The globular molecular cloud B335 contains a single, deeply embedded, far-infrared source. Our recent observations of H2CO and CS lines toward this source provide direct kinematic evidence for collapse. Both the intensity and detailed shape of the line profiles match those expected from inside-out collapse inside a radius of 0.036 pc. The collapse began about 1.5 × 105 years ago, similar to the onset of the outflow. The mass accretion rate is about 10 times the outflow rate, and about 0.4M should have now accumulated in the star and disk. Because B335 rotates only very slowly, any disk would still be very small (about 3 AU). The accretion luminosity should be adequate to power the observed luminosity. Consequently, we believe that B335 is indeed a collapsing protostar.Paper presented at the Conference onPlanetary Systems: Formation, Evolution, and Detection held 7–10 December, 1992 at CalTech, Pasadena, California, U.S.A.  相似文献

We consider sterile neutrinos as a component of dark matter in the Milky Way and clusters, and compare their rest mass, decay rate and the mixing angle. A radiative decaying rate of order Γ∼10−19 s−1 for sterile neutrino rest mass m s =18–19 keV can satisfactorily account for the cooling flow problem and heating source in Milky Way center simultaneously. Also, these ranges of decay rate and rest mass match the prediction of the mixing angle sin 22θ∼10−3 with a low reheating temperature in the inflation model, which enables the sterile-active neutrino oscillation to be visible in future experiments. However, decaying sterile neutrinos have to be ruled out as a major component of dark matter because of the high decay rate.  相似文献

Abstract— We have made Be‐B measurements in six calcium‐aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) (mostly type B inclusions) from CV chondrites and compared them to Al‐Mg measurements. All CAIs show 10B excesses in melilite that are correlated with Be/B ratios. The initial 10Be/9Be ratio inferred from the correlation line is 6.2 times 10?4. In contrast to the Be‐B system in melilite, the Al‐Mg system in anorthite is disturbed. This is probably due to B diffusion in melilite being slow compared with Mg diffusion in anorthite. This suggests that Be‐B chronology may be useful for measuring time differences of high‐temperature (melting, condensation, etc.) events in the early solar system.  相似文献

We report the B abundances and isotopic ratios of two olivine grains from the S‐type asteroid Itokawa sampled by the Hayabusa spacecraft. Olivine grains from the Dar al Gani (DaG) 989 LL6 chondrite were used as a reference. Since we analyzed polished thin sections in both cases, we expect the contribution from the solar wind B (rich in 10B) to be minimal because the solar wind was implanted only within very thin layers of the grain surface. The Itokawa and DaG 989 olivine grains have homogeneous B abundances (~400 ppb) and 11B/10B ratios compatible with the terrestrial standard and bulk chondrites. The observed homogeneous B abundances and isotopic ratios of the Itokawa olivine grains are likely the result of thermal metamorphism which occurred in the parent asteroid of Itokawa, which had a similar composition as LL chondrites. The chondritic B isotopic ratios of the Itokawa samples suggest that they contain little cosmogenic B (from cosmic‐ray spallation reactions) rich in 10B. This observation is consistent with the short cosmic‐ray exposure ages of Itokawa samples inferred from the small concentrations of cosmogenic 21Ne. If other Itokawa samples have little cosmogenic B as well, the enrichment in 10B found previously on the surface of another Itokawa particle (as opposed to the bulk grain study here) may be attributed to implanted solar wind B.  相似文献

The MINOS experiment has observed a rise in the underground muon charge ratio rμ=μ+/μ-. This ratio can be related to the atmospheric production ratios of π+/π- and K+/K-. Our analysis indicates that the relevant variable for studying the charge ratio is , rather than . We compare a simple energy dependent parameterization of the rise in the charge ratio with more detailed previously published Monte Carlo simulations and an analytical calculation. We also estimate the size of two previously neglected effects in this context: the charge sign dependency of the dE/dx in rock, and the energy dependence of heavy primaries on the derived K+/K- ratio.  相似文献

