A small generalization of the equation of motion for the Poynting-Robertson effect is tested in order to find the significance of new terms. The test is made for dust particles ejected at perihelia of the orbit of the comet Encke. The particles are released at the speed of 40 m s?1. Gravitational perturbations of planets, Poynting-Robertson effect and solar corpuscular radiation (solar wind) are considered. Other nongravitational effects may be represented by new terms in the suggested form of the nongravitational force. Various values of normal and transversal components of the perturbing nongravitational force are used. The final results of numerical integrations are compared with those obtained on the basis of the Poynting-Robertson effect. 相似文献

The action of the solar electromagnetic radiation on the moving interplanetary dust particles in its more complete form than the special case known as the Poynting-Robertson effect is theoretically discussed in application to meteoroid stream of comet Encke.Normal and transversal components of the perturbing nongravitational force are used due to the action of the solar electromagnetic radiation. It is shown that the normal component of the force is negligible. However, transversal component is very important: it can probably completely explain all the observed meteoroid streams situated along the orbit of comet Encke (and, possibly, some asteroids) as the product of the comet Encke alone. Much shorter time is required for producing such a meteoroid stream than is a general conception.If the idea about the significance of the transversal component of the nongravitational force (may be, not produced by electromagnetic radiation) is correct, it may have important consequences for our understanding of ageing of comets, global evolution of the cometary (and, partially, asteroidal) system, and, of course, for a long-term evolution of small interplanetary particles. 相似文献

Charged dust grains in a turbulent magnetic field will see a Lorentz force due to the convection of the solar magnetic field past them at the solar wind velocity. Since the sign of this magnetic field is randomly varying, the direction of the force will be random, and the net effect will be to randomly scatter the orbital elements of these particles. The square roots of the mean square change in semimajor axis, inclination, and eccentricity are determined as a function of the particles' original orbital elements. Particles 3 μm in radius and smaller will have their motions strongly perturbed or dominated by Lorentz scattering. This scattering will have an effect comparable to, or greater than, the Poynting-Robertson effect on these particles for time scales comparable to their Poynting-Robertson lifetimes. 相似文献

A more complete expression for the radiation force on a small particle in the solar system is given which includes the effect of asymmetry of the thermal reradiation and also of inelastic scattering such as fluorescence. Both the Poynting-Robertson drag and the Yarkovsky effect are affected by such asymmetries and are incorporated into the formalism. For non-spherical particles the direction of the radiation force will no longer coincide with the solar irradiation. 相似文献

The Kelperian motion of dust particles in the solar system is mainly influenced by the electromagnetic and plasma Poynting-Robertson drag. The first force is isotropic while the second one shows latitudinal variations due to the observed differences of the solar wind parameters in the ecliptic plane and over the solar poles. Close to the Sun other effects become important, e.g. sublimation and sputtering, as well as for submicron particles Lorentz scattering has to be taken into account. These forces are very weak for dust grains of moderate size (10–100 µ) not too close (>0.03 AU) to the Sun and are neglected here. Assuming that the general form of the latidudinally dependent force is a series expansion in Legendre polynomials, we have studied the averaged equations of motion for the classical elements and found the first integral of them. The general character of motion is the same as for the classical Poynting-Robertson drag: particles spiral towards the Sun. The new features in the orbital evolution under the latitudinally dependent force as compared with the isotropic Poynting-Robertson drag are:
- not only the semimajor axisa and the eccentricity ε but also the argument of the perihelion ω varies with time,
- the rate of change ofa, ε, ω depends on the inclination.

Numerical calculations are given to describe evolution of orbits of simulated and real Kuiper belt objects for large intervals
of time. Gravitational perturbations caused by all major planets have been taken into account, and, when considering small
particles, Poynting-Robertson nongravitational effect has also been incorporated. Large orbit scattering of the Kuiper belt
objects regarding the semimajor axes and eccentricities is shown to be due to their evolution over millions of years. Relative
contribution of great objects and meteor particles from the Kuiper belt into the near-Earth population is believed to be extremely
small. 相似文献

