The model of the standard problem of radiative transfer in a vibrational–rotational band that we suggested previously (Shved and Semenov, 2001) for a nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) in vibrational molecular states is used to study the populations of these states in a nonisothermal planetary atmosphere. The temperature profile in the atmosphere is specified as a temperature perturbation in the form of a Gaussian function that is superimposed on an isothermal atmosphere. We show that the temperature profile has a complex effect on the state populations, which makes it difficult to analytically represent this effect. We investigate the influence of the peculiar features of the temperature profile in an LTE layer on the non-LTE height and suggest a criterion for determining those features that weakly affect this height. Using the populations of the CO2 0110 and 0001 states in the atmospheres of the Earth and Mars as examples, we show that the formulas suggested for estimating the non-LTE height are efficient. 相似文献

The estimates of the population of excited vibrational states of the CO2 molecule and of the rate of radiative cooling of the atmosphere in the 15-m CO2 band are given for the nighttime mesosphere and thermosphere of Mars. For the first time, these estimates are made (1) with allowance for the overlap of lines in the 15-m band; (2) for a wide set of vibrational states of seven isotopes of the CO2 molecule, which was used earlier in the solution of a similar terrestrial problem; and (3) using the rate constant for quenching of the CO2(0110) state in collisions with oxygen atoms, which has been recently measured for low temperatures by Khvorostovskaya et al. (2002). The main results are as follows. 1. The approximation of isolated lines provides a satisfactory accuracy of determining the radiative cooling rate and overestimates vibrational temperatures of the states of the 2 mode by no more than 3 K for the 12C16O2 molecule and by no more than 2 K for low-abundant isotopes of the CO2 molecule. 2. A reasonably high accuracy of estimating the cooling rate can be achieved by taking into account only fundamental vibrational transitions in 12C16O2, 13C16O2, 16O12C18O, and 16O12C17O molecules and the hot transitions 22 2 and 32 22 in the 12C16O2 molecule. 3. The vertical profile of the total rate of radiative cooling displays two peaks. The maximum near a height of 130 km is very sensitive to temperature and to the ratio of the mixture for oxygen in the atmosphere. 相似文献

Infrared continuum observations of the Sun at wavelengths between 10 and 30 show a nonisothermal response of the upper photosphere to compression waves associated with the five-minute oscillations. Observations were made with four broad-band filters with effective transmission wavelengths between 10 and 26 and with a 10 aperture. Further observations at submillimeter wavelengths with a 2 aperture did not resolve oscillatory fluctuations of five-minute period.Comparisons with velocity field data of Howard (1976) suggest that the relaxation time of the photosphere exceeds (300/2) seconds at the height of formation of the 26 continuum (5000Å 10-2). The photosphere reponds to 3 mHz oscillatory motion with considerably less compression than expected for simple acoustic modes in an adiabatically responsive atmosphere, confirming the evanescent character of the five-minute oscillations. 相似文献

In any planetary atmosphere there is an uppermost layer in which the molecular thermal conduction is a significant mechanism of forming the thermal structure of the atmosphere. In this paper, the similarity approach is first used to develop the 1-D general model of aforementioned layer. The main concepts of the model are (i) the radiative equilibrium condition at the lower boundary of the layer and (ii) taking into account a single rovibrational band for radiative cooling of the layer. Five dimensionless parameters of the model characterize both “strengths” and altitudinal distributions of heat sources and sinks in the layer, including an effect of the atmosphere under the layer. By fitting the modeled temperature profile to the mean empirical profile, both the magnitudes of the parameters and the relations between them have been determined for the Earth and Mars. Distinctions between these planets in both the parameter magnitudes and relationships can be accounted for by distinction in composition of their atmospheres. For both planets the model shows weak sensitivity of the modeled temperature profile to significant changes in the state of the underlying atmosphere. The model demonstrates some prognostic capabilities. Namely, the fitting reveals presence of O in the martian thermosphere. (However, the fractional O abundance is overestimated.) From drag deceleration of the MGS orbiter the mean temperature profile of the martian thermosphere between 115 and 170 km has been derived for the solar zenith angle of 45°-70°, the solar longitude of 30°-80°, and the latitude range from −10° to 60°at a moderate level of solar activity. 相似文献

We consider the radiative transfer in a nonconservative homogeneous plane-parallel semi-infinite planetary atmosphere where the scattering processes are described by the Rayleigh-Cabannes phase matrix and where the primary sources are in infinitely deep layers. If we use the superposition principle we derive the Cauchy problem for the source vector.As a by-product the external field of radiation for the problem described is obtained using the principle of invariance by Chandrasekhar. The respective formulae for the radiation field in the deep layers and for the extrapolation distance are given. It is shown that the Rubenson degree of polarization even in the case of near-conservative atmospheres reaches the asymptotic regime at rather small values of the optical depth. The-plane reliefs of the characteristic equation, extrapolation distance and the normalized components of the source vector at the boundary are given along with a sample of zeros of the characteristic equation. 相似文献

