The Sun, driving a supersonic solar wind, cuts out of the local interstellar medium a giant plasma bubble, the heliosphere. ESA, jointly with NASA, has had an important role in the development of our current understanding of the Suns immediate neighborhood. Ulysses is the only spacecraft exploring the third, out-of-ecliptic dimension, while SOHO has allowed us to better understand the influence of the Sun and to image the glow of interstellar matter in the heliosphere. Voyager 1 has recently encountered the innermost boundary of this plasma bubble, the termination shock, and is returning exciting yet puzzling data of this remote region. The next logical step is to leave the heliosphere and to thereby map out in unprecedented detail the structure of the outer heliosphere and its boundaries, the termination shock, the heliosheath, the heliopause, and, after leaving the heliosphere, to discover the true nature of the hydrogen wall, the bow shock, and the local interstellar medium beyond. This will greatly advance our understanding of the heliosphere that is the best-known example for astrospheres as found around other stars. Thus, IHP/HEX will allow us to discover, explore, and understand fundamental astrophysical processes in the largest accessible plasma laboratory, the heliosphere. 相似文献

In this paper, we analyze the results of ground-based and space-born photometric observations of the major satellites of Uranus—Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. All sets of photometric observations of the satellites available in the literature were examined for uniformity and systematic differences and summarized to a unified set by wavelength ranging from 0.25 to 2.4 μm. This set covers the interval of phase angles from 0.034° to 35°. The compound phase curves of brightness of the satellites in the spectral bands at 0.25, 0.41, 0.48, 0.56, 0.75, 0.91, 1.4, and 1.8 μm, which include a pronounced opposition surge and linear part, were constructed. For each satellite, the geometric albedo was found in different spectral bands taking into account the brightness opposition effect, and its spectral dependence was studied. It has been shown that the reflectance of the satellites linearly depends on the wavelength at different phase angles, but has different spectral gradients. The parameters of the phase functions of brightness, including the amplitude and the angular width of the brightness opposition surge, the phase coefficient, and the phase angle at which the nonlinear increase in brightness starts, were determined and their dependences on wavelength and geometric albedo were analyzed. Our investigations show that, in their optical properties, the satellites Miranda and Ariel, Titania and Oberon, and Umbriel present three types of surfaces. The observed parameters of the brightness opposition effect for the Uranian satellites, some ice satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, and the E-and S-type asteroids are analyzed and compared within the framework of the coherent backscattering and mutual shadowing mechanisms. 相似文献

The Interstellar Heliopause Probe: Heliospheric Boundary Explorer Mission to the Interstellar Medium
The Sun, driving a supersonic solar wind, cuts out of the local interstellar medium a giant plasma bubble, the heliosphere. ESA, jointly with NASA, has had an important role in the development of our current understanding of the Suns’ immediate neighborhood. Ulysses is the only spacecraft exploring the third, out-of-ecliptic dimension, while SOHO has allowed us to better understand the influence of the Sun and to image the glow of interstellar matter in the heliosphere. Voyager 1 has recently encountered the innermost boundary of this plasma bubble, the termination shock, and is returning exciting yet puzzling data of this remote region. The next logical step is to leave the heliosphere and to thereby map out in unprecedented detail the structure of the outer heliosphere and its boundaries, the termination shock, the heliosheath, the heliopause, and, after leaving the heliosphere, to discover the true nature of the hydrogen wall, the bow shock, and the local interstellar medium beyond. This will greatly advance our understanding of the heliosphere that is the best-known example for astrospheres as found around other stars. Thus, IHP/HEX will allow us to discover, explore, and understand fundamental astrophysical processes in the largest accessible plasma laboratory, the heliosphere. 相似文献

