Direction-finding measurements with the plasma wave experiments on the HAWKEYE 1 and IMP 8 satellites are used to find the source locations of type III solar radio bursts in heliocentric latitude and longitude in a frequency range from 31.1 kHz to 500 kHz. IMP 8 has its spin axis perpendicular to the ecliptic plane; hence, by analyzing the spin modulation of the received signals the location of the type III burst projected into the ecliptic plane can be found. HAWKEYE 1 has its spin axis nearly parallel to the ecliptic plane; hence, the location of the source out of the ecliptic plane may also be determined. Using an empirical model for the emission frequency as a function of radial distance from the sun the three-dimensional trajectory of the type III radio source can be determined from direction-finding measurements at different frequencies. Since the electrons which produce these radio emissions follow the magnetic field lines from the Sun these measurements provide information on the three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field in the solar wind. The source locations projected into the ecliptic plane follow an Archimedean spiral. Perpendicular to the ecliptic plane the source locations usually follow a constant heliocentric latitude. When the best fit magnetic field line through the source locations is extrapolated back to the Sun this field line usually originates within a few degrees from the solar flare which produced the radio burst. With direction-finding measurements of this type it is also possible to determine the source size from the modulation factor of the received signals. For a type III event on June 8, 1974, the half angle source size was measured to be 60° at 500 kHz and 40° at 56.2 kHz as viewed from the Sun.Presented at Workshop on Mechanisms for Solar Type III Radio Bursts, Berkeley, California, May 8–9, 1975; see Solar Phys.

We study the statistical properties of the connectivity of the corona over the quiet Sun by analyzing the potential magnetic field above the central area of source planes sprinkled randomly with some 300 magnetic monopoles each. We find that the field is generally more complex than one might infer from a study of the field within the source plane alone, or from a study of the 3D field around a small number of sources. Whereas a given source most commonly connects to only its nearest neighbors, it may connect to up to several dozen sources; only a weak trend relates the source strength and the number of connections. The connections between pairs of sources define volumes, or domains, of connectivity. Domains that have a finite cross section with the source plane are enclosed by surfaces that contain a pair of null points. In contrast, most of the bounding surfaces of domains that lie above the source plane appear not to contain null points. We argue that the above findings imply (i) that we should expect at best a weak correlation between coronal brightness and the flux in an underlying flux concentration, and (ii) that the low-lying chromospheric field lines (such as are observable in H) provide information on source connections that are largely complementary to those traced by the higher-reaching coronal field lines (observable in the extreme ultraviolet). We compare sample TRACE and SOHO/MDI observations of the quiet corona and photosphere with our finding that the number density of null points within the source plane closely matches that of the sources; because we find essentially no foci of coronal brightening away from significant photospheric magnetic flux concentrations, we conclude that coronal heating at such null points does not contribute significantly to the overall heating. We argue that the divergence of field lines towards multiple sources restricts the propagation of braids and twists, so that any coronal heating that is associated with the dissipation of braids induced by footpoint shuffling in mixed-polarity network is likely (a) to occur predominantly low in the corona, and (b) to be relatively more efficient in quiet Sun than in active regions for a given field strength and loop length. 相似文献

By appealing to the reciprocity principle simple expressions are derived for the plane albedo and the transmissivity of a vertically inhomogeneous, plane parallel atmosphere. The plane albedo is shown to equal the angular distribution of the reflected intensity for isotropie Illumination of unit intensity incident at the top of the atmosphere, while the transmissivity equals the angular distribution of the transmitted intensity for isotropie illumination of unit Intensity incident at the bottom of the atmosphere. Chandrasekhar's solution of the planetary problem (including a Lambert reflecting lower boundary) in terms of the solution to the standard problem (no reflecting ground) is extended to apply to an inhomogeneous atmosphere resting on a surface that reflects radiation anisotropically but with no dependence on the direction of incidence (anisotropic Lambert reflector). The computational aspects are discussed and a procedure for computing the planetary albedo and transmissivity Is outlined for a vertically inhomogeneous, anisotropically scattering atmosphere overlying a partially reflecting surface. Numerical verification and illustration are also provided and it is shown that the assumed vertical variation of the single scattering albedo strongly affects the plane albedo but only weakly the transmissivity. 相似文献

