自由地核章动的时变特性   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
李金岭  郑大伟 《天文学报》1998,39(3):308-312
对VLBI观测确定的IAU1980章动模型的天极偏移序列进行分析,结果显示自由地核章动在1990年以前的幅值比其后为强,其时变强度比周年受迫章动的为大.另外,小波变换的时频谱分析结果显示在天极偏移序列中存在一幅值约0.1毫角秒的准两年周期信号.仅从目前的数据分析结果尚不足以确定此信号与顺向自由地核章动之间的关系,进一步的观测检,验和深入的内核动力学研究是非常必要的.  相似文献

In this paper, the previous nutation series corresponding to the rotation of a non‐rigid earth composed of a rigid mantle and a liquid core obtained by Getino and Ferrándiz in 1997 are notably improved by using a high performance data fitting method. This method can be applied to many other problems presenting a non‐linear dependence on the free parameters.

The possible contributions of tidal heating to lunar thermal history are investigated. Analytic determinations of tidal dissipation in a homogeneous, incompressible Moon and in a two-layer Moon with a soft core and rigid mantle are given as a function of position in the Moon and as a function of Earth-Moon separation. The most recent information on the historical values of the lunar obliquity is employed, and we present results for the constant values of orbital eccentricity of e = 0.0 and e = 0.055. For a simplified orbital evolution and a dissipation factor Q = 100, the total increase in the mean lunar temperature for the homogeneous case does not exceed several tens of degrees. For the two-layer models the local dissipation may be enhanced over that of the homogeneous Moon by a factor of 5 for a core radius of 0.5 lunar radii and by a factor of 100 for a core radius of 0.95 lunar radii. The corresponding factors for the total dissipation are 3 and 15 for the two values of core radii, respectively. We conclude that tidal contributions to lunar thermal history are probably not important. But under special circumstances the enhanced dissipation in a two-layer Moon could have led to a spectacular thermal event.  相似文献

We use particle simulations to study the motion of gas in galaxy models with mildly non-axisymmetric dark matter haloes with nearly constant density cores. In particular the effect of varying the dissipation rate is studied. We find that even very weak dissipation may cause inflow of material within the core radius towards the centre, and thus lead to the formation of a central mass concentration. Typically, a total of 108 M solar masses are accreted inside the central 100 pc in a few Gyr. This, in turn, destabilizes the trajectories in the central region. It is suggested that these processes may lead to the formation of bulge-like structures from discs, the extent of which will depend on the halo core radius and initial asymmetry. This and other possible consequences are discussed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

We study the tidal forcing, propagation and dissipation of linear inertial waves in a rotating fluid body. The intentionally simplified model involves a perfectly rigid core surrounded by a deep ocean consisting of a homogeneous incompressible fluid. Centrifugal effects are neglected, but the Coriolis force is considered in full, and dissipation occurs through viscous or frictional forces. The dissipation rate exhibits a complicated dependence on the tidal frequency and generally increases with the size of the core. In certain intervals of frequency, efficient dissipation is found to occur even for very small values of the coefficient of viscosity or friction. We discuss the results with reference to wave attractors, critical latitudes and other features of the propagation of inertial waves within the fluid, and comment on their relevance for tidal dissipation in planets and stars.  相似文献

Did tidal deformation power the core dynamo of Mars?   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Jafar Arkani-Hamed 《Icarus》2009,201(1):31-218
We first show that 7 out of the 20 giant impact basins of Mars recently reported by Frey [Frey, H., 2008. Geophys. Res. Lett. 35. L13203] trace a great circle on Mars. The other five basins trace another great circle and still the other three basins trace yet another great circle. The latter great circle is in good agreement with the pre-Tharsis equator of Mars that is estimated from modeling crustal magnetic anomalies [Arkani-Hamed, J., 2001. Geophys. Res. Lett. 28, 3409-3412] and diagonalizing the moment of inertia of Mars after removing the loading effects of Tharsis bulge [Sprenke, K.F., Baker, L.L., Williams, A.F., 2005. Icarus 174, 486-489]. It is shown in this paper that the three great circles were likely the equatorial plane of Mars at certain times and Mars experienced appreciable polar wander. The great circles also indicate that the asteroids that created the basins were satellites of Mars whose orbits decayed in time through spin-orbit coupling with tidally deforming Mars, and eventually impacted on the planet creating the giant basins at around 4 Ga. The orbital dynamics of four largest asteroids show that they could have orbited Mars for several hundred million years if they were retrograde satellites. Continual elliptical straining of otherwise circular fluid streamlines of the liquid core of Mars by tidal deformation could have exerted a strong strain that was large enough to overcome dissipation and excite the elliptical instability inside the core. We investigate the physical properties of the martian core that are required to allow the tidal deformation to power the core dynamo, i.e., the growth time of the elliptical instability to become shorter than the dissipation time. The tidal energy dissipation rate inside Mars caused by even only one of the 4 largest asteroids is found to be over two orders of magnitude greater than the magnetic energy dissipation rate in the core, indicating that if only one of the 4 largest asteroids were orbiting in retrograde sense, it would have likely powered the core dynamo of Mars for several hundred million years.  相似文献

