We present 1- to 5-μm broadband and CVF images of comet Hale-Bopp taken 1997 February 10.5 UT, 50 days before perihelion.
All the images exhibit a nonspherical coma with a bright “ridge” in the direction of the dust tail approximately 10″ from
the coma. Synthetic aperture spectrophotometry implies that the optically important grains are of a radius ≤0.4 μm; smallest
radius for any comet seen to date. The variation of the integrated surface brightness with radial distance from the coma (ρ)
in all the images closely follows the “steady state” ρ−1 model for comet dust ablation (Gehrz and Ney, 1992). The near-infrared colors taken along the dust tail are not constant
implying the dust grain properties vary with coma distance.

Dust continuum imaging of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) was carried out with the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope (SVST)on La
Palma in April, 1997. Images were reduced according to standard procedure, aligned, averaged, navigated and enhanced with
azimuthal renormalization, rotational derivative, temporal derivative and unsharp masking processing.
The rotational period of the nucleus was determined to 11.5 h and the mean projected dust outflow velocity to 0.41 km s−1. Shell envelopes in the sunward side of the coma were separated by a projected distance of ∼15 000–20 000 km and spiralling
inwards towards smaller radii in the direction of local evening. Small scale inhomogeneities of size 1 000–2 000 km, interpreted
as correlated with variations in dust emission activity, were seen at radii ≤20 000 km. Two overlapping shell systems with
a relative lag angle of ∼55° were evident at the time.
The north pole of the nucleus was directed towards the Earth. The dust emission pattern is very complex and may be due to
several active areas. The shape of the incomplete spiral shell pattern indicates that the angle between the line-of-sight
and the rotational axis of the nucleus was not large.

An optical archive of comet Hale-Bopp was obtained over 28 nights from June 1996 to May 1997 covering a range of heliocentric
distances of r = 4.12 − 0.91. The CCD images were obtained with the 0.8-m University of Washington Manastash Ridge Observatory
and the 0.25-m Pennsylvania State University at Eriemobile observatory. The reduced images clearly document the evolution
of features of the coma, which were dominated by radial jetsfrom r = 4.1 − 2.3 AU, curved fan-shaped jets from r = 1.2 − 1.0
AU, and arcs or shells for 0.9 < r < 1.0 AU. We present the images and derive an average dust expansion velocity of Vdust = 0.67 ± 0.07 km s−1 from measurements of the arc features. The images in thearchive will be made available to other researchers for further study.

We report the detection of soft X-rays from comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) by the Low Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (LECS)
on-board the X-ray satellite, BeppoSAX. The observations took place on 1996 September 10–11 approximately 1 day after a large
dust outburst (Schulz et al., 1997–1999). After correcting for the comets motion, a 7σ enhancement was found centered (2.1
± 1.3) x 105 km from the position of the nucleus, in the general solar direction. The total X-ray luminosity in the 0.1–2.0 keV energy
band is 5 x 1016 erg s−1 which is at least a factor of ∼ 3 greater than measured by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE)4 days later and suggests
that the bulk of the emission measured by the LECS is related to the dust outburst. The extracted LECS spectrum is well fit
by a thermal bremsstrahlung-like distribution of temperature of 0.29 ± 0.06 keV - consistent with that observed in other comets.
We find no evidence for fluorescent carbon or oxygen emission and place 95% confidence limits of 1.0 x 1015 and 7.8 x 1015 erg s−1 to narrow line emission at 0.28 and 0.53 keV, respectively. We calculate that if such lines are present, they constitute
at most 18% of the 0.1–2.0 keV continuum luminosity.

Synoptic maps of white-light coronal brightness from SOHO/LASCO C2 and distributions of solar wind velocity obtained from
interplanetary scintillation are studied. Regions with velocity V≈300 – 450 km s−1 and increased density N>10 cm−3, typical of the “slow” solar wind originating from the belt and chains of streamers, are shown to exist at Earth’s orbit,
between the fast solar wind flows (with a maximum velocity V
max ≈450 – 800 km s−1). The belt and chains of streamers are the main sources of the “slow” solar wind. As the sources of “slow” solar wind, the
contribution from the chains of streamers may be comparable to that from the streamer belt. 相似文献

