Solar flare observations have been performed with the multichannel L.P.S.P. experiment on board OSO-8 NASA Satellite. Simultaneous H and K Caii, h and k Mgii, L and L Hi profiles have been recorded on the plage just before the flare, during the flare onset and relaxation phases. The different behaviour of line profiles and intensities during the flare is evidenced and indicates a downward propagation with relaxation times increasing from the upper part to the lower part of the chromosphere related to line formation processes. Using the H observed profile, an upper limit of 8 × 1013 cm-3 is derived for the electron density. 相似文献

A sequence of images taken at different positions in the resonance lines of Ca ii, Mg ii, and H i was obtained over a quiescent prominence with the LPSP instrument on OSO-8. Ca ii K (and H) profiles are reconstructed at different locations in the prominence with a (10 × 5) arc sec2 resolution. Significant variations of FWHM and line shifts are found: FWHM range from 0.14 Å to 0.5 Å; blue shifts reach about 14 km s-1. The ratio of K to H absolute intensities shows a large spread around the average value of 1.2. The same ratio for the Mg ii lines in the whole prominence is higher (1.7), a fact already noticed at the edge of an active prominence (Vial et al., 1979). The ionization degree, as measured by the L/Ca K ratio, shows noticeable variations within the prominence. The L intensity is about 0.3 times the intensity measured in the quiet Sun, and the L/L ratio is less than one half the disk value. These results indicate important variations of the thermal conditions inside the prominence.DASOP, Observatoire de Paris, 92190 Meudon, France. 相似文献

Two types of trial three-layer models have been constructed for the satellites Io and Europa. In the models of the first type (Io1 and E1), the cores are assumed to consist of eutectic Fe-FeS melt with the densities ρ 1 = 5.15 g cm?3 (Io1) and 5.2 g cm?3 (E1). In the models of the second type (Io3 and E3), the cores consist of FeS with an admixture of nickel and have the density ρ 1 = 4.6 g cm?3. The approach used here differs from that used previously both in chosen model chemical composition of these satellites and in boundary conditions imposed on the models. The most important question to be answered by modeling the internal structure of the Galilean satellites is that of the condensate composition at the formation epoch of Jupiter’s system. Jupiter’s core and the Galilean satellites were formed from the condensate. Ganymede and Callisto were formed fairly far from Jupiter in zones with temperatures below the water condensation temperature, water was entirely incorporated into their bodies, and their modeling showed the mass ratio of the icy (I) component to the rock (R) component in them to be I/R ～ 1. The R composition must be clarified by modeling Io and Europa. The models of the second type (Io3 and E3), in which the satellite cores consist of FeS, yield 25.2 (Io3) and 22.8 (E3) for the core masses (in weight %). In discussing the R composition, we note that, theoretically, the material of which the FeS+Ni core can consist in the R accounts for ～25.4% of the satellite mass. In this case, such an important parameter as the mantle silicate iron saturation is Fe# = 0.265. The Io3 and E3 models agree well with this theoretical prediction. The models of the first and second types differ markedly in core radius; thus, in principle, the R composition in the formation zone of Jupiter’s system can be clarified by geophysical studies. Another problem studied here is that of the error made in modeling Io and Europa using the Radau-Darvin formula when passing from the Love number k 2 to the nondimensional polar moment of inertia $\bar C$ . For Io, the Radau-Darvin formula underestimates the true value of $\bar C$ by one and a half units in the third decimal digit. For Europa, this effect is approximately a factor of 3 smaller, which roughly corresponds to a ratio of the small parameters for the satellites under consideration α Io/α Europa ～ 3.4. In modeling the internal structure of the satellites, the core radius depends strongly on both the mean moment of inertia I* and k 2. Therefore, the above discrepancy in $\bar C$ for Io is appreciable. 相似文献

Photographic observations of the time development of the profile of the L line of hydrogen during flares were obtained with the NRL spectrograph on ATM. The profiles for the 15 June, 1973 and 21 January, 1974 flares reported here cover both core and wings of the line. The time sequences begin before flare maximum, and continue well into the decay phase. Careful attention has been given to photometry and absolute calibration. In the case of the 15 June, 1973 flare, data are presented both first-order corrected and uncorrected for incomplete filling of the spectrograph slit by flaring material. Correction of the 21 January, 1974 flare was not possible. We discuss core symmetry and shift, and show that our observations imply integrated flare L/H intensity ratios within a factor of two of unity for these two flares. 相似文献