We analyze the conditions for the formation and time evolution of peripheral comet structures of solar-type planetary systems. In the Solar system, these include the Kuiper belt, the Oort cloud, the comet spear, and the Galactic comet ring that marks the Galactic orbit of the Sun. We consider the role of the viscosity of a protoplanetary gas–dust disk, major planets, field stars, globular clusters, giant molecular clouds, and the Galactic gravitational field in the formation of these peripheral structures marked by comets and asteroids. We give a list of the closest past and future passages of neighboring stars through the solar Oort cloud that perturb the motion of its comets and, thus, contribute to the enhancement of its cometary activity, on the one hand, and to the replenishment of the solar comet spear with new members, on the other hand. 相似文献

A list of volatile nitriles, not yet detected in the atmosphere of Titan, but likely to be present in this environment, has been selected: acetonitrile, propionitrile, acrylonitrile, crotononitrile, allyl cyanide, methacrylonitrile, and cyanopropyne. The spectra of these compounds in the gas phase have been systematically studied, in the mid- and far-infrared ranges. For each selected nitrile, the most intense vibration bands have been determined. Their strengths have been characterized by estimating the monochromatic absorption coefficient at the maximum(s) of the bands, and the integrated absorbance over the entire band. Then, in order to estimate the detectability of the selected compounds by infrared spectroscopy in the atmosphere of Titan, the data obtained have been extrapolated to the case of Titan. 相似文献

The environment, such as an accretion disk, could modify the signal of the gravitational wave from astrophysical black hole binaries. In this article, we model the matter field around intermediatemass binary black holes by means of an axion-like scalar field and investigate their joint evolution. In detail, we consider equal mass binary black holes surrounded by a shell of axion-like scalar field both in spherically symmetric and non-spherically symmetric cases, and with different strengths of the scalar field. Our result shows that the environmental scalar field could essentially modify the dynamics. Firstly,in the spherically symmetric case, with increase of the scalar field strength, the number of circular orbits for the binary black hole is reduced. This means that the scalar field could significantly accelerate the merger process. Secondly, once the scalar field strength exceeds a certain critical value, the scalar field could collapse into a third black hole with its mass being larger than that of the binary. Consequently,the new black hole that collapses from the environmental scalar field could accrete the binary promptly and the binary collides head-on with each other. In this process, there is almost no quadrupole signal produced, and, consequently, the gravitational wave is greatly suppressed. Thirdly, when the scalar field strength is relatively smaller than the critical value, the black hole orbit could develop eccentricity through accretion of the scalar field. Fourthly, during the initial stage of the inspiral, the gravitational attractive force from the axion-like scalar field could induce a sudden turn in the binary orbits, hence resulting in a transient wiggle in the gravitational waveform. Finally, in the non-spherical case, the scalar field could gravitationally attract the binary moving toward the center of mass for the scalar field and slow down the merger process. 相似文献

Results are reported from studies of a subsample of white dwarfs in the second part of the FBS survey. Of the 217 WD identified
in the FBS, most are DA dwarfs, but the subclasses DO, DOB, DB, DAB, DAZ, DZ, and DC are also encountered. Multiwavelength
studies are conducted on the sample from the FBS survey: of the 217 white dwarfs, 178 coincide with 2MASS sources, GALEX (ultraviolet)
data exist for 155, 23 are ROSAT x-ray sources, and SDSS data with stellar magnitudes in five photometric bands, u, g, r,
i, and z, are available for 120. The WD sample from the FBS survey is compared with similar surveys (PG and SDSS). Average
B and R magnitudes, as well as an average value of the length of the low dispersion spectra of white dwarfs from the DFBS
are also given. 相似文献