We analyze the evolution of the flare/postflare-loop system in the two-ribbon flare of November 3, 2003, utilizing multi-wavelength
observations that cover the temperature range from several tens of MK down to 104 K. A non-uniform growth of the loop system enables us to identify analogous patterns in the height–time, h(t), curves measured at different temperatures. The “knees,” “plateaus,” and “bends” in a higher-temperature curve appear after
a certain time delay at lower heights in a lower-temperature curve. We interpret such a shifted replication as a track of
a given set of loops (reconnected field lines) while shrinking and cooling after being released from the reconnection site.
Measurements of the height/time shifts between h(t) curves of different temperatures provide a simultaneous estimate of the shrinkage speed and cooling rate in a given temperature
domain, for a period of almost ten hours after the flare impulsive phase. From the analysis we find the following: (a) Loop
shrinkage is faster at higher temperatures – in the first hour of the loop-system growth, the shrinkage velocity at 5 MK is
20 – 30 km s−1, whereas at 1 MK it amounts to 5 km s−1; (b) Shrinking becomes slower as the flare decays – ten hours after the impulsive phase, the shrinkage velocity at 5 MK becomes
5 km s−1; (c) The cooling rate decreases as the flare decays – in the 5 MK range it is 1 MK min−1 in the first hour of the loop-system growth, whereas ten hours later it decreases to 0.2 MK min−1; (d) During the initial phase of the loop-system growth, the cooling rate is larger at higher temperatures, whereas in the
late phases the cooling rate apparently does not depend on the temperature; (e) A more detailed analysis of shrinking/cooling
around one hour after the impulsive phase reveals a deceleration of the loop shrinkage, amounting to ā ≈ 10 m s−2 in the T < 5 MK range; (f) In the same interval, conductive cooling dominates down to T ≈ 3 MK, whereas radiation becomes dominant below T ≈ 2 MK; (g) A few hours after the impulsive phase, radiation becomes dominant across the whole T < 5 MK range. These findings are compared with results of previous studies and discussed in the framework of relevant models. 相似文献

We present two scenarios for production of the Quadrantid stream based on two different models for its origin: the extinct
model in which 2003EH1 was an active comet that released the dust particles during past 5000 years, stopping its activity
abruptly in AD 1488; and the split model; in which a catastrophic disruption of an asteroid at AD 1488 released a large number
of dust particles in a single event. We calculate the orbital evolution of test particles released in both cases and derive
the resulting size distribution of surviving meteoroids in the current Quadrantid stream in the form of s
−α
ds, where s denotes the radius of a meteoroid. We find α = 3.1 in the extinct model and 2.0 in the split model. In addition, the radius
of the surviving meteoroids is derived as s >10 μm in the both models. We propose, based on our estimation of the infrared color ratio for the Quadrantid stream derived
from both models, that infrared observations of the Quadrantid stream may determine which origin model is more reasonable. 相似文献

We present SOHO/CDS observations taken during the gradual phase of the X17 flare that occurred on October 28, 2003. The CDS
data are supplemented with TRACE and ground-based observations. The spectral observations allow us to determine velocities
from the Doppler shifts measured in the flare loops and in the two ribbon kernels, one hour and a half after the flare peak.
Strong downflows (>70 km s−1) are observed along the loop legs at transition-region temperatures. The velocities are close to those expected for free
fall. Observations and results from a hydrodynamic simulation are consistent with the heating taking place for a short time
near the top of the arcade. Slight upflows are observed in the outer edges of the ribbons (<60 km s−1) in the EUV lines formed at log T < 6.3. These flows could correspond to the so-called “gentle evaporation.” At “flare” temperatures (Fe xix, log T = 6.9), no appreciable flows are observed. The observations are consistent with the general standard reconnection models
for two-ribbons flares. 相似文献