The variation of radio luminosity with redshift and its effect on the analysis of the angular size-redshift ( –z) relation for a bright radio source sample (s
178 10Jy) has been investigated. By assuming a power law dependence of luminosity on redshift of the formP (1 +z), it was found that 4.4 (with correlation coefficientr 0.99) for at leastz 0.3. Correction for such a strongP – (1 +z) correlation when considering the –z data for the sample led to a steeper –z slope. This could be explained by assuming linear size evolution of the formD (1 +z)–n
withn = 2.8 – 3.3 consistent with both theoretical results and those obtained for more homogeneous source samples. 相似文献

We simultaneously solve the equations of radiative transfer and statistical equilibrium for a model hydrogen atom including Lyman-, Lyman-, Balmer- and the Lyman, Balmer and Paschen continua. The model atmospheres we use are the results of Nakagawa et al. (1973) for a kinematic model of the chromospheric solar flare.We find that the models adequately predict the total intensity of B, its wing broadening, the presence of a red-shifted wing, the maximum electron density, the total line-of-sight second-level population and the narrowness in height of the B emitting region. The profile of B is strongly self-reversed, however, and agrees with observations only in the presence of 40–70 km s–1 macroturbulent motion.We find that Nakagawa et al. (1973) seriously overestimate the radiative loss function, which will have a large effect on their models. Proper radiative loss calculations must be included in any physically realistic model.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

We report spectroscopic measurements on the 6s6p 3P1 level of Lu+ at 28503.16 cm-1. The radiative lifetime of this level was measured to be 37.4 ± 1.9 ns using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence of a slow ion beam. Branching fractions were determined from Lu spectra recorded using the 1.0 m Fourier transform spectrometer at the National Solar Observatory. Thelog(gf) values determined by combining the radiative lifetime and branching fractions for the 3507.39, 5983.90, and 6221.87 (air wavelengths) lines are - 1.16 ± 0.03, - 1.16 ± 0.06, and -0.76 ± 0.04, respectively. The 6221.87 line has been identified by Bord, Cowley, and Mirijanian (1997) as the best candidate for the determination of the solar lutetium abundance because it is only slightly blended in the solar spectrum. The present 6221.87 transition probability measurement brings their solar lutetium abundance into good agreement with the CI chondrite abundance. 相似文献

This series of papers is devoted to multiple scattering of light in plane parallel, inhomogeneous atmospheres. The approach proposed here is based on Ambartsumyan's method of adding layers. The main purpose is to show that one can avoid difficulties with solving various boundary value problems in the theory of radiative transfer, including some standard problems, by reducing them to initial value problems. In this paper the simplest one dimensional problem of diffuse reflection and transmission of radiation in inhomogeneous atmospheres with finite optical thicknesses is considered as an example. This approach essentially involves first determining the reflection and transmission coefficients of the atmosphere, which, as is known, are a solution of the Cauchy problem for a system of nonlinear differential equations. In particular, it is shown that this system can be replaced with a system of linear equations by introducing auxiliary functions P and S. After the reflectivity and transmissivity of the atmosphere are determined, the radiation field in it is found directly without solving any new equations. We note that this approach can be used to obtain the required intensities simultaneously for a family of atmospheres with different optical thicknesses. Two special cases of the functional dependence of the scattering coefficient on the optical thickness, for which the solutions of the corresponding equations can be expressed in terms of elementary functions, are examined in detail. Some numerical calculations are presented and interpreted physically to illustrate specific features of radiative transport in inhomogeneous atmospheres. 相似文献

Summary Tunneling of surface waves (which are also called non-propagating or evanescent mode) in isothermal atmosphere is considered. Tunneling of 5-min oscillations in solar atmosphere is discussed. Phase lead of chromospheric oscillations with respect to photospheric oscillations (Tanenbaum et al., 1971) can be explained by tunneling only. 相似文献

of the [CII] line to the total far-infrared (FIR) continuum intensity, I

from dust heated by the general interstellar radiation field (ISRF). The more `quiescent' galaxies in the sample have values
of I

different from those observed in `compact' Galactic interstellar regions. Their [CII]-emission is interpreted to be dominated
by diffuse regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). For normal `star-forming' galaxies the diffuse component of the [CII]

The problem of planetary accretion in a jet stream is studied using the model developed by Alfvén and Arrhenius. We find that there are basically three types of planetary accretion: namely, fast process

and delayed process
c

where
c
is the characteristic time of the occurrence of catastrophic accretion and
i
the time-scale of mass injection to the planetary system (3×108 yr). These different time scales of accretion are found to be closely related to the primordial thermal profiles and equatorial inclinations of the planets. Finally, Venus' retrograde rotational spin is shown to be a possible result of accretion process in a jet stream. 相似文献

