Many asteroids with a semimajor axis close to that of Mars have been discovered in the last several years. Potentially some of these could be in 1:1 resonance with Mars, much as are the classic Trojan asteroids with Jupiter, and its lesser-known horseshoe companions with Earth. In the 1990s, two Trojan companions of Mars, 5261 Eureka and 1998 VF31, were discovered, librating about the L5 Lagrange point, 60° behind Mars in its orbit. Although several other potential Mars Trojans have been identified, our orbital calculations show only one other known asteroid, 1999 UJ7, to be a Trojan, associated with the L4 Lagrange point, 60° ahead of Mars in its orbit. We further find that asteroid 36017 (1999 ND43) is a horseshoe librator, alternating with periods of Trojan motion. This asteroid makes repeated close approaches to Earth and has a chaotic orbit whose behavior can be confidently predicted for less than 3000 years. We identify two objects, 2001 HW15 and 2000 TG2, within the resonant region capable of undergoing what we designate “circulation transition”, in which objects can pass between circulation outside the orbit of Mars and circulation inside it, or vice versa. The eccentricity of the orbit of Mars appears to play an important role in circulation transition and in horseshoe motion. Based on the orbits and on spectroscopic data, the Trojan asteroids of Mars may be primordial bodies, while some co-orbital bodies may be in a temporary state of motion. 相似文献

Previous work on the atmosphere of Uranus is extended to Neptune. The variation of effective temperature with latitude and season is evaluated within the approximations that the redistribution of internal heat in the interior results in the temperature at fixed pressure near the top of the convective region being independent of latitude and time, and that the transport of heat in the atmosphere is by means of radiation and convection. Meridional heat transport in the atmosphere is neglected. It is found that as the absorbed solar flux varies with season the flux of internal heat varies in the opposite sense such that the variation in the sum of the two is much smaller than the variation in either. The resulting variation in the flux radiated out the top of the atmosphere, which responds to the sum of the internal and absorbed solar fluxes, is substantially smaller than for Uranus because of the much larger flux of internal heat. For Neptune, the time-averaged effective temperature at the pole is ≈0.2°K greater than at the equator and the seasonal variation in the polar effective temperature is ≈0.8°K. 相似文献

A series of numerical experiments is carried out to simulate the dynamical evolution of groups of galaxies in different models
of gravitation. The simulation results are compared with observations of the Local Group and of the CenA/M83 and M81/M82 galactic
groups. It is found that the LCDM model and the MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) model are in substantially better agreement
with the observations than the other two models examined here. The dispersion in the velocities relative to Hubble’s law in
these models is small, but the MOND model yields slightly elevated values. For initial conditions close to virial equilibrium,
the mean square deviations in the velocities of the galaxies are ~30 km/s, in agreement with observational estimates. 相似文献

Anonlinear analytical theory of secular perturbations in the problem of the motion of a systemof small bodies around a major attractive center has been developed. Themutual perturbations of the satellites and the influence of the oblateness of the central body are taken into account in the model. In contrast to the classical Laplace-Lagrange theory based on linear equations for Lagrange elements, the third-degree terms in orbital eccentricities and inclinations are taken into account in the equations. The corresponding improvement of the solution turns out to be essential in studying the evolution of orbits over long time intervals. A program inC has been written to calculate the corrections to the fundamental frequencies of the solution and the third-degree secular perturbations in orbital eccentricities and inclinations. The proposed method has been applied to investigate the motion of the major Uranian satellites. Over time intervals longer than 100 years, allowance for the nonlinear terms in the equations is shown to give corrections to the coordinates of Miranda on the order of the orbital eccentricity, which is several thousand kilometers in linear measure. For other satellites, the effect of allowance for the nonlinear terms turns out to be smaller. Obviously, when a general analytical theory of motion for the major Uranian satellites is constructed, the nonlinear terms in the equations for the secular perturbations should be taken into account. 相似文献

The results of photoelectric observations of MWC 342 in Strömgren's system are given. The resulting light curves show a relatively rapid rise in brightness over 3-4 days and than a fading with a secondary minimum and maximum over 12-13 days. We note that in 1989 the star became bluer in the Paschen continuum and redder in the ultraviolet during fading, while in 1993 the star became bluer in the ultraviolet during fading but the star's color in the Paschen continuum remained virtually constant. Two possible mechanisms of the brightness variations of MWC 342 are considered: variable emission intensity of the gaseous envelope and an eclipse by the circumstellar dust medium. Qualitative estimates showed that the set of observed characteristics of MWC 342 cannot be explained by each of these mechanisms separately. 相似文献

The potential energy of clusters of stars in which the distribution of matter is taken to be continuous is compared with that of static model clusters in which the distribution of matter is discrete, the comparison being made from the point of view of applying the virial theorem to estimate the masses of the clusters. There is good agreement on the average between the two cases as long as the stellar distribution is random. Systematic differences occur whenever there is any departure from randomness. However, reduction of the mass of a cluster as estimated by means of the virial theorem by even as much as a factor of 2 on the average would seem to require even greater departures from randomness in the stellar distribution than are considered here. As might be expected there are sometimes very large fluctuations in the potential energy from one cluster to the next in the discrete case.Contributions of the Louisiana State University Observatory, No. 30. 相似文献