Spectra of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) were obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at medium resolution with the
grating spectrometer in the photometer (PHT-S) and/or at high resolution with the short wavelength spectrometer (SWS) and
long wavelength spectrometer (LWS) in April 1996 (Crovisier et al., 1996), September–October 1996 (Crovisier et al., 1997a,
b) and December 1997, at distances from the Sun of 4.6, 2.9 and 3.9 AU, respectively. For the first time, high-resolution
spectra of a comet covering the entire 2.4 to 200 μm spectral range were obtained.
The vibrational bands of H2O, CO2 and CO are detected in emission with PHT-S. Relative production rates of 100:22:70 are derived for H2O:CO2:CO at 3 AU pre-perihelion. H2O is observed at high spectral resolution in the ν3 group of bands around 2.7 μm and the ν2 group around 6 μm with SWS, and in several rotational lines in the 100–180 μm region with LWS. The high signal-to-noise ratio
of the ν3 band observed on September–October 1996 allows accurate determinations of the water rotational temperature (28 K) and of
its ortho-to-para ratio(2.45 ± 0.10, which significantly differs from the high temperature limit and corresponds to a spin
temperature of 25 K).
Longward of 6 μm the spectrum is dominated by dust thermal continuum emission, upon which broad emission features are superimposed.
The wavelengths of the emission peaks correspond to those of Mg-rich crystalline olivine (forsterite). In the September–October
1996 spectra, emission features at 45 and 65 μm and possible absorption at 2.9–3.2 μm suggest that grains of water ice were
present at 3 AU from the Sun.
The observations made post-perihelion in late December 1997 led to the detections of H2O, CO2 and CO at 3.9 AU from the Sun (Figures 1 and 2). The production rates were ≈3.0 × 1028,3.5 × 1028 and ≈1.5 × 1029 s-1, respectively. This corresponds to H2O:CO2:CO = 100:110:500 and confirms that at such distances from the Sun, cometary activity is dominated by sublimation of CO and
CO2 rather than by H2O.

We present results of polarimetric and photometric observations of bright comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) obtained at the 0.7
m telescope of Kharkov University Observatory from June 18, 1996 to April 24, 1997. The IHW and HB comet filters were used.
The C2 and C3 production rates for Hale-Bopp are more than one order of magnitude larger and the dust production rates are more than two
orders of magnitude larger than the Halley ones at comparable distances. Hence, Hale-Bopp was one of the most dusty comets.
The average UC-BC and BC-RC colours of the dust were −0.02 and 0.13 mag, respectively. The polarization of comet Hale-Bopp
at small phase angles of 4.8–13.0° was in good agreement with the date for comet P1/Halley at the same phase angles in spite
of the fact that the heliocentric distances of comments differed nearly twice. However, at intermediate phase angles of 34–49°
the polarization of comet Hale-Bopp was significantly larger than the polarization of the other dusty comets. It is the first
case of such a large difference found in the continuum polarization of comets. The wavelength dependence of polarization for
Hale-Bopp was steeper than for other dusty comets. The observed degree of polarization for the anti-sunward side of the coma
was permanently higher than that for the sunward shell side. The polarization phase dependence of Hale-Bopp is discussed and
compared with the polarization curves for other dusty comets. The peculiar polarimetric properties of comet Hale-Bopp are
most likely caused by an over-abundance of small or/and absorbing dust particles in the coma.

The results of observations of solar decametric drift pair bursts are presented. These observations were carried out during
a Type III burst storm on July 11–21, 2002, with the decameter radio telescope UTR-2, equipped with new back-end facilities.
High time and frequency resolution of the back-end allowed us to obtain new information about the structure and properties
of these bursts. The statistical analysis of more than 700 bursts observed on 13–15 July was performed separately for “forward”
and “reverse” drift pair bursts. Such an extensive amount of these kind of bursts has never been processed before. It should
be pointed out that “forward” and “reverse” drift pair bursts have a set of similar parameters, such as time delay between
the burst elements, duration of an element, and instant bandwidth of an element. Nevertheless some of their parameters are
different. So, the absolute average value of frequency drift rate for “forward” bursts is 0.8 MHz s−1, while for “reverse” ones it is 2 MHz s−1. The obtained functional dependencies “drift rate vs. frequency” and “flux density vs. frequency” were found to be different
from the current knowledge. We also report about the observation of unusual variants of drift pairs, in particular, of “hook”
bursts and bursts with fine time and frequency structure. A possible mechanism of drift pairs generation is proposed, according
to which this emission may originate from the interaction of Langmuir waves with the magnetosonic waves having equal phase
and group velocities. 相似文献

