The relevant data for the known 147 pulsars are presented in graphical and tabular forms. Various data correlations are discussed, and a detailed analysis of pulsar dispersion measures and distances is given. The range of the electron densities in the diffuse interstellar medium is found to be 0.01 cm–3n e0.1 cm–3, and n e0.03 cm–3. The dispersion scale height for pulsars is found to be 5.9±0.7 pc cm–3 implying a linear scale height of 200 pc, which is much smaller than the electron scale height of our Galaxy.Astrophysics and Space Science Review Paper.  相似文献

The deepest survey for H emitting galaxies at z 2.2has recently been made in narrow-band ( 1%) filters around2.1m using SOFI at the ESO NTT telescope. An effective area of 100 sq. arcmin and a comoving volume of 9000 Mpc3 (forH0 = 50, q0 = 0.5) has been covered to a volume weighted 3 line flux limit of 5 × 10-17 erg s-1cm-2. Our survey covered the WFPC2 and STIS fields in the HubbleDeep Field South and an anonymous field about 30 deg. away. Thefaintest limit reached was 3 × 10-17 erg s-1 cm-2 onthe WFPC2 field. In total, 10 convincing candidates with deduced starformation rates in the range 9 - 50 M/yr and an equal number ofmarginal ones have been identified for confirmation and follow-upspectroscopy with ISAAC at the VLT. Based on a very preliminaryanalysis we compare our results with those of earlier surveys andbriefly discuss some possible implications for the form of theevolution out to z 2 and the effects of clustering.  相似文献

On the basis of the Mie theory, the differential cross-section for polarization and the polarization efficiency are calculated for some spherical interstellar grains consisting of ice, silicate, or graphite in the ultraviolet, optical, and near infrared wavelengths. As far as the polarization due to scattering is concerned, these particles scatter light as Rayleigh scattering for 0<x1, wherex is the dimensionless size parameter. The polarization efficienties depend strongly on the value of the imaginary part (m) of the refractive index of grain material whenx1: the efficiency takes a maximum value atx1 and decreases to zero asx approaches zero for the absorbing sphere such as the dielectric particle withm0.1 or the graphite grain in the infrared wavelengths.  相似文献

A numerical study has been made of the motion of a compact object consisting of a supermassive black hole with a dense cluster of stars around through a galaxy which has recoiled from the center of the latter as a result of anisotropic emission of gravitational radiation or asymmetrical plasma emission. We find that the effect of dynamical friction on its motion through the galaxy (mass1011 M ) estimated using the impulsive approximation technique, is minimal for an object mass 109 M and for recoil taking place at a velocity larger than that of escape. A velocity 1.1 times the escape velocity is needed for the object to escape from the galaxy, whereas for velocities of recoil less than this critical velocity, damped oscillatory motion ensures. The energy exchange of the object with the galaxy is not large enough to cause appreciable change in the internal energy of the latter.  相似文献

A modeling of the response of the 1549 CIV emission line profile in the spectrum of Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 to a sharp continuum drop which happened in 1989 is carried out on the basis of observational data taken from the literature. A more rapid response of the red wing of CIV profile suggesting the accretion of CIV-emitting clouds in the broad-line region (BLR) is reproduced. It is shown that the accretion velocity near the central object is consistent with a free fall law whereas at large distances from the center it varies approximately asr –2. The best agreement between observed CIV profile changes and modeled ones is obtained when the mass of the central objectM 1.2 × 108 M . The first approximation of the BLR geometry is also found: the inflow takes place only outside two wide cones with half-opening angle 65° which are disposed like a sand-glass and filled by outflowing material. The angle between the axis of such biconical structure and our line of sight is found to be small ( 9°). It is shown that the outer radius of an accretion disk around the central object does not exceed ~ I light-day (i.e., < 100 Schwarzschild radii), and the outer radius of CIV-emitting BLR is 14 light-days. The nature of a broad blue excess in the CIV profile which did not respond to the continuum change is discussed.  相似文献

On November 27, 1974, a map of the Moon was obtained at 6 cm wavelength with the 100-m-telescope in Effelsberg. The high angular and favourable temperature resolution allowed an interpretation of the observed brightness distribution. The dominant feature of the brightness distribution is the centre-to-limb variation, particularly noticeable in the direction of the poles. The exponent of the commonly adopted cos ()-law, describing the temperature variation across the lunar disk, is determined as 0.4. The North-South variation of the lunar surface temperature is estimated to be 30%; the depth of penetration (L e) of electromagnetic waves of 6 cm wavelength is found to beL e 17 m.  相似文献

