The power in the different modes of an expansion of the solar radial magnetic field at the surface in terms of Legendre polynomials,P , is calculated with the help of a solar dynamo model studied earlier. The model is of the Babcock–Leighton type, i.e., the surface eruptions of the toroidal magnetic field – through the tilt angle, , formed by the magnetic axis of a bipolar magnetic region with the east-west line – are the sources for the poloidal field. In this paper it is assumed that the tilt angle is subject to fluctuations of the form, = ()+ <> where <> is the average value and () is a random normal fluctuation with standard deviation which is taken from Howard's observations of the distribution of tilt angles. For numerical considerations, negative values of were not allowed. If this occurred, was recalculated. The numerical integrations were started with a toroidal magnetic field antisymmetric across the equator, large enough to generate eruptions, and a negligible poloidal field. The fluctuations in the tilt angle destroy the antisymmetry as time increases. The power of the antisymmetric modes across the equator (i.e., odd values of ) is concentrated in frequencies, p, corresponding to the cycle period. The maximum power lies in the =3 mode with considerable power in the =5 mode, in broad agreement with Stenflo's results who finds a maximum power at =5. For the symmetric modes, there is considerable power in frequencies larger than p, again in broad agreement with Stenflo's power spectrum.  相似文献

A statistical analysis of solar particle events, observed by the GSFC-UNH charged particle detector on board Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 from March 1972 to December 1974 (from 1 to 5 AU for each spacecraft), is carried out with the goal of experimentally determining the statistical average interplanetary propagation conditions from 3 to 30 MeV. A numerical propagation model is developed that includes diffusion with a diffusion coefficient of the form k r =k o r , convection, adiabatic deceleration, and a variable coronal injection profile. The statistical analysis is carried out by individually analyzing each of five parameters (t max, (tmax), t 5, ) that are uniquely defined in a solar particle event. Each of the five parameter data sets were analyzed in terms of both a spacecraft-solar flare connection longitude 50°, and a numerical model that employed a variable exponential decaying coronal injection profile.The five individual parameter analyses are combined with the results that the statistical average radial interplanetary diffusion coefficient from 1 to 5 AU is given by k r = (1.2 ± 0.4) × 1021 cm2 s-1 with = 0.0± 0.3 for 3.4 to 5.2 MeV protons and k r = (2.6 ± 0.6) × 1021 cm2 s-1 with () = 0.0± 0.3 for 24 to 30 MeV protons. Using the classical relationship for the radial scattering mean free path r, i.e. k r = r/3, we obtain r = 0.09 ± 0.03 AU and 0.075 ± 0.020 AU for the low and high energy data, respectively. These results show, from 1 to 5 AU and from 3 to 30 MeV, that r is both independent of radial distance and approximately independent of rigidity (for r~P , where P = rigidity, = -0.15 ± 0.20).The above diffusion coefficients are inconsistent With both the predictions of the diffusion coefficient from present theoretical transport models and with the diffusion coefficient used in modulation studies at low energies.  相似文献

It is shown that inelastic proton collisions in extragalactic radio sources can account for their radio and -ray emissions. The proton Lorentz-factor p responsible for -ray emission is estimated to lie between 1.4 and 86. But for the radio emission (with e ~ 103-104) the estimated p values lie between 7 to 300. The estimates of total particle and magnetic energy for a typical radio source is in agreement with equipartition theory.  相似文献

We have examined six solar neutron events measured by satellite instruments and/or neutron monitors (NM) to understand the relationship between the intensity–time profiles of the -ray lines, the pion-related -rays, and the neutron production. In all six events the solar neutron production was clearly time-extended. We find that neutron emission as detected by NMs most closely follows the emission of pion-related -rays, whereas lower energy neutron production may follow that of nuclear -ray line emissions. Although this distinction is not unexpected, it is safe to say that the 2.223 MeV -ray line from neutron capture on hydrogen is a poor measure of the neutron production at energies >200 MeV. During the three events on 1982, June 3, 1990, May 24 and 1991, June 4 solar neutrons with energies greater than 200 MeV were recorded by NMs. The NM increases on 1982, June 3 and 1990, May 24 can be modeled using the time profile of the pion-related -rays. For the 1991, June 4 event the NM signal was small but lasted for 60 min and the high-energy -ray data available to us are insufficient to conclude unambiguously that the high-energy neutron production followed the pion-related -rays. In the other three events on 1991, June 9, 11, and 15 solar neutrons with energies 10–100 MeV were observed by the COMPTEL -ray instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The duration of the low-energy neutron production on 1991, June 9 corresponded clearly to the high-energy and not to the low-energy -ray emission.  相似文献