The global distribution of existing lunar topography suffers from a lack of measurements of far-side radii because of the sparsity of data types in the nonequatorial regions. This paper presents determinations of far-side lunar radii based on the reduction of photogrammetric measurements derived from selected Apollo 16 trans-Earth phase photographs. The regions covered in this analysis lie west of Mare Moscoviense between longitudes 90 and 130°E and latitudes 10 and 60°N. The determinations are made using control points appearing on both NASA topographic orthophoto maps and the Apollo 16 photographs. The estimated lunar radii are referred to these control points and determined with a relative accuracy of 500 m. The new lunar radii are used to generate a topographic map covering the area investigated. The map shows that, with the given spatial density of surface festures measured, basin-sized features can be resolved. In particular, the far-side craters Fabry, Riemann, and Szilard comprise a topographically depressed region about 500 km in diameter centered at 120°E and 38.5°N. The floor of this basin is 2.4 to 3.4 km below the reference sphere of 1738.0 km and 4.8 to 5.8 km below the northern rim of the basin. A comparison of the depth of the unfilled basin with the depths of maria-filled front-side basins leads to the conclusion that basalt fill of the near-side maria may be 2 km deep. The topographic map shows good correlation with geologic provinces of young plains and cratered terra in the far-side highland region investigated. Lack of correlation between sampled values of the state-of-the-art 16th-order and 16th-degree harmonic gravity field model and corresponding topographical values leads to the conclusion that the far-side region investigated is isostatically compensated. 相似文献

Between the dedication of the 200” Hale Telescope in 1948 and the completion of today’s 8–10 m behemoths, astronomers’ most iconic symbol, the telescope itself—its design, its technology, and its use—was transformed as a research tool. The importance of this is deceptively simple: in astronomy, technological innovations have often led to new discoveries. Driven by the need to get as much observing time as possible and the desire to take advantage of the best observing conditions, modern observatories have experimented with new technologies and modes of collecting images and spectra. This entailed a re-casting of the telescope by astronomers and science managers as a factory of scientific data. At the same time, contemporary astronomers express considerable unease and apprehension about how these technological changes have altered, in ways subtle and profound, the nature of astronomical observing and what it meant to be an astronomer. This short essay addresses the issues associated with these recent changes in astronomical practice and their connections to astronomers’ desire for ever larger and more complex telescopes. 相似文献

V band photometry of three RS CVn stars, II Peg, IM Peg and UX Ari, is carried out to study the physical properties of these variables. We verified the significant and regular optical photometric variability to be present in all three stars. The strong photometric variability and emission of Hα and Ca II H K using high resolution optical spectroscopy with the Hanle Echelle Spectrograph(HESP),which operates in conjunction with the Himalayan Chandra Telescope, verify the strong chromospheric activity which is present in RS CVn stars. The photometric studies of II Peg, UX Ari and IM Peg were subjected to light curve analysis for spot parameters using a two-starspot model. 相似文献

The brightnesses of Titan, Uranus, and Neptune in b (4718 ÅA) and y (5508 ÅA) have increased linearly since 1972 at rates ranging from 0.005 to 0.025 mag yr?1. The observations were made differentially on a number of nights each season with respect to a network of comparison stars whose relative magnitudes were determined by independent measurements. Solar phase coefficients were derived for each object, and all observations have been normalized to zero solar phase angle and mean heliocentric distances. No explanation for the changes has been found, but a possible influence of solar activity upon planetary albedo is suggested by the fact that all of the objects observed have brightened during the declining half of the solar cycle. 相似文献

