The absolute cross-sections for the excitation of the 989 Å, 1027 Å, 7990 Å, 8446 Å, 1.1287 μm and 1.3164 μm multiplets of atomic oxygen by electron impact dissociation of O2 are reported. The radiative branching ratios for these transitions are calculated from these results and compared with the NBS compilation of Wiese et al. (1966) and the recent theoretical calculations of Pradhan and Saraph (1977). The cascade models of O+ radiative recombination and of electron-impact excitation of the OI(3S) state in the terrestrial airglow are discussed in the light of the laboratory measurements, and the effects of the resonant absorption of components of the λ 989 Å and λ. 1027 Å multiplets by the Birge-Hopfield band system of N2 are investigated. This process is shown to depend sensitively on the N2 vibrational temperature and to cause characteristic changes in the OI e.u.v. emission spectrum in auroras and in the sunlit F-region at high exospheric temperatures. It is also suggested that the λ 1027 Å radiation observed in auroral spectra is actually due to molecular nitrogen band emission that has been enhanced by entrapment effects and not to the excitation of the 2p 3P-3d 3D0 transition of atomic oxygen as believed previously.  相似文献

A scheme of excitation, quenching, and energy transfer processes in the oxygen nightglow on the Earth, Venus, and Mars has been developed based on the observed nightglow intensities and vertical profiles, measured reaction rate coefficients, and photochemical models of the nighttime atmospheres of the Venus and Mars. The scheme involves improved radiative lifetimes of some band systems, calculated yields of the seven electronic states of O2 in termolecular association, and rate coefficients of seven processes of electronic quenching of the Herzberg states of O2, which are evaluated by fitting to the nightglow observations. Electronic quenching of the vibrationally excited Herzberg states by O2 and N2 in the Earth's nightglow is a quarter of total collisional removal of the O2(A, A′) states and a dominant branch for the O2(c) state. The scheme supports the conclusion by Steadman and Thrush (1994) that the green line is excited by energy transfer from the O2(A3Σu+, v≥6) molecules, and the inferred rate coefficient of this transfer is 1.5×10−11 cm3 s−1. The O2 bands at 762 nm and 1.27 μm are excited directly, by quenching of the Herzberg states, and by energy transfer from the O2(5Πg) state. Quenching of the O2 band at 762 nm excites the band at 1.27 μm as well. Effective yield of the O2(a1Δg) state in termolecular association on Venus and Mars is ∼0.7. Quantitative assessments of all these processes have been made. A possible reaction of O2(c1Σu−)+CO is a very minor branch of recombination of CO2 on Venus and Mars. Night airglow on Mars is calculated for typical conditions of the nighttime atmosphere. The calculated vertical intensity of the O2 band at 1.27 μm is 13 kR, far below the recently reported detections.  相似文献

The C2 molecule is well known for its astrophysical importance. The radiative transition parameters that include Franck-Condon (FC) factor, r-centroid, electronic transition moment, Einstein coefficient, absorption band oscillator strength, effective temperatures and radiative life time have been estimated for the Swan band (d3Πg−a3Πu) system of C2 molecule for experimentally observed vibrational levels using RKR (Rydberg–Klein–Rees) potential energy curve. The lifetime for the d3Πg state of C2 molecule was found to be 82.36 ns for the v′=0 level. A reliable numerical integration method has been used to solve the radial Schrödinger equation for the vibrational wave functions of upper and lower electronic states based on the latest available spectroscopic data and known wavelengths. The estimated radiative transition parameters are tabulated. The effective vibrational temperature of Swan band system of C2 molecule is found agreed with the effective rotational temperature from photosphere spectrum. Hence, the radiative transition parameters and effective temperatures help us to ascertain the presence of C2 molecule in the interstellar medium, photosphere and sunspots.  相似文献

The rates of photodissociation of the OH and OD molecules from absorption of solar radiation in he X2Π-A2Σ+ electronic transition are calculated to lie between 3.5 and 6.7 × 10?6 sec?1 for OH for heliocentric velocities between -60 and +60 km sec?1 and to be about 4.7 × 10?7 sec?1 for OD at 1 AU from the Sun. The corresponding lifetimes, which are upper bounds to the actual lifetimes, are generally consistent with the observational cometary data.  相似文献