We have considered the new process of atmospheric losses - “sputtering” under bombardment by interplanetary dust. It is demonstrated
that “sputtering” due to collisions with the interplanetary dust is an effective way of atmospheric gas loss (10–4–10–3 of the dust particles' accreting mass) and that it changes the composition of the atmospheric gases.
In calculations we have taken that the dust particles collide elastically with the atoms and molecules of the atmosphere.
Estimation of the effects of inelastic collisions was also considered. As a result of these collisions a part of the atmospheric
atoms and molecules will have “upward” velocity and enough energy to escape. It was considered that escaping atoms can collide
with the atoms of the “main” gas of the upper atmosphere.
The atmospheric gas composition is assumed to be just as in the modern Martian atmosphere - the “main” gases in the upper
atmosphere were taken to be O and CO2.
In our computations we pay particular attention to the abundance of noble gases in planetary atmospheres since these gases
are very important for theories of atmospheric origin.
We computed that under “sputtering” by the interplanetary dust, atmospheres were enriched by the “heavy” elements and isotopes
in the wide range of the upper atmospheric parameters O/CO2, T/g (O/CO2– on the level of homosphere;T is temperature of the exosphere,g is gravitational acceleration).
However the loss efficiency for “heavy” gases is relatively high compared to other known gas loss processes. In the case of
noble gases for the specific parameters of the upper atmosphere (small T/g ratio; high O/CO2 on the level of homosphere) we have got the unique result: despite the diffusion separation in the upper atmosphere the loss
efficiency of Xe > Kr > Ar.
The effect of “sputtering” of the planetary atmospheres was strongest during the early stages of the planetary evolution -
when the rate of the dust accretion was intrinsically higher than now because of collisions of planetesimals. In light of
the new escape process, the main peculiarities of the noble gases abundance in the planetary atmospheres could be explained.

Fabry-Pérot interferograms of comet Hale-Bopp were obtained on several nights in March and April 1997. For this purpose we
utilized the 2-channel focal reducer of the Max-Planck-Institute for Aeronomy at the 2-m telescope of the Pik Terskol Observatory.
Solid Fabry-Pérot etalons of resolving power 30000 were used in both channels of the focal reducer. The main aim of this study
is to measure the velocities and abundances of OH+ and H2O+, both ions closely related to the same parent molecule, H2O. In the blue channel interferograms we identified several individual OH+ rotational lines of the A3Πi - X3Σ− (0-0) transition and measured their Doppler shifts. The target emissions in the red channel were the H2O+ lines of the A2A1 − X2B1 (10-0) band. We found that the line of sight velocities, obtained from the Doppler shifted wavelengths of emissions in the
comet are higher in sunward direction than in the plasma tail and do not exceed 20 km s–1. The corresponding values, deprojected in antisolar direction, are consistent with predictions by magnetohydrodynamical models
of the solar-wind-comet interaction, when one accounts for the extremely high gas production rate of comet Hale-Bopp.

High-resolution images of comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock taken on five separate through its closest approach to the Earth are presented. The images were taken in the red and near-infrared, and so consist primarily of continuum scattering from dust grains. The distribution of dust in the inner coma varied widely from day to day, although the dust was emitted primarily in the sunward direction on all days. The main emission exhibited a lag angle consistent with a nuclear rotational vector that was oriented approximately along the line of sight on May 11.3 1983 UT. A curved filament, extending in the sunward direction, was seen in the deepest images obtained on this day as well, and the azimuthal distribution of dust was strongly of dust was strongly peakeed in the sunward direction. The presence of the curved filament is indicative of dust outflow from an active region, on a mantled nucleus. On all days, the brightness falls off slower than the r− expected for uniform outflow, which is interpreted as resulting from fragmentation of the dust grains as they traveled through the coma. The nuclear region appeared stellar on all days. The seeing-limited spatial resolutions was 19 km on May 11.3, but deconvolution of the images with the instrumental profile enables an upper limit of 17 km to be placed on the diameter of the nucleus. 相似文献

We report the discovery of a decay in the superorbital period of the binary X-ray pulsar LMC X-4. Combining archival data
and published long term X-ray light curves, we have found a decay in the third period in this system (P ∼ 30.3 day, P ∼ −2 × 10−5 s s−1). Along with this result, a comparison of the superorbital intensity variations in LMC X-4, Her X-1 and SMC X-1 is also presented. 相似文献

The comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) has been observed in the infrared (1–2.5 μm) with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped
with the Arcetri NICMOS3 camera (ARNICA). Two observational campaigns, each one lasting about one week, were made when the
comet heliocentric distance was about 3 AU. The first campaign was at the end of August and the second at the end of September
1996.
During both runs two major outbursts were observed, the more intense of them started the day before the beginning of the second
run. In the images recorded during the first three nights (24.8–26.8 Sept.) of the second run a dust shell expanding in the
northern quadrant with a projected velocity of 0.14–0.28 km/s is clearly evident. The dust production rate increased by at
least a factor ≈3 at the time of the outburst. Also evident on the first night is a change in the IR color that is well correlated
with the dust shell. This is an indication that the material released by the outburst has a different composition and/or size
distribution than that in the “quiescent” dust coma.
In this paper we present preliminary results about the evolution and the photometric characteristics of the dust shell.

