A topographic model of Amalthea (JV) was derived from the shapes of limbs and terminators in Voyager images, modified locally to accommodate large craters and ridges. The model is presented in tabular and graphic form, including the first detailed shaded relief maps of the satellite. The shape is very irregular, with radii varying between about 53 and 151 ± 5 km. The minimum value occurs in a deep crater at the south pole. The volume is estimated to be 2.5 ± 0.5 × 106km3. A prominent groove or valley extends some 150 km across the trailing side. High albedo, spectrally distinct markings are mapped and found to have a less obvious relationship with relief than previously suggested.  相似文献

Using magnetic data from the geostationary satellites of ATS 6 and SMS/GOES series, long-period geomagnetic pulsations, Psc 4 and Psc 5, associated with geomagnetic sudden commencements (SC's) were statistically analyzed. Local time and geomagnetic latitude dependence of the occurrence, and local time dependence of the period and the amplitude were examined for 218 SC's. For transverse Psc 5 pulsations which could be observed at all local times, the period was shorter and the amplitude was smaller near noon than in the morning and evening sides. Compressional Psc 5's, which were observed mainly from about 09.00 L.T. to midnight, had larger amplitude near noon. The period seemed to be longer near noon. As for Psc 4 pulsations the period tended to be shorter near noon. Psc 4's with the largest amplitude appeared near noon, but on the whole Psc 4's in the evening side had larger amplitude. The compressional Psc occurred more frequently near the geomagnetic equator (geomagnetic latitude φm≌ 5°N) than at higher latitude (φm≌ 9° ~ 12°N). We suggest that the transverse Psc 5 pulsations can be considered to be magnetic field-line resonant oscillations excited by impulsive waves, while the compressional Psc 5's may be oscillations localized near the geomagnetic equator.  相似文献

Abstract— Reflectance spectra of splits 92 and 271 from the Martian meteorite Allan Hills (ALH) 84001 are presented and analyzed in this paper. Although the visible and infrared spectra of both chips show that the dominant mineralogy is low-Ca pyroxene, the focus here is on identification of the minor constituents. Infrared spectra measured at multiple spots along the surface of chips 92 and 271 show subtle spectroscopic variations due to changes in the low-Ca pyroxene texture and composition and to the presence of secondary minerals. Absorption bands observed near 0.93 and 1.95 μm are characteristic of low-Ca pyroxene. Strong mid-infrared reststrahlen bands are observed near 9 and 19.5 μm in all surface spectra, and additional bands near 7, 10.5, 11.4, 17.8, 20.5 and 23 μm are variable depending on the low-Ca pyroxene texture and the presence of secondary minerals. Selected spectra exhibit carbonate features near 4, 6.4–7.1 and 11.3 μm. Detailed analysis of these carbonate features indicates the presence of Mg-Fe carbonate, which is consistent with petrographic studies. Many of these spectra with strong carbonate features exhibit a magnetite feature near 17.9 μm and a shoulder near 20.5 μm that cannot be uniquely ascribed to one mineral. Spectroscopic identification of the minor carbonate and magnetite minerals in this probable piece of Mars indicates that detection of small amounts of these minerals of possible biological significance will be possible using infrared hyperspectral analyses of the Martian surface. Also of importance for remote sensing on Mars is the result that Mg, Fe and Mg-Fe carbonates in a low-Ca pyroxene matrix should be distinguishable from one another in the spectral region measured by the thermal emmitance spectrometer (TES).  相似文献

VLF whistler-mode signals transmitted from NLK in Seattle and received at Wellington, New Zealand, were found to travel mainly along magnetic field lines near Wellington (L ~ 2.3) rather than those near Seattle (L ~ 3.0). This is found to be explicable in terms of the expected attenuation for the subionospheric part of the path together with the guiding to be expected from likely duct enhancements.  相似文献

In asteroid rendezvous missions, the dynamical environment near an asteroid's surface should be made clear prior to launch of the mission. However, most asteroids have irregular shapes,which lower the efficiency of calculating their gravitational field by adopting the traditional polyhedral method. In this work, we propose a method to partition the space near an asteroid adaptively along three spherical coordinates and use Chebyshev polynomial interpolation to represent the gravitational acceleration in each cell. Moreover, we compare four different interpolation schemes to obtain the best precision with identical initial parameters. An error-adaptive octree division is combined to improve the interpolation precision near the surface. As an example, we take the typical irregularly-shaped nearEarth asteroid 4179 Toutatis to demonstrate the advantage of this method; as a result, we show that the efficiency can be increased by hundreds to thousands of times with our method. Our results indicate that this method can be applicable to other irregularly-shaped asteroids and can greatly improve the evaluation efficiency.  相似文献

