The role of catastrophic collisions in the evolution of the asteroids is discussed in detail, employing extrapolations of experimental results on the outcomrs of high-velocity impacts. We determine the range of the probable largest collision for target asteroids of different sizes during the solar system's lifetime, and we conclude that all the asteroids have undergone collisional events capable of overcoming the material's solid-state cohesion. Such events do not lead inescapably to complete disruption of the targets, because (i) for a previously unfractured target, experiments show that fragments of significant size can survive breakup, depending on the energy and geometry of the collision; (ii) self-gravitation can easily cause a reaccumulation of fragments for targets exceeding a critical size, which seems to be of the order of 100 km. In the intermediate diameter range 100?D ?300 km, where formation of gravitationally bound “rubble piles” is frequent, the transfer of angular momentum can be large enough to produce objects with triaxial equilibrium shapes (Jacobi ellipsoids) or to cause fission into binary systems. In the same size range, low-velocity escape of collisional fragments can also occur, leading to the formation of dynamical families. Asteroids smaller than ～100 km are mostly multigeneration fragments, while for the collisional process produces nearly spheroidal objects covered by megaregoliths; whether their rotation is “primordial” or collisionally generated depends critically on the past flux of colliders. The complex and size-dependent phenomenology predicted by the theory compares satisfactorily with the observational evidence, as derived both by a classification of asteroids in terms of their size, spin rate, and lightcurve amplitude, and by a comparison between the rotational properties of family and nonfamily asteroids. The fundamental result of this investigation is that almost all asteroids are outcomes of catastrophic collisions, and that these events cause either complete fragmentation of the target bodies or, at least, drastic readjustments of their internal structure, shape, and spin rate. 相似文献

The problem of the origin of the irregular satellites is solved readily in the context of a hypothesis involving explosion of the massive ice envelopes of the Galilean satellites saturated by electrolysis products. The thrown-off unexploded (primary) ice fragments of the outermost cold layers of the envelopes are also saturated by electrolysis products. In the course of explosive ejection their internal energy increases due to shock wave heating, as a result of which they will be able to detonate in subsequent sufficiently energetic collisions. The secondary fragments from new explosions may acquire additional velocity up to a few km s–1 without breakup into small pieces.Gravitational perturbations by the parent satellites can eject the primary fragments moving near their orbits into the periphery of or beyond Jupiter's sphere of action. If such a fragment explodes in the outer zone of the sphere, then secondary fragments may become irregular satellites resulting in the so-called internal capture (the possibilities of capture considered earlier involved only bodies entering the sphere of action from outside).The mass of the primary fragment responsible for the inner (direct) group of Jupiter's irregular satellites is estimated as 1019 kg, and the additional velocity acquired by secondary fragments as 1.3 km s–1; evaluation of the mass of the fragment responsible for the outer (retrograde) group yields 1018 kg, and that of the additional velocity of secondary fragments, 2 km s–1.The ice envelopes of the Galilean and similar moonlike satellites should contain impurities corresponding to the composition of type C1 carbonaceous chondrites; therefore after sublimation of water ice the irregular satellites (just as type C asteroids, the Trojans and comets) exhibit spectro-photometric properties similar to those of C-type objects. 相似文献