A semi-continuous hierarchy, (i.e., one in which there are galaxies outside clusters, clusters outside superclusters etc.), is examined using an expression of the field equations of general relativity in a form due to Podurets, Misner and Sharp. It is shown (a) that for a sufficiently populous hierarchy, the thinning factor( i+1/ i [r i /r i+1] is approximately equal to the exponentN in a continuous density law (=aR –N) provided (r i /r i+1)3-1; (b) that a hierarchical Universe will not look decidedly asymmetric to an observer like a human being because such salient observers live close to the densest elements of the hierarchy (viz stars), the probability of the Universe looking spherically symmetric (dipole anisotropy0.1 to such an observer being of order unity; (c) the existence of a semi-continuous or continuous hierarchy (Peebles) requires that 2 if galaxies, not presently bound to clusters were once members of such systems; (d) there are now in existence no less than ten arguments for believing 2, though recent number counts by Sandageet al. seem to be in contradiction to such a value; (e) Hubble's law, withH independent of distance, can be proved approximately in a relativistic hierarchy provided (i)N=2, (ii)2GM(R)/c 2 R1; (iii)Rc (iv)M0 in a system of massM, sizeR (f) Hubble's law holds also in a hierarchy with density jumps; (g)H100 km s–1 Mpc–1; (h) objects forming the stellar level of the hierarchy (in a cosmology of the Wilson type) must once have had 2GM/c 2 R1; (i) there is a finite pressurep=2Ga in all astrophysical systems (a=R N ,N2); (j) for the Galaxy, theory predictsp G7×10–12 dyn cm–2, observation givesp G5×10–12 dyn cm–2; (k) if the mass-defect (or excess binding energy) hypothesis is taken as a postulate, all non-collapsed astrophysical systems must be non-static, and any non-static, p0 systems must in any case be losing mass; (1) the predicted mass-loss rate from the Sun is 1012 g s–1, compared to 1011 g s–1 in the observed solar wind; (m) the mass-loss rates known by observation imply timescales of 5×109 years for the Sun and 1010 years for other astrophysical systems; (n) degenerate superdense objects composed of fermions must haveN-2 if they were ever at their Schwarzschild radii and comprised a finite numberN B of baryons; (o)N B1057N for degenerate fermion and boson systems; (p)285-4; (q) the metric coefficients for superdense bodies give equations of motion that imply equal maximum luminosities for all evolving superdense bodies (L max1059 erg s–1); (r) larger bodies have longer time-scales of energy radiation atL max (10–5 s for stars,1 h for QSO's) (s) expansion velocities are c soon after the initial loss of equilibrium in a superdense object; (t) if the density parametera(t) in aR –N isa=a (non-atomic constants of physicsc, G, A), andA, thenN=2; (u) N2 is necessary to giveMM at the stellar level of the hierarchy;(v) systems larger than, and including, galaxies must have formed by clumping of smaller systems and not (as advocated by Wertz and others) in a multiple big bang.  相似文献

A two-component scheme for the generation of type III fundamental radiation is proposed. The first component of the fundamental arises at a plasma level L t because of the Rayleigh scattering of the plasma waves into electromagnetic radiation. The other component arises at L t /2 because of the decay of the first component into plasma waves and the subsequent rescattering of the plasma waves into electromagnetic radiation t 2( t /2). By its properties (location, directivity, polarization) the second component is essentially the same as the second harmonic radiation produced by a stream of fast electrons at L ( t /2). This scheme is used to solve the main problems (localization and directivity of the source, polarization of type III fundamental) of the harmonic theory of type III solar bursts.  相似文献

A map of the Moon at 2 cm wavelength is presented. The angular ( 1arc) and temperature resolution (< 0.1 K) is sufficient to study systematic details of the brightness distribution. In particular, the centre-to-limb variation is considered. An estimate of the dielectric constant is possible (1.4 2.5). The existence of a temperature gradient in the lunar surface layers is used to derive the depth of penetration of electromagnetic waves (L e ), which isL e 8 m for 2 cm wavelength. The parameters derived from the 2 cm map are found to be compatible with those obtained from a former observation at 6 cm wavelength.  相似文献

An approximate metric is found which represents a sphere of matter embedded in a background of dust. The use of this metric in conjunction with the Friedmann equations gives values of for the three possible values ofk as +6×10–36 (k=+1), +3×10–35 (k=0), +10–36 (k=–1). These values depend on data regarding clusters of galaxies, and are probably accurate to within an order of magnitude given the correctness of the assumptions on which their derivation rests.  相似文献

Observation of the adiabatic behaviour of energetic particle pitch-angle distributions in the magnetosphere (Lyons, 1977, and others) in the past indicated the development of pronounced minima or drift-loss cones on the pitch-angle distributions centred at 90° in connection with storm-time changes in magnetospheric convection and magnetic field. Using a model of a drift-modified loss-cone distribution (MLCD) of the butterfly type, the linear stability of electromagnetic whistler or ion-cyclotron waves propagating parallel to the magnetic field has been investigated. The instability is shown to be quenched at high frequencies < m =A/(A+1), whereA is the thermal anisotropy. This quenching becomes stronger the higher are the respective parallel hot particle thermal velocityA h and cold plasma densityn c . Particles around pitch-angles 90° are identified as generating electromagnetic cyclotron waves near the marginally stable frequency m . It is concluded that the absence of electromagnetic VLF and ELF noise during times when MLCD develops is the result of the shift of the unstable spectrum to low frequencies.  相似文献