This paper deals with the observed variation in the flattening of galaxies with the density of galaxies in the subclusters
of Coma surrounding NGC 4889, NGC 4874, and NGC 4839 based on data from the Abastumani Combined Catalog of Galaxies. The mean
values of the observed ratios of the diameters of the galaxies, as well as histograms of their distributions, indicate that

Mpc3, E and S0 type galaxies are close to spheroidal. A significant reduction in the mean values of the diameters of the galaxies
in the subclusters is noted, regardless of their morphology relative to the galaxies in the halo of the Coma cluster. In the
subclusters, spiral galaxies are found with a hydrogen deficit that is more than 5 times the hydrogen deficit in spirals within
the halo of the cluster. According to their 3-D coordinates, most of the galaxies with a hydrogen deficit are located closer
to the south-east edge of the subcluster surrounding NGC 4874 near an extended gas filament in the x-ray region. This may
indicate that the subcluster is moving toward a central condensation of faint galaxies in the Coma cluster and a possible
merger with it.

The sets of photographic observations of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter taken at the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of Georgia are analyzed here. Positional observations of the system of Jupiter were made in the period from 1985 to 1994 with the use of the double Zeiss astrograph in order to determine the exact coordinates of Jupiter and its satellites. The accurate positions of the satellites and Jupiter itself, as well as their stellar (equatorial) coordinates relative to the stars of the currently available catalogs and the relative ??satellite ?? satellite?? coordinates were obtained from the observations. From the comparison of the observation results with the modern theories of motion of satellites, the accuracy in determining the positions of the satellites and Jupiter was analyzed. The results of observations are presented in the Pulkovo database of observations of Solar System bodies that is accessible to users at http://www.puldb.ru. 相似文献

The photospheric, chromospheric, and magnetic field structure of large active region No. 18474 of July 1982 are studied. Various morphological features observed are described and their possible role in the evolution of sunspots group discussed. The abundance of different light bridges is a characteristic feature for this group. It is shown that the light bridges in the photosphere coincide with the location and direction of arch filaments or fibril streams in the chromosphere, and appear in the region of a developing rotating magnetic field. 相似文献

A modern aureole photometer (AP) was developed for the site survey inWest China, in preparation for the installation of future large solar equipments. The performance of this new AP was tested in preliminary observations, and a lot of sky brightness data were accumulated at a few sites in Yunnan Province. The result of data analysis shows that the aureole near the noon time on Jiaozi Snow Mountain is as low as a few millionths of the intensity at the solar disk center, indicating the low internal stray light level of our instrument. The internal stray light of the AP comes mainly from two parts: the edge diffraction of the ferrule for fixing the ND4 filter in the front end of the telescope tube, causing the stray light distributed in the inner region of the field of view, and the edge diffractions of the diaphragms placed inside the telescope tube, causing the stray light distributed in the outer region of the field of view. In order to suppress the stray light of the latter part, the experiment to change the aperture size of an additional diaphragm was performed. The result shows that the stray light in the outer region of the field of view can be effectively suppressed by reducing properly the aperture size of the diaphragm. 相似文献

It is shown in the paper that the mechanism of superrotation of the atmosphere of Venus consists of several interrelated processes,
including the transport of angular momentum from the solid planet to the atmosphere at a wind flow over the planet’s surface
relief, the upward transport of momentum by threedimensional turbulent vortices, the inverse energy cascade in a large-scale
quasi-two-dimensional flow, and the horizontal transfer of angular momentum in the Hadley cell. These processes make different
contributions to the superrotation at different altitudes. 相似文献

The analysis of regions of convergence of expansions of the right-hand sides of the differential equations of motion in the vicinity of the collinear libration points in the circular restricted three-body problem in powers of coordinates of the infinitesimal body due to F. R. Moulton (Moulton, 1920) is shown to be erroneous and his results are corrected. The generalisation of Moulton's results to analogous expansions of the equations in the elliptic problem of three bodies made by R. W. Farquhar (Farquhar, 1968) is shown to be groundless. 相似文献

Molecular nitrogen, the main component of the modern atmosphere of Titan, may have formed without significant changes in the
nitrogen and hydrogen isotopic composition from the clathrate hydrate of ammonia NH3 · H2OSLD, which is the main accreted form of nitrogen. The most preferable transformation mechanism of NH3 · H2OSLD into atmospheric N2 is its thermal decomposition in the interior of Titan rather than the photochemical decomposition of ammonia in the upper
atmosphere of early Titan. The photolysis of ammonia does not lead to a change in the isotopic composition of nitrogen, as
all the nitrogen remains in Titan’s atmosphere. The photolysis of NH does not lead to a change in the isotopic composition
of nitrogen in Titan’s atmosphere. Fractionation of hydrogen and nitrogen isotopes during the impacts of comets with Titan
does not seem to be significant either. It will be possible to determine the dissociative fractionation factor, the original
ratio 14N/15N, and the mass of Titan’s original atmosphere when fractionation of nitrogen isotopes in Titan’s atmosphere is examined in
additional theoretical and experimental studies that take into account processes occurring during the formation of a system
of Saturn’s satellites. 相似文献

