Applications of laser-created dense e<Superscript>+</Superscript>e<Superscript>−</Superscript> pairs
We review the recent developments of laser pair creation in the laboratory and their potential applications to astrophysics
and other frontiers. Many astrophysical phenomena involving e+e− plasmas may be systematically investigated in the laboratory setting. We also discuss potential applications of dense positronium
gas. 相似文献

The lateral distribution of cascade particles in extensive air showers from cosmic rays with energy E0 ? 1017 eV has been studied at the Yakutsk array by the ground scintillation detectors over the period of continuous observations 1977–2017. The experimental data are compared with those computed with various models for the development of extensive air showers from the CORSIKA software package. The best agreement between the theory and experiment is observed for the QGSjet-01-d model. In the energy range (1?20)× 1017 eV there is a change in the cosmic-raymass composition from 〈lnA〉 ≈ 2.5 to the proton one. 相似文献

We measured the radial velocity of the star θ1 Ori D from IUE spectra and used published observations. Based on these data, we determined the period of its radial-velocity variations, P=20.2675±0.0010 days, constructed the phase radial-velocity curve, and solved it by least squares. The spectroscopic orbital elements were found to be the following: the epoch of periastron passage Ep=JD 2430826.6±0.1, the system's center-of-mass velocity /Gg=32.4±1.0 km s?1, K=14.3±1.5 km s?1, Ω=3.3±0.1 rad, e=0.68±0.09, a1 sin i = 3 × 1010 km, and f1 = 0.0025M⊙. Twice the period, P=40.528±0.002 days, is also consistent with the observations. 相似文献

We have obtained new constraints on the cosmological parameters Ω m and σ 8 from the peculiar velocities of flat edge-on spiral galaxies from the RFGC catalog. Based on these results presented graphically, we have found the quantitative condition (Ω m /0.3)0.37 σ 8 = 0.92 ± 0.05. The estimates of Ω m and σ 8, along with their combinations Ω m α σ 8 for various α, are compared with the estimates by other authors. 相似文献

We present the results of a harmonic analysis of and search for clusters in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies E0≥5×1016 eV and zenith angles ?≤53° detected at the Yakutsk extensive air shower (EAS) array from 1974 to 2002. We show that the phase of the first harmonic periodically varies greatly and takes on nonrandom values at a confidence level ≥4σ. These phases point to the Supergalactic plane (the Local supercluster of galaxies). 相似文献

We present a catalog of radio sources extending the RCR (RATAN Cold Refined) catalog to the right-ascension interval 2h ≤ RA < 7h. The list of objects was obtained in the process of a reprocessing of the observations of the “Cold” experiment conducted in 1980–1981 on RATAN-600 radio telescope at the declination of SS433, and the reduction of the 1987–1999 surveys of the same experiment.We report the right ascensions and integrated flux densities for 237 sources found at 7.6 cm (3.94 GHz) and their spectral exponents at 3.94 and 0.5 GHz. Twenty-nine sources of the list, which are mostly weaker than 30 mJy at 3.94 GHz, have available data only at two frequencies—1.4 and 3.94 Hz.We approximated the spectra of the sources using all catalogs available in the CATS and VizieR databases that meet the survey strip, and, in some cases, using the flux densities estimates from VLSSr,GLEAM, TGSS, and GB6 survey maps.We constructed the histograms of the spectral indices of the sources and verified the reliability of the identifications of sources found in the scans by comparing the coordinates and integrated flux densities with the corresponding parameters listed in the NVSS catalog. In the right ascension interval considered we found no objects at the 10–15 mJy level lacking in decimeter-wave catalogs. 相似文献

The Maunder Minimum was the time during the second part of the 17th century, nominally from 1645 to 1717 AD, when unusually
low numbers of sunspots were observed. On the basis of numerous recorded observations of auroras in the early 18th century,
the end of the Minimum could be regarded as around 1700, but details of sunspot observations by Jan Heweliusz (Heweliusz,
Machina Coelestis, 1679), John Flamsteed and Philippe de La Hire in 1684 allow us to interpret the Maunder Minimum as the period without a significant
cessation of activity. This Minimum was also recognized in 14C data from trees which grew during the second part of 17th century.
The variation in the production rate of radioactive carbon isotope 14C is due to modulation of the cosmic ray flux producing it by the changing level of solar activity and solar magnetic flux.
Stronger magnetic fields in the solar wind make it more difficult for cosmic rays to reach the Earth, causing a drop in the
production rate of 14C. However, more detailed analyses of 14C data indicate that the highest isotope abundances do not occur at the time of sunspot minima, as would be expected on the
basis of modulation of the cosmic ray flux by the solar magnetic field, but two years after the sunspot number maximum. This
time difference (or phase delay) can be accounted for if in fact there are both solar and non-solar cosmic ray contributions.
Solar flares could also contribute high-energy particles and produce 14C and are generally not most frequent at the time of the highest sunspot numbers in the cycle. 相似文献

