Measurements of N2+ and supporting data made on the Atmosphere Explorer-C satellite in the ionosphere are used to study the charge exchange process The equality k = (5 ± 1.7) × 10?10cm3s?1. This value lies close to the lower limit of experimental uncertainty of the rate coefficient determined in the laboratory. We have also investigated atomic oxygen quenching of O+(2D) and find that the rate coefficient is 2 × 10?11 cm3s?1 to within approximately a factor of two. 相似文献

Measurements at 3.5 mm of the disk-average brightness temperature of Mars during the 1978 opposition can be represented by (The errors cited are from the internal scatter; the estimated absolute calibration uncertainty is 3%.) This longitudinal variation must be taken into account if Mars is to be used as a calibration source at millimeter wavelengths. The total range of the 3.5-mm variation is three to four times larger than both the 2.8-cm and 20-μm variations. This unexpected result can possibly be explained by subsurface scattering from rocks ?1.5-cm radius. 相似文献

The photodissociation of water vapour in the mesosphere depends on the absorption of solar radiation in the region (175–200 nm) of the O2 Schumann-Runge band system and also at H-Lyman alpha. The photodissociation products are OH + H, OH + H, O + 2H and H2 + O at Lyman alpha; the percentages for these four channels are 70, 8, 12 and 10%, respectively, but OH + H is the only channel between 175 and 200 nm. Such proportions lead to a production of H atoms corresponding to practically the total photodissociation of H2O, while the production of H2 molecules is only 10% of the H2O photodissociation by Lyman alpha.The photodissociation frequency (s?1) at Lyman alpha can be expressed by a simple formula where F10.7 cm is the solar radioflux at 10.7 cm and N the total number of O2 molecules (cm?2), and when the following conventional value is accepted for the Lyman alpha solar irradiance at the top of the Earth's atmosphere () qLyα,∞ = 3 × 1011 photons cm?2 s1?.The photodissociation frequency for the Schumann-Runge band region is also given for mesospheric conditions by a simple formula where JSRB,∞(H2O) = 1.2 × 10?6 and 1.4 × 10?6 s?1 for quiet and active sun conditions, respectively.The precision of both formulae is good, with an uncertainty less than 10%, but their accuracy depends on the accuracy of observational and experimental parameters such as the absolute solar irradiances, the variable transmittance of O2 and the H2O effective absorption cross sections. The various uncertainties are discussed. As an example, the absolute values deduced from the above formulae could be decreased by about 25-20% if the possible minimum values of the solar irradiances were used. 相似文献

The quenching rate kN2 of by N2 and the specific recombination rate α1D of O2+ leading to are re-examined in light of available laboratory and satellite data. Use of recent experimental values for the transition probabilities in a re-analysis of AE-C satellite 6300 Å airglow data results in a value for kN2 of 2.3 × 10?11 cm3s?1 at thermospheric temperatures, in excellent agreement with the laboratory measurements. This implies a value of JO2 = 1.5 × 10?6s?1 for the O2 photodissociation rate in the Schumann-Runge continuum. The specific recombination coefficient α1D = 2.1 × 10?7cm3s?1 is also in agreement with the laboratory value. Implications for the suggested reaction are discussed. 相似文献

Six times of maxima of the ultrashort-period cepheid variable EH Librae were measured in 1980 May to June and in 1981 January, with a three-channel photocounting high-speed photoelectric photometer. These, together with all the photoelectric times of maxima over the past 30 years, are used to re-examine the nature of the change of the period. We found that we can fix the times of maxima by the following formula where T0 = HJD 2433438.6088 and P0 = 0.0884132445 d represent the initial maximum epoch and the pulsation period, β = ?2.8 × 10?8/yr; A = 0.0015 d, P0 = 6251 d = 17.1 yr are the semi-amplitude and the period of the sine curve, and E is the number of periods elapsed since T0, and (E0 = 70700).If we interpret this 17.1 year periodicity as a modulation of the phase of maximum by binary motion, then the semi-amplitude of the orbital radial velocity variation is K = 2πasini/E0 = 0.45 km/s and the mass function is 相似文献

Absolute spectrophotometry of Neptune from 3390 to 7800 Å, with spectral resolution of 10 Å in the interval 3390–6055 and 20 Å in the interval 6055–7800 Å, is reported. The results are compared with filter photometry (Appleby, 1973; Wamsteker, 1973; Savage et al., 1980) and with synthetic spectra computed on the basis of a parameterization proposed by Podolak and Danielson (1977) for aerosol scattering and absorption. A CH4/H2 ratio of is derived for the convectively mixed part of Neptune's atmosphere, and constrains optical properties of hypothetical aerosol layers. 相似文献

