N to 15° – 20° N, the peaks are stagnant or occur slightly earlier, and then from latitudes 15° – 20° N to 0° – 5° N, the peaks seem to have occurred again later for lower latitudes. Thus, some latitudinal migration is suggested, clearly in the northern hemisphere, not very clearly
in the southern hemisphere, first to the equator in 1998, stagnant or slightly poleward in 1999, and then to the equator again
from 2000 onwards, the latter reminiscent of the Maunder butterfly diagrams. Similar plots for CME occurrence frequency also
showed multiple peaks (two or three) in almost all latitude belts, but the peaks were almost simultaneous at all latitudes,
indicating no latitudinal migration. For similar latitude belts, SGN and CME plots were dissimilar in almost all latitude
belts except 10° – 20° S. The CME plots had in general more peaks than the SGN plots, and the peaks of SGN often did not match
with those of CME. In the CME data, it was noticed that whereas the values declined from 2002 to 2003, there was no further
decline during 2003 – 2006 as one would have expected to occur during the declining phase of sunspots, where 2007 is almost
a year of sunspot minimum. An inquiry at GSFC-NASA revealed that the person who creates the preliminary list was changed in
2004 and the new person picks out more weak CMEs. Thus a subjectivity (overestimates after 2002) seems to be involved and
hence, values obtained before and during 2002 are not directly comparable to values recorded after 2002, except for CMEs with
widths exceeding 60°. 相似文献

The sample of 37 485 suspected OB stars selected by Gontcharov (2008) from the Tycho-2 catalogue has been cleaned of the stars that are not of spectral types OV-A0V. For this purpose, the apparent magnitude V T from Tycho-2, the absolute magnitude $M_{V_T }$ calibrated as a function of the dereddened color index (B T ? V T )0, the interstellar extinction $A_{V_T }$ calculated from the 3D analytical model by Gontcharov (2009) as a function of the Galactic coordinates, and the photometric distance r ph calculated as a function of V T , $M_{V_T }$ , and $A_{V_T }$ have been reconciled in an iterative process. The 20 514 stars that passed the iterations have (B T ? V T )0 < 0 and $M_{V_T }$ > ?5 and are considered as a sample of OV-A0V stars complete within 350 pc of the Sun. Based on the theoretical relation between the dereddened color and age of the stars, the derived sample has been divided into three subsamples: (B T ? V T )0 < ?0.2, ?0.2 < (B T ? V T )0 < ?0.1, and ?0.1 < (B T ? V T )0 < 0, younger than 100, 100?C200, and 200?C400 Myr, respectively. The spatial distribution of all 20 514 stars and the kinematics analyzed for more than 1500 stars with radial velocities from the PCRV and RAVE catalogues are different for the subsamples, showing smooth rotations, shears, and deformations of the layer of gas producing stars with the formation of the Gould Belt, the Great Tunnel, the Local Bubble, and other structures within the last 200 Myr. The detected temporal variations of the velocity dispersions, solar motion components, Ogorodnikov-Milne model parameters, and Oort constants are significant, agree with the results of other authors, and show that it is meaningless to calculate the kinematic parameters for samples of stars with uncertain ages or with a wide range of ages. 相似文献

Results of impact fragmentation experiments for basalts and pyrophyllites are reported. Aluminum cylindrical projectiles were impacted on cubic basalt and pyrophyllite targets at velocities of 70 to 990 m/sec. The targets and projectiles were 20 g to 3.3 kg and 2 to 20 g in weight respectively. Weights of the fragments produced by impacts were measured and the size distributions of fragments were examined. Data of the largest fragment mass (mL) normalized to the original target mass (Mt), mL/Mt, correlate better with the nondimensional impact stress, PI, a new scaling parameter introduced by H. Mizutani, Y. Takagi, and S. Kawakami (1984, in preparation) than the conventional projectile's kinetic energy per unit target mass, E/Mt, used in the previous studies. All the mL/Mt data for basalts obtained in the present study are summarized by mL/Mt = 2.95 × 10?2PI?1 where PI = P0L3/YR3, P0 = peak shock pressure, L = projectile size, R = target size and Y = material strength of target. For aluminum targets, however, the mL/Mt is 2.5 orders of magnitude larger than that for brittle targets at impacts with the same PI. Size distributions of fragments expressed in a log N - log (m/Mt) diagram divided into three regimes bounded by two inflection points. In each regime the curve is expressed by . The slopes, a, of the log curves in the regimes of a large and a medium size range are positively correlated with the nondimensional impact stress, PI, and expressed as a = C3 + a3log PI. The slopes, a, in the smallest size range are, on the other hand, nearly constant and have values of . Present results indicate that the impact fragmentation is scaled well by the new scaling parameter, PI, of Mizutani, Takagi, and Kawakami and that the present experimental data may shed new light on planetary impact processes. 相似文献