We study the bimetric theory of gravitation with background metric ik. In contrast to the accepted point of view, in which ik, is a metric given a priori, we assume that ik is a dynamic variable determined from the condition that the total action of the gravitating system must be an extremum. As a result it turns out that (1) ik can be described by the Einstein equation in space-time with the metric ik and (2) the energy-momentum tensor of the graviational field ik, is the source of ik. In this sense ik can be considered a secondary field in relation to gik. We determine the conditions for existence of integral covariant conservation laws. Two of the latter have no analogs in the theory with the background metric given a priori.Translated fromAstrofizika, Vol. 37, No. 3, 1994.The author is grateful to the participants in the seminar of the Department of Theoretical Physics at Erevan State University, and also to W.

We determine the momentum distribution of the relativistic particles near the Crab pulsar from the observed X- and -ray spectra (103109 eV), provided that the curvature radiation is responsible for it. The power law spectrum for the relativistic electrons,f() –5, reproduces a close fit to the observed high-energy photon spectrum. The theoretically determined upper limit to the momentum (due to radiation damping), M 8×106, corresponds to the upper cut-off energy of the -ray spectrum, 109 eV. The lower limit to the momentum, m 1.8×105, is chosen such that flattening of the X-ray spectrum below 10 keV is simulated. The number density of these electrons is found to be much higher than the Goldreich-Julian density. We also discuss pulse shape and polarization of high-energy photons. The extremely high density of particles and the steep momentum spectrum are difficult to understand. This may imply that another, more efficient, mechanism is in operation.  相似文献

The cosmic -ray spectrum below 1 GeV arising from cosmic ray p-p interactions is calculated. Its characteristics are determined by the properties of secondary neutral pion production occurring at accelerator energies. A model is chosen for numerical calculations in which the two dominant modes of neutral pion production at accelerator energies are the production of the (1.238) isobar and one fireball. The effect of -p and p- interactions on the cosmic -ray spectrum is also calculated. The final results are given in terms of both differential and integral -ray energy spectra.  相似文献

Spatially homogeneous and isotropic Robertson-Walker model of the universe is studied in Barber's second self-creation theory of gravitation in the presence of perfect fluid by using gamma-law equation of state p =(-1). The parameter gamma varies continuously with cosmological time. Exact solutions of the field equations are obtained for inflationary period and radiation-dominated era by using the power law relation Rn-3 = B. Some physical properties of the models are also discussed.  相似文献

Relative abundances in the region 74Z83 (W to Bi) are determined for 73 Dra, HR 4072, and some other Ap stars. Abundance peaks occur at atomic massesA=191±2 on 73 Dra, atA=201±3 on HR 4072, atA=199±5 on other main group Ap stars, and atA=201±2 on Mn stars. Pb has a relatively low abundance on Ap stars and also in cosmic rays which have an abundance peak atA=193±3. The abundance peaks on main group Ap stars are due to the cyclicr-process which occurred in explosions of former companion stars. Fission products of transuranic elements are recycled by further rapid neutron captures. At the end of ther-process, the high neutron flux decreases gradually so that the final -decays take place in a neutron-rich environment; superheavy elements (Z110) formed in ther-process may be partly destroyed by neutron-induced fission. The pulsar remnants of the explosions accelerater-process elements to cosmic-ray energies. The peak atA 201 on Mn stars is discussed briefly.  相似文献

A model of -bursts is considered that treats the flares of neutron stars as a result of convectiveoscillation instability associated with the stars having strong internal magnetic fields ( 1013 to 1014 G). In the context of this model only sufficiently old (104 to 107 yr), drastically cooled-down neutron stars may be sources of -bursts. The paper shows that major characteristics of a -burster in the Supernova N 49 remnant (energy release during burst up to 1044 erg, age 104 yr, burst-to-burst interval (I to 3)×106s; rotation period P=8 s) may be explained under the assumption that the mass of the neutron star is about 0.14M · while its mean magnetic field strength is 1.5×1014 G abd 1013 G within the star and on its surface, respectively. The observational tests of the model discussed conclude the paper.  相似文献

