B andV photometry of DM UMa obtained between January, 1980 and June, 1984 is presented. Analysis yields a mean photometric period 7d.478±0d.010, compared to the known oribital period of 7d.492±0d.009. Light curves obtained during any two seasons do not agree in any of the following: shape, amplitude, phases of the light maxima and minima, mean light level, or brightness at the light maxima and minima. From the change inB-V over the photometric period, we concludethat the hemisphere visible during the light minimum is cooler than that seen during light maximum. The mean colorB-V=1m.065±0m.002 is consistent with K1 III or K2 IV. Phases of light minima lie on two well-separated groups with different slopes; the corresponding periods are 7d.471±0d.002 and 7d.481±0d.001, in dicating that both migrate linearly towards decreasing orbital phase. In terms of the starspot model this indicates that two respective centers of activity were situated at different longitudes and latitudes on a differentially rotating star. From circumstantial evidence we infer that the dark region seen from 1979 onwards disintegrated sometime between the 1982 and 1983 observing seasons, leaving behind an area of relatively high surface brightness. We can put a lower limit of about four years on the lifetime of a center of activity.  相似文献

Additional studies of the ion composition results obtained from the OGO-6 satellite support earlier observations of irregularities in the distribution of H+ and He+ within the light ion trough near L = 4, which has been associated with the plasmapause. These irregularities are in the form of sub-troughs superimposed upon the major mid latitude decrease of the light ions. In the sub-troughs, ionization depletions and recoveries of as much as an order of magnitude are observed within a few degrees of latitude, usually exhibited in a pattern which changes significantly with longitude as the Earth rotates beneath the relatively fixed satellite orbit. The location and properties exhibited by these sub-troughs appear to be consistent with the concept of a plasmasphere distortion in the form of “plasmatails” resulting from the combined effects of magnetospheric convection plus corotation. Like the light ion trough, the “plasmatail” irregularity in H+ may be obscured on the day side by the dominant topside distribution of O+. Consequently, these light ion irregularities are seen as an important factor for studies of plasmapause-trough relationships.  相似文献

Abstract— We have used dual coaxial microchannel plate image-intensified monochrome charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors run at standard NTSC frame rates (30 frames per second, fps) to study the Leonid meteor shower on 1998 November 17 from an airborne platform at an altitude of ～13 km. These observations were part of NASA's 1998 Leonid multi-instrument aircraft campaign (MAC). The observing systems had fields of view (width) of 16.3° and 9.5°, and limiting stellar sensitivities of +8.3m and +8.9m. During 12 h of recording, 230 meteors were detected, of which 65 were Leonid meteors. Light curves are presented for 53 of these meteors. The magnitudes at peak brightness of the meteors investigated were generally in the range from +4.0m to +6.0m. The mass distribution indices for the two samples are 1.67 and 1.44, with the former being based on the wider field of view dataset. The light curves were skewed with the brightest point towards the beginning of the meteor trail. The F parameter for points one magnitude below maximum luminosity had a mean value of 0.47 for the wider field system and 0.37 for the more sensitive narrower field system. We provide leading and trailing edge light curve slopes for each meteor as another indication of light curve shape. There were few obvious flares on the light curves, indicating that in-flight fragmentation into a large number of grains is not common. There is variability in light curve shape from meteor to meteor. The light curves are inconsistent with single, compact body meteor theory, and we interpret the data as indicative of a two-component dustball model with metal or silicate grains bonded by a lower boiling point, possibly organic, substance. The variation in light curve shape may be indicative of differences in mass distribution of the constituent grains. We provide trail length vs. magnitude data. There is only a slight hint of a bend at +5m in the data, representing the difference between meteors that have broken into a cluster of grains prior to grain ablation, and those that continue to fragment during the grain ablation phase. Two specific meteors show interesting light curve features. One meteor is nebulous in appearance, with significant transverse width. The apparent light production region extends for 450 m from the center of the meteor path. Another meteor has several main fragments, and evidence of significant separated fragments. We offer several suggestions for improvements for the 1999 Leonid MAC light curve experiment.  相似文献