Exact formulas are derived for calculating the correction for phase to the central meridian longitude and the latitude of the center of the illuminated part of the visible disk of a spherical planet in projection onto the plane of the sky. The range of possible values of the phase correction to the central meridian longitude is determined. The proposed formulas are valid for any planet's orientation with respect to the Earth and Sun and allow a transition, in planetocentric coordinates, from the center of the geometric disk of a spherical planet to the center of the illuminated part of the planet's visible disk. The reduction formulas are derived for direct and inverse transitions between the two aforementioned points of the planetary disk in geocentric equatorial coordinates. The examples of special cases of illumination of visible disks of planets in specific ephemeris are given. 相似文献

We discuss footpoints of loops seen by Yohkoh in soft X-rays that connect active regions across the equator (transequatorial interconnecting loops – TILs). While most TILs are rooted in moderately strong fields at peripheries of active regions, there are also cases when these loops are anchored in very weak or very strong fields, ranging from < 30 G to several hundred gauss. Some have their footpoints near sunspot penumbrae, creating `X-ray fountains' in a combination with active region loops. But TILs are never rooted in sunspots. The most likely explanation is that magnetic field lines leave spots almost vertically so that TILs rooted in them extend high into the corona and density in them is below the limit of visibility in X-rays. The fact that in force-free modeling some TILs are rooted in sunspots is most probably due to the difference between field-line connections in `vacuum' and in the highly conductive plasma on the Sun. Some TILs end before they reach active regions which sometimes may indicate the real situation, but mostly this `gap' is probably due to a temperature decrease near the loop footpoints which makes them invisible in X-rays. In that case the fact that these cool lowest parts of TILs are never found in TRACE or SOHO EIT images indicates that plasma density in TILs must be very low. Still, the total absence of any counterparts of X-ray TILs in TRACE and EIT images is puzzling and, therefore, other possible interpretations of the `gap' origin are also briefly mentioned. 相似文献

The formation of the solar system is considered from the physico-chemical point of view. The main role in the process is ascribed to heavy metals and to the surface tension that had arisen as a result of appearance of a liquid layer of fused substance in the equatorial region of the protostar. The formation of the liquid layer was caused by the transfer of fused substance droplets under the action of centrifugal forces in the direction of the protostar surface. Due to the surface tension the prevalence of the centrifugal forces over the gravitational ones was able to reach the value when the density differentiation of the substance began to take place under the effect of the centrifugal forces, and accumulation of heavy metals proceeded in outermost equatorial region of the protostar. As a result the disk has been formed and a liquid ring was separated from the protostar. Later explosions on the young Sun sent parts of the hardened ring which possessed the first cosmic velocity to different distances away from the Sun. In such a way planets, their satellites, asteroids, meteorites and comets were formed. The physical characteristics of planets, the parameters of their orbits, and the data on the structure of meteorites are consistent with ideas developed in the paper. 相似文献

Although the opposition phenomena observed in brightness and polarization for various astronomical objects and laboratory samples have been under intense study for many years, their explanation is still far from being complete. The shadow hiding and coherent backscattering effects are mentioned most frequently in this connection. In the present work we first discuss how other coherent scattering mechanisms, in particular interference and interaction between scatterers in the near field, influence brightness and polarization of complex ensembles of particles at small phase angles. Then we demonstrate the contribution of the different mechanisms to the scattering process in a model regolith described as an ensemble of wavelength-sized clusters as constituents. While the clusters are always densely packed, the porosity of the ensemble itself, i.e., the average distances between the clusters within the ensemble, is allowed to vary. The modeling confirms that the phase dependence of intensity and polarization of light scattered by complex structures in the backscattering domain is mainly caused by the interplay of (1) the constructive interference of waves traveling through the particle ensemble along similar paths but in opposite directions and (2) the near-field effect caused by the inhomogeneity of waves in the immediate vicinity of constituent particles. The first mechanism works more effectively in sparse ensembles, while the second one manifests itself in more compact structures of wavelength-sized scatterers at distances comparable to the wavelength. It is difficult to distinguish quantitatively their contributions in models of simple structures and even more in measurements. A number of observations, especially of moderate and low albedo objects, can, however, be explained only by invoking the near-field effect. 相似文献

The mechanism of brightness outbursts of comets based on selective absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation by hydrogen atoms
in the cometary head is considered. Due to this process, influence of the radiation on parent and daughter molecules in the
near-nucleus region of the cometary head is different. As a result, under certain physical conditions in the cometary coma,
the electronic-temperature increase may cause an outburst in the brightness of the comet. 相似文献