We present a new and more accurate expression for the radiation pressure and Poynting-Robertson drag forces; it is more complete than previous ones, which considered only perfectly absorbing particles or artificial scattering laws. Using a simple heuristic derivation, the equation of motion for a particle of mass m and geometrical cross section A, moving with velocity v through a radiation field of energy flux density S, is found to be (to terms of order ) , where ? is a unit vector in the direction of the incident radiation, is the particle's radial velocity, and c is the speed of light; the radiation pressure efficiency factor Qpr ≡ Qabs + Qsca(1 ? 〈cos α〉), where Qabs and Qsca are the efficiency factors for absorption and scattering, and 〈cos α〉 accounts for the asymmetry of the scattered radiation. This result is confirmed by a new formal derivation applying special relativistic transformations for the incoming and outgoing energy and momentum as seen in the particle and solar frames of reference. Qpr is evaluated from Mie theory for small spherical particles with measured optical properties, irradiated by the actual solar spectrum. Of the eight materials studied, only for iron, magnetite , and graphite grains does the radiation pressure force exceed gravity and then just for sizes around 0.1 μm; very small particles are not easily blown out of the solar system nor are they rapidly dragged into the Sun by the Poynting-Robertson effect. The solar wind counterpart of the Poynting-Robertson drag may be effective, however, for these particles. The orbital consequences of these radiation forces-including ejection from the solar system by relatively small radiation pressures-and of the Poynting-Robertson drag are considered both for heliocentric and planetocentric orbiting particles. We discuss the coupling between the dynamics of particles and their sizes (which diminish due to sputtering and sublimation). A qualitative derivation is given for the differential Doppler effect, which occurs because the light received by an orbiting particle is slightly red-shifted by the solar rotation velocity when coming from the eastern hemisphere of the Sun but blue-shifted when from the western hemisphere; the ratio of this force to the Poynting-Robertson force is , where R⊙ and w⊙ are the solar radius and spin rate, and n is the particle's mean motion. The Yarkovsky effect, caused by the asymmetry in the reradiated thermal emission of a rotating body, is also developed relying on new physical arguments. Throughout the paper, representative calculations use the physical and orbital properties of interplanetary dust, as known from various recent measurements. 相似文献

A correct understanding of the dynamical effect of solar radiation exerted on fluffy dust particles can be achieved with assistance of a light scattering theory as well as the equation of motion. We reformulate the equation of motion so that the radiation pressure and the Poynting-Robertson effect on fluffy grains are given in both radial and nonradial directions from the center of the Sun. This allows numerical estimates of these radiation forces on fluffy dust aggregates in the framework of the discrete dipole approximation, in which the first term of the scattering coefficients in Mie theory determines the polarizability of homogeneous spheres forming the aggregates.The nonsphericity in shape turns out to play a key role in the dynamical evolution of dust particles, while its consequence depends on the rotation rate and axis of the grains. Unless a fluffy dust particle rapidly revolves on its randomly oriented axis, the nonradial radiation forces may prevent, apart from the orbital eccentricity and semimajor axis, the orbital inclination of the particle from being preserved in orbit around the Sun. However, a change in the inclination is most probably controlled by the Lorentz force as a consequence of the interaction between electric charges on the grains and the solar magnetic field. Although rapidly and randomly rotating grains spiral into the Sun under the Poynting-Robertson effect in spite of their shapes and structures, fluffy grains drift inward on time scales longer at submicrometer sizes and shorter at much larger sizes than spherical grains of the same sizes. Numerical calculations reveal that the dynamical lifetimes of fluffy particles are determined by the material composition of the grains rather than by their morphological structures and sizes. The Poynting-Robertson effect alone is nevertheless insufficient for giving a satisfactory estimate of lifetimes for fluffy dust grains since their large ratios of cross section to mass would reduce the lifetimes by enhancing the collisional probabilities. We also show that the radiation pressure on a dust particle varies with the orbital velocity of the particle but that this effect is negligibly small for dust grains in the Solar System. 相似文献

We use a non-singular potential that appears in the literature under the influence of which the Poynting-Robertson effect
is studied. For that, dust particles originating within the asteroid belt are used, in circular and elliptic orbits, and expressions
for the semimajor axis as a function of time are obtained. The derived expressions are written in terms of the two basic dust
particle parameters, namely the density and the diameter. In both cases, we obtain expressions for the time that the dust
particles take to reach the orbit of Earth under the action of the non-singular potential and solar radiation. For the non-singular
potential, dust particles of diameter 10−3 m in circular and elliptical orbits require times of the order of 4.058×107 and 2.823×107 y to reach the orbit of the Earth respectively. Finally, the derived expressions and numerical results are compared with
those of the Newtonian potential. 相似文献

