A detailed computation on the equilibrium structure of an accretion disk around Saturn from which the regular satellites presumably originated is reported. Such a disk is the predecessor of the self-dissipating disk that is formed when the mass infall stops (Cassen and Moosman, 1981, Icarus48, 353–376). When determining the disk structure local energy balance was assumed. Convention was taken into account by introducing local energy dissipation and, in an approximate manner, sonic convection. Changes in the disk structure were investigated by varying the free parameters, i.e., the external flux from both the protosun and the protoplanet, the abundance of dust and the strength of turbulence. It has been verified that the external energy flux does not play an important role in the evolution of the disk structure. Models characterized by either longer times (?3 103 year) or a noticeable depletion of condensable elements (10?2 times less than the solar value) have a total mass of the order of 0.34?0.1 times the mass of the regular satellites increased by the mass of the light elements. Low turbulence models (Reynolds critical number Re1 = 150) are characterized approximately by a total mass twice as large the mass of the regular satellites. All the studied models present a temperature distribution that allows the condensation of iron, silicate, and, in the outer regions, ice grains. All models but the one with 10?2 of the solar value of condensable elements are characterized by a wide convective region that contains the formation zone of the regular satellites.  相似文献

The sudden eccentricity increases discovered by J. Wisdom (Astron J.87, 577–593, 1982) are reproduced in numerical integrations of the planar-elliptic restricted three-body problem, verifying that this phenomenon is real. Maximum Lyapunov characteristic exponents for trajectories near the 31 commensurability are computed both with the mappings presented in Wisdom (1982) and by numerical integration of the planar-elliptic problem. In all cases the agreement is excellent, indicating that the mappings accurately reflect whether trajectories are chaotic or quasiperiodic. The mappings are used to trace out the chaotic zone near the 31 commensurability, both in the planar-elliptic problem and to a more limited extent in the three-dimensional elliptic problem. The outer boundary of the chaotic zone coincides with the boundary of the 31 Kirkwood gap in the actual distribution of asteroids within the errors of the asteroid orbital elements.  相似文献

The theory of torsional hydromagnetic oscillations of the magnetosphere is usually cast in terms of orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. For a general magnetic field B with potential Ω it is shown that no coordinates exist in which a suitable solution may be found unless the Alfvén velocity VA, together with B and Ω satisfy certain functional relationships. In the case VA = constant, for example we must have
(B · ?)B = function of B and Ω only
. The relationships presented are in fact satisfied by all the magnetic fields considered to date.  相似文献

As part of a continuing series of experiments on the production of dark reddish organic solids, called tholins, by irradiation of cosmically abundant reducing gases, the synthesis from a simulated Titanian atmosphere of a tholin with a visible reflection spectrum similar to that of the high altitude aerosols responsible for the albedo and reddish color of Titan has been reported Sagan and Khare, 1981, Sagan and Khare, 1982, Orig. Life. 12, 280) and [C. Sagan, B. N. Khare, and J. Lewis, in press. In Saturn (M. S. Matthews and T. Gehrels, Eds.), Univ. of Arizona Press, Tucson]. The determination of the real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex refractive index of thin films of such tholin prepared by continuous D.C. discharge through a 0.9 N2/0.1 CH4 gas mixture at 0.2 mb are reported. For 250 A? ≤ γ ≤ 1000 μm, n and k have been determined from a combination of transmittance, specular reflectance, interferometric, Brewster angle, and ellipsometric polarization measurements; experimental uncertainties in n are estimated to be ±0.5, and in k ± 30%. Values of n(?1.65) and k (?0.004 to 0.08) in the visible range are consistent with deductions made by ground-based and spacecraft observations of Titan. Maximum values of k (?0.8) are near 1000 Å, and minimum values (?4 × 10?4) are near 1.5 μm. Many infrared absorption features are present in k(γ), including the 4.6-μm nitrile band.  相似文献

The motion of charged particles is examined in the case of a homogeneous magnetic field B together with an orthogonal electric field E, which has a gradient ▽E parallel to E. If
B2q2m2 ? q▽Em > 0
, the particles drift at right angles to E and B with a modified gyrofrequency and produce a current in that direction. If
B2q2m2 ? q▽Em < 0
, the particles not only drift in the direction of E × B but are also accelerated in the direction of E, in which direction they also produce a current.  相似文献