Analysis of observed spectrograms is based on comparison with synthetic spectra. The O2(b1Σ+g?X3Σ?g Atm. (1,1) band in high latitude auroras observed from the ground is found to be the strongest in the Δv = 0 sequence. It is enhanced with altitude relative to the N2 1P(2, 0)and N+2 M(2,0) bands, but the O2 Atm. (2, 2) band has an unexpected low intensity. The range of rotational temperatures of the O2 Atm. bands varies from approx. 200 to above 500 K which indicates that the altitude of the centroid of the emission region varies from about 100 km to the F-region. The highest temperature is found in the midday aurora associated with the magnetospheric cusp. Conspicuous relative variations between the intensities of N2 and O2 spectra are documented, but a satisfactory explanation of the variety is not given. Deviations of the observed O2 Atm. band intensities from the vibrational intensity distribution predicted by Franck-Condor factors indicate that the excitation of the O2 Atm. bands in aurora is not mainly due to particle impact on O2, and the contribution due to energy transfer from hot O(1D) atoms has to be found in future research.  相似文献

A new numerical method for the analysis of the high dispersion photospheric spectrum is described. In particular the method is applied to study the C2(0, 0) d 3 Πg-a a Πu molecular band. From measurements of the equivalent widths of C2 lines, a rotational temperature of 4450 ± 305 K is obtained, and the band intensity log W 0 /S 0 = ?0.051 ± 0.101 is found.  相似文献

Far-IR (25-50 μm, 200-400 cm−1) nadir and limb spectra measured during Cassini's four year prime mission by the Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument have been used to determine the abundances of cyanogen (C2N2), methylacetylene (C3H4), and diacetylene (C4H2) in Titan's stratosphere as a function of latitude. All three gases are enriched at northern latitudes, consistent with north polar subsidence. C4H2 abundances agree with those derived previously from mid-IR data, but C3H4 abundances are about 2 times lower, suggesting a vertical gradient or incorrect band intensities in the C3H4 spectroscopic data. For the first time C2N2 was detected at southern and equatorial latitudes with an average volume mixing ratio of 5.5±1.4×10−11 derived from limb data (>3-σ significance). This limb result is also corroborated by nadir data, which give a C2N2 volume mixing ratio of 6±3×10−11 (2-σ significance) or alternatively a 3-σ upper limit of 17×10−11. Comparing these figures with photochemical models suggests that galactic cosmic rays may be an important source of N2 dissociation in Titan's stratosphere. Like other nitriles (HCN, HC3N), C2N2 displays greater north polar relative enrichment than hydrocarbons with similar photochemical lifetimes, suggesting an additional loss mechanism for all three of Titan's main nitrile species. Previous studies have suggested that HCN requires an additional sink process such as incorporation into hazes. This study suggests that such a sink may also be required for Titan's other nitrile species.  相似文献

We have studied the excitation of the Cameron bands of carbon monoxide (a3π → X1Σ+) by electron impact on CO and CO2. This investigation was prompted by a recent study of the Martian airglow by Conway (1981) who concluded that the cross section for the dissociative excitation of the Cameron bands is seven times larger than the laboratory value reported by Ajello (1971a) and by a perplexing inconsistency between the optical cross section and CO(a3π) time-of-flight experiments. We have found now that three factors have contributed to these discrepancies: (1) spectral contamination of the (1,4) Cameron band used by Ajello to normalize the entire Cameron band cross section, (2) major revisions in the magnitude of the CO(a3π) radiative lifetime, and (3) new insights into the effects of the CO(a3π) velocity distribution on the field of view of the emission experiments. The new results largely reconcile the TOF and emission measurements, but they also suggest that the calculated photoelectron fluxes in the Martian atmosphere may be too large by a factor of 3.  相似文献