The orbital evolution of model meteoroids ejected from the comet Encke has been investigated. The particles abandon the mother body with velocities 20 and 40 ms-1 perihelion within the interval of the past 10,000 years. Their 10,000 years old osculating orbits were numerically integrated forward, using a dynamical model of the solar system consisting of all planets. Forces from solar electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation effecting the particles are considered, too. Orbital dispersions of the model meteoroids are presented. The importance of nongravitational forces for a long-term orbital evolution of meteoroid streams is shown. 相似文献

Abrupt or gradual disintegration of the interplanetary dust particle causes increase of its distance from the Sun due to the solar radiation pressure. The problem of the orbital evolution of the interplanetary dust particles under such disintegration processes is discussed. The process of gradual disintegration due to the solar wind particles is calculated in detail. Obtained results represent corrections to the changes of orbital elements for the Poynting-Robertson effect and effect of the solar wind. 相似文献

Dust particles that are larger than 1 μm, when injected into the Solar System from comets and asteroids, will spiral into the Sun due to the Poynting-Robertson effect. During the process of spiraling in, such dust particles accumulate solar flare tracks in their component minerals. The accumulated track density for a given dust grain is a function of the duration of its space exposure and its distance from the Sun. Using a computer model, it was determined that the expected track density distributions from grains produced by comets are very different from those produced by asteroids. Individual asteroids produce populations of particles that arrive at 1 AU with scaled track density distributions containing “spikes,” while comets supply particles with a flatter and wider distribution of track densities. Particles with track densities above 3 × 107 (sϱA/v) tracks/cm2 have probably been exposed to solar flare tracks prior to injection into the interplanetary medium and are therefore likely to be asteroidal. Particles with track densities below 0.7 × 107(sϱA/v) tracks/cm2 must be derived from comets or Earth-crossing asteroids. Earth-crossing asteroids are not responsible for all the dust collected at 1 AU since they cannot produce the large track densities observed in some of the interplanetary dust particles collected in the stratosphere. The track densities observed in the stratospheric dust fall within the predicted range, but there is at present an insufficient number of carefully determined densities to make strong statements about the sources of the present dust population. 相似文献

Correct and complete (to terms of orderv/c) derivation of the Poynting-Robertson effect is presented. It is based on the idea that aberration of light is an important part in the effect of radiation on the motion of (interplanetary) dust particle. Derivations are presented for spherical particles, however, not only for perfectly absorbing ones. It follows from the presented derivations that the Poynting-Robertson effect is purely relativistic phenomenon and cannnot be treated in nonrelativistic manner, although results in orderv/c are sufficient for calculation in the Solar System studies. 相似文献

Motion of the interplanetary dust particle under the action of collisions with much smaller interplanetary dust particles is investigated. The equation of motion is derived. Perturbation equations of celestial mechanics are also discussed. The results are compared with the Poynting-Robertson effect and the effect of solar wind on the motion of the interplanetary dust particles, from the point of view of observational data. 相似文献

The problem of the stability of the zodiacal cloud is scrutinized. The central idea of the paper sticks in the theoretical treatment of the action of the solar electromagnetic radiation on small interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). It is suggested that the virtual problem of the (in-)stability of the zodiacal cloud originated from the physically incorrect application of the Poynting-Robertson effect on IDPs. Real particles are not of spherical shape and so the braking acceleration is not proportional to -v/c. Depending on the shape (and other optical properties) of the particle, also spiralling outward from the Sun may occur. 相似文献

We consider the motion of uncharged dust grains of arbitrary shape including the effects of electromagnetic radiation and
thermal emission. The resulting relativistically covariant equation of motion is expressed in terms of standard optical parameters.
Explicit expressions for secular changes of osculating orbital elements are derived in detail for the special case of the
Poynting-Robertson effect. Two subcases are considered: (i) central acceleration due to gravity and the radial component of
radiation pressure independent of the particle velocity, (ii) central acceleration given by gravity and the radiation force
as the disturbing force. The latter case yields results which may be compared with secular orbital evolution in terms of orbital
elements for an arbitrarily shaped dust particle. The effects of solar wind are also presented.