Photoelectric UBV light curves of the recently discovered eclipsing binary HX UMa were obtained and studied to determine the preliminary physical parameters of the system for the first time. The observations were taken at the TüBİTAK1 – Turkish National Observatory (TUG) on three nights in April 2003. A simultaneous analysis of the light and radial velocity curves yields a typical A-type contact binary with a high degree of overcontact. The influence of the close visual companion to the total light of the system was taken into account during the analysis. 1TüBİTAK: The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.  相似文献

Abstract— The Monahans H‐chondrite is a regolith breccia containing light and dark phases and the first reported presence of small grains of halite. We made detailed noble gas analyses of each of these phases. The 39Ar‐40Ar age of Monahans light is 4.533 ± 0.006 Ma. Monahans dark and halite samples show greater amounts of diffusive loss of 40Ar and the maximum ages are 4.50 and 4.33 Ga, respectively. Monahans dark phase contains significant concentrations of He, Ne and Ar implanted by the solar wind when this material was extant in a parent body regolith. Monahans light contains no solar gases. From the cosmogenic 3He, 21Ne, and 38Ar in Monahans light we calculate a probable cosmic‐ray, space exposure age of 6.0 ± 0.5 Ma. Monahans dark contains twice as much cosmogenic 21Ne and 38Ar as does the light and indicates early near‐surface exposure of 13–18 Ma in a H‐chondrite regolith. The existence of fragile halite grains in H‐chondrites suggests that this regolith irradiation occurred very early. Large concentrations of 36Ar in the halite were produced during regolith exposure by neutron capture on 35Cl, followed by decay to 36Ar. The thermal neutron fluence seen by the halite was (2–4) × 1014 n/cm2. The thermal neutron flux during regolith exposure was ～0.4‐0.7 n/cm2/s. The Monahans neutron fluence is more than an order of magnitude less than that acquired during space exposure of several large meteorites and of lunar soils, but the neutron flux is lower by a factor of ≤5. Comparison of the 36Arn/21Necos ratio in Monahans halite and silicate with the theoretically calculated ratio as a function of shielding depth in an H‐chondrite regolith suggests that irradiation of Monahans dark occurred under low shielding in a regolith that may have been relatively shallow. Late addition of halite to the regolith can be ruled out. However, irradiation of halite and silicate for different times at different depths in an extensive regolith cannot be excluded.  相似文献

Various estimates for the optical thickness of the Cassini division are studied in order to explain and eliminate the discrepancies between them. An analysis of dark-side observations and a theoretical study based on the behavior of collisions suggest that the optical thickness of the Cassini division is not constant, but fluctuates in the range of 10?4–10?3. The nonzero brightness in reflected light is caused either by stray light or by narrow optically thick ringlets inside the Cassini division.  相似文献

Photometric observation of HR 1099 inV andB obtained on 18 nights between January and March 1977 is presented. The amplitude of the asymmetric light curve is found to be 0m.10±0m.004 both inV andB. On three occasions—namely, JD 2443164. 17, JD 2443176. 14 and JD 2443177.12—the star brightened by 0m.05. Four H spectrograms at 42 Å mm–1 dispersion were obtained during October–November 1978. The profile and equivalent width of H of 14 November, 1978 suggest a probable major outburst.Analysis of all available photometry shows that (1) the amplitude and shape of the light curve change in a few orbital periods, (2) the phase of the minimum light migrated towards decreasing orbital phase during the interval JD 2442720 to JD 2443000 and from JD 2443200, there is almost a linear increase of the phase of the minimum light and (3) the phase of the light minimum sometimes shows to and fro behaviour suggesting the migration of the wave is not taking place smoothly.  相似文献

1SWASP J204932.94-654025.8 (hereafter J2049) is a newly discovered eclipsing binary system with an orbital period of 0.2299103 days. BVRc light curves (LCs) are presented and analyzed by using the 2013 version of the Wilson–Devinney (W–D) program. Because the observed LCs are asymmetric, a hot star-spot was employed on the secondary component during our analysis. We found that J2049 is a W-subtype shallow contact eclipsing binary system with an orbit inclination of 62∘.69 ± 0∘.95 and a mass ratio of q =1.326 ± 0.056. More importantly, we found the presence of a strong third light, with an average luminosity contribution of 31.3% of the total light. Based on times of the light minima, the orbital period changes of J2049 are studied for the first time, and there is no evidence for any significant dp/dt now. Considering the presence of the third light and the short time span of the eclipse times, more observations are needed in the future.  相似文献