We consider the circular planar restricted three-body problem with the mass parameter μ = 5 × 10?5. Two families of periodic solutions are calculated: family c, starting from the collinear fixed point L 1, and the initial part of familyi, which begins by direct circular orbits of an infinitely small radius around the body of bigger mass. The calculated families are very close to the generating ones, which we described earlier. In particular, the existence of the predicted zigzag structure of characteristics of family iis verified. New properties of the planar and vertical traces are discovered. 相似文献

We computed the occultations of stars brighter than 15m by the largest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) for the next ten years. In our search, we used the following catalogs: Hipparcos; Tycho2 with the coordinates of 2838666 stars taken from UCAC2 (Herald 2003); and UCAC2 (Zacharias et al. 2003) with 16356096 stars between \(12\mathop .\limits^m 00\) and \(14\mathop .\limits^m 99\) north of ?45° declination. We predicted the occultations of stars by the seventeen largest numbered TNOs, the recently discovered 2004 DW, and four known binary Kuiper Belt objects. We selected 64 events at solar elongations of no less than 30°, including the extremely rare occultation of a \(6\mathop .\limits^m 5\) star by the double asteroid (66652) 1999 RZ253 on October 4, 2007. Observations of these events by all available means are extremely important, since they can provide unique information about the sizes of TNOs and improve our knowledge of their orbits dramatically. 相似文献

A correlation analysis is made of the spatial distribution of galaxies in the Coma, Bridge, and A1367 clusters, which form
the Coma supercluster. The scale of the clustering of galaxies and the variation in their density distribution with the main
parameters of the galaxies– luminosity, morphological type, and observed H I deficiency in the 21 cm line– are evaluated.
The mass-to-luminosity ratios are computed for the spiral galaxies in the Coma, Bridge, and A1367 clusters. It is suggested
that a larger fraction of hypothetical dark matter may be concentrated in the spiral galaxies which predominantly populate
the subclusters previously identified by us within these clusters than in the spiral galaxies observed in the peripheral regions
of the clusters. 相似文献

Solar flares take place in regions of strong magnetic fields and are generally accepted to be the result of a resistive instability
leading to magnetic reconnection. When new flux emerges into a pre-existing active region it can act as a flare and coronal
mass ejection trigger. In this study we observed active region 10955 after the emergence of small-scale additional flux at
the magnetic inversion line. We found that flaring began when additional positive flux levels exceeded 1.38×1020 Mx (maxwell), approximately 7 h after the initial flux emergence. We focussed on the pre-flare activity of one B-class flare
that occurred on the following day. The earliest indication of activity was a rise in the non-thermal velocity one hour before
the flare. 40 min before flaring began, brightenings and pre-flare flows were observed along two loop systems in the corona,
involving the new flux and the pre-existing active region loops. We discuss the possibility that reconnection between the
new flux and pre-existing loops before the flare drives the flows by either generating slow mode magnetoacoustic waves or
a pressure gradient between the newly reconnected loops. The subsequent B-class flare originated from fast reconnection of
the same loop systems as the pre-flare flows. 相似文献

The results of investigations of the Hα and Hβ lines in the spectrum of the star HD 206267 are presented. Observations were carried out in 2011–2014 at the Cassegrain focus of the 2-m telescope of the Tusi Shamakhy Astrophysical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan using an echelle spectrometer. The following features have been revealed for the first time: the moving discrete absorption components in the core of the Hα line from the red side to the violet, the stable emission in the violet wing of the Hα line, the antiphase variation of the radial velocities and equivalent widths of the Hα line, and the independence of the changes of the equivalent widths of the Hβ line from the phase of the orbital period. No spectral features according to which this star could be considered as a source of X-ray radiation have been found. 相似文献

We present RHEA, a compact and inexpensive single-mode spectrograph which is built to exploit the capabilities of modest-sized telescopes in an economic way. The instrument is fed by up to seven optical waveguides with the aim of achieving an efficient and modal-noise-free unit, suitable for attaining extreme Doppler precision. The cross-dispersed layout features a wavelength coverage from 430–650 nm, with spectral resolution of R ～75,000. When coupled to small telescopes using fast tip/tilt control, our instrument is well-suited to sensitive spectroscopy. Example science cases are accurate radial velocity studies of low to intermediate-mass giant stars with the purpose of searching for giant plants and using asteroseismology to simultaneously measure the host star parameters. In this paper we describe the final instrument design and present first results from testing the internal stability. 相似文献