Infinite series expansions are obtained for the doubly averaged effects of the Moon and Sun on a high altitude Earth satellite, and the results used to interpret numerically integrated examples. New in this paper are: (1) both sublunar and translunar satellites are considered; (2) analytic expansions include all powers in the satellite and perturbing body semi-major axes; (3) the fact that retrograde orbits have more benign eccentricity behavior than direct orbits should be exploited for high altitude satellite systems; and (4) near circular orbits can be maintained with small expenditures of fuel in the face of an exponential driving force one forI ab, whereI b=180°–I a andI a is somewhat less than 39.2° for sublunar orbits and somewhat greater than 39.2° for translunar orbits.Nomenclature a semi-major axis - A lk coefficient defined in Equation (11) - B lk coefficient defined in Equation (24) - C km coefficient defined in Equation (25) - D, E, F coefficients in Equations (38), (39) - e eccentricity - H k expression defined in Equation (34) - expression defined in Equation (35) - I inclination of satellite orbit on lunar (or solar) ring plane - J 2 coefficient of second harmonic of Earth's gravitational potential (1082.637×10–6 R E 2 ) - K k, Lk, Mk expressions in Section 4 - expressions in Section 4 - p=a(1–e 2) semi-latus rectum - P l Legendre polynomial of degreel - q argument of Legendre polynomial - radial distance of satellite - R E Earth equatorial radius (6378.16 km) - R, S, W perturbing accelerations in the radial, tangential and orbit normal directions - syn synchronous orbit radius (42 164.2 km=6.6107R E) - t time - T satellite orbital period - T orbital period of perturbing body (Moon) - T e period of long periodic oscillations ine for |I|<I a - T s synodic period - U gravitational potential of lunar (or solar) ring - x, y, z Cartesian coordinates of a satellite with (x, y) being the ring plane - coefficient defined in Equation (20) - average change in orbital element over one orbit (=a, e, I, , ) - 1,23 unit vectors in thex, y, z coordinate directions - r , s , w unit vectors in the radial, tangential and orbit normal directions - =+ angle along the orbital plane from the ascending node on the ring plane to the true position of the satellite - angle around the ring - gravitational constant times mass of Earth (3.986 013×105 km s–2) - gravitational constant times mass of Moon (or Sun) - m gravitational constant times mass of Moon (/81.301) - s gravitational constant time mass of Sun (332 946 ) - ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - radius of lunar (or solar) ring - m radius of lunar ring (60.2665R E) - s radius of solar ring (23455R E) - true anomaly - argument of perigee - 0 initial value of - i critical value of in quadranti(i=1, 2, 3, 4) - longitude of ascending node on ring plane This work was sponsored by the Department of the Air Force.  相似文献

The resistive stability of coronal loops to perturbations with short wavelength across the magnetic field is analysed, taking full account of the line tying effect due to the presence of the photosphere. The results presented are similar to those previously obtained for arcades: configurations with a pressure profile decreasing with distance from the loop axis at some point are found to be always unstable, the growth rate increasing monotonically with the wavenumber (n) and scaling approximately as (n 2 D r)1/3 in the limit of large n.  相似文献

A general formula is derived for calculating the -ray spectrum resulting from the annihilation of cosmic-ray positrons. This formula is used to calculate annihilation--ray spectra from various equilibrium spectra of secondary galactic positrons. These spectra are then compared with the -ray spectra produced by other astrophysical processes.Particular attention is paid to the form of the -ray spectrum resulting from the annihilation of positrons having kinetic energies below 5 keV. It is found that for mean leakage times out of the galaxy of less than 400 million years, most of the positrons annihilating near rest come from the -decay of unstable nuclei produced in cosmic-ray p-C12, p-N14, and p-O16 interactions, rather than from pi-meson decay. It is further found that the large majority of these positrons will annihilate from an S state of positronium and that 3/4 of these will produce a three-photon annihilation continuum rather than the two-photon line spectrum at 0.51 MeV. The results of numerical calculations of the -ray fluxes from these processes are given. It is concluded that annihilation -rays from the galactic halo may remain forever masked by a metagalactic continuum. However, an 0.51 MeV line from the disk may well be detectable. It is most reasonable to assume that this line is formed predominantly by the annihilation of the CNO -decay positrons. Under this assumption, the intensity of the line becomes a sensitive measure of the galactic cosmic-ray flux below 1000 MeV/nucleon.  相似文献