Using the visible airglow photometer on the Atmosphere Explorer-C satellite, we have mapped the zodiacal light surface brightness at the wavelengths monitored by the instrument: 3371, 4278, 5200, 5577, 6300, and 7319 Å. The study constitutes a survey over this wavelength range, covering most of the celestial sphere, from altitudes above the atmospheric emissions, and free from atmospheric scattering and attenuation. The intensity variations reveal enhancements near elongations of 130°, and possibly near 60°, at all wavelengths. The intensity of the zodiacal light near the ecliptic pole is found to be ~30 S10. The color ratio with respect to the Sun is found to be redder than the Sun (0.7) at all elongations.  相似文献

We developed kinetic theory for the charging processes of small dust grains near the lunar surface due to interaction with the anisotropic solar wind plasma. Once charged, these dust grains, which are exposed to the electric field in the sheath region near the lunar surface, could loft and distribute around such heights off the surface where they reach equilibrium with the local gravitational force. Analytical solutions were derived for the charging time, grain floating potential, and grain charge, characterizing the charging processes of small dust grains in a two-component and in a multi-component solar wind plasma, and further highlighting the unique features presented by the high streaming plasma velocity. We have also formulated a novel kinetic theory of sheath formation around an absorbing planar surface immersed in the anisotropic solar wind plasma in the case of a negligible photoelectric effect and presented solutions for the sheath structure. In this study we combined the results from these analyses and provided estimates for the size distribution function of dust that is expected to be lofted in regions dominated by the solar wind plasma, such as near the terminator and in nearby shadowed craters. Corresponding to the two dominant streaming velocity peaks of 300 and 800 km/s, mean dust diameters of 500 and 350 nm, respectively, are expected to be found at equilibrium at heights of relevance to exploration operations, e.g., around 1.5 m height off the lunar surface. In shadowed craters near the terminator region, where isotropic plasma should be dominating, we estimate mean lofted dust diameter of 800 nm around the same 1.5 m height off the lunar surface. The generally applicable solutions could be used to readily calculate the expected lofted size distribution near the lunar surface as a function of plasma parameters, dust grain composition, and other parameters of interest.  相似文献

Absorption coefficients associated with atomic motions of species expected in astronomical environments are determined from infrared measurements of various hydrosilicates, hydrated magnesium oxide, and the Al-bearing chain silicate, sapphirine. Band types measured include O–H stretching modes near 3 μm, Si–O stretching motions near 10 μm, Si–O–Si bends near 14 μm, O–Si–O bends near 20 μm, and translations of cations such as Mg and Ca near 50–200 μm. We obtain data from films of varying thickness and use a ratioing method. First, bandstrengths of O–H fundamentals were determined from spectra obtained from films of controlled thicknesses, generally 6 μm. The O–H absorbance strength was then used to accurately determine thickness for a thinner film of each mineral (found to be  <1 μm  ), thus providing bandstrengths of all other absorptions. Thin films were prepared such that the fundamental lattice modes showed intrinsic behaviour (i.e. band shapes were unchanged upon further thinning) and O–H modes are well resolved above the spectral noise. Bandstrengths were found to depend weakly on structure and should be applicable to other silicate minerals, allowing estimation of elemental concentrations independent of knowing the speciation of dust in astronomical environments. Comparison with observational data of NGC 6302 suggests that lizardite and saponite could be present in addition to refractory minerals.  相似文献

The GRIS     
The GRIS is a prism cross-dispersed spectrometer utilizing a NICMOS 3 detector array for moderate and high dispersion spectroscopy in the near infrared spectral region. The spectrometer is cryogenically cooled with liquid nitrogen and operates on the 2.3 m Steward Observatory Telescope. Initial use proves it to be an excellent tool for near infrared astrophysics.  相似文献

Using a static massive spherically symmetric scalar field coupled to gravity in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) background, first we consider some asymptotic solutions near horizon and their local equations of state (E.O.S.) on them. We show that near cosmological and event horizons our scalar field behaves as a dust. At the next step near two pure de Sitter or Schwarzschild horizons we obtain a coupling dependent pressure to energy density ratio. In the case of a minimally coupling this ratio is ?1 which springs to the mind thermodynamical behavior of dark energy. If having a negative pressure behavior near these horizons we concluded that the coupling constant must be ξ<¼. Therefore we derive a new constraint on the value of our coupling ξ. These two different behaviors of unique matter in the distinct regions of spacetime at present era can be interpreted as a phase transition from dark matter to dark energy in the cosmic scales and construct a unified scenario.  相似文献

We have studied the morphology of magnetic flux tubes near Mars and have found that the magnetic field lines near Mars forms a wing-like flux tube structure downstream of the bow shock. These magnetic flux tubes are concentrated close to the plane, which contains the center of Mars, the interplanetary magnetic field, and the Mars-Sun line. Regions near Mars on dayside were found to be magnetically connected to the region downstream of the bow shock in the sunlight. The study suggests that the photoelectrons that were observed on the nightside far from Mars are associated with magnetic field lines which are, or which were, magnetically connected to the Martian dayside region.  相似文献

