An analysis of the data concerning high-velocity stars from Eggen's catalogue aimed at a determination of the approximate slope of the mass function for the spherical component of our Galaxy, and at estimating the local circular velocity, as well as the local rotation velocity, as by-products, has been performed. Our conclusions are that:
- A linear dependence of the mass on the radius is very likely;
- the value of the limiting radius is most likely equal to (40±10) kpc;
- the two local velocities are approximately equal to each other, being both equal to (230±30) km s?1;
- the local escape velocity appears to be most likely equal to (520±30) km s?1;
- the total mass of a corona, obtained in this way, is (5±1)×1011 M ⊙.

We examine the propagation of Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere. The principal theoretical virtues of this work are: (i) The full wave equation is solved without recourse to the small-wavelength eikonal approximation (ii) The background solar atmosphere is realistic, consisting of an HSRA/VAL representation of the photosphere and chromosphere, a 200 km thick transition region, a model for the upper transition region below a coronal hole (provided by R. Munro), and the Munro-Jackson model of a polar coronal hole. The principal results are:
- If the wave source is taken to be near the top of the convection zone, where n H = 5.2 × 1016 cm?3, and if B ⊙ = 10.5 G, then the wave Poynting flux exhibits a series of strong resonant peaks at periods downwards from 1.6 hr. The resonant frequencies are in the ratios of the zeroes of J 0, but depend on B ⊙, and on the density and scale height at the wave source. The longest period peaks may be the most important, because they are nearest to the supergranular periods and to the observed periods near 1 AU, and because they are the broadest in frequency.
- The Poynting flux in the resonant peaks can be large enough, i.e. P ⊙ ≈ 104–105 erg cm?2s?1, to strongly affect the solar wind.
- ¦δv¦ and ¦δB¦ also display resonant peaks.
- In the chromosphere and low corona, ¦δv ≈ 7–25 kms?1 and ¦δB¦ ≈0.3–1.0 G if P ⊙≈104-105 erg cm?2s?1.
- The dependences of ¦δv¦ and ¦δB¦ on height are reduced by finite wavelength effects, except near the wave source where they are enhanced.
- Near the base, ¦δB¦ ≈ 350–1200 G if P ⊙ ～- 104–105. This means that nonlinear effects may be important, and that some density and vertical velocity fluctuations may be associated with the Alfvén waves.
- Below the low corona most wave energy is kinetic, except near the base where it becomes mostly magnetic at the resonances.
- ?0 < δv 2 > v A or < δB 2 > v A/4π are not good estimators of the energy flux.
- The Alfvén wave pressure tensor will be important in the transition region only if the magnetic field diverges rapidly. But the Alfvén wave pressure can be important in the coronal hole.

We used merger trees realizations, predicted by the extended Press-Schechter theory, in order to study the growth of angular momentum of dark matter haloes. Our results showed that:
- The spin parameter λ′ resulting from the above method, is an increasing function of the present day mass of the halo. The mean value of λ′ varies from 0.0343 to 0.0484 for haloes with present day masses in the range of 109h?1 M ⊙ to 1014h?1 M ⊙.
- The distribution of λ′ is close to a log-normal, but, as it is already found in the results of N-body simulations, the match is not satisfactory at the tails of the distribution. A new analytical formula that approximates the results much more satisfactorily is presented.
- The distribution of the values of λ′ depends only weakly on the redshift.
- The spin parameter of an halo depends on the number of recent major mergers. Specifically the spin parameter is an increasing function of this number.

We have investigated how the gradients of temperature and expansion velocities will change the emergent profiles from an extended medium in spherical symmetry. Variation of the source function and expansion velocities are assumed. The following variations of temperature are employed:
- T(r) ; T0 (isothermal case)
- T(r) ; T0(r/r0)1/2
- T(r) ; T0(r/r0)-1
- T(r) ; T0(r/r0)-2
- T(r) ; T0(r/r0)-3

In this paper we relate two methods of analyzing the kinematic parameters of the local macroscopic motions of the Galaxy:
- The Ogorodnikov-Milne model (OM) that consists in the three-dimensional Taylor expansion of the mean velocity field.
- The two-dimensional spherical harmonic development of the velocity components (SH). We present the theoretical relations between the SH coefficients and the second-order OM ones for the radial velocityv r and the galactic heliocentric components of the velocityU, V, W. Only the hypothesis of separability of the stellar density function of the sample into angular and radial parts is needed. Also, we apply them to 4732 A-M stars included in the Figueras (1986) sample.