The electrical conductivity of the lunar interior has been determined from magnetic field step transients measured on the lunar dark side. The simplest model which best fits the data is a spherically symmetric three layer model having a nonconducting outer crust of radial thickness 0.03R moon; an intermediate layer of thicknessR0.37R moon, with electrical conductivity 1 3.5 × 10–4 mhos/m; and an inner core of radiusR 2 0.6R m with conductivity 2 10–2 mhos/m. Temperatures calculated from these conductivities in the three regions for an example of an olivine Moon are as follows: crust, < 440 K; intermediate layer, 890 K; and core, 1240 K. The whole-moon relative permeability has been calculated from the measurements to be/ 0 = 1.03 ± 0.13. Remanent magnetic fields at the landing sites are 38 ± 3 at Apollo 12, 43 ± 6 and 103 ± 5 at two Apollo 14 sites separated by 1.1 km, and 6 ± 4 at the Apollo 15 site. Measurements show that the 38 remanent field at the Apollo 12 site is compressed to 54 by a solar wind pressure increase of 7 × 10–8 dynes/cm2.National Research Council Postdoctoral Associate.  相似文献

Three active galaxies, generally classified as Seyferts, have been discovered recently to be powerful, low energy -ray sources. The similarity between their spectral characteristics and those of the cosmic background at -ray energies suggests that these objects could make a significant contribution to this diffuse flux. This contribution has been assessed using two different number densities of -ray-emitting Seyfert galaxies based on optical and X-ray data. The comparison of the estimated and measured diffuse -ray background intensities is used to gain a deeper understanding of the metabolism of Seyfert galaxies.  相似文献

The possibility of using a Friedmann-Lemaître model with a non-zero cosmological constant is investigated on the basis of analyses of the RATAN-600 and 87GB radio surveys and optical constraints. A zero deceleration parameter and critical matter density are features of the model. The model is in agreement with current observational data, including estimates of the age of the Universe, Hubble constant measurements, and the - z relation. A value for the cosmological constant is determined and its physical nature discussed.  相似文献

The stability of coronal arcades to localized resistive interchange modes in the ballooning ordering, including photospheric line tying, is investigated. It is found that the anchoring of magnetic footpoints in the photosphere is not sufficient to stabilise ballooning modes, once resistivity is taken into account. All configurations with a pressure profile decreasing from the arcade axis at some point are unstable, a purely growing mode being excited. The dependence of the growth rate on the parameter Rm –1 k 2 , where is the resistivity and k the wavenumber in a direction perpendicular to the equilibrium field, can be described by a power law with varying index: for small values of k 2 and an ideally stable field one finds Rm –1. As k 2 is increased or marginal stability is approached one finds Rm–1/3. T implications of these localised instabilities to the temporal evolution and overall energy balance of arcade structures in the solar corona is discussed.  相似文献

Expressions for the stimulated Compton effect are derived that are complete to order /ge/, where is the photon energy in the laboratory system, and =m 0 C 2 is the electron energy. Explicit formulas are given for the energy flow between a relativistic electron and a radiation field that obeys a power law so that the number of photons is proportional to –m–1. The amount of energy gained by an electron per second is then numerically calculated for conditions suggested by very compact radio sources as a function of the width of the spectrum, the spectral index, and the electron energy.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

The emission spectra and their time variations of gyro-synchrotron emission from an ensemble of energetic electrons are computed for some initial power-law distributions of the electron energies N()d= with =2 or 4. The spectra and decay curves of the emission are compared with solar microwave bursts in order to separately estimate the magnetic field H and . From a limited number of observations, we have 3 and H 103 gauss for the microwave impulsive bursts, and 2 and H (500–1000) gauss for the microwave type-IV bursts.  相似文献