The propagation of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves and resonance phenomena in the Earth atmosphere has been extensively studied, in relation with ionospheric dynamics, and thunderstorm and lightning activities. A similar investigation can be performed for any other planet and satellite environment, provided this body is wrapped into an ionosphere. There are, however, important differences between Earth and other bodies, regarding the surface conductivity, the atmospheric electron density, the ionospheric cavity geometry, and the sources of electromagnetic energy. In a first approximation, the size of the cavity defines the range of the resonance frequency; the electron density profile, up to the upper atmospheric boundary, controls the wave attenuation; the nature of the electromagnetic sources influences the field distribution in the cavity; and the body surface conductivity, which gives the reflection and transmission coefficients, indicates to what extent the subsurface can be explored. The knowledge of the frequencies and attenuation rates of the principal eigenmodes provides unique information about the electric properties of the cavity. Instruments capable of monitoring the electromagnetic environment in the ELF range are, therefore, valuable payload elements on balloons, descent probes and landers. We develop models for selected inner planets, gaseous giants and their satellites, and review the propagation process of ELF electromagnetic waves in their atmospheric cavities, with a particular emphasis on the application of the Schumann resonance observation to subsurface studies. The instrumentation suitable for monitoring the electromagnetic environment in geophysical cavities is briefly addressed. 相似文献

In our previous papers, we showed that at the final phases of the dynamical evolution of an open cluster, an extended population of stars elongated along its Galactic orbit, the stellar tail of the cluster, is formed. The tail stars that escaped from the cluster at different times move in a common orbit with low relative velocities. Experiencing a weak interaction with Galactic field stars, these objects, the relics of open clusters, can exist for a fairly long time. In this paper, we investigate the structures of such stellar tails in the nearest open clusters: Hyades, Pleiades, Praesepe, Alpha Persei, Coma, IC 2391, and IC 2602. To this end, we performed several numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution of these clusters in the tidal field of the Galaxy. Our computations of the dynamical evolution were based on known cluster age estimates and real Galactic orbits. The initial conditions were chosen in such a way that the parameters of the simulated clusters corresponded to their observed parameters. As a result, we obtained models of the stellar tails for the nearest open clusters and estimated such parameters of the tails as their sizes, densities, locations relative to the solar neighborhood, and others. 相似文献

We studied the predictability of the 10.7 cm solar radio flux by using stationary and non-stationary time-series analysis techniques of fractal theory to find the correlation exponent, the spectral exponent, the Hurst exponent, and the fluctuation exponent of the time series. The Hurst exponent was determined, from which the fractal dimension and consequently the predictability was evaluated. The results suggest that stationary methods of analysis yield inconsistent result, that is, amongst the four techniques used, the values of the exponents show great disparity. While two of the techniques, namely the auto-correlation function analysis and the spectral analysis, indicate long-term positive correlation, the other two methods, specifically the Hurst rescaled range-analysis and the fluctuation analysis, clearly exhibit the anti-correlated nature of the time series. The two non-stationary methods, that is, the discrete wavelet transform and the centered moving-average analysis, yielded values of the Hurst exponent that are indicative of positive correlation, of persistent behavior, and also showed that the time series is predictable to a certain extent. 相似文献

Abstract— In order to assess weathering effects, sixteen elements were determined by neutron activation in the surficial layer and the interior of the extensively weathered Bayard L5 chondrite. Na, As, Sb, La and Sm show enrichment in the surface; for these elements soil concentrations are greater than in the meteorite. Elements showing no significant differences between surface and interior are Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Se, Eu, Yb, Ir and Au; with the exception of Eu and Yb, soil concentrations were lower than those in the chondrite. Concentrations of Fe, Ni and Co, and to some extent Na, are lower than the mean of the L-chondrite values probably due to oxidation and leaching from the chondrite. The data support an L classification for the Bayard chondrite. 相似文献