The radio emission of a selected number of solar active regions has been investigated with high angular resolution at two frequencies: 10 and 17 GHz. By comparing the results of the two observations the following conclusions can be drawn:
- The brightness temperature distribution of an active region is often composed of very bright cores of small dimension (angular extent θ?20″) imbedded in extended halos of lower brightness.
- The radio emission of such structures as well as the degree of polarization can be explained with a thermal process. The halos can originate by pure thermal bremsstrahlung while in the case of the very bright cores found at 10 GHz (brightness temperature T b?1–9 × 106K) the emission at the harmonics of the gyrofrequency is needed.

In this paper we review the drift theory of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields. No new physical interpretations are added to this classical topic, but through an alternative, simplified derivation of the guiding centre velocity, several complexities are eliminated and possible misconceptions of the theory are clarified. It is shown that:
- The curvature/gradient drift velocity in the magnetic field, averaged over a particle distribution function is to lowest order in the direction of?×B/B 2, while the average particle velocity is in the direction ofB×? P withP the scalar particle pressure.
- These drift directions are correct for first-order expansions of the particle distribution function, and only second-order or higher expansions change these directions.
- The?×B/B 2 drift, which is the standard gradient plus curvature drift, and which is usually considered as a ‘single particle’ drift, need not be ‘reconciled’ with theB×? P, or ‘macroscopic, collective’ drift, as is often asserted in the literature. They are in fact related per definition and we show how.
- When viewed in fixed momentum intervals (p,p+dp), the so-called Compton-Getting factor enters into the electric field (E×B)/B 2 drift term.
- The results are independent of the scale length of variation ofE andB, in contrast to existing drift theory. We discuss the implications of this result for three important cases.

New computations of massive stars follow the evolution up to advanced stages and include: -A large and flexible nuclear network consisting of 174 nuclear species that are linked by 1742 nuclear reactions. -Semiconvection, overshooting and mass loss. -Modern rates for both strong and weak interaction processes as well as the latest rates for the neutrino processes. -Improved grid distribution and a large number of grid points. The nuclear network and the diffusion equation are solved for each time step during the whole evolution. In this way the accuracy of nuclear yields and chemical abundances are mainly limited by uncertainties in the diffusion coefficient found from the convection theories. Several instability mechanisms may affect the mass loss rates of massive stars and thereby the structure and abundances of WR stars. Due to heavy mass loss at the LBV and WR stages, the masses at the pre-SN stage may be less than 5M ⊙. Yields and abundances throughout the stars are discussed together with the amount of all elements expelled. 相似文献

Hot spots similar to those in the radio galaxy Cygnus A can be explained by the strong shock produced by a supersonic but classical jet \(\left( {u_{jet}< c/\sqrt 3 } \right)\) . The high integrated radio luminosity (L?2×1044 erg s?1) and the strength of mean magnetic field (B?2×10?4 G) suggest the hot spots are the downstream flow of a very strong shock which generates the ultrarelativistic electrons of energy ?≥20 MeV. The fully-developed subsonic turbulence amplifies the magnetic field of the jet up to 1.6×10?4 G by the dynamo effect. If we assume that the post-shock pressure is dominated by relativistic particles, the ratio between the magnetic energy density to the energy density in relativistic particles is found to be ?2×10?2, showing that the generally accepted hypothesis of equipartition is not valid for hot spots. The current analysis allows the determination of physical parameters inside hot spots. It is found that:
- The velocity of the upstream flow in the frame of reference of the shock isu 1?0.2c. Radio observations indicate that the velocity of separation of hot spots isu sep?0.05c, so that the velocity of the jet isu jet=u 1+u sep?0.25c.
- The density of the thermal electrons inside the hot spot isn 2?5×10?3 e ? cm?3 and the mass ejected per year to power the hot spot is ?4M 0yr?1.
- The relativistic electron density is less than 20% of the thermal electron density inside the hot spot and the spectrum is a power law which continues to energies as low as 30 MeV.
- The energy density of relativistic protons is lower than the energy density of relativistic electrons unlike the situation for cosmic rays in the Galaxy.