Numerical solutions of the equations of meteor ablation in the Earth's atmosphere have been obtained using a variable step size Runge-Kutta technique in order to determine the size of the residual mass resulting from atmospheric flight. The equations used include effects of meteoroid heat capacity and thermal radiation, and a realistic atmospheric density profile. Results were obtained for initial masses in the range 10?7–10?2 g, and for initial velocities less than 24 km s?1 (results indicated no appreciable residual mass for meteors with velocities above 24 km s?1 in this mass range). The following function has been obtained to provide the logarithm of the ratio of the residual mass following atmospheric ablation to the original preatmospheric mass The pre-atmospheric mass and velocity are represented by m∞ and v∞.When the results are expressed in terms of the size of the residual mass following atmospheric ablation as a function of the initial mass and velocity, it is found that the final residual mass is almost independent of the original mass of the meteoroid, but very strongly dependent on the original velocity. For example, the residual mass is very nearly 10?7 g for a meteoroid with velocity 18 kms?1 for initial masses from 10?7 to 10?3 g. On the other hand, a slight change in the initial velocity to 20 km s?1 will shift the residual mass to approx. 10?8 g. This strong velocity dependence coupled with the weak dependence on the original mass has important consequences for the sampling of ablation product micrometeorites. 相似文献

The potential ? of the electric field at high latitudes has been obtained by solving numerically the second order differential equation in spherical coordinates: , where θ is colatitude, λ is longitude, σH and σP are the height-integrated Hall and Perdersen ionospheric conductivities, r = sinθ, and ψ is the current function. The boundary condition is ? = 0 on the geomagnetic parallel θ = 34°. Values of ψ are determined from geomagnetic field variations at the Earth's surface from geomagnetic field variations at the Earth's surface for various conditions in interplanetary space. σP and σH are taken to vary with season, local time, tilt of the geomagnetic dipole axis (UT), and intensity of corpuscular precipitation (the model proposed by Wallis and Budzinski, 1981). The model distributions of ?M and EM = -▽?m so obtained are compared with observational results. The feasibility has been demonstrated of interpreting the statistical results and individual measurement data in terms of a unified dynamic model of ionospheric electric fields. The model makes allowance for the changes of electromagnetic “weather” in interplanetary space. 相似文献

The paper gives the results of detailed studies of the frequency spectra of the chain of the wave packets Fs(t) of geomagnetic pulsations PC-1 recorded at the Novolazarevskaya station. The bulk of the energy of Fs(t) is concentrated in the vicinity of the central frequencies of spectra—the carrier frequencies of the signals. The velocity of the flux of protons generating these signals correspond to them. The spectra of the signals have oscillations—“satellites” irregularly distributed in frequency. These satellites, as the authors believe, testify to the presence of the individual groups of protons of low concentration whose velocities vary within 103–104 km s?1.Their energy is only of the order of 10?2–10?3 of the energy of the main proton flux. Clearly pronounced maxima on double and triple frequencies are detected. They show that the generation of pulsations PC-1 is accompanied by the generation on the overtones of wave packets called in this paper “two-fold” and “three-fold” pulsations PC-1. Intensive symmetrical satellites of a modulation character have been discovered on frequencies . Frequency differences correspond to them. The authors believe that the values of Δ?±sK are resonance frequencies of the magnetospheric cavity in which geomagnetic pulsations PC-1 are generated. It is established that the values of Δ?±sK coincide closely with the carrier frequencies of geomagnetic pulsations PC-3 and PC-4 generated in the magnetosphere. This leads to the conclusion that the resonance oscillations of the magnetospheric cavity are their source. Thus, the generation of geomagnetic pulsations of different types and resonance oscillations in the magnetosphere are integrated into a unified process. The importance of the results obtained and the necessity to check further their trustworthiness and universality, using experimental data gathered in different conditions, is stressed. 相似文献

Previous studies based on radio scintillation measurements of the atmosphere of Venus have identified two regions of small-scale temperature fluctuations located in the vicinity of 45 and 60 km. A global study of the fluctuations near 60 km, which are consistent with wind-shear-generated turbulence, was conducted using the Pioneer Venus measurements. The structure constants of refractive index fluctuations cn2 and temperature fluctuations cT2 increase poleward, peak near 70° latitude, and decrease over the pole; cn2 varies from 2 × 10?15 to 1.5 × 10?14m and cT2 from 4 × 10?3 to 7 × 10?2°K2m. These results indicate greater turbulent activity at the higher latitudes. In the region near 45 km the refractive index fluctuations and the corresponding temperature fluctuations are substantially lower. Based on the analysis of one representative occultation measurement, in the 45-km region. The fluctuations in this region also appear to be consistent with wind-shear-generated turbulence. The turbulence level is considerably weaker than that at 60 km; the energy dissipation rate ε is 4.9 × 10?5m2sec?3 and the small-scale eddy diffusion coefficient K is 2 × 103 cm2 sec?1. 相似文献