The change of energy of a collisionless, two-fluid plasma consists of the adiabatic gain or loss of energy, which is due to the work done by the electromagnetic forces, and of the non-adiabatic change associated with the presence of the “rest” field E1 = E + (1c)V×B. The non-adiabatic gain or loss of energy per unit ti may be expressed by the relation
Q=E·i+ceNB2f?×f
where i is the density of conductive current, N the ion number-density, and f (f?) the sum of inertia and pressure divergence of ions (electrons). Symbols of parallelism refer to the direction of B.A special case of non-adiabatic energization of a slowly convecting plasma sheet plasma is discussed in some detail. Regardless of the value of V, the non-adiabatic energization may significantly exceed any conceivable energization associated with the electric field ?(1c) V × B.  相似文献

When a satellite orbit decaying slowly under the action of air drag experiences 15th-order resonance with the Earth's gravitational field, so that the ground track repeats after 15 rev, the orbital eccentricity may suffer appreciable changes due to perturbations from the gravitational harmonics of order 15 and even degree (16, 18, 20…). In this paper the changes in eccentricity at resonance for six satellites in near-circular orbits at inclinations between 56 and 90° have been analysed to derive 11 pairs of equations linking the harmonic coefficients of order 15 and (even) degree l, Cl,15andSl,15 in the usual notation. These equations (together with eight constraint equations) are solved to give:

Hyperion is an irregularly shaped object of about 285 km in mean diameter, which appears as the likely remmant of a catastrophic collisional evolution. Since the peculiar orbit of this satellite (in 43 resonance locking with Titan) provides an effective mechanism to prevent any reaccretion of secondary fragments originated in a breakup event, the present Hyperion is probably the “core” of a disrupted precursor. This contrasts with the other, regularly shaped small satellites of Saturn, which, according to B.A. Smith et al. [Science215, 504–537 (1982)], were disrupted several times but could reaccrete from narrow rings of collisional fragments. The numerical experiments performed to explore the region of the phase space surrounding the present orbit show that most fragments ejected with a relative velocity ?0.1 km/sec rapidly attain chaotic-type orbits, having repeated close encounters with Titan. Ejection velocities of this order of magnitude are indeed expected for a collision at a velocity of ~ 10 km/sec with a projectile-to-target mass ratio of the order of 10?3; similar effects could be produced by less energetic but nearly grazing collisions. Such events are not likely to displace the largest remnant (i.e., the present Hyperion) outside the stable region of the phase space associated with the resonance, but could be responsible for the large amplitude of the observed orbital libration.  相似文献

The Earth's gravitational potential is now usually expressed in terms of a double series of tesseral harmonics with several hundred terms, up to order and degree at least 20. The harmonics of order 14 can be evaluated by analysing changes in satellite orbits which experience 14th-order resonance, when the track over the Earth repeats after 14 revolutions.In this paper we describe our first evaluation of individual 14th-order coefficients in the geopotential from analysis of the variations in inclination and eccentricity of satellite orbits passing through 14th-order resonance under the action of air drag. Using results from eleven satellites, we find the following values for normalized coefficients of harmonics of order 14 and degree l, C?l, 14 and S?l, 14, for l=14, 154. 22:

A three-dimensional numerical model was developed with the goal of studying limited dynamical problems relevant to the latest stage of planet growth in the accretion theory. A small number of large protoplanets (~ Moon size) of different masses, moving around the Sun, are considered. The dynamical evolution and growth of the population is studied under mutual gravitational perturbations, accretion, and collisional fragmentation processes. Gravitational encounters are treated exactly by numerical integration of the N-body problem. Outcomes of collisional fragmentation are modeled according to the results of R. Greenberg et al. (1978, Icarus, 35, 1–26). In the present work, we consider 25 protoplanets with uniform mass distribution in the range 2 × 1025?4 × 1026 g on heliocentric orbits in the Earth zone. These bodies are initially confined to a small volume of space to permit gravitational perturbations by close approaches and collisions within a finite length of integration time. The dynamical evolution of the swarm is followed for four different sets of initial ranges in semimajor axis, eccentricity, and inclination: Δa=0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08 AU; Δe= 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04; Δi=0°3, 0°6, 1°2, 2°4. Among other results, it is found that average eccentricities and inclinations evolve toward a steady state such that i ? 12, e; it is also found that, whatever the initial conditions, the population evolves toward a quasi-equilibrium relative velocity distribution corresponding to a Safronov parameter value θ?10. Moreover, the growth process of the growing planet presents very similar behavior in the four cases considered, except for the time scale of evolution, which increases with the initial range of orbital elements. Earlier works of this kind have been presented by L.P. Cox and J.S. Lewis (1980, Icarus, 44, 706–721) and by G.N. Wetherill (1980b, In Geol. Soc. Canad. Spec. Publ., p. 20), although a number of differences exist between the three approaches.  相似文献