We report observation and analysis of a high-resolution 2.87-3.54 μm spectrum of the southern temperate region of Saturn obtained with NIRSPEC at Keck II. The spectrum reveals absorption and emission lines of five molecular species as well as spectral features of haze particles. The ν2+ν3 band of CH3D is detected in absorption between 2.87 and 2.92 μm; and we derived from it a mixing ratio approximately consistent with the Infrared Space Observatory result. The ν3 band of C2H2 also is detected in absorption between 2.95 and 3.05 μm; analysis indicates a sudden drop in the C2H2 mixing ratio at 15 mbar (130 km above the 1 bar level), probably due to condensation in the low stratosphere. The presence of the ν3+ν9+ν11 band of C2H6 near 3.07 μm, first reported by Bjoraker et al. [Bjoraker, G.L., Larson, H.P., Fink, U., 1981. Astrophys. J. 248, 856-862], is confirmed, and a C2H6 condensation altitude of 10 mbar (140 km) in the low stratosphere is determined. We assign weak emission lines within the 3.3 μm band of CH4 to the ν7 band of C2H6, and derive a mixing ratio of 9±4×10−6 for this species. Most of the C2H6 3.3 μm line emission arises in the altitude range 460-620 km (at ∼μbar pressure levels), much higher than the 160-370 km range where the 12 μm thermal molecular line emission of this species arises. At 2.87-2.90 μm the major absorber is tropospheric PH3. The cloud level determined here and at 3.22-3.54 is 390-460 mbar (∼30 km), somewhat higher than found by Kim and Geballe [Kim, S.J., Geballe, T.R., 2005. Icarus 179, 449-458] from analysis of a low resolution spectrum. A broad absorption feature at 2.96 μm, which might be due to NH3 ice particles in saturnian clouds, is also present. The effect of a haze layer at about 125 km (∼12 mbar level) on the 3.20-3.54 μm spectrum, which was not apparent in the low resolution spectrum, is clearly evident in the high resolution data, and the spectral properties of the haze particles suggest that they are composed of hydrocarbons.  相似文献

A high-resolution sunspot umbra spectrum recorded in National Solar Observatory, Kitt Peak in the visible and infrared wave number range 13, 600 – 25, 000cm−1 was taken in the present study for identifying the rotational lines of barium hydride (BaH) molecule. Number of chance coincidences was evaluated for the A 2Π1/2 – X 2Σ ((0,0), (1,1), (2,2), (1,0), (2,1)), A 2Π3/2 – X 2Σ ((0,0), (1,1), (2,2)), B 2Π1/2 – X 2Σ (0,0), B 2Π3/2 – X 2Σ (0,0), C 2Σ – X 2Σ ((1,1), (1,0), (2,2), (2,1), (3,2)) and D 2Σ – X 2Σ ((1,0), (2,0), (3,0), (4,0), (5,0), (8,0), (9,0)) band systems of BaH using line identification procedure. The obtained number of chance of coincidences was compared with I- parameter values. The highly resolved rotational lines were chosen to evaluate equivalent widths using triangle approximation method. The effective rotational temperatures were calculated for the bands (0,0), (1,1), (2,2) and (2,1) of A 2Π1/2 – X 2Σ, (0,0) (1,1) and (2,2) of A 2Π3/2 – X 2Σ, B 2Π1/2 – X 2Σ (0,0) and B 2Π3/2 – X 2Σ (0,0) of BaH molecule. The rotational temperature values calculated for these bands were found to be in the range 1185 – 3514 K. They were also compared with the already reported sunspot temperatures.  相似文献