The main results of a study of a catalogue of physical parameters of 1041 spectroscopic binaries are presented. The distribution of spectroscopic binaries over all main parametersM 1, a, e, M1/M2, P, and certain dependencies between some of them have been found.
- It appears that among bright (m v?3 m –5 m ) stars withM?1M ⊙, about 40% are apparently spectroscopic binaries with comparable masses of components.
- The majority of spectroscopic binaries with the ratio of the large semiaxis of the orbit to the radius of the primarya/R 1?20, have eccentricities close to zero. This is probably a consequence of the tidal circularization of orbits of close binaries by viscous friction.
- The discovery of duplicity of double-line spectroscopic binaries is possible only if the semiamplitude of radial velocityK 1 is almost 10 times higher than the semiamplitude of the radial velocity of a single-line spectroscopic binary of the same mass.
- Double-line spectroscopic binaries witha/R ⊙?6(M 1/M ⊙)1/3,M 1≈M 2?1.5M ⊙ are almost almost absent, and the number of stars witha/R ⊙?6(M 1/M ⊙)1/3,M 1≈1.5M ⊙ is relatively low.
- The distribution of unevolved SB stars over the large semiaxis may be described by the expression d(N d/Nt)≈0.2 d loga for 6(M 1/M ⊙)1/3?a/R ⊙?100.
- The intial mass-function for primaries of spectroscopic binaries is the same Salpeter function dN d≈M 1 ?2.35 dM 1 for 1?M 1/M ⊙?30.
- It is possible to explain the observed ratio of the number of single-line spectroscopic binaries to the number of double-line binaries if one assumes that the average initial mass ratio is close to 1 and that the mass of the postmass-exchange remnant of the primary exceeds the theoretical one and/or that half of the angular momentum of the system is lost during mass-exchange.
- The above-mentioned distributions ofM 1 anda and assumptions on the mass of remnant and/or momentum loss also allow us to explain the observed shapes of dN/dM, dN/dq, and dN/da distributions after some selection effects are taken into account.

After adding the data observed in the years from 1979 to 1982 to those obtained earlier (Ding et al., 1981), we re-examine the previous results and conclude:
- The longitudinal distribution of spiral spots on the solar disc is generally the same as that of sunspot groups with areas of S p ≥ 400, but their active longitudes seem to be more concentrated.
- The distribution of spiral patterns in the southern and northern hemispheres shows that the differential rotation may be a fundamental solar dynamo for the formation of the spiral spots.
- The statistical directions of the emerging twisted magnetic vectors in the active regions in the southern and northern hemispheres are synchronously inverse with a period of about two years. This period seems to be detected in other solar observations.