Taking into account meteoroid measurements by in situ experiments, zodiacal light observations, and oblique angle hypervelocity impact studies, it is found that the observed size distributions of lunar microcraters usually do not represent the interplanetary meteoroid flux for particles with masses ?10?10g. From the steepest observed lunar crater size distribution a “lunar flux” is derived which is up to 2 orders of magnitude higher than the interplanetary flux at the smallest particle masses. New models of the “lunar” and “interplanetary” meteoroid fluxes are presented. The spatial mass density of interplanetary meteoritic material at 1 AU is ～10?16g/m3. A large fraction of this mass is in particles of 10?6 to 10?4 g. A detailed analysis of the effects of mutual collisions (i.e., destruction of meteoroids and production of fragment particles) and of radiation pressure has been performed which yielded a new picture of the balance of the meteoritic complex. It has been found that the collisional lifetime at 1 AU is shortest (～104years) for meteoroids of 10?4 to 1 g mass. For particles with masses m > 10?5g, Poynting-Robertson lifetimes are considerably larger than collisional lifetimes. The collisional destruction rate of meteoroids with masses is about 10 times larger than the rate of collisional production of fragment particles in the same mass range. About 9 tons/sec of these “meteor-sized” (m > 10?5g) particles are lost inside 1 AU due to collisions and have to be replenished by other sources, e.g., comets. Under steady-state conditions, most of these large particles are “young”; i.e., they have not been fragmented by collisions and their initial orbits are not altered much by radiation pressure drag. Many more micrometeoroids of masses m ? 10?5g are generated by collisions from more massive particles than are destroyed by collisions. The net collisional production rate of intermediate-sized particles 10?10g ? m ? 10?5g is found to be about 16 times larger at 1 AU than the Poynting-Robertson loss rate. The total Poynting-Robertson loss rate inside 1 AU is only about 0.26 tons/sec. The smallest fragment particles (m ? 10?10g) will be largely injected into hyperbolic trajectories under the influence of radiation pressure (β meteoroids). These particles provide the most effecient loss mechanism from the meteoritic complex. When it is assumed that meteoroids fragment similarly to experimental impact studies with basalt, then it is found that interplanetary meteoroids in the mass range 10?10g ? m ? 10?5g cannot be in temporal balance under collisions and Poynting-Robertson drag but their spatial density is presently increasing with time. 相似文献

We consider the perturbations on near-earth asteroid orbits due to various forces stemming from solar radiation. We find that the existence of precise radar astrometric observations at multiple apparitions, spanning periods on the order of 10 years, allows the detection of such forces on bodies as large as kilometer across. Indeed, the perturbations are so substantial that certain of the forces can be essential to fit an orbit to the observations. In particular, we show that the recoil force of thermal radiation from the asteroid, known as the Yarkovsky effect, is the most important of these unmodeled perturbations. We also show that the effect of reflected light can be important if even moderate albedo variations are present, while moderate changes in oblateness appear to have a far smaller effect. An unexpected result is that the Poynting–Robertson effect, typically only considered for submillimeter dust particles, could be observable on smaller asteroids with high eccentricity, such as 1566 Icarus. Finally, we also study the possibility of improving the orbit uncertainty through well-timed optical observations which might help in better detection of these nongravitational perturbations. 相似文献

A new approach is formulated for the study of motions of the split comets. It is based on the assumption that two fragments of a comet separate at a rate that is determined primarily by a slight difference between their effective solar attractions rather than by the impulse imparted on them at the time of splitting. The net dynamical effect is interpreted as due to differential nongravitational forces, which depend on the size, density, structure, composition, and spin rate of the fragments. Since at least at smaller distances from the Sun these forces vary inversely as roughly the square of heliocentric distance, their dynamical effect resembles that of radiation pressure, so that the formalism developed for the motion of a dust particle in a cometary tail is applicable in principle. The calculations show that this approach provides reasonably good to excellent fits of the observed separations for a great majority of the split comets, and that it fails only in the case of Comet 1957 VI. The correlation between the differential nongravitational forces and the endurance of the fragment is investigated in terms of the physical behavior of the fragments, with the emphasis on the short-lived objects. Some of the unusual phenomena accompanying the split comets are discussed, and comments are also offered on the sequence of splitting for comets with multiple nuclei and on the distribution of the points of splitting in space. 相似文献

The observed albedo distributions in asteroid families as well as numberical calculations suggest that the spatial separation of bright and dark asteroids can be caused by some nongravitational mechanism acting in the solar system. For main-belt asteroids of size 10–50 km, the separation rate can be roughly estimated at 1 AU per 108 yr. The physical mechanism of this effect requires further investigation. 相似文献