We have performed TreeSPH simulations of galaxy formation in a standard ΛCDM cosmology, including effects of star formation, energetic stellar feedback processes and a meta-galactic UV field, and obtain a mix of disk, lenticular and elliptical galaxies. The disk galaxies are deficient in angular momentum by only about a factor of two compared to observed disk galaxies. The stellar disks have approximately exponential surface density profiles, and those of the bulges range from exponential to r 1/4, as observed. The bulge-to-disk ratios of the disk galaxies are consistent with observations and likewise are their integrated B-V colours, which have been calculated using stellar population synthesis techniques. Furthermore, we can match the observed I-band Tully-Fisher (TF) relation, provided that the mass-to-light ratio of disk galaxies is (M/L I) ≃ 0.6–0.7. The ellipticals and lenticulars have approximately r 1/4 stellar surface density profiles, are dominated by non-disklike kinematics and flattened due to non-isotropic stellar velocity distributions, again consistent with observations. This revised version was published online in September 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

R-matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates in N-like Mgvi are used to derive theoretical electron-density-sensitive emission line ratios involving 2s 22p 3–2s2p 4transitions in the 269–403 Å wavelength range. A comparison of these with observations of a solar active region, obtained during the 1989 flight of the Solar EUV Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS), reveals good agreement between theory and observation for the 2s 22p 3 4 S–2s2p 4 4 Ptransitions at 399.28, 400.67, and 403.30 Å, and the 2s 22p 3 2 P–2s2p 4 2 Dlines at 387.77 and 387.97 Å. However, intensities for the other lines attributed to Mgvi in this spectrum by various authors do not match the present theoretical predictions. We argue that these discrepancies are not due to errors in the adopted atomic data, as previously suggested, but rather to observational uncertainties or mis-identifications. Some of the features previously identified as Mgvi lines in the SERTS spectrum, such as 291.36 and 293.15 Å, are judged to be noise, while others (including 349.16 Å) appear to be blended.  相似文献

We report the results of study of the A1569 cluster (12 h 36m.3, +16°35′) and the neighboring A1589 cluster (12 h 41m.3, +18°34′), making up a pair (a supercluster) with a projected size of about 10Mpc. This study is done within the framework of our program for investigating the galaxy clusters with bimodal velocity distributions (i.e., clusters where the velocities of subsystems differ by more than Δcz ∼ 3000 km/s). In the A1569 cluster we have identified two subsystems: A1569A (cz = 20613 km/s) and A1569B (cz = 23783 km/s). These subsystems have the line-of-sight velocity dispersions of 484 km/s and 493 km/s, and dynamic masses within the R 200 radius equal to 1.8 × 1014 and 2.0 × 1014 M ⊙, respectively. We directly estimate the distances to these subsystems using three methods applied to earlytype galaxies: the Kormendy relation, photometric plane, and fundamental plane. To this end, we use the results of our observations made with the 1-m telescope of the SAO RAS and the data adopted from the SDSS DR7 catalog. We found that A1569 consists of two independent clusters. The A1569B cluster is located at the Hubble distance corresponding to its radial velocity. The A1569A cluster has a peculiar velocity of −1290 ± 630 km/s, which can be explained by the effect of the more massive A1589 cluster (with a mass of 7.9 × 1014 M ⊙) and of the supercluster where it resides. In all the four bimodal clusters that we studied within the framework of our program, A1035, A1775, A1831, and A1569, the subsystems are independent clusters lying close to the Hubble relation between redshift and distance.  相似文献

We have calculated the changes that would occur in mean intensity due to the presence of aberration and advection terms in radiative transfer equation. We have considered an absorbing medium with velocities 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 km s–1 (-0.0033, 0.017, where =V/C,V is the velocity of the medium andC is the velocity of the light). Calculations have been done in a comoving frame with monochromatic radiation field. We have calculated the deviation in mean intensity defined as 0)]/J(V = 0)]$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , whereJ is the mean intensity. We have taken two types of absorbing media (1) with a source of constant emission and (2) with emission source. As the emission decreases as 1/n 2 wheren is the number of layer, wheren=1 corresponds to max and n=N corresponds to =0We find that for a total optical depth of one, the maximum change is about 2% whenB(r)=1 and about 6%, whenB(r)1/n 2 whereB(r) is the Planck function. When the optical depth increases to 5 the maximum change in the case of the constant source function falls to 1.5%, where as in the other case in which the Planck function changes as 1/r 2 the maximum changes remains at 6%. Further increase of the optical depth will reduce the changes to less than 2%. The amplification factor in the case of the Planck function varying as 1/r 2 is more than when the emission sources are constant.  相似文献