We present a comparison between images of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) obtained from 12 March to 9 May 1997, with two telescopes
of the Observatorio del Teide (IAC, Tenerife, Spain) in visible (Johnson-V filter) and three near-infrared narrowband filters
(Brγ (2.166 μm), CO (2.295 μm), and Kcon (2.260 μm)). No significant differences are observed between the images in the three near-infrared bands suggesting that
any CO emission is very weak, or produced by an extended flat source. We do not find evidence for the existence of an additional
infrared component due to emission by warm dust, or to dust grains of diverse composition and/or size. Visible and infrared
images of the same rotational phase look almost identical, supporting the view that the observed jets and shells are mainly
dust structures.

Comet 81P/Wild 2 was observed in the thermal infrared over 6 months during its 1997 perihelion passage. The comet was most active in late February, about 3 months preperihelion; dust production declined by a factor of 3 between February and August. For the GIOTTO Halley dust size distribution, maximum dust production rate was ∼2 × 106 g/s. The comet displayed a 10-μm silicate feature about 25% above the continuum, similar to several other Jupiter-family comets, but much lower than that seen in a number of Oort cloud comets.NASA’s STARDUST sample return mission will encounter P/Wild 2 98 days postperihelion in January 2004. Based on our observations at a similar point in the orbit and the Halley size distribution, we predict that the mass fluence on the spacecraft for a 150 km miss distance will be about 8 × 10−6 g/cm2 for particles up to 1 cm in radius. The corresponding areal coverage will be about 10−4. 相似文献

An improved method of image segmentation is introduced. The object-tracking algorithm, originally developed by Sobotka, Brandt,
and Simon (Astron. Astrophys. 328, 682, 1997) is modified with special attentions on splitting and merging of umbral dots (UDs), definition of the umbral boundary, and
the birth-frames and the death-frames of UDs. By applying the new method of image segmentation and the object-tracking algorithm
on a 67-min series of white-light images of a large pore (Sobotka et al., Astrophys. J.
511, 436, 1999), the physical characteristics of 20 “resolved” UDs with umbral origin were recorded. The most probable lifetime of the UDs
is between 7 and 10 min. Umbral dots show a typical size of about 230 km. Their mean speeds are smaller than 2 km s−1 with a distribution around a value less than 1 km s−1. However, their average velocities are less than 0.8 km s−1. Brighter (fainter) UDs are formed in the brighter (dimmer) region of the pore. There is no correlation between time-averaged
area or time-averaged speeds and lifetimes. Also, the time-averaged peak intensities of UDs do not show any well-defined dependence
on the corresponding time-averaged areas. It seems that there is a relation between average velocities of UDs and their time-averaged
peak intensities, with brighter UDs moving more slowly. 相似文献

Since many years cometary ions have been observed by the authors and their coworkers in order to study the comet-solar wind
interaction. Comets with water production rates ranging from 1028(46P/Wirtanen) to 6 1030molecules s−1(C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp) have been observed. In this paper we briefly introduce the physics of the comet-solar wind interaction.
New observations of comet C/1996 Q1 (Tabur) are presented, where for the first time H2O+and CO+ions have been recorded exactly simultaneously with a two-channel system. They are compared with previous observations of
comets C/1989 X1 (Austin), 46P (Wirtanen) and 109P (Swift-Tuttle). We use a new method of Wegmann et al. (1998), based on
the MHD scaling law, to determine the water production of comet Tabur from its H2O+column density map and obtain a value of 3.3 1028water molecules s−1. Nonstationary phenomena like tail rays and so-called tail disconnections are very briefly reviewed. A movie of plasma envelopes
observed in the light of OH+in comet 1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) is presented on the attached CD-ROM.