We construct a model for the magnetic-field evolution of an isolated neutron star by assuming that its core is a type II superconductor and that the field penetrates the core in the form of magnetic lines (fluxoids). We consider the fluxoid expulsion from the core and the field dissipation in a conducting crust. The magnetic-field evolution is calculated self-consistently by taking into account the inverse effect of crustal magnetic line bending on the fluxoid velocity in the core. We consider the evolution of two magnetic configurations, in which the bulk of the magnetic flux passes through the neutron-star core and crust. The buoyancy of fluxoids and the force from the neutron vortexes are mainly responsible for their expulsion from the core in the former and latter cases, respectively.  相似文献

The Earth’s rotation is accompanied by free circadian oscillations of its liquid core in the inner cavity of the lower mantle, which perturb the angular momentum of the entire Earth and produce an additional free nutation of the celestial pole called free core nutation (FCN). Since this nutation causes resonances in the diurnal tides and in the expansions of luni—solar nutation, its study, especially an improvement of the FCN period, is of fundamental importance for the theory of the Earth’s rotation. We have determined the FCN parameters from a joint analysis of equidistant series of coordinates of the celestial pole obtained from the combined processing of VLBI observations on global networks of stations for the interval 1984.0–2008.4 by IERS (International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service, Paris, France) and NEOS (National Earth Orientation Service, Washington, USA). Applying a moving least-squares filter (MLSF) to these data has shown that the FCN period averaged over this time interval differs significantly from the theoretical one and its phase varies over a wide range. Using the mean quadratic collocation (MQC) method, we have obtained a new, more accurate stochastic FCN model. Its analysis by the envelope method has revealed long-term linear phase trends, calling into question not only the adopted FCN period but also its stability and, hence, the stability of the resonant effects in the Earth’s luni—solar nutation.  相似文献

Tidally forced viscous heating in a partially molten Io   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
M.N. Ross  G. Schubert 《Icarus》1985,64(3):391-400
We investigate tidal dissipative heating in two different models of Io. The partially molten asthenosphere model consists of a rigid inner core and a thin (less than 40 km thick) partially molten “decoupling” layer (asthenosphere) surrounded by an elastic lithosphere. In the partially molten interior model the interior beneath the lithosphere is partially molten throughout. The partially molten region in each model assumed to possess negligible shear strength and to be characterized by a Newtonian viscosity. Tidal deformation and dissipation in the core of the thin asthenosphere model are assumed negligible. Fluid in the viscous layers is forced to circulate by the tidal distortion of the outer shell, modeled here as a sinusoidal variation with time of the distortion amplitude. As a result, heat is generated in the fluid by viscous dissipation. There are two heating mechanisms in our models: “elastic” dissipation in the lithosphere ∞ 1/Q and viscous dissipation in the partially molten region. Numerical calculatons are carried out for a 90-km-thick lithosphere with Q = 100. This thickness maximizes dissipation in a decoupled lithosphere; other reasonable values of lithosphere thickness do not alter our conclusions. Under the constraint that total dissipation equals the observed radiated heat loss we derived the iscosity of the partially molten region in each model. We a posteriori evaluate the assumption that the lithosphere is decoupled from the interior by calculating the distortion of an elastic shell due to the viscous stresses on the lower surface of the outr shell. If the interior viscosity is such that the total dissipation is equal to the observed heat flux from Io, viscous stresses produce negligible distortion of a 90-km-thick shell. This validates the assumption of a decoupled shell. The derived viscosity for both models is characteristic of a partially molten rock. In the thin asthenosphere model the derived viscosity is so low that a very high degree of partial melt is necessary, about 40% crystal fraction in a 400-km-thick asthenosphere and about 0% in a 1-km-thick asthenosphere. In the partially molten interior model the derived viscosity corresponds to a magma with about 60% crystals. Consideration of convective efficiencies demonstrates the plausibility of a stable thermal steady state for both models. A significant portion (75% for Q = 100) of Io's tidal heating can be the result of viscous dissipation in a partially molten region that decouples the outer shell from the interior. The partially molten layer can be considered a “global magma ocean”.  相似文献