We have made VLA radio total intensity and polarisation observations in the A, B and C configurations at 1665, 1435, 1365 and 1295 MHz and in the B, C and D configurations at 8465 and 8415 MHz to study the environment of the powerful radio galaxy Hercules A. We have also made ROSAT PSPC and HRI X-ray observations to study the intracluster gas in the Hercules A cluster. We have mapped the Faraday rotation field with high resolution (1.′′42.5 h−1100 kpc for q0=0), and combined this with the X-ray data on the gas distribution in order to map the magnetic field of the cluster. We have found that Hercules A exhibits a strong Laing-Garrington effect: the western side of the radio emission is more depolarised than the eastern side. The X-ray observations have revealed an extended X-ray emission elongated along the radio galaxy axis and a weak nuclear component. The Hercules A cluster is a cooling flow cluster, which appears isothermal at large radii. Comparing the Faraday dispersion profile with the X-ray estimated density profile, we found that the magnetic field is decreasing with radius and we have estimated a central value of 3B0 (μG) 9. The estimated core electron density of n06.6×103 m−3 reveals a dense environment in which Hercules A is situated.  相似文献

We investigate the decay of bound electron-positron pairs (positronium) in strong magnetic fields (of order 1012 Gauss, which are assumed for neutron stars) on the basis of a correct treatment of the two-body problem, thus improving previous work by Carr and Sutherland (1978). We find that, even in the presence of a strong magnetic field, the decay of the ground state of positronium must be momentum conserving, whereby the possibility of the one-photon decay is ruled out. We calculate the transition rate for the two-photon annihilation process which turns out to be larger than the field free transition rate by a factor (1/)2 B/B cr (where is the electromagnetic coupling constant, andB cr=m e 2 c 2/(e)=4.41×1013 Gauss).  相似文献

Observations of light isotopes in cosmic rays provide valuable information on their origin and propagation in the Galaxy. Using the data collected by the AMS-01 experiment in the range ∼0.2–1.5 GeV nucleon−1, we compare the measurements on 1 H, 2 H, 3 He, and 4 He with calculations for interstellar propagation and solar modulation. These data are described well by a diffusive-reacceleration model with parameters that match the B/C ratio data, indicating that He and heavier nuclei such as C–N–O experience similar propagation histories. Close comparisons are made within the astrophysical constraints provided by the B/C ratio data and within the nuclear uncertainties arising from errors in the production cross section data. The astrophysical uncertainties are expected to be dramatically reduced by the data upcoming from AMS-02, so that the nuclear uncertainties will likely represent the most serious limitation on the reliability of the model predictions. On the other hand, we find that secondary-to-secondary ratios such as 2 H/3 He, 6 Li/7 Li or 10 B/11 B are barely sensitive to the key propagation parameters and can represent a useful diagnostic test for the consistency of the calculations.  相似文献

We study the anomalous flux ratio which is observed in some four-image lens systems, where the source lies close to a fold caustic. In this case two of the images are close to the critical curve and their flux ratio should be equal to unity, instead in several cases the observed value differs significantly. The most plausible solution is to invoke the presence of substructures, as for instance predicted by the Cold Dark Matter scenario, located near the two images. In particular, we analyze the two fold lens systems PG1115+080 and B1555+375, for which there are not yet satisfactory models which explain the observed anomalous flux ratios. We add to a smooth lens model, which reproduces well the positions of the images but not the anomalous fluxes, one or two substructures described as singular isothermal spheres. For PG1115+080 we consider a smooth model with the influence of the group of galaxies described by a SIS and a substructure with mass ∼105 M ⊙ as well as a smooth model with an external shear and one substructure with mass ∼108 M ⊙. For B1555+375 either a strong external shear or two substructures with mass ∼107 M ⊙ reproduce the data quite well.  相似文献

Twenty-eight of the thirty-nine diffuse interstellar bands identified by Herbig (1975) are shown to constitute three vibronic systems with origins at 14 321, 15 153, and 15 343 cm–1 (vac). Structure within these three systems arises from the excitation of vibrational modes withv 1=275 cm–1,v 2=445.5 cm–1, andv 3=793 cm–1. The electronic origins at 14 321 and 15 343 cm–1 correspond to narrow lines observed in the spectrum of Cr3+ ions at cubic sites in MgO solids while the 15 153 cm–1 origin arises in Mn4+ : MgO. Hence, many of the diffuse bands in the visible likely are due to small MgO particles containing these ions. This observation is compatible with recent experimental data showing broad bands at 160 nm and 220 nm from finely divided MgO solids that match features in the interstellar extinction curve.  相似文献