The cameras carried onboard the flyby missions to comet P/Halleyin 1986 imaged the near nuclear jet activity fromseveral spatial directions. The observed, very structured near nucleardust jets were considered at that timeas the result of dust emission from well localized active surface regions(without supporting 3-D model computations, however).Based on the first, recently developed 3-D gas dynamical model ofP/Halley's activity,we have been shown that jet features can be reproduced assuming ahomogeneous dusty icenucleus surface. The dust in the collisional near nuclear comais concentrated along the gas flow discontinuities resulting from thecomplicated surface orography, creating the visual impression ofdust jets. We present here the results of these calculations forthe near nucleus dust distributions,and we compare them with the direct observations made during thethree Halley flybys (Vega 1, Vega 2, and Giotto).  相似文献

A simple model is used to present a unified picture of the polarity pattern of the interplanetary magnetic field observed during the solar cycle. Emphasis in this paper is on the field near solar maximum. The heliographic latitude dependence of the dominant polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field is explained in terms of weak poloidal (dipolar) field sources in the sun's photosphere. Unlike the Babcock theory, the author hypothesizes that the dipolar field exists at equatorial latitudes (0–20°), too, (as well as in polar regions) and that the major source of the interplanetary magnetic field observed near the ecliptic plane is the dipolar field from equatorial latitudes. The polarity of the interplanetary field data taken in 1968 and in the first half of 1969 near solar maximum may possibly be explained in terms of a depression of the dipolar field boundary in space. The effect on the solar wind of the greater activity in the northern hemisphere of the sun that existed in 1968 and in the first half of 1969 is believed responsible for this hypothesized depression, especially near solar maximum, of the plane separating the + and - dipolar polarity below the solar equatorial plane in space. Predictions are made concerning the interplanetary field to be observed near the ecliptic plane in each portion of the next solar cycle.  相似文献

The seasonal variation of Titan's atmospheric structure with emphasis on the stratosphere is simulated by a three-dimensional general circulation model. The model includes the transport of haze particles by the circulation. The likely pattern of meridional circulation is reconstructed by a comparison of simulated and observed haze and temperature distribution. The GCM produces a weak zonal circulation with a small latitudinal temperature gradient, in conflict with observation. The direct reason is found to be the excessive meridional circulation. Under uniformly distributed opacity sources, the model predicts a pair of symmetric Hadley cells near the equinox and a single global cell with the rising branch in the summer hemisphere below about z = 230 km and a thermally indirect cell above the direct cell near the solstice. The interhemispheric circulation transports haze particles from the summer to the winter hemisphere, causing a maximum haze opacity contrast near the solstice and a smaller contrast near the equinox, contrary to observation. On the other, if the GCM is run under modified cooling rate in order to account for the enhancement in nitrites and some hydrocarbons in the northern hemisphere near the vernal equinox, the meridional cell at the equinox becomes a single cell with rising motions in the autumn hemisphere. A more realistic haze opacity distribution can be reproduced at the equinox. However, a pure transport effect (without particle growth by microphysics, etc.) would not be able to cause the observed discontinuity of the global haze opacity distribution at any location. The stratospheric temperature asymmetry can be explained by a combination of asymmetric radiative heating rates and adiabatic heating due to vertical motion within the thermally indirect cell. A seasonal variation of haze particle number density is unlikely to be responsible for this asymmetry. It is likely that a thermally indirect cell covers the upper portion of the main haze layer. An artificial damping of the meridional circulation enables the formation of high-latitude jets in the upper stratosphere and weaker equatorial superrotation. The latitudinal temperature distribution in the stratosphere is better reproduced.  相似文献

Properties of acoustic-gravity waves in the upper atmosphere of Venus are studied using a two-fluid model which includes the effects of wave-induced diffusion in a diffusively separated atmosphere. In conjunction with neutral mass spectrometer data from the Pioneer Venus orbiter, the theory should provide information on the distribution of wave sources in the Venus upper atmosphere. Observed wave structure in species density measurements should generally have periods ?30–35 min, small N2, CO, and O amplitudes, and highly variable phase shifts relative to CO2. A near resonance may exist between downward phase-propagating internal gravity and diffusion waves near the 165-km level at periods near 29 min. As a result, if very large He wave amplitudes are observed near this level, it will indicate that the wave source is below the 150- to 175-km level and that the exospheric temperature is close to 350°K. Wave energy dissipation may be an important mechanism for heating of the nightside Venus thermosphere. Large-density oscillations in stratospheric cloud layer constituents are also possible and may be detectable by the Pioneer Venus large probe neutral mass spectrometer.  相似文献

Gas penetration into twisted magnetic tubes can occur by the inward diffusion of neutral atoms in the neighbourhood of the temperature minimum between photosphere and chromosphere, where the degree of ionization is low. Again, turbulent buffeting indents tubes in the convection zone and, in particular near the photosphere, provides a larger area where the overall diffusion rate may be enhanced. These processes do not contribute rapidly to the gas content of magnetic tubes, but diffusion near the temperature minimum may well be the source of the observed downflow in magnetic points.  相似文献