Precise astrometric observations show that significant systematic differences of the order of 10 milliarcseconds (mas) exist between the observed position of the celestial pole in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the position determined using the International Astronomical Union (IAU) 1976 Precession (Lieske et al., 1977) and the IAU 1980 Nutation Theory (Seidelmann, 1982). The International Earth Rotation Service routinely publishes these 'celestial pole offsets', and the IERS Conventions (McCarthy, 1996) recommends a procedure to account for these errors. The IAU, at its General Assembly in 2000, adopted a new precession/nutation model (Mathews et al., 2002). This model, designated IAU2000A, which includes nearly 1400 terms, provides the direction of the celestial pole in the ICRF with an accuracy of ±0.1 mas. Users requiring accuracy no better than 1 mas, however, may not require the full model, particularly if computational time or storage are issues. Consequently, the IAU also adopted an abridged procedure designated IAU2000B to model the celestial pole motion with an accuracy that does not result in a difference greater than 1 mas with respect to that of the IAU2000A model. That IAU2000B model, presented here, is shown to have the required accuracy for a period of more than 50 years from 1995 to 2050.  相似文献

In this article an approximate analytical integration is performed of the Hamiltonian corresponding to the rotational motion of an Earth whose elastic mantle is deformed by rotation and lunisolar attraction, using Deprit's perturbation method for the first order. Besides the usual terms, this Hamiltonian includes the perturbation of the kinetic energy and the elastic energy produced with the deformation, as well as their causes, the tidal and the centrifugal potential; these new terms have already been studied for the tidal deformation in previous articles (Getino and Ferrándiz, 1990a, 1990b). The effects of the deformation due to the centrifugal potential are studied in this article, following the same method as that used for the tidal deformation. Numerical tables of the periodic perturbations corresponding to the nutation in obliquity and longitude are obtained. As for the secular effects, a theoretical value of 457 days is obtained for Chandler's period.  相似文献

Tidal dissipation has been suggested as the heat source for the south polar thermal anomaly on Enceladus. We find that under present-day conditions and assuming Maxwellian behavior, tidal dissipation is negligible in the silicate core. Dissipation may be significant in the ice shell if the shell is decoupled from the silicate core by a subsurface ocean. We have run a series of self-consistent convection and conduction models in 2D axisymmetric and 3D spherical geometry in which we include the spatially-variable tidal heat production. We find that in all cases, the shell removes more heat from the interior than can be produced in the core by radioactive decay, resulting in cooling of the interior and the freezing of any ocean. Under likely conditions, a 40-km thick ocean made of pure water would freeze solid on a ∼30 Ma timescale. An ocean containing other chemical components will have a lower freezing point, but even a water-ammonia eutectic composition will only prolong the freezing, not prevent it. If the eccentricity of Enceladus were higher (e?0.015) in the past, the increased dissipation in the ice shell may have been sufficient to maintain a liquid layer. We cannot therefore rule out the presence of a transient ocean, as a relic of an earlier era of greater heating. If the eccentricity is periodically pumped up, the ocean may have thickened and thinned on a similar timescale as the orbital evolution, provided the ocean never froze completely. We conclude that the current heat flux of Enceladus and any possible subsurface ocean is not in steady-state, and is the remnant of an epoch of higher eccentricity and tidal dissipation.  相似文献

In this paper, the expressions of variations of the dynamical ellipticity and the principal moments of inertia due to the deformations produced by the zonal part of the tidal potential are obtained. Starting from these expressions, we have studied from equations related to Hamiltonian theory, their effects on the nutation and finally we have evaluated numerically such influences, with a level of truncation at 0.1 μas. Thus we have shown that some coefficients are quite large with respect to the usual accuracy of up-to-date observations.