We propose a method for computing the bolometric light curves of type Ia and Ib/c supernovae based on Monte Carlo simulations of unsteady-state radiative transfer. The method is used to analyze the bolometric light curve of the unusual type Ib/c supernova SN 1998bw associated with GRB 980 425. We show that the previously noted inconsistency in the behavior of simulated light curves at early and late stages, which is attributable to asymmetry effects, can be overcome in a spherically symmetric model. Agreement with observations requires complete 56Ni mixing and a higher matter density in the central part of the envelope in the velocity range v<5000 km s?1 compared to standard models.  相似文献

A distinct feature of the ion composition results from the OGO-2, 4 and 6 satellites is the light ion trough, wherein the mid latitude concentrations of H+ and He+ decrease sharply with latitude, dropping to levels of 103 ions/cm3 or less near 60° dipole latitude (L=4). In contrast to the ‘main trough’ in electron density, Ne, observed primarily as a nightside phenomenon, the light ion trough persists during both day and night. For daytime winter hemisphere conditions and for all seasons during night, the mid latitude light ion concentration decrease is a pronounced feature. In the dayside summer and equinox hemispheres, the rate of light ion decrease with latitude is comparatively gradual, and the trough boundary is less well defined, particularly for quiet magnetic conditions. In response to magnetic storms, the light ion trough minimum moves equatorward, and deepens, consistent with earlier evidence of the contraction of the plasmasphere in response to storm time enhancements in magnetospheric plasma convection. The fact that a pronounced light ion trough is observed under conditions for which the dominant ion O+ may exhibit little or no simultaneous decrease appears to explain why earlier studies of the ‘main trough’ in topside distributions of Ne and Ni may, at times, have been inconclusive in relating the total ionization minimum with the mechanism of the plasmapause. In particular, the topside distribution of Ni appears to be the complex resultant of several variables within the ion composition, being governed by the competing processes of chemical production and loss, loss through magnetospheric convection, and large-scale dynamic transport resulting from neutral winds and electric fields. The net result is that in general, the light ion trough, rather than Ni, provides a more fundamental parameter for examining the structure and behavior of the plasmapause.  相似文献

Two colour (B and V) photoelectric observations of EB-type eclipsing binary GO Cyg were carried out for 15 nights during October and December 1996. Three new times of minimum lights have been derived. With these and previously published times of minimum lights, a continuous period increase of dP/dt = 1.51 × 10-7 d yr-1 was estimated from the quadratic light element. B and V light curves have been analyzed by the method of the Wilson and Devinney Differential Correction. GO Cyg is confirmed to belong to the group of near contact systems based on light curve analysis and its absolute dimensions. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The phase space of a light quantum in a given volume is subdivided into “cells” of magnitudeh 3. The number of possible distributions of the light quanta of a macroscopically defined radiation over these cells gives the entropy and with it all thermodynamic properties of the radiation.  相似文献

New photometric data of the light curve of the minor planet (89) Julia were obtained on nine nights during the 1972 opposition using the 60cm telescope at OHP. A synodic period of 11h23m14s ± 7s and an amplitude of 0.25mag were derived from the measurements. The light curve is rather unsymmetric and no plausible explanation for this has been offered so far. The measurements have been carried out in instrumental V′; the data obtained in B′ and U′ supplement all conclusions from V′ data concerning the rotation of Julia.  相似文献

Abstract— Nitrogen and noble gas isotopic compositions and C abundance of ureilites were analyzed using a stepwise combustion technique. Four Antarctic ureilites, ALHA77257, Asuka 881931, Yamato 791538 and Yamato 790981 were analyzed. Multiple N isotopic components were observed in these ureilites. The δ15N values of these N components ranged from +160 to ?120%. The minimum δ15N values of typically ?120% were observed at combustion temperatures at 700–900 °C where large amounts of C were released. A heavy N component was observed in only two ureilites, ALHA77257 and Asuka 881931. Silicate-enriched fractions and C-concentrated fractions were prepared for these two ureilites. We conclude that both the light N and the heavy N are trapped in the carbonaceous vein minerals. The lack of correction between the N/C ratio and the 36Ar/C ratio suggests that the primary carrier phase of the light N does not correspond to that of the planetary noble gases. We consider that the isotopically heavy N, which was observed in this study, is related to the heavy N observed among polymict ureilites. Small amounts (<0.5 ppm) of light N with the minimum δ15N value of ?120% were observed among the silicate fractions at the highest combustion temperature of 1200 °C, although the exact carrier phase of this light N is not known. We consider that the currently observed ureilites were produced by injection of several volatile-rich objects into volatile-poor ureilitic silicates.  相似文献