Abstract— The proposed stratigraphic age of 5000–15,000 years for australites found in the vicinity of Port Campbell, Victoria, is demonstrably incorrect. These tektites are not in situ and are also found in an older horizon than previously reported. A minimum stratigraphic age of 250,000 years is calculated from the cosmic-ray-produced 3He in alluvial diamonds from a horizon that also contains australites near Lake Argyle, Western Australia. There is no reason to believe that a true, rather than a minimum, stratigraphic age for Lake Argyle tektites would not match the many radiometric ages reported in the literature.  相似文献

Abstract— The Saharan meteorite Acfer 094 is a unique type of carbonaceous chondrite. Mineralogical and petrological considerations and O isotopes are unable to distinguish unambiguously between a CO3 vs. CM2 classification. The other important light elements, C and N, have systematics that do not match any previously recognised meteorite group. Particularly important in this respect is the very low C/N ratio and δ13C of the macromolecular C. Acfer 094 has more diamond and SiC, especially X type grains, than any other specimen studied, suggesting minimal thermal or aqueous processing to decrease its very primitive status.  相似文献

By means of the Monte Carlo method, we simulate the evolutionary distribution of accreting neutron stars (NSs) in the magnetic field versus spin period (B‐P) diagram where the accretion induced magnetic‐field decay model is exploited. The simulated results show that by mass accretion the B‐P distribution of the accreting NS would evolve along the equilibrium period line to a region with low field and short period. The B‐P distributions of the simulated accreting NSs are consistent with those of the observed millisecond pulsars (MSPs) after accretion of ∼ 0.1–0.2 M⊙. We also test the effects of the initial magnetic field and the spin period on the evolved B‐P distribution of the accreting NSs. It is shown that the evolved distributions of the simulated samples are independent of the selection of the initial condition when the NS magnetic field decays to a value less than ∼1010 G.

We present the results of spectroscopic and photometric observations for the B star StHα62 with an IR excess, a post-AGB candidate identified with the IR source IRAS 07171+1823. High-resolution spectroscopy has allowed the λ4330–7340 Å spectrum of the star to be identified: it contains absorption lines of an early B star and emission lines of a gaseous shell. The residual line intensities have been measured. The heliocentric radial velocities measured from absorption lines of the star and emission lines of the shell are 〈V r 〉 = +45 ± 1 and +52 ± 1 km s?1, respectively. The line-of-sight velocities of gas-dust clouds determined from the interstellar Na I lines are 12 and 33 km s?1. The He I λ5876 Å line exhibits a P Cyg profile, which is indicative of an ongoing mass loss by the star. The expansion velocity of the outer shell estimated from forbidden lines is 12–13 km s?1. Quantitative classification gives the spectral type B0.51 for the star. The parameters of the gaseous shell have been determined: N e = 3.1 × 103 cm?3 and T e ～ 21 000 K.

We have treated formation of spectral lines in a commoving frame where photoionization is predominant over collisional processes. We have assumed that the radiation field for causing photoionization is a function of Planck function. We have also considered the situation in which the continuum contributes to the radiation in the line. In all the models the quantityB/A (ratio of outer to inner radii) is kept equal to 10 and the total optical depth is taken to be 103. The velocity is assumed to be varying according to the lawdV/dτ ∼ < 1/τ whereτ is the optical depth (τ > 0) in the given shell. The velocities at the innermost radius (r =A) are set equal to 0 and at the outermost radius (r =B), the maximum velocities are taken to be 0, 1, 3 and 10 Doppler units. The calculated line profiles are those seen by an observer at infinity.P Cygni-type profiles are observed in the case of a medium with no continuum absorption. For a medium with continuum absorption double peaked asymmetric profiles are noticed when the velocities are small; the two emission peaks merge into a single asymmetric peak for larger velocities.  相似文献

The 1s 2-1s6p H– auto-ionization resonance has been observed as a diffuse interstellar line in several highly reddened O and B stars. The identification based on its wavelength has been confirmed by its equivalent width in HD 183143. The addition of the 1s 2-1snp diffuse-line series raises the total H– oscillator strength of absorption to a value close to 2.  相似文献
