Density profiles for CO, O, and O2 in the Cytherean atmosphere above 90 km are plotted with eddy diffusion coefficient (K) as a parameter, subject to the constraint that the mixing ratios of CO and O2 approach their observed value or values under the observed upper limit at the lower boundary. It is then shown that the value of K puts upper limits on the amount of hydrogen (in the form of H2O, HCl, and H2) the atmosphere near 90km can contain. This value is a function of the density and temperature of hydrogen at the critical level and the magnitude of the total escape flux, where unspecified flux mechanisms other than thermal are postulated ad hoc. In general these constraints call for large values of K to accomodate the atomic hydrogen produced by measured mixing ratios of HCl and H2O. Hence they constrain thee amount of O in the upper atmosphere to values well under 1% at 130 km unless there are very large hydrogen escape fluxes, 107 cm?2sec?1 or larger. The freedom to assume arbitrary amounts of H2 in the atmosphere is also restricted. We suggest either very effective escape mechanisms—despite low exospheric hydrogen densities—or novel excitation mechanisms for O(33S) and O(35S) in the upper atmosphere. 相似文献

To explain the variety of observed optical emission stratification in the shells around Wolf-Rayet stars, we have calculated the nonstationary cooling of a homogeneous gas layer heated to a temperature (0.4–2) × 105 K. We have assumed that the nebula is ionized by its central star and consists of a rarefied gas and a set of clouds with different densities through which adiabatic shock waves produced by the stellar wind propagate. Based on this model, we have determined the sequence in which the emission in Hα and in nebular oxygen lines appears. The Hα emission attributable to the electron-collision excitation of hydrogen atoms is produced earliest on the periphery of nebulae, the [O III] line emission follows next, and, finally, the Hα recombination emission is produced. The results obtained are in good agreement with the observational data. 相似文献

We present a theoretical derivation of the Hα line luminosity of the expanding envelope of SN 1987A from the theory of hydrogen recombination lines. A remarkable deviation of our calculated Hα light curve from the observed light curve was found when a constant temperature was assumed. From the deviation we easily derive the temperature evolution. The temperature actually rises after day 500 and this may be explained as follows: as the shell expands, the electron and ion densities rapidly fall, greatly reducing the recombination cooling rate, while heating continues. 相似文献

Based on a self-consistent solution of the equations of gas dynamics, kinetics of hydrogen atomic level populations, and radiative transfer, we analyze the structure of a shock wave that propagates in a partially ionized hydrogen gas. We consider the radiative transfer at the frequencies of spectral lines by taking into account the effects of a moving medium in the observer's frame of reference. The flux in Balmer lines is shown to be formed behind the shock discontinuity at the initial hydrogen recombination stage. The Doppler shift of the emission-line profile is approximately one and a half times smaller than the gas flow velocity in the Balmer emission region, because the radiation field of the shock wave is anisotropic. At Mach numbers M1?10 and unperturbed gas densities σ1=10?10 g cm?3, the Doppler shift is approximately one third of the shock velocity U1. The FWHM of the emission-line profile δ ? is related to the shock velocity by δ ? ≈ k ? U1, where k ? = 1, 0.6, and 0.65 for the Hα, Hβ, and Hγ lines, respectively. 相似文献

The formation of circumstellar Na I and Ca II resonance absorption lines in a type Ia supernova is studied in the case where the supernova explodes in a binary system with a red giant. The model suggests a spherically symmetric wind and takes into account the nonstationary ionization and heating of the wind by X rays from the shock wave and by gamma rays from radioactive 56Ni decay. For wind densities typical of a red giant, the expected optical depth of the wind in Na I lines is shown to be too small (τ < 10?3) for their detection. Under the same conditions, the optical depth of the predicted Ca II 3934 Å absorption line is sufficient for its detection (τ > 0.1). It is concluded that the Na I and Ca II absorption lines detected in SN 2006X could not be formed in the red giant wind and are most likely related to clouds at distances exceeding the dust evaporation radius (r > 1017 cm). An upper limit for the rate of mass loss through a stationary wind with velocity u has been obtained from the absence of Ca II absorption lines in SN 2006X unrelated to the similar Na I components: ? < 10?8 (u/10 km s?1) M ⊙ yr?1. 相似文献