Altitude distributions of electronically excited atoms and molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the aurora have been obtained by means of rocket-borne wavelength scanning interference filter photometers launched from Fort Churchill, Manitoba (58.4°N, 94.1°W) on January 23, 1974. Atomic oxygen densities derived from mass spectrometer measurements obtained during the flight are used in conjunction with the volume emission rate ratio of the N2(C3Πu?B3Πg) (0-0) second positive and N2(A3Σu+, v = 1?X1Σg+) Vegard-Kaplan bands to derive a rate constant for quenching of the N2(A3Σu+, v = 1) level with O(3P) of 1.7(±0.8) × 10?11 cm3 s?1 These data, together with O den derived from the O2(b1Σg+) state nightglow emission observed during the rocket ascent, suggest that quenching of the N2(A3Σu+, v = 1) level by O2 has a significant positive temperature dependence. The processes involved in the production and loss of the N2(A3Σu+) state are considered and energy transfer from the N2(A3Σu+) state to O(3P) is found to be a significant source of the OI 5577 Å green line in this aurora at altitudes below 130 km. Emission from the NO(A2Σ+?X2Π) gamma bands was not detected, an observation which is consistent with the mass spectrometer data obtained during the flight indicating that the NO density was <108 cm3 at 110 km. On the basis of previous rocket and satellite measurements of the NO gamma bands, energy transfer from the N2(A3Σu+) state to NO(X2Π) is shown to be an insignificant source of the gamma bands in aurora. Altitude profiles of the N2(a1Πg?X1Σg+) Lyman-Birge-Hopfield band system are presented.  相似文献

The yield of metastable nitrogen atoms in dissociative recombination of N2+ (v = 0, 1)ions has been tudied for different experimental conditions. In a first experiment, the branching ratio for N(2D) production was directly measured as being higher than 1.85; for N2+ (v = 0) this implies that 2D + 2D is the main reaction channel; for N2+ (v = 1) a minor channel could be 2P + 2D, 2P being then quenched toward 2D by electrons. In a second experiment, at higher electron densities, the influence of superelastic collisions was studied; a steady state analysis yields the quenching rate coefficient k4, of 2D towards 4S equal to 2.4 × 10?10 cm3 s?1for Te = 3900 K and shows that 2D + 2D is always the major channel of the reaction for N2+ (v = 1), 2D + 2P being a minor channel. All these results are in good agreement with thermospheric models but imply that N2+ dissociative recombination is a less important source for nitrogen escape of Mars.  相似文献

Simultaneous measurements of NO and NO2 in the stratosphere leading to an NOx determination have been performed by means of i.r. absorption spectrometry using the Sun as a source in the 5·2 μm band of NO and in the 6·2 μm band of NO2. The observed abundance of NOP peaks at 26 km where it is equal to (4·2 ± 1) × 109 cm?3. The volume mixing ratio of NOp was observed to vary from 1·3 × 10?9 at 20 km to 1·3 × 10?8 at 34 km.  相似文献

It is proposed that energy transfer from excited O2 contributes to the production of O(1S) in aurora. An analysis is presented of the OI5577 Å emission in an IBC II+ aurora between 90 and 130 km. The volume emission rate of the emission at these altitudes is consistent with the production rate of O(1S) by energy transfer to O(3P) from N2 in the A3Σ2+ state and O2 in the A3Σu+, C3Δc1Σu? states, the N2A state being populated by direct electron impact excitation and B → A cascade and the excited O2 states by direct excitation. Above the peak emission altitude (~105 km), energy transfer from N2A is the predominant production mechanism for O(1S). Below it, the contribution from quenching of the O2 states becomes significant.  相似文献

Aeronomical determinations of the dissociative recombination reaction rate coefficient for O2+, α, depend directly on a knowledge of the rate coefficient for the charge exchange of O+ with O2, k. A re-evaluation of the aeronomical determination of α using Atmosphere Explorer satellite data is necessary in the light of a subsequent laboratory measurement of k. The results reported here are in reasonable agreement with laboratory determinations to within the uncertainty of the analysis for night-time conditions. However, for data obtained under sunlit conditions the aeronomical determination differs significantly from the laboratory measurements. The results imply that the state of the O2+ molecule resulting from the major thermospheric processes requires further examination.  相似文献