A further development of the Kostyuk-Pikelner's model is presented. The response of the chromosphere heated by non-thermal electrons of the power-law energy spectrum has been studied on the basis of the numerical solution of the one-dimensional time-dependent equations of gravitational gas dynamics. The ionization and energy loss for the emissions in the Lyman and Balmer lines have been determined separately for the optically thin and thick L-line layers. Due to the initial heating, a higher-pressure region is formed. From this region, disturbances propagate upwards (a shock wave with a velocity of more than 1000 km s-1) and downwards. A temperature jump propagates downwards, and a shock is formed in front of the thermal wave. During a period of several seconds after the beginning of this process, the temperature jump intensifies the downward shock wave and the large radiative loss gives rise to the high density jump (
2/
1 100). The numerical solution has been analyzed in detail for the case heating of the ionized and neutral plasma, and a value of this heating is close to the upper limit of the admissible values. In this case, the condensation located between the temperature jump and the shock wave front, may emit in the observed optical continuum.In their essential features, the gas dynamic processes during the flares in red dwarf atmospheres are the same as those in the solar atmosphere. However, the high atmospheric densities, smaller height scale in red dwarf atmospheres, and greater energy of this processes in stellar flares, give rise, in practice, to the regular generation of optical continuum. The photometric parameters of a source with n 015 cm-3, T 9000 K, and
z 10 km are in a good agreement with observations. 相似文献

This work presents model calculations of the diurnal airglow emissions from the OH Meinel bands and the O2 IR atmospheric band in the neutral atmosphere of Mars. A time-dependent photochemical model of the lower atmosphere below 80 km has been developed for this purpose. Special emphasis is placed on the nightglow emissions because of their potential to characterize the atomic oxygen profile in the 50-80 km region. Unlike on Earth, the OH Meinel emission rates are very sensitive to the details of the vibrational relaxation pathway. In the sudden death and collisional cascade limits, the maximum OH Meinel column intensities for emissions originating from a fixed upper vibrational level are calculated to be about 300 R, for transitions v′=9→v′?8, and 15,000 R, for transitions v′=1→v′=0, respectively. During the daytime the 1.27 μm emission from O2(), primarily formed from ozone photodissociation, is of the order of MegaRayleighs (MR). Due to the long radiative lifetime of O2(), a luminescent remnant of the dayglow extends to the dark side for about two hours. At night, excited molecular oxygen is expected to be produced through the three body reaction O + O + CO2. The column emission of this nighttime component of the airglow is estimated to amount to 25 kR. Both nightglow emissions, from the OH Meinel bands and the O2 IR atmospheric band, overlap in the 50-80 km region. Photodissociation of CO2 in the upper atmosphere and the subsequent transport of the atomic oxygen produced to the emitting layer are revealed as key factors in the nightglow emissions from these systems. The Mars 5 upper constraint for the product [H][O3] is revised on the basis of more recent values for the emission probabilities and collisional deactivation coefficients. 相似文献

The vector equation of radiative transfer is solved both for conservative and non-conservative planetary atmospheres using the method of discrete ordinates. The atmosphere, bounded by a Lambert bottom, is considered plane-parallel and homogeneous. The scattering in the atmosphere obeys the Rayleigh or Rayleigh-Cabannes law. The compiled package of FORTRAN codes allows us to find the Stokes parameters for such an atmosphere at arbitrary optical depth. 相似文献

On the ground of the proper wave representation the general theory is developed of radiative transfer in a homogeneous plasma with the strong magnetic field (
B
/1). The linear and nonlinear equations are derived which generalize the corresponding equations of scalar radiative transfer theory in isotropic media. The solutions of some problems are given for the cases when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface: diffuse reflection of radiation from a semiinfinite medium, provided the sources are placed far from the surface (Milne's problem) and have constant intensity, increase linearly or quadratically with the optical depths, or decrease exponentially from the surface. 相似文献

The radiative damping of trapped gravity waves in an optically thin atmosphere is studied for a stratified Boussinesq fluid. The character of the atmospheric eigenmodes depends on the distribution of the Brunt-Väisälä frequency N and the radiative relaxation time . The calculations for simple layer models show that if N is large over some finite fraction of the trapping region, then modes of long lifetime can exist. In order to suppress gravity waves entirely, it is necessary that N < 1 over the entire trapping region. Qualitative application of the results to the solar atmosphere leads to the conclusion that gravity wave eigenmodes of the solar atmosphere, although damped, are by no means eliminated by radiative effects. 相似文献

A system of nonlinear differential equations is formulated for a differentially rotating star with a small radiative dissipation. Certain dimensionless parameters are introduced, such as 1 to indicate the degree of small, but not necessarily infinitesimal, departure from the steady, axisymmetric stage, and 2 to indicate the localization of perturbations etc. As examples of application, the Goldreich-Schubert and the Solberg-Hoiland instabilities are discussed. 相似文献