Models of the collapse of a protostellar cloud and the formation of the solar nebula reveal that the size of the nebula produced will be the larger of (where J, M, and cs are the total angular momentum, total mass, and sound speed of the protosetellar material; G is the gravitational constant; k is a number of order unity; and v is the effective viscosity in the nebula). From this result it can be deduced that low-mass nebulas are produced if P ≡ (RV/RCF)2 ? 1; “massive” nebulas result if P ? 1. Gravitational instabilities are expected to be important for the evolution of P ? 1 nebulas. The value of J distinguishes most current models of the solar nebula, since P ∝ J?4. Analytic expressions for the surface density, nebular mass flux, and photospheric temperature distributions during the formation stage are presented for some simple models that illustrate the general properties of growing protostellar disks. It does not yet seem possible to rule out either P ? 1 or P < 1 for the solar nebula, but observed or possible heterogeneities in composition and angular-momentum orientation favor P < 1 models. 相似文献

A mechanism has been proposed for uv-accelerated desorption from Fe2+ sites on mineral surfaces that satisfies kinetic constraints determined in the laboratory by Huguenin. The process is an integral step of the photochemical weathering mechanism for producing dust on Mars, and it now appears that it may play primary roles in stabilizing CO2 against dissociation by sunlight and in controlling the oxidation state of the atmosphere. We propose that adsorption occurs at octahedrally coordinated Fe2+ surface sites to form seven-coordinate transition-state complexes. These complexes acquire 16–18 kcal mole?1 of ligand field stabilization energy. During illumination (λ ≤ 0.35 μm), electrons are photoemitted from the surfaced Fe2+, temporarily oxidizing them to Fe3+. Fe3+ has no ligand field stabilization energy, and the complexes lose 16–18 kcal mole?1 of stabilization energy. This is a large fraction of the 19- to 28-kcal mole?1 activation energy for dissociating the complexes, and desorption should proceed spontaneously. The gases that were observed to undergo adsorption-photodesorption include O2, CO2, CO, H2O, N2, and Ar. Photodesorption can drive several catalytic reactions, one of which is the oxidation of CO to CO2. The rate of this reaction should be limited by the supply of CO and O2 to the surface to ～2 × 1012 cm?2 sec?1 (column photodissociation rate of CO2). By including this surface reaction in models of Martian atmospheric CO2 chemistry, CO2 can be stabilized against photodissociation with eddy diffusion coefficients of only 3 × 105?1 × 107 cm2 sec?1 below 40 km, raising to ～ 109 cm2 sec?1 at 140 km. Odd hydrogen is not needed to catalyze the oxidation of CO below 40 km, and odd hydrogen mixing ratios need only to be to depress ozone concentrations below the observed upper limit in equatorial regions. Another catalytic reaction that should be driven by photodesorption on Mars is . This is an important source of atmospheric O2, amounting to 7 × 1013?2 × 1017 O2 molecules cm?2 yr?1, and it could have a significant effect on atmospheric oxidation state. 相似文献

Recent laboratory measurements of the deactivation rate constants for O(1S) have suggested that the dominant production mechanism for the green line in the nightglow is a two-step process. A similar mechanism involving energy transfer from an excited state of molecular oxygen is considered as a potential source of the OI (5577 Å) emission in the aurora. It is shown that the mechanism, , is consistent with auroral observations; the intermediate excited state has been tentatively identified as the O2(c1∑?u) state. For the proposed energy transfer mechanism to be the primary source of the auroral green line, the peak electron impact cross-section for O21 production must be approximately 2 × 10?17 cm2. 相似文献

The part that the energy transfer reaction plays in the excitation of the auroral green line has been investigated. The contribution is estimated to be 40 per cent in this case, containing pulsating aurora in class IBC 1. Due to greater quenching of the A3∑u+ state, the centroid of the VK emission is displaced 10 km upwards of the green line height, which is centred at 110 km. 相似文献

The intensities of radiation from the inner comas of comets which are composed primarily of water and carbon monoxide have been calculated. Only “airglow” emissions initiated by the absorption of extreme ultraviolet radiation have been considered. The photoionizations of H2O, CO, CO2, and N2 are the most important emission sources, although photoelectron excitation is also considered. Among the emission features for which intensities were calculated are H2O+ (), CO+ (first negative), CO (fourth positive), CO (Cameron), CO2+ (), N2 (Vegard-Kaplan), N2+ (first negative), and OI (1304 Å). In the inner coma (collision region) these airglow mechanisms are shown to be possible competitors with the usually assumed resonance scattering and flourescence excitation mechanisms which are appropriate for the outer coma and tail. 相似文献

The effect of collisions on electrostatic instabilities driven by gravity and density gradients perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field is studied. Electron collisions tend to stabilize the short wavelength (ky?i ? 1, where ky is the perpendicular wavenumber of the instability and ?i is the ion Larmor radius) kinetic interchange mode. In the presence of weak ion-ion collisions, this mode gets converted into an unmagnetized ion interchange mode which has maximum growth rate one order smaller than that of the collisionless mode. On the other hand, electron collisions can excite a long wavelength resistive interchange mode in a wide wavenumber regime () with growth rates comparable to that of the collisional Rayleigh-Taylor mode. The results may be relevant to some of the spread F irregularities. 相似文献