We investigate the ‘equilibrium’ and stability of spherically-symmetric self-similar isothermal blast waves with a continuous post-shock flow velocity expanding into medium whose density varies asr ?ω ahead of the blast wave, and which are powered by a central source (a pulsar) whose power output varies with time ast ω?3. We show that:
- for ω<0, no physically acceptable self-similar solution exists;
- for ω>3, no solution exists since the mass swept up by the blast wave is infinite;
- ? must exceed zero in order that the blast wave expand with time, but ?<2 in order that the central source injects a finite total energy into the blast wave;
- for 3>ωmin(?)>ω>ωmax(?)>0, where $$\begin{gathered} \omega _{\min } (\varphi ){\text{ }} = {\text{ }}2[5{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}\varphi {\text{ }} + {\text{ }}(10{\text{ }} + {\text{ 4}}\varphi {\text{ }} - {\text{ 2}}\varphi ^2 )^{1/2} ]^2 [2{\text{ }} + {\text{ (10 }} + {\text{ 4}}\varphi {\text{ }} - {\text{ 2}}\varphi ^2 {\text{)}}^{{\text{1/2}}} ]^{ - 2} , \hfill \\ \omega _{\max } (\varphi ){\text{ }} = {\text{ }}2[5{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}\varphi {\text{ }} - {\text{ }}(10{\text{ }} + {\text{ 4}}\varphi {\text{ }} - {\text{ 2}}\varphi ^2 )^{1/2} ]^2 [2{\text{ }} - {\text{ (10 }} + {\text{ 4}}\varphi {\text{ }} - {\text{ 2}}\varphi ^2 {\text{)}}^{{\text{1/2}}} ]^{ - 2} , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ two critical points exist in the flow velocity versus position plane. The physically acceptable solution must pass through the origin with zero flow speed and through the blast wave. It must also pass throughboth critical points if \(\varphi > \tfrac{5}{3}\) , while if \(\varphi< \tfrac{5}{3}\) it must by-pass both critical points. It is shown that such a solution exists but a proper connection at the lower critical point (for ?>5/3) (through whichall solutions pass with thesame slope) has not been established;
- for 3>ω>ωmin(?) it is shown that the two critical points of (iv) disappear. However a new pair of critical points form. The physically acceptable solution passing with zero flow velocity through the origin and also passing through the blast wave mustby-pass both of the new critical points. It is shown that the solution does indeed do so;
- for 3>ωmin(?)>ωmax(?)>ω it is shown that the dependence of the self-similar solution on either ω or ? is non-analytic and therefore, inferences drawn from any solutions obtained in ω>ωmax(?) (where the dependence of the solutionis analytic on ω and ?) are not valid when carried over into the domain 3>ωmin(?)>ωmax(?)>ω;
- all of the physically acceptable self-similar solutions obtained in 3>ω>0 are unstable to short wavelength, small amplitude but nonself-similar radial velocity perturbations near the origin, with a growth which is a power law in time;
- the physical self-similar solutions are globally unstable in a fully nonlinear sense to radial time-dependent flow patterns. In the limit of long times, the nonlinear growth is a power law in time for 5<ω+2?, logarithmic in time for 5>ω+2?, and the square of the logarithm in time for 5=ω+2?.

The Weinberg relation (which connects the Hubble constantH to the mass of a typical elementary particle) is an empirical relation hitherto unexplained. I suggest an explanation based on the Zel'dovich energy tensor of vacuum in a Robertson-Walker universe with constant deceleration parameter,q = const. This model leads to
- the Weinberg relation,
- a varying cosmological term Λ scaling asH 2,
- a varying gravitational constantG scaling asH,
- a matter creation process throughout the universe at the rate 10?47 g s?1 cm3,
- a deceleration parameter in the range -1 to 1/2, which allows a horizon-free universe and makes the lawG/H = constant, consistent with the Viking lander data on the orbit of planet Mars.

The jet/grain model proposed by Ramatyet al. (1984, hereafter abbreviated as RKL) for production of the narrow gamma-ray lines reported from SS433 is examined and shown to be untenable on numerous grounds. Most importantly:
- The huge Coulomb collisional losses (W c?2×1041 erg s?1) from the jet, which would necessarily accompany non-thermal production of the gamma rays, demands a jet acceleration/collimation process acting over a very long range and with a power at least 102 times the Eddington limit for any stellar object.
- There is a collisional thick target limit (irrespective of jet mass) to the gamma ray yield per interstellar proton. Consequently, the gamma-ray data demand an improbably high interstellar density (?109 cm?3).
- For the grains to be kept cool enough (?3000 K) to survive the heating rateW c either by radiation or jet expansion would demand a ‘jet’ wider than its length and so inconsistent with narrow lines. In the case of radiative cooling, the resultant IR flux would exceed the observed values by a factor ?104.
- Light scattered on the jet grain mass required would be highly polarized, contrary to observations, unless the jet was optically thick to grains, again precluding their radiative cooling.
- To avoid unacceptable precessional broadening of the gamma-ray lines demands an emitting jet length ?0.5 days atv=0.26c. This increases the necessary mass loss rate by a factor ?10 over the values obtained by RKL who assumed a 4-day ‘flare’.
- The model also predicts rest energy gamma-ray lines which are not observed.