B andV observations of the suspected variable BV 690 = NSV 04298 are reported. The star shows light variations with a period of ld.2400 and with amplitudes of 0m.27, 0m.36 and 0m.11 inV, B, andB-V respectively. The light curves show steeper rise than decline, and there is evidence for the presence of a bump in the descending branch around the phase of 0.35. From considerations of the period, spectral type, presence of the bump and high tangential velocity we conclude that BV 690 belongs to the BL Herculis class of Typen Cepheids  相似文献

A new method has been developed by Kopal (1977c, Paper XII) to make use of expressions for the fractional loss of light 0 l of the arbitrarily limb-darkened stars in the form of Hankel transforms of zero-order, in order to evaluate the explicit forms of the 0 l s for different types of eclipse, as well as of the momentsA 2m of the respective light curves in a closed form. The automated method has been tested successfully on the light curves of RT Persei. Also, a photometric curve fit of RT Persei is investigated by application of numerical quadratures to determine the theoretical light curve appropriate for the Roche model. Finally a comparative discussion is given of various methods of light curve analaysis.On leave from Department of Physics, University of Ferdowsi, Mashad, Iran.  相似文献

Measurements of the relative abundance of cosmic isotopes and of the energy dependence of their fluxes may clarify our present understanding on the confinement time of charged cosmic rays in the Galaxy. Experimental studies of these propagation clocks have been carried out by balloon and space missions at energies of a few 100 MeV/amu by means of detection techniques based on multiple dE/dx sampling, coupled with a measurement of the energy released in a thick absorber. At larger energies, the isotopic separation of light nuclei (as, for instance,9Be/10Be) can be achieved by combining a precise measurement of the particle’s rigidity with an high resolution determination of its velocity, via the observation of the Cherenkov effect in a radiator.In this paper, we propose the introduction - for the first time in a space experiment - of the DIRC technique (Detection of Internal Reflected Cherenkov light) for the identification of cosmic-ray isotopes. This type of detector has been successfully used in electron-positron colliders for particle identification and in particular for π-K separation. While for particles with unit charge the light yield is a limiting factor, in the case of a nucleus of charge Z the larger photostatistics (due to the Z2 dependence of Cherenkov light emission) is the key to reach an adequate angular resolution to provide a mass discrimination for isotopes of astrophysical interest. We report on the early development phase of a DIRC prototype with a focussing scheme (FDIRC) to collect the Cherenkov light onto a detector plane instrumented with a Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) array.  相似文献

We studied three lithologies (light and dark chondritic and impact melt rock) differing in shock stage from the LL5 chondrite Chelyabinsk. Using the 40Ar-39Ar dating technique, we identified low- and high-temperature reservoirs within all samples, ascribed to K-bearing oligoclase feldspar and shock-induced jadeite–feldspar glass assemblages in melt veins, respectively. Trapped argon components had variable 40Ar/36Ar ratios even within low- and high-temperature reservoirs of individual samples. Correcting for trapped argon revealed a lithology-specific response of the K-Ar system to shock metamorphism, thereby defining two distinct impact events affecting the Chelyabinsk parent asteroid (1) an intense impact event ~1.7 ± 0.1 Ga ago formed the light–dark-structured and impact-veined Chelyabinsk breccia. Such a one-stage breccia formation is consistent with petrological observations and was recorded by the strongly shocked lithologies (dark and impact melt) where a significant fraction of oligoclase feldspar was transformed into jadeite and feldspathic glass; and (2) a young reset event ~30 Ma ago particularly affected the light lithology due to its low argon retentivity, while the more retentive shock-induced phases were more resistant against thermal reset. Trapped argon with 40Ar/36Ar ratios up to 1900 was likely incorporated during impact-induced events on the parent body, and mixed with terrestrial atmospheric argon contamination. Had it not been identified via isochrons based on high-resolution argon extraction, several geochronologically meaningless ages would have been deduced.  相似文献