Direction finding measurements with the plasma wave experiments on the HAWKEYE 1 and IMP-8 satellites are used to find the source locations of type III solar radio bursts in elevation (geocentric solar ecliptic latitude) and azimuth (geocentric solar ecliptic longitude) in a frequency range from 31.1 kHz to 500 kHz. IMP-8 has its spin axis perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, hence by analyzing the spin modulation of the signals the location of the type III burst projected into the ecliptic can be found. HAWKEYE 1 has its spin axis nearly parallel to the ecliptic plane, hence the elevation of the source may also be determined. The trajectory of the electrons generating the burst, projected onto the ecliptic plane, follows an Archimedean spiral. Out of the ecliptic plane the trajectory is at a nearly constant heliographic latitude. The electrons originate from a region near a solar flare. With direction measurements of elevation and azimuth along with the modulation factor it is possible to determine the source size. Typical half angle source sizes range from 60° at 500 kHz to 40° at 56.2 kHz as viewed from the sun. 相似文献

We define the principal plane of the solar corona as the equatorial plane of the dipole component of the solar magnetic field at the source surface. The position of this plane defines the orientation of the heliospheric current sheet and the outer solar corona in 3D space, in particular, their inclination with respect to the solar equatorial plane. Their tilt varies from almost zero at solar minimum to almost 90° at solar maximum. But this change is not monotonic; more or less regular oscillations are superimposed onto the average curve. Data on the inclination of the coronal principal plane during 1994–2000 were analyzed. Oscillations with a quasiperiod of 1.3 years were clearly revealed. These oscillations were found to be correlated with variations of the solar rotation rate at the base of the solar convection zone. The latter variations have the same quasi-period of 1.3 years, but they are 1 month out of phase. 相似文献

New observations of the out-of-the ecliptic trajectories of type III solar radio bursts have been obtained from simultaneous direction finding measurements on two independent satellite experiments, IMP-6 with spin plane in the ecliptic, and RAE-2 with spin plane normal to the ecliptic. Burst exciter trajectories were observed which originated at the active region and then crossed the ecliptic plane at about 0.8 AU. We find a considerable large scale north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field followed by the exciters. The apparent north-south and east-west angular source sizes observed by the two spacecraft are approximately equal, and range from 25° at 600 kHz to 110° at 80 kHz. 相似文献

In this paper we estimate the effects of crowding (resulting in failure to detect sources due to unresolvable blends) on DENIS point source extraction. Crowding, together with confusion (flux contribution from sources below the detection limit), is expected to be a major quality-degrading factor close to the galactic plane. Correcting for the incompleteness of the DENIS data could produce accurate starcounts very close to the galactic plane. 相似文献

We present a method of unit vectors of calculating preliminary orbit with single-station and single-arc ranging data, assuming known orbital plane parameters i and Ω. Practical calculations show that this method is effective. This method is particularly valuable in cases where the angle data are either unavailable or obviously less accurate than the ranging data. 相似文献

In this paper we apply the Wiener-Hopf technique combined with the method of the Laplace transform, to derive an exact solution of the transport equation for neutron diffusion in an isotropically scattering plane-parallel medium of finite thickness in which are situated a plane source at the middle and a uniformly distributed point source, there being flux of beams normally incident from outside on the two extreme parallel surfaces of the medium. 相似文献

This paper deals with the collapse and expansion of relativistic anisotropic self-gravitating source. The field equations for non-radiating and non-static plane symmetric anisotropic source have been evaluated. The non-radiating property of the fluid leads to evaluation of the metric functions. We have classified the dynamical behavior of gravitational source as expansion and collapse. The collapse in this case leads to the final stage without the formation of apparent horizons while such horizons exists in case of spherical anisotropic source. The matching of interior and exterior regions provides the continuity of masses over the boundary surface. 相似文献