One of the great discoveries of NASA's Galileo mission was the presence of an intrinsically produced magnetic field at Ganymede. Generation of the relatively strong (750 nT) field likely requires dynamo action in Ganymede's metallic core, but how such a dynamo has been maintained into the present epoch remains uncertain. Using a one-dimensional, three layer thermal model of Ganymede, we find that magnetic field generation can only occur if the sulfur mass fraction in Ganymede's core is very low (?3%) or very high (?21%), and the silicate mantle can cool rapidly (i.e. it has a viscosity like wet olivine). However, these requirements are not necessarily compatible with cosmochemical and physical models of the satellite. We therefore investigate an alternative scenario for producing Ganymede's magnetic field in which passage through an eccentricity pumping Laplace-like resonance in Ganymede's past enables present day dynamo action in the metallic core. If sufficient tidal dissipation occurs in Ganymede's silicate mantle during resonance passage, silicate temperatures can undergo a runaway which prevents the core from cooling until the resonance passage ends. The rapid silicate and core cooling that follows resonance escape triggers dynamo action via thermal and/or compositional convection. To test the feasibility of this mechanism we couple our thermal model with an orbital evolution model to examine the effects of resonance passage on Ganymede's silicate mantle and metallic core. We find that, contrary to expectations, there are no physically plausible scenarios in which tidal heating in the silicates is sufficient to cause the thermal runaway necessary to prevent core cooling. These findings are robust to variations in the silicate rheology, tidal dissipation factor of Jupiter (QJ), structure of the ice shell, and the inclusion of partial melting in the silicate mantle. Resonance passage therefore appears unlikely to explain Ganymede's magnetic field and we must appeal to the special conditions described above to explain the presence of the field.  相似文献

Wegener concluded that the Earth's surface has suffered regionally variable westward displacement. Modern data support Wegener's conclusion, but a causative mechanism has not been evident. The retarding torque is too small to distort the viscous Earth. At the same time difficulty has been experienced in explaining the large value of the astronomically detected tidal dissipation. We have examined the effect of the secular rotational strain imposed by tidal bulge formation on convection in the mantle of arbitrary origin. The dissipation as measured by the lag in the bodily tides appears adequate to explain the missing part of the dissipation, some 8.5 × 1026 erg yr–1, without recourse to an unidentified mechanism in the seas. The convection must itself be influenced by the external force system. The effect to be expected is that circulation resulting in westward displacement at surface must be fostered at the expense of circulation in other directions. The history of the tidal couple, if this is based on dissipation in the mantle, is likely to differ greatly from that of a couple based on dissipation in the seas.  相似文献

The nonlinear dynamics of a rotating jet is examined following its ejection from a compact gravitating object by a vortex mechanism. A scenario is described in which a dense stream expands and is subsequently transformed into a nonstationary vortex consisting of a cylindrical core and a “sheath.” At this stage of development, a converging radial flow of matter in the differentially rotating nonuniform sheath collimates the jet and speeds up the rotation of the core, as well as the flow of matter along the jet, in accordance with a power law or “explosive” instability, until the velocity discontinuity at the surface of the core approaches the sound speed. Flows of this type have low energy dissipation and can serve as unique channels for the acceleration and collimation of jet eruptions from young stars, active galactic nuclei, and quasars.

In this paper, series of a rigid model of Mercury nutations are computed. The method used is based on the calculation of the forces produced by the Sun on Mercury as considered as a rigid body. In order to take into account the indirect effects coming from the orbit perturbations of Mercury, we used the ephemerides VSOP87 (Bretagnon and Francou, 1988). Due to non-negligible difference between the principal moment of inertia A and B in the case of Mercury, we compute also terms due to the triaxiality in addition to the general terms coming from J 2. With a truncation level of 10 –3 mas (milliarcsecond), related to the present-day precision of the Mercury precession constant, 173 terms in longitude ( sin ) and 166 terms in obliquity () are computed. The value of the dynamical flattening used is H D = (CA)/C = 2.3 × 10–4 (Anderson, 1987).  相似文献

The scalar equations of infinitesimal elastic gravitational motion for a rotating, slightly elliptical Earth are always used to study the Earth's nutation and tides theoretically, while the determination of the integration of the equations depends, to a certain extent, on the choice of a set of appropriate boundary conditions. In this paper, a continuity quantity related to the displacement is first transformed from the elliptical reference boundary to the corresponding effective spherical domain, and then converted from a vector (or tensor) form to a scalar form by generalized surface spherical harmonics expansion. All the related components, including the displacement vector field (or the stress tensor field), are then decomposed into the poloidal and toroidal field using the symmetry restrictions on the normal mode eigenfunctions. After truncation, the boundary conditions are finally derived, in a scalar ordinary differential form. The process of the derivation is second order in ellipticity and in full detail. Moreover, the other boundary conditions are also presented as second order in ellipticity at the end of this paper.