Dirty ice of a second kind (major components, H2O, CO, and N2; minor components less than several percents, NH3, CH4, and other organic substances such as HCN, CH3CN etc.) is assumed for the composition of volatiles in the cometary nucleus. The consistency with the observations of molecular ions and daughter molecules in the cometary atmosphere is argued by taking into account various ion-molecular reactions and dissociative recombinations. There is a satisfactory agreement for the second kind of dirty-ice model, but the presence of large amounts of CH4 and NH3 is found to be rather in contradiction with observational evidence. A velocity of 8 km s?1 for the hydrogen atoms, derived from analysis of the hydrogen Lyman-alpha corona around comets, is found from the dissociative recombination of H3O+, the dominant constituent of cometary ionosphere, in accordance with H3O++e ?→OH+H+H. 相似文献

Simultaneous measurements of the nightglow profiles of the O2(b1Σg+?X3Σg?) A-band, the atomic oxygen green line and the OH (8?3) Meinel band are presented. The altitude profiles are used to determine both the excitation mechanisms for the oxygen emissions and the atomic oxygen altitude distribution. It is shown that the measurements are consistent with a green line excitation through the Barth mechanism and that the molecular oxygen emission is excited through oxygen recombination and the reaction between OH1 and atomic oxygen. The derived atomic oxygen concentrations,6.2 × 1011cm?3at 98km, are consistent with the Jacchia (1971) model. 相似文献

It is proposed that the available measurements of the O2(b1Σg+ ?X3Σg?) atmospheric bands both in the nightglow and in the laboratory indicate that the excitation mechanism is a two-step process rather than the direct three body recombination of atomic oxygen. It is shown that such a two-step mechanism can explain observations of the atmospheric bands both in altitude and intensity. 相似文献

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the nearby type-IIP supernova 2004dj are presented. The 56Ni mass in the envelope of SN 2004dj was estimated from the light curve to be ≈0.02M⊙. This estimate is confirmed by modeling the Hα luminosity. The Hα emission line exhibits a strong asymmetry characterized by the presence of a blue component in the line with a shift of ?1600 km s?1 at the early nebular phase. A similar asymmetry was found in the Hβ, [O I], and [Ca II] lines. The line asymmetry is interpreted as being the result of asymmetric 56Ni ejecta. The Hα profile and its evolution are reproduced in the model of an asymmetric bipolar 56Ni structure for a spherical hydrogen distribution. The mass of the front 56Ni jet is comparable to that of the central component and twice that of the rear 56Ni jet. We point out that the asymmetric bipolar structure of 56Ni ejecta is also present in SN 1999em, a normal type-IIP supernova. 相似文献

We study disparity between Hα and Hβ in early spectra of the type IIP supernova SN 2008in. The point is that these lines cannot be described simultaneously in a spherically-symmetric model with the smooth density distribution. It is shown that an assumption of a clumpy structure of external layers of the envelope resolves the problem. We obtain estimates of the velocity at the inner border of the inhomogeneous zone (≈6100 km s?1), the filing factor of inhomogeneities (≤0.5), and the mass of the inhomogeneous layers (～0.03 M ⊙). The amplitude of flux fluctuations in the early spectrum of Hα (ΔF/F ～ 10?2) imposes a constraint on the size of inhomogeneities (≤200 km s?1). A detection of fluctuations in the early Hα of type IIP supernovae might become an observational test of the inhomogeneous structure of their envelopes. We propose also the indirect test of the clumpy structure of external layers: the study of properties of the initial radiation outburst due to the shock breakout. The inhomogeneous structure of external layers of type IIP supernovae could be an outcome of density perturbations and density inversion in outer convective layers of presupernova red supergiant. 相似文献