New JHK photometry and spectrometry (1.4–2.6 μm) are presented for Enceladus, Hyperion, Phoebe, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. From spectral signatures, mainly in the 2-μm region, water ice is verified on Enceladus and identified on Hyperion and the three Uranian satellites. The JHK photometry shows that Phoebe is different from all other satellites and asteroids observed thus far. The new photometry corroborates the earlier conclusion by Cruikshank et al. (1977) Astrophys. J217, 1006–1010] that the Uranian satellites, as a class, have overall surface reflectances different from other water-ice-covered satellites, and the reason for the difference remains unclear. The diameters and the masses of the Uranian satellites are reviewed in light of the probable high albedo representative of ice-covered surfaces and the new dynamical studies by Greenberg, 1975, Greenberg, 1976, Greenberg, 1978.  相似文献

The Galilean satellites Io, Europa, and Ganymede interact through several stable orbital resonances where λ1 ? 2λ2 + ω1 = 0, λ1 ? 2λ2 + ω2 = 180°, λ2 ? 2λ3 + ω2 = 0 and λ1 ? 3λ2 + 2λ3 = 180°, with λi being the mean longitude of the ith satellite and ωi the longitude of the pericenter. The last relation involving all three bodies is known as the Laplace relation. A theory of origin and subsequent evolution of these resonances outlined earlier (C. F. Yoder, 1979b, Nature279, 747–770) is described in detail. From an initially quasi-random distribution of the orbits the resonances are assembled through differential tidal expansion of the orbits. Io is driven out most rapidly and the first two resonance variables above are captured into libration about 0 and 180° respectively with unit probability. The orbits of Io and Europa expand together maintaining the 2:1 orbital commensurability and Europa's mean angular velocity approaches a value which is twice that of Ganymede. The third resonance variable and simultaneously the Laplace angle are captured into libration with probability ~0.9. The tidal dissipation in Io is vital for the rapid damping of the libration amplitudes and for the establishment of a quasi-stationary orbital configuration. Here the eccentricity of Io's orbit is determined by a balance between the effects of tidal dissipation in Io and that in Jupiter, and its measured value leads to the relation k1?1/Q1 ≈ 900kJ/QJ with the k's being Love numbers, the Q's dissipation factors, and f a factor to account for a molten core in Io. This relation and an upper bound on Q1 deduced from Io's observed thermal activity establishes the bounds 6 × 104 < QJ < 2 × 106, where the lower bound follows from the limited expansion of the satellite orbits. The damping time for the Laplace libration and therefore a minimum lifetime of the resonance is 1600 QJ years. Passage of the system through nearby three-body resonances excites free eccentricities. The remnant free eccentricity of Europa leads to the relation Q2/?2 ? 2 × 10?4 QJ for rigidity μ2 = 5 × 1011 dynes/cm2. Probable capture into any of several stable 3:1 two-body resonances implies that the ratio of the orbital mean motions of any adjacent pair of satellites was never this large.A generalized Hamiltonian theory of the resonances in which third-order terms in eccentricity are retained is developed to evaluate the hypothesis that the resonances were of primordial origin. The Laplace relation is unstable for values of Io's eccentricity e1 > 0.012 showing that the theory which retains only the linear terms in e1 is not valid for values of e1 larger than about twice the current value. Processes by which the resonances can be established at the time of satellite formation are undefined, but even if primordial formation is conjectured, the bounds established above for QJ cannot be relaxed. Electromagnetic torques on Io are also not sufficient to relax the bounds on QJ. Some ideas on processes for the dissipation of ideal energy in Jupiter yield values of QJ within the dynamical bounds, but no theory has produced a QJ small enough to be compatible with the measurements of heat flow from Io given the above relation between Q1 and QJ. Tentative observational bounds on the secular acceleration of Io's mean motion are also shown not to be consistent with such low values of QJ. Io's heat flow may therefore be episodic. QJ may actually be determined from improved analysis of 300 years of eclipse data.  相似文献