It is well known that the interaction of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) with the solar wind leads to an equalisation
of the ICME and solar wind velocities at 1 AU. This can be understood in terms of an aerodynamic drag force per unit mass
of the form F
D/M=−(ρe
AC
D/M)(V
i−V
e)∣V
i−V
e∣, where A and M are the ICME cross-section and sum of the mass and virtual mass, V
i and V
e the speed of the ICME and solar wind, ρe the solar wind density, C
D a dimensionless drag coefficient, and the inverse deceleration length γ=ρe
A/M. The optimal radial parameterisation of γ and C
D beyond approximately 15 solar radii is calculated. Magnetohydrodynamic simulations show that for dense ICMEs, C
D varies slowly between the Sun and 1 AU, and is of order unity. When the ICME and solar wind densities are similar, C
D is larger (between 3 and 10), but remains approximately constant with radial distance. For tenuous ICMEs, the ICME and solar
wind velocities equalise rapidly due to the very effective drag force. For ICMEs denser that the ambient solar wind, both
approaches show that γ is approximately independent of radius, while for tenuous ICMEs, γ falls off linearly with distance.
When the ICME density is similar to or less than that in the solar wind, inclusion of virtual mass effects is essential. 相似文献

Evaluation of the intermediate-term periodicities in solar and cosmic ray activities during cycle 23
In this paper we investigate the presence and temporal evolution of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) time-series and three solar
parameters, namely the daily sunspot number, the coronal green line and the 10.7 cm solar radio flux over the period 1996–2003
by the wavelet technique. A number of short- and intermediate-term quasi-periodicities were also detected in both GCR and
solar parameters. For the short-term range, we have identified quasi-periods of 16–30 days, 40–55 days, 60–70 days, 80–90 days
and 80–100 days. In the case of intermediate range, the significant periods were 120–140 days, 150–170 days, 190–210 days,
240–260 days, ≈1.09 yr. and ≈1.23 yr. The wavelet power spectra show that all the above-mentioned periods are intermittent
in nature and occurred in different time-series in different intervals. The result exhibits that the well-known “Rieger period”
of (150–160 days) was prominent in both GCR and solar data sets during the ascending phase of cycle 23. Possible reasons behind
the observed periods were discussed with the help of previous results and existing numerical models. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted in conjunction with the total solar eclipse on 29 March 2006 in Libya to measure both the electron
temperature and its flow speed simultaneously at multiple locations in the low solar corona by measuring the visible K-coronal
spectrum. Coronal model spectra incorporating the effects of electron temperature and its flow speed were matched with the
measured K-coronal spectra to interpret the observations. Results show electron temperatures of (1.10±0.05) MK, (0.70±0.08) MK,
and (0.98±0.12) MK, at 1.1 R
⊙ from Sun center in the solar north, east and west, respectively, and (0.93±0.12) MK, at 1.2 R
⊙ from Sun center in the solar west. The corresponding outflow speeds obtained from the spectral fit are (103±92) km s−1, (0+10) km s−1, (0+10) km s−1, and (0+10) km s−1. Since the observations were taken only at 1.1 R
⊙ and 1.2 R
⊙ from Sun center, these speeds, consistent with zero outflow, are in agreement with expectations and provide additional confirmation
that the spectral fitting method is working. The electron temperature at 1.1 R
⊙ from Sun center is larger at the north (polar region) than the east and west (equatorial region). 相似文献

We present study of relationship of GSXR flares with Hα flares, hard X-ray (HXR) bursts, microwave (MW) bursts at 15.4 GHz, type II/IV radio bursts, coronal mass ejections (CMEs),
protons flares (>10 MeV) and ground level enhancement (GLE) events we find that about 85.7%, 93%, 97%, 69%, 60%, 11.1%, 79%,
46%, and 23%% GSXR flares are related/associated with observed Hα flares, HXR bursts, MW bursts at 15.4 GHz, type II radio bursts, type IV radio bursts, GLE events, CMEs, halo CMEs, and proton

In the paper we have studied the onset time delay of GSXR flares with Hα flares, HXR, and MW bursts which shows the during majority GSXR flares SXR emissions start before the Hα, HXR and MW emissions, respectively while during 15–20% of GSXR flares the SXR emissions start after the onset of Hα, HXT and MW emissions, respectively indicating two types of solar flares. The, onset time interval between SXR emissions
and type II radio bursts, type IV radio bursts, GLE events CMEs, halo CMEs, and protons flares are 1–15 min, 1–20 min, 21–30 min,
21–40 min, 21–40 min, and 1–4 hrs, respectively. Following the majority results we are of the view that the present investigations
support solar flares models which suggest flare triggering first in the corona and then move to chromospheres/ photosphere
to starts emissions in other wavelengths. The result of the present work is largely consistent with “big flare syndrome” proposed
by Kahler (1982). 相似文献