Several strong but erroneous statements were made by R. Rek in an article published in this volume of Solar Physics. Here we show that these misleading statements are caused by neglecting the known effects of the carbon cycle and misinterpretation
of the data. In particular we show that the claim of the Maunder minimum being “the period without a significant cessation
of activity” contradicts the bulk of observational evidence and is caused by the misinterpretation of proxy data. 相似文献

We study the influence of turbulent mixing on the development of thermonuclear flashes in the surface layers of neutron stars. A simple K ε model that includes various physical processes is used to describe the turbulent processes. In contrast to the widespread mixing-length theory, the K ε model does not require using additional dimensional parameters, traces the development of turbulence in dynamics, describes the various turbulence development scenarios (gravitational and shear instabilities, convection, semiconvection, etc.) in a unified way, and can be used in multidimensional numerical simulations. Empirical constants of the model are chosen on the basis of experimental data and direct numerical simulations of typical processes. We have used the Era and Tigr-3T software packages to numerically simulate thermonuclear flashes in the accretion-renewable atmospheres of neutron stars. Turbulence is shown to accelerate significantly the transport of released energy to the stellar surface. Mixing equalizes the concentrations of matter components throughout the burning layer and increases the amount of matter involved in the thermonuclear burning during a flash. 相似文献

We present preliminary statistics on the precipitable water vapor (PWV) content over the Karakaya Hills in Erzurum city, where the largest optical and near-infrared astronomical telescope in Turkey will be operated. Since the observatory will observe in the near-infrared (NIR), it is intended to perform PWV measurements of the atmosphere above the site by using signal delays in Global Positioning System (GPS) communication. The analysis of the GPS data recorded on the summit for almost one year shows that the atmosphere over the site of the observatory, which has an altitude of 3170 m, has favorable conditions for NIR observations. From GPS measurements, we report that the site had an average PWV of 3.2 mm and a median PWV of 2.7 mm between October 6, 2016, and June 15, 2017. We also present the time dependency of the PWV content and the correlations between the amount of PWV and the other meteorological records gathered from radiosonde flights and ground-based measurements. 相似文献

We study the variability of the Hγ, Hβ, and Hα line profiles in the spectrum of the supergiant κ Cas. The variability pattern proved to be the same for all the lines considered: their profiles are superimposed by blueshifted, central, and redshifted emission. For Hγ the positions of the emissions coincide with the positions of the corresponding emissions for He I λλ 5876, 6678 Å lines, and are equal to about ?135 ± 30.0 km s?1, ?20 ± 20 kms?1, and 135 ± 30.0 kms?1, respectively, whereas the three emissions in the Hβ profiles are fixed at about ?170.0 ± 70.0 kms?1, 20 ± 30 kms?1, and 170.0 ± 70.0 km s?1, respectively. The positions of the blueshifted and central emissions for Hα are the same as for Hβ, with additional blueshifted emission at ?135.0 ± 30.0 kms?1, whereas no traces of emission can be seen in the red wing of the line. These emissions show up more conspicuously in wind lines, however, their traces can be seen in all photospheric lines. When passing from wind lines to photospheric lines the intensity of superimposed emission components decreases and the same is true for the absolute values of their positions in line wings expressed in terms of radial velocities. The V/R variations of the lines studied found in the spectrum of κ Cas and the variability of the Hα emission indicate that the star is a supergiant showing Be phenomenon. 相似文献

This paper describes design of the trajectory and analysis of the stability of collinear point L
2 in the Sun-Earth system. The modified restricted three body problem with additional gravitational potential from the belt
is used as the model for the Sun-Earth system. The effect of radiation pressure of the Sun and oblate shape of the Earth are
considered. The point L
2 is asymptotically stable up to a specific value of time t correspond to each set of values of parameters and initial conditions. The results obtained from this study would be applicable
to locate a satellite, a telescope or a space station around the point L

New measurements of the longitudinal magnetic field of the Ap star γ Equ obtained with the MSS spectrograph of the 6-m telescope of the SAO RAS in 2002–2018 are present. Analyzing our results together with all the available literature data sources of 〈Bz〉 (441 measurements) we found the rotation period P = 89.1 ± 4.2 years (32 521 days). Fitting all the measurements with double sine-wave function resulted in two periods equal to 95.5 and 17.4 years (with the errors of 3.5 and 2 years correspondingly). According to our new estimate, the transition to positive values of 〈Bz〉, probably, will occur later than previously assumed, literally in 2031. 相似文献