An analysis is made of the implications of assuming that suprathermal dust grains (a3×108 cm) of intergalactic origin may acquire cosmic ray energies as high as 1020 eV. These dust grains may attain suprathermal energy (v g3×108 cm s–1) by the Fermi process. Initially the dust grains are accelerated by the radiation pressure against the drag of the ambient gas of the medium, but once these dust grains attain a terminal velocity (U105 cm s–1), then they may be expelled out of the galactic region into the intergalactic medium and finally acquire high energy  相似文献

The phonon excitation spectrum of Coulomb lattice in the neutron star crusts is studied by solving Dyson's equation for phonons. It is shown that a strong renormalization of the phonon spectrum occurs at densities s /4 for the crustal matter compositions with spherical nuclei, which imply relatively small nuclear mass numbers and charges. It is shown that, the lattice becomes unstable against density fluctuations above a critical density of the order of s /3, where s 2.6x1014 g cm–3 is the nuclear saturation density. The neutron quasiparticle spectrum and the virtual mass of a nucleus are briefly discussed.  相似文献

A large ring, 50 pc diameter, of H+[Nii] emission in the LMC has been investigated using several instruments. It is suggested that stellar winds from O and B stars could play a vital role in the formation of the structures revealed.  相似文献

From 59 spectra collected at Asiago from 1969 to 1976, we obtain the spectroscopic orbit of the binary V 505 Mon. The rather long periodP=53.7805 days and semiamplitudeK 1=83±4 km s–1 of the primary component imply a fairly large mass of the secondary (m 23.2±0.4m ). Apparently also lines of this latter have been recorded, thus indicating highly massive components (m 150,R 1=26,m 227,R 2=14, in solar units) in a detached system (separation 255R ). The already reported variation of 0.15 mag., with period about one day, together with H emission, we detected, point toward a possible massive X-ray progenitor.  相似文献

A brief quantitative review of the determination of the chemical composition of the Sun and stars is given. The method of estimation of the total amount of hydrogen atoms in a prominence is considered.The values of relative abundances of some infrequent elements in the solar atmosphere are refined using metal emission lines in the spectrum of a quiescent prominence. The most probable values of relative abundances for itrium Y1×10–9, zirconium Zr2×10–9, and scandium Sc3.8×10–9 are derived.  相似文献

We apply the MINOS optimization system to the population synthesis of galactic nuclei, using a grid of star cluster equivalent widths as a function of age and metallicity. For some classes of red galaxy nuclei, this observational approach to population synthesis produces results similar to those predicted by the theoretical approach of Arimoto and Yoshii (1987). The synthesis results for blue nuclei tend to scatter more in the age vs metallicity plane, probably because we use only visible and near-infrared spectral data. Additional information at shorter wavelengths will possibly produce better-focused solutions in the plane. However, strong bursts of star formation can easily be identified. We provide in this contribution population synthesis for the central regions of M31 and M32. The bulge and the semi-stellar nucleus of M31 are dominated by the old metal-rich population: the semi-stellar nucleus has reached up [Z/Z ]0.6 and the bulge [Z/Z ]0.3. In the central region of M32, a metallicity up to the solar value has been reached and the synthesis indicates that the intermediate age component is not dominant.  相似文献

Low-frequency gravitational radiation, with wavelengths reaching or exceeding interplanetary distances, and with a mean energy density of the order of the critical cosmological density c , generates a frequency-shift of order/10–15 h 0(1/108km)(/ c )1/2 in electromagnetic signals transponded by interplanetary spacecraft at a distancel from the Earth.  相似文献

Cold plus hot (neutrino) dark matter models are studied and compared with the tilted cold dark matter models (which have a non-Zel'dovich initial density perturbation spectrum). For the hybrid dark matter models, a simpler treatment for the relativistic neutrinos is presented. The numerical results of this treatment are shown to be in good agreement with those given by other authors. Comparing the theoretical and the observational results of the quadrupole fluctuations of the cosmic background radiation and the large-scale velocity field of galaxies, the hybrid dark matter models require a fraction of neutrino density 0.3, a fraction of cold dark matter c 0.7 and a number of massive neutrino speciesN = 1 for the case of Hubble's constantH 0 = 50 km s–1 Mpc–1. The distribution of comoving number density of quasars at high redshifts is studied using the Press-Schechter theory. The calculations show that the hybrid dark matter model ( c 0.7, 0.3) and the tilted CDM model withn = 0.7 0.8 both account for the observed quasar abundance at high redshift.  相似文献

The physical conditions under which suprathermal grains can be produced when they are accelerated by radiation pressure against the drag of ambient gas are investigated. It is found that dust grains may attain a terminal velocityU (=105 cm s–1) in most regions and move out of the midplane of the source region about a distance |z|100 pc. Once clear of the main gas/dust layer the dust grains (a3×10–6 cm) may then attain suprathermal energy (V g 3×108 cm s–1) by the Fermi process.  相似文献