The law of rotation as well as the corresponding meridional circulations in the hydrogen convection zone (HCZ) are investigated by solving numerically the time independent Navier-Stokes equations. The HCZ is assumed to be a spherical layer of fluid with constant density and viscosity. It is assumed further that the viscosity is caused by unisotropic turbulent motions.The results show differential rotation together with circulations. The detailed behaviour depends on a parameters characterizing the nonisotropic friction and on the kinematic viscosityv. If the friction is larger in radial direction than in lateral directions (0 s < 1) the poles rotate faster than the equator and the circulation rises at the equator and falls at the poles; if friction is smaller in radial direction (s > 1) the equator rotates faster and the sense of the circulation is reversed. The differential rotation observed at the solar surface is obtained for the values = 1.2.For small values ofv the angular velocity is constant on cylindrical surfaces, for large values ofv it is constant on spherical surfaces. The solar law of rotation turns out to be very close to the first case.Based on the author's Thesis in Göttingen. 相似文献

The interaction of rotation and turbulent convection is assumed to give rise to an inhomogeneous, but isotropic, latitude dependent turbulent energy transport, which is described by a convective conduction coefficient
c which varies with latitude. Energy balance in the convective zone is then possible only with a slow meridian circulation in the outer convective zone of the sun. The angular momentum transported by this circulation is balanced in a steady state by turbulent viscous transport down an angular velocity gradient. A detailed model is constructed allowing for the transition from convective transport to radiative transport at the boundaries of the convective zone, by using a perturbation analysis in which the latitude variation of
c is small. The solution for a thin compressible shell gives equatorial acceleration and a hotter equator than pole, assuming that the convection is preferentially stabilised at the equator. For agreement with the sun's equatorial acceleration the model predicts an equatorial temperature excess of 70 K and a surface meridional velocity of 350 cm/sec from pole to equator. 相似文献

We present a broad range of complementary observations of the onset and impulsive phase of a fairly large (1B, M1.2) but simple two-ribbon flare. The observations consist of hard X-ray flux measured by the SMM HXRBS, high-sensitivity measurements of microwave flux at 22 GHz from Itapetinga Radio Observatory, sequences of spectroheliograms in UV emission lines from Ov (T ≈ 2 × 105 K) and Fexxi (T ≈ 1 × 107 K) from the SMM UVSP, Hα and Hei D3 cine-filtergrams from Big Bear Solar Observatory, and a magnetogram of the flare region from the MSFC Solar Observatory. From these data we conclude:
- The overall magnetic field configuration in which the flare occurred was a fairly simple, closed arch containing nonpotential substructure.
- The flare occurred spontaneously within the arch; it was not triggered by emerging magnetic flux.
- The impulsive energy release occurred in two major spikes. The second spike took place within the flare arch heated in the first spike, but was concentrated on a different subset of field lines. The ratio of Ov emission to hard X-ray emission decreased by at least a factor of 2 from the first spike to the second, probably because the plasma density in the flare arch had increased by chromospheric evaporation.
- The impulsive energy release most likely occurred in the upper part of the arch; it had three immediate products:
- An increase in the plasma pressure throughout the flare arch of at least a factor of 10. This is required because the Fexxi emission was confined to the feet of the flare arch for at least the first minute of the impulsive phase.
- Nonthermal energetic (～ 25 keV) electrons which impacted the feet of the arch to produce the hard X-ray burst and impulsive brightening in Ov and D3. The evidence for this is the simultaneity, within ± 2 s, of the peak Ov and hard X-ray emissions.
- Another population of high-energy (～100keV) electrons (decoupled from the population that produced the hard X-rays) that produced the impulsive microwave emission at 22 GHz. This conclusion is drawn because the microwave peak was 6 ± 3 s later than the hard X-ray peak.

This paper outlines the problems of the quasi-steady matter-antimatter boundary layers discussed in Klein-Alfvén's cosmological theory, and a crude model of the corresponding ambiplasma balance is presented:
- At interstellar particle densities, no well-defined boundary layer can exist in presence of neutral gas, nor can such a layer be sustained in an unmagnetized fully ionized ambiplasma.
- Within the limits of applicability of the present model, sharply defined boundary layers are under certain conditions found to exist in a magnetized ambiplasma. Thus, at beta values less than unity, a steep pressure drop of the low-energy components of matter and antimatter can be balanced by a magnetic field and the electric currents in the ambiplasma.
- The boundary layer thickness is of the order of 2x 0?10/BT 0 1/4 metres, whereB is the magnetic field strength in MKS units andT 0 the characteristic temperature of the low-energy components in the layer.