For the direction to a number of stars the depletion of interstellar gaseous iron and titanium as well as the relative abundance of molecular hydrogen and the strength of the interstellar band at 4430 Å were determined by different authors and can be found in the literature. In this paper it is shown that the difference (A
c-Aco) is a more reliable measurement of the column density of 4430 Å absorbers than the usually used central depth,A
c, because the positive valueA
co ofA
c forE(B-V)=0, i.e. the intercept with theA
c axis of a least-squares fit to the observedA
c vsE(B-V) data, is with a high probability not caused by an interstellar effect.There was no correlation found between the interstellar depletion of iron and titanium, respectively, and (A
c-Aco), whereas a tendency exists that with increasing relative molecular hydrogen abundance the number of 4430 Å absorbers per hydrogen atom decreases. If the carriers of the 4430 Å absorbers are interstellar grains, then these grains must be altered during the same process in which molecular hydrogen is built. The found correlation is also compatible with the assumption that the 4430 Å absorber is related to an interstellar gaseous species. 相似文献

Preliminary results of observations of a region containing known H stars are presented. The observations were made on the 2.6-m telescope of the V. A. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in August 2000. A VAGR integral field spectrograph was used in the observations. The size of the region studied is about 6×11 arcmin. Besides the two already known, five new H stars and five HHL objects were discovered in this region. One of these stars coincides with the well-known object RNO 127. One infrared and one cometary nebula were discovered. The presence of so many peculiar objects in a region of such size suggests that it is one of the youngest star-forming regions. 相似文献

The onboard software and data communication in the RT-2 Experiment onboard the Coronas?CPhoton satellite is organized in a hierarchical way to effectively handle and communicate asynchronous data generated by the X-ray detectors. A flexible data handling system is organized in the X-ray detector packages themselves and the processing electronic device, namely RT-2/E, has the necessary intelligence to communicate with the three scientific payloads by issuing commands and receiving data. It has direct interfacing with the Satellite systems and issues commands to the detectors and processes the detector data before sending to the satellite systems. The onboard software is configured with several novel features like (a) device independent communication scheme, (b) loss-less data compression and (c) Digital Signal Processor. Functionality of the onboard software along with the data structure, command structure, complex processing scheme etc. are discussed in this paper. 相似文献

In the summer of 1609, Galileo Galilei started to improve upon the Dutch spyglass. Only a few months were needed to increase the magnifying power of the instrument up to 30 times. This transformation allowed Galileo to perform astronomical observations destined to change the traditional Universe. At present, the Institute and Museum of History of Science of Florence is conducting a research programme on the lenses of early telescopes. Historical research is combined with scientific analyses conducted by the National Institute of Applied Optics in Arcetri, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Florence, and the Glass Experimental Station in Murano. The shape and composition of the lenses are studied by applying different techniques. Moreover, the composition of early lenses and scientific glass objects are compared. Finally, Galileo’s observations are checked with an optical replica of Galileo’s telescope held at the Astrophysical Observatory in Arcetri. 相似文献

1 INTRODUCTION In the past years, we were thrilled to the reports of discoveries of many planets around stars.These planetary systems outside the solar system (if exist) provide not only an independenttest of the formation theory of the solar system but also a chance to search for extraterrestriallife in the universe. Many studies have been made to identify the particularities of these stars,among which spectroscopic studies (e.g. Gonzalez et al. 2001; Santos et al. 2001; Zhao etaL. 2001… 相似文献

The mass and radius of our closest neighbour Venus are only slightly smaller than those of the Earth indicating a similarity in composition. However, the lack of self-sustained internal magnetic field in Venus points to a difference in the core structure. The theory of tricritical phenomena has recently been used to study solidification at the high pressures and temperatures of the Earth, revealing how the Earth’s core works. This theoretical approach is here applied to Venus. While keeping Venus’ mantle density similar to the Earth’s, one obtains the gravitational acceleration g inside Venus, its moment of inertia factor, the size, pressure and density of its core, together with the planet’s temperature profile. Mainly due to the temperature difference between the core–mantle boundary and surface being 21% smaller than on the Earth, and the 11.5% smaller gravitational acceleration, Venus’ Rayleigh number Ra parameterizing mantle convection is only 54% of the Earth’s, offering a possible explanation for the present lack of plate tectonics on Venus. The theory as discussed predicts that Venus is molten at the centre, with temperature about 5200 K, and has 8 mol.% impurities there, slightly more impurities than in the Earth’s inner core boundary fluid. These impurities are likely to be a combination of MgO and MgSiO3. 相似文献