The photochemistry of the stratosphere of Venus was modeled using an updated and expanded chemical scheme, combined with the results of recent observations and laboratory studies. We examined three models, with H2 mixing ratio equal to 2 × 10?5, 5 × 10?7, and 1 × 10?13, respectively. All models satisfactorily account for the observations of CO, O2, O2(1Δ), and SO2 in the stratosphere, but only the last one may be able to account for the diurnal behavior of mesospheric CO and the uv albedo. Oxygen, derived from CO2 photolysis, is primarily consumed by CO2 recombination and oxidation of SO2 to H2SO4. Photolysis of HCl in the upper stratosphere provides a major source of odd hydrogen and free chlorine radicals, essential for the catalytic oxidation of CO. Oxidation of SO2 by O occurs in the lower stratosphere. In the high-H2 model (model A) the OO bond is broken mainly by S + O2 and SO + HO2. In the low-H2 models additional reactions for breaking the OO bond must be invoked: NO + HO2 in model B and ClCO + O2 in model C. It is shown that lightning in the lower atmosphere could provide as much as 30 ppb of NOx in the stratosphere. Our modeling reveals a number of intriguing similarities, previously unsuspected, between the chemistry of the stratosphere of Venus and that of the Earth. Photochemistry may have played a major role in the evolution of the atmosphere. The current atmosphere, as described by our preferred model, is characterized by an extreme deficiency of hydrogen species, having probably lost the equivalent of 102–103 times the present hydrogen content. 相似文献

Measured rates are presented for the reaction of He+ ions with H2 (and D2) molecules to form H+, H2+, and HeH+ ions, as well as for the subsequent reactions of H+ and HeH+ ions with H2 to form H3+. The neutralization of H3+ (and H5+) ions by dissociative recombination with electrons is shown to be fast. The reaction He+ + H2 is slow (k = 1.1 × 10?13 cm3/sec at300°K) and produces principally H+ by the dissociative charge transfer branch. It is concluded that there may be a serious bottleneck in the conversion of two of the primary ions of the upper Jovian ionosphere, H+ and He+ (which recombine slowly), to the rapidly recombining H3+ ion (α[H3+]?3.4 × 10?7 cm3/sec at 150°K). 相似文献

The dissociative recombination coefficients α for capture of electrons by H3+ and H5+ ions have been determined as a function of electron temperature Te using a microwave afterglow-mass spectrometer apparatus. At ion and neutral temperatures Tu+ = Tn = 240 K, the coefficient α (H3+) is found to vary slowly with Te at first, decreasing from 1.6 × 10?7 cm3/s at Te = 240 K to 1.2 × 10?7 cm3/s at Te = 500 K, thereafter falling as Te?1 over the range 500 K ? Te, ? 3000 K. These results, which have a ± 20% uncertainty, agree satisfactorily over the common energy range (0.03–0.36 eV) with the recombination cross sections determined in merged beam measurements by Auerbach et al. At T+ = Tn = 128 K, the coefficient α(H5+) is found to be (1.8 ± 0.3) × 10?6 [Te(K)/300]?0.69 cm3/s over the range 128 K ? Te ? 3000 K, with a more rapid decrease, as Te?1, between 3000 K and 5500 K. The implications of these results for modelling planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds are briefly touched on. 相似文献