We report on spectro-imaging infrared observations of Jupiter's auroral zones, acquired in October 1999 and October 2000 with the FTS/BEAR instrument at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The use of narrow-band filters at 2.09 and 2.12 μm, combined with high spectral resolution (0.2 cm−1), allowed us to map emission from the H2S1(1) quadrupole line and from several H3+ lines. The H2 and H3+ emission appears to be morphologically different, especially in the north, where the latter notably exhibits a “hot spot” near 150°-170° System III longitude. This hot spot coincides in position with the region of increased and variable hydrocarbon, FUV and X-ray emission, but is not seen in the more uniform H2S1(1) emission. We also present the first images of the H2 emission in the southern polar region. The spectra include a total of 14 H3+ lines, including two hot lines from the 3ν2-ν2 band, detected on Jupiter for the first time. They can be used to determine H3+ column densities, rotational (Trot) and vibrational (Tvib) temperatures. We find the mean Tvib of the v2=3 state to be lower (960±50 K) than the mean Trot in v2=2 (1170±75 K), indicating an underpopulation of the v2=3 level with respect to local thermodynamical equilibrium. Rotational temperatures and associated column densities are generally higher and lower, respectively, than inferred previously from ν2 observations. This is a likely consequence of a large positive temperature gradient in the sub-microbar auroral atmosphere. While the signal-to-noise is not sufficient to take full advantage of the 2-D capabilities of the observations, the search for correlations between line intensities, Tvib and column densities, indicates that variations in line intensities are mostly due to correlated variations in the H3+ column densities. The thermostatic role played by H3+ at ionospheric levels may provide an explanation. The exception is the northern “hot spot,” which exhibits a Tvib about 250 K higher than other regions. A partial explanation might invoke a homopause elevation in this region, but a fully consistent scenario is not yet available. The different distributions of the H2 and H3+ emission are equally difficult to explain. 相似文献

A variety of astronomical phenomena appear to not satisfy the ergodic hypothesis in the relevant stationary state, if any. As such, there is no reason for expecting the applicability of Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. Some of these phenomena appear to follow, instead, nonextensive statistical mechanics. In the same manner that the BG formalism is based on the entropy S BG=?k∑ i p i ln p i, the nonextensive one is based on the form S q=k(1 ?∑ i p i q)/(q? 1) (with S 1=S BG). The stationary states of the former are characterized by an exponential dependence on the energy, whereas those of the latter are characterized by an (asymptotic) power law. A brief review of this theory is given here, as well as of some of its applications, such as the solar neutrino problem, polytropic self-gravitating systems, galactic peculiar velocities, cosmic rays and some cosmological aspects. In addition to these, an analogy with the Keplerian elliptic orbits versus the Ptolemaic epicycles is developed, where we show that optimizing S q with a few constraints is equivalent to optimizing S BG with an infinite number of constraints. 相似文献

Fifteen organic and three inorganic compounds were tested for methane (CH4) evolution under simulated martian conditions of 6.9 mbar; UVC (200-280 nm) flux of 4 W m−2; 20 °C; simulated optical depth of 0.1; and a Mars gas composition of CO2 (95.3%), N2 (2.7%), Ar (1.7%), O2 (0.13%), and water vapor (0.03%). All three inorganic compounds (i.e., NaCl, CaCO3, graphite) failed to evolve methane at the minimum detection level 0.5 ppm, or above. In contrast, all organic compounds evolved methane when exposed to UV irradiation under simulated martian conditions. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, pyrene, released the most methane per unit of time at 0.175 nmol CH4 g−1 h−1, and a spectral reflectance target material used for the MER rovers and Phoenix lander released the least methane at 0.00065 nmol CH4 cm−2 h−1. Methane was also released from UV-killed bacterial endospores of Bacillus subtilis. Although all organic compounds evolved methane when irradiated with UV photons under martian conditions, the concentrations of residual organics, biogenic signature molecules, and dead microbial cells should be relatively low on the exterior surfaces of the MSL rover, and, thus, not significant sources of methane contamination. In contrast, kapton tape was found to evolve methane at the rate of 0.00165 nmol CH4 cm−2 h−1 (16.5 nmol m−2 h−1) under the UV and martian conditions tested. Although the evolution of methane from kapton tape was found to decline over time, the large amount of kapton tape used on the MSL rover (lower bound estimated at 3 m2) is likely to create a significant source of terrestrial methane contamination during the early part of the mission. 相似文献