The elements Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, (V), Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni have been determined in 19 Yamato meteorites by spark source mass spectrometry. For comparison the chondrites Allan Hills 7603, Mt Baldr (b) and Holbrook and the achondrites Johnstown, Pasamonte and Stannern also have been analyzed by the same method. By virtue of their chemical composition the Yamato meteorites 74002 and 74144 prove to be ordinary chondrites of type L; 74001, 74103, 74155 and 74156 are ordinary chondrites of type H; 74662 is a carbonaceous chondrite; Yamato 74010, 74011, 74016, 74037, 74097, 74125 and 74136 are diogenites; Yamato 7308(1) is a howardite; and Yamato 74450 is a eucrite. This agrees with earlier classifications based on petrological and mineralogical arguments (Nagata, 1978; Motylewski, 1978). For the chondrites Yamato 74002, 74106, 74144 and the diogenite 74125, however, no previous classifications could be found in the literature. In a Mg-Al diagram the eucrites, the howardites, the diogenites and the ureilites fall into characteristic fields. This enabled not only the classification of the Yamato achondrites investigated in this paper but also confirmed the previous identification of Yamato 74123 as a ureilite (Hintenberger et al., 1978). A very high chromium content is characteristic of some Yamato diogenites, especially Yamato 74037 (3.4%). Chromium and vanadium are positively correlated in the achondrites investigated. 相似文献

Antarctica provides a unique environment for astronomers to practice their trade. The cold, dry and stable air found above
the high Antarctic plateau, as well as the pure ice below, offers new opportunities for the conduct of observational astronomy
across both the photon and the particle spectrum. The summits of the Antarctic plateau provide the best seeing conditions,
the darkest skies and the most transparent atmosphere of any earth-based observing site. Astronomical activities are now underway
at four plateau sites: the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Concordia Station at Dome C, Kunlun Station at Dome A and Fuji
Station at Dome F, in addition to long duration ballooning from the coastal station of McMurdo, at stations run by the USA,
France/Italy, China, Japan and the USA, respectively. The astronomy conducted from Antarctica includes optical, infrared,
terahertz and sub-millimetre astronomy, measurements of cosmic microwave background anisotropies, solar astronomy, as well
as high energy astrophysics involving the measurement of cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrinos. Antarctica is also the richest
source of meteorites on our planet. An extensive range of site testing measurements have been made over the high plateau sites.
In this article, we summarise the facets of Antarctica that are driving developments in astronomy there, and review the results
of the site testing experiments undertaken to quantify those characteristics of the Antarctic plateau relevant for astronomical
observation. We also outline the historical development of the astronomy on the continent, and then review the principal scientific
results to have emerged over the past three decades of activity in the discipline. These range from determination of the dominant
frequencies of the 5 min solar oscillation in 1979 to the highest angular scale measurements yet made of the power spectrum
of the CMBR anisotropies in 2010. They span through infrared views of the galactic ecology in star formation complexes in
1999, the first clear demonstration that the Universe was flat in 2000, the first detection of polarization in the CMBR in
2002, the mapping of the warm molecular gas across the ~ 300 pc extent of the Central Molecular Zone of our Galaxy in 2003,
the measurement of cosmic neutrinos in 2005, and imaging of the thermal Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect in galaxy clusters in 2008.
This review also discusses how science is conducted in Antarctica, and in particular the difficulties, as well as the advantages,
faced by astronomers seeking to bring their experiments there. It also reviews some of the political issues that will be encountered,
both at national and international level. Finally, the review discusses where Antarctic astronomy may be heading in the coming
decade, in particular plans for infrared and terahertz astronomy, including the new facilities being considered for these
wavebands at the high plateau stations. 相似文献

Natural, low-frequency, hydromagnetic oscillations of an isolated, nonrotating neutron star, which are localized in the peripheral
crust, the structure of which is determined by the electron-nuclear plasma (the Ae phase), are studied. The plasma medium
of the outer crust is treated as a homogeneous, infinitely conducting, incompressible continuum, the motions of which are
determined by the equations of magnetohydrodynamics. In the approximation of a constant magnetic field inside the crust (the
magnetic field outside the star is assumed to have a dipole structure), the spectrum of normal poloidal and toroidal hydromagnetic
oscillations, due to presumed residual fluctuations of flow and their associated fluctuations in magnetic field strength,
is calculated. Numerical estimates given for the periods of MHD oscillations fall in the range of periods of radio pulsar
emission, indicating a close connection between the residual hydromagnetic oscillations and the electromagnetic activity of
neutron stars.