A spectrum of Jupiter between 6000 and 12 000 cm? at high resolution (0.05 cm?) was recorded with a Michelson interferometer at Palomar Mountain in October 1974. An analysis of the R branch of the 3ν3CH4 band with the reflecting-layer model, taking into account the H2 absorption which occurs in the same spectral range, leads to a Lorentzian half-width of 0.09 ± 0.02 cm?1, a rotational temperature of 175 ± 10° K, and a CH4 abundance of order 52m atm. Five lines of the 13CH43ν3 band have been identified; a comparison with new laboratory spectra indicates that the 13CH4/12CH4 ratio in the Jupiter atmosphere is close to the terrestrial ratio.  相似文献

A simple vibrational relaxation model which reproduces the observed altitude integrated vibrational distribution of the Herzberg I bands in the nightglow is used to derive the altitude profiles of the individual vibrational levels at 1 km intervals in the 85–115 km height range. The possible errors associated with using rocket-borne photometer measurements of a limited number of bands in the O2(A3Σu+?X3Σg?) system to infer the total Herzberg I emission profile are assessed.  相似文献

Hydrocarbons such as acetylene (C2H2) and ethane (C2H6) are important tracers in Jupiter's atmosphere, constraining our models of the chemical and dynamical processes. However, our knowledge of the vertical and meridional variations of their abundances has remained sparse. During the flyby of the Cassini spacecraft in December 2000, the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument was used to map the spatial variation of emissions from 10 to 1400 cm−1 (1000-7 μm). In this paper we analyze a zonally averaged set of CIRS spectra taken at the highest (0.48 cm−1) resolution, firstly to infer atmospheric temperatures in the stratosphere at 0.5-20 mbar via the ν4 band of CH4, and in the troposphere at 150-400 mbar, via the H2 absorption at 600-800 cm−1. Stratospheric temperatures at 5 mbar are generally warmer in the north than the south by 7-8 K, while tropospheric temperatures show no such asymmetry. Both latitudinal temperature profiles however do show a pattern of maxima and minima which are largely anti-correlated between the two levels. We then use the derived temperature profiles to infer the vertical abundances of C2H2 and C2H6 by modeling tropospheric absorption (∼200 mbar) and stratospheric emission (∼5 mbar) in the C2H2ν5 and C2H6ν9 bands, and also emission of the acetylene (ν4+ν5)−ν4 hotband (∼0.1 mbar). Acetylene shows a distinct north-south asymmetry in the stratosphere, with 5 mbar abundances greatest close to 20° N and decreasing from there towards both poles by a factor of ∼4. At 200 mbar in contrast, acetylene is nearly flat at a level of ∼3×10−9. Additionally, the abundance gradient of C2H2 between 10 and 0.1 mbar is derived, based on interpolated temperatures at 0.1 mbar, and is found to be positive and uniform with latitude to within errors. Ethane at both 5 and 200 mbar shows increasing VMR towards polar regions of ∼1.75 towards 70° N and ∼2.0 towards 70° S. An explanation for the meridional trends is proposed in terms of a combination of photochemistry and dynamics. Poleward, the decreasing UV flux is predicted to decrease the abundances of C2H2 and C2H6 by factors of 2.7 and 3.5, respectively, at latitude 70°. However, the lifetime of C2H6 in the stratosphere (3×1010 s at 5 mbar) is much longer than the dynamical timescale for meridional mixing inferred from Comet SL-9 debris (5-50×108 s), and therefore the rising abundance towards high latitudes likely indicates that meridional mixing dominates over photochemical effects. For C2H2, the opposite occurs, with the relatively short photochemical lifetime (3×107 s), compared to meridional mixing times, ensuring that the expected photochemical trends are visible.  相似文献

We have analysed the finite temperature λφ4 model in the Robertson Walker metric, taking into consideration spontaneous symmetry breaking, particle production and symmetry recovery through phase transition under a high temperature, and found that it is possible to have a cosmological model free of singularities. Such a model begins in the singularity-free, horizon-free, Beltrami-Anti-de Sitter state. Continual production of particles keeps on raising its temperature until a critical temperature TC is reached, when a phase change takes place, and the universe is transformed into a radiation-dominated, thermally-expanding Friedmann state. This phase transition corresponds to a big-bang without, however, an antecedent singularity.  相似文献