Models for the distribution of sodium in Io's vicinity and in a disk in Io's orbital plane, compared with observational data, support arguments (1) that Io is the source of the sodium, (2) that sodium is ejected from the inside hemisphere and most of the high velocity sodium which is observed is ejected from the leading inside quadrant, (3) that most of the sodium leads Io in Io's vicinity but follows Io at distances of more than 7Rj from Jupiter, (4) that a significant fraction of the sodium flux is ejected at large angles with respect to Io's orbital plane, (5) that the source velocity distribution has a pronounced high-velocity tail, and (6) that impact ionization by electrons is significant at large distances from Io. 相似文献

We describe the scheme and design features of the new IFU unit (Integral Field Unit) meant to perform integral-field spectroscopy as a part of SCORPIO-2 focal reducer, which is mounted in the prime focus of the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophyscial Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The design of the unit is based on the principle of the formation of array spectra using a lens raster combined with optical fibers. The unit uses a rectangular raster consisting of 22×22 square 2-mm diameter lenses. The image of the object is transferred by an optical system with a 23× magnification from the focal plane of the telescope to the plane of the lens raster. The image scale is —0.″75/lens and the field of view of the instrument has the size of 16.″5 × 16.—52. The raster also contains two extra 2 × 7 lens arrays to acquire the night-sky spectra whose images are offset by ±3′from the center. Optical fibers are used to transform micropupil images into two pseudoslits located at the IFU collimator entrance. When operating in the IFU mode a set of volume phase holographic gratings (VPHG) provides a spectral range of 4600–7300 Å and a resolution λ/δλ of 1040 to 2800. The quantum efficiency of SCORPIO-2 field spectroscopy is 6–13% depending on the grating employed.We describe the technique of data acquisition and reduction using IFU unit and report the results of test observations of the Seyfert galaxyMrk 78 performed on the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 相似文献

I report further developments of the Wainscoatet al. (1992) (hereafter WCVWS) model of the point source sky. The newest version of this model now predicts cumulative or differential source counts, and integrated surface brightness of the sky due to smeared point sources, in any direction, for any infrared filter with passband within the range 2.0–35.0µm. The realistic representation of the Galaxy (disk, spiral arms and local spur, molecular ring, bulge, halo) and the extragalactic sky has been improved, guided by CO surveys of local molecular clouds. The newest version of the model is very well-validated by IRAS source counts; works well at B and V, even in the plane; and operates successfully in the far-ultraviolet (FUV). Applications discussed are: interpreting the new TMGS near-infrared survey of the plane; confusion in sky surveys; and seeking cosmological background radiation. 相似文献

Photographic photometric measurements of 2 arcsec resolution of the central regions of M82 are presented in the three colours U, B, V. The observed light is decomposed into two parts: stellar light and light from the central source scattered by dust. The variation of the reddening of both components is derived. The dust distribution pattern is different near the spatial centre of M82 and farther out. The equator of the dust complex obscuring the central source is inclined to the overall symmetry plane of M82. The outer dust clouds responsible for the obscuration of the visible stellar light are probably arranged in a spiral-like fashion; the “plane” containing these clouds is strongly warped and distrubed. The light of the bright knots A and C consists to a considerable part of scattered light from the central source nearly behind them. Hα light and scattered continuum light is strongly correlated in M82, pointing to an ionisation of the gas by the source of this continuum in addition to the presence of scattered Hα. 相似文献

Considerations of the geometry appropriate to observations of the zodiacal light made from out of the ecliptic plane yield the general inversion of the brightness integral. The brightness per unit volume of interplanetary space can thus be determined in the immediate neighborhood of the spacecraft in directions confined to a unique viewing plane which depends upon the spacecraft's trajectory. The implementation of this technique guarantees the maximum information content of optical observations made from future deep-space probes including the “Out-of-Ecliptic” mission scheduled for launch in 1983. 相似文献

The problem of determining the intensity and the degree of polarization of radiation emerging from an inhomogeneous finite plane medium for the case of Rayleigh scattering with internal energy source is considered. A system of coupled integral equations are obtained and solved by the Galerkin method. The degree of polarization for homogeneous and inhomogeneous media are calculated for uniform and nonuniform sources. 相似文献

In the previous papers (I and II), we have obtained exact solutions of the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory in plane and cylindrically-symmetric space-times. In the present work we have obtained a more general set of solutions from those given in Papers I and II, by Morganstern's unit transformation. 相似文献