We present an attempt to analyse the spectra of SN 1987n in NGC 7606, covering a period of 10 days from the time of maximum brightness. The velocities in the rest frame of NGC 7606 and the depths of the spectral lines at maximum light are very close to those of SN 1981b in NGC 4536, slight differences being nevertheless present. A distance to NGC 7606 of 46±11 Mpc for anH
0 value of 50 km s–1 Mpc–1 is inferred from Pskovskii's relation.The analysis carried out within a standard simple model of spectral synthesis involves a high uncertainty in the abundance determinations for the intermediate-mass elements quoted. This uncertainty arises on the one hand from the free choice of the excitation temperature and from the sensitivity to changes in the excitation temperature of the depths of the strongest lines of those elements and, on the other hand, from the impossibility of obtaining within this model an estimate of other abundances — He, O, Na, S — which have NLTE populations.The analysis developed in a new model based (as is the standard one) on Sobolev's approximation but allowing for a more realistic continuum treatment points to an important attenuation effect on the radiation in the lines, due to the continuum scattering, which can also affect abundance determinations. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of the binary recombination coefficient, α2, for the reaction NO++NO2? → products has been obtained over the range 185–530 K. It is found that the corresponding mean cross section is described by the power law , and that α2 ? B · T?0.4. Data has also been obtained for two cluster ion recombination reactions which indicate that their recombination cross sections are only about 40% larger than for the parent ions at a given temperature, the cross sections for these reactions also apparently increasing with decreasing temperature. In the light of this data and by considering the most probable positive and negative ions existing at various altitudes up to 90km in the atmosphere, the most appropriate ionic recombination coefficients in various altitude ranges are deduced. Thus, between 30 and 90 km, where the recombination process is two-body, the coefficient varies over the narrow range 5–9 × 10?8 cm3s?1, while below 30 km the process is predominantly three-body with an effective two-body rate increasing rapidly to a maximum value ≈3 × 10?6 cm3s?1 in the troposphere, these deductions being based on published laboratory determinations of three-body recombination coefficients. 相似文献

A model is presented for the photochemistry of PH3 in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere of Saturn that includes the effects of coupling with NH3 and hydrocarbon photochemistry, specifically the C2H2 catalyzed photodissociation of CH4. PH3 is rapidly depleted with altitude (scale height ～35 km) in the upper troposphere when K～104cm2sec?1; an upper limit for K at the tropopause is estimated at ～105cm2sec?1. If there is no gas phase P2H4 because of sublimation, P2 and P4 formation is unlikely unless the rate of the spin-forbidden recombination reaction PH + H2 + M → PH3 + M is exceedingly slow. An upper limit P4 column density of ～2×1015cm?2 is estimated in the limit of no recombination. If sublimation does not remove all gas phase P2H4, P2 and P4 may be produced in potentially larger quantities, although they would be restricted almost entirely to the lowest levels of our model, where T?100°K. Potentially observable amounts of the organophosphorus compounds CH3P2H2 and HCP are predicted, with column densities of >1017 cm?2 and production rates of ～2×108cm?2sec?1. The possible importance of electronically excited states of PHx and additional PH3/hydrocarbon photochemical coupling paths are also considered. 相似文献

The planet Jupiter, like the Earth, possesses a magnetic field, and, therefore, auroral activity is very likely. In this work, the auroral emissions due to electron precipitation are estimated for a model atmosphere with and without helium. The incident primary electrons, which are characterized by representative spectra, are degraded in energy by applying the continuous slow down approximation. All secondaries, tertiaries, and higher generation electrons are assumed to be absorbed locally. A compilation of excitation, dissociation, and ionization cross section data for H, H2, and He are used to model all aspects of the energy deposition process. Volume emission rates are calculated from the total direct excitation rates, and appropriate corrections for cascading are applied. Integrated column intensities of several kiloRayleighs are obtained for the various vibrational levels of the Lyman and Werner bands of H2, as well as the triplet continuum a3Σg+ → b3Σu+. Helium emissions are relatively small because the majority of electrons are absorbed above the region of maximum He concentration. Atomic hydrogen emissions are due mainly to dissociative excitation of molecular hydrogen rather than direct excitation. 相似文献

In this paper we discuss the ionization equilibrium of hydrogen and helium in a nebula with an arbitrary gas density distribution. If we consider the spectral characteristics of hot stars, a power law is found to provide a good approximation to the Lyman continuum spectrum for stars withT eff≤100 000 K. With this simplification the ionization equilibrium equation is analytically solved first for a pure hydrogen nebula, then for the general case of a nebula containing H, He, and heavy elements. A simple and quite general formula for the determination of the size and the emission of the He+ zone is obtained. Finally, the ionization equilibrium He++?He+ is considered. This problem can be decoupled from that of the ionization of H0 and He0 if the stellar spectrum is steeper thanv ?0.9 or, equivalently, if the star effective temperature is lower than 200 000 K. Within this limit, which surely includes all classicalHii regions and the low-medium excitation planetary nebulae, an analytical solution of the problem can be used. 相似文献