Secondary explosions of the primary ice fragments ejected in the explosion of the electrolyzed massive ice envelopes of the Galilean satellites are capable of imparting velocities of up to ~5km s–1 to the secondary fragments. As a result, the secondary fragments can enter the orbits of the irregular satellites (Agafonova and Drobyshevski, 1984b) and the Trojan libration orbits. In the latter case a perturbation velocity of V 0.3–2 km s–1 is sufficient.The primary fragments ejected by the gravitational perturbations due to the Galilean satellites sunward from Jupiter's sphere of action move faster relative to the Sun than Jupiter does and therefore reach their first aphelion ahead of Jupiter in the neighborhood of L
4. At the same time the fragments propelled from Jupiter's sphere of action beyond the planet's orbit approach it again in their perihelia behind Jupiter in the region of L
5. The concentration of the fragments and, hence, the frequency of their collisions and explosions at L
4 turn out to be much greater than those at L
5. As a result, the number of the secondary fragments of diameter 15 km captured into libration orbits ahead of Jupiter can be as high as many hundreds and should exceed by more than a factor 3.5 that captured behind Jupiter.Since the icy mix of the fragments contains hydrocarbons and particulate material (silicates and the like), after ice sublimation from the surface layers the Trojans should reveal type C and RD spectra typical for Jupiter's irregular satellites, comet nuclei and other distant ice bodies of similar origin. Among the Trojans there cannot be rocky or metallic objects which are known to exist in the main asteroid belt.It is shown that a velocity perturbation of 150–200 m s–1 resulting from a purely mechanical impact of two bodies may be sufficient to move collision fragments from the orbits of the Trojans to horseshoe-shaped trajectories with a subsequent transfer to the cometary orbits of Jupiter's family. 相似文献

Harris (Icarus24, 190–192) has suggested that the maximum size of particles in a planetary ring is controlled by collisional fragmentation rather than by tidal stress. While this conclusion is probably true, estimated radius limits must be revised upward from Harris' values of a few kilometers by at least an order of magnitude. Accretion of particles within Roche's limit is also possible. These considerations affect theories concerning the evolution of Saturn's rings, of the Moon, and of possible former satellites of Mercury and Venus. In the case of Saturn's rings, comparison of various theoretical scenarios with available observational evidence suggests that the rings formed from the breakup of larger particles rather than from original condensation as small particles. This process implies a distribution of particle sizes in Saturn's rings possibly ranging up to ～100 km but with most cross-section in cm-scale particles. 相似文献

It is suggested that Phaethon — a hypothetical planet whose breakup gave rise to the asteroid belt — has a structure similar to that of Callisto, and thus consisted of a rocky core (40%; in mass) and an ice envelope (60%). Total breakup of the planet becomes possible in an explosition of the electrolysis products accumulated in the ice in the form of a solid solution if the planet mass M 0.5 M. Assuming M = 0.5 M we obtain 1750 km for the planet's radius with the envelope's thickness of 750km. Application of the hydrodynamic theory of detonation to the (2H2 + O2) solution in ice reveals that depending on the actual critical temperature which for conventional explosives lies in the range 700–900 K the minimum (2H2 + O2) concentration in ice required for its explosion is 13–18%;. 相似文献

The impacts of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 left spots on Jupiter with diameters on the order of tens of thousands of kilometers, which have the appearance of debris fields strewn upon the Jovian cloud tops. In this note we employ a measurement of the optical depth of the debris at the impact site of fragment G to estimate mass in the debris field and lower limits to the G fragment mass of 4×1012 – 4×1013 g and diameter of 0.1 – 0.3 km.The masses and sizes of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 are still uncertain, with estimated sizes ranging from 0.1 to 4 km. The size of the cometary body before breakup is believed to have been between 1 and 10 km. (Asphaug & Benz 1994; Solen 1994; Weaver et al. 1994, Scott & Melosh 1993). These estimates were based on pre-impact images of the cometary fragments. A complimentary technique is to use post-impact images of the spots left on Jupiter to infer the sizes and masses of the fragments.Structure in the underlying clouds is clearly visible through spots imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, implying that the debris fields are relatively thin. Shortly after the G impact, A'Hearn and collaborators (paper in preparation) used the University of Maryland CCD System at the Perth Observatory to image Jupiter in a variety of bandpasses. While a complete reduction is still underway, a preliminary examination of the raw data shows that the spot at the impact site of fragment G, when near the central meridian roughly three hours after impact, had an average optical depth of roughly 0.05 in several bandpasses between 0.62 and 0.73µm. The measured diameter of the spot was approximately D = 15,000 km.In this note we do not present the data for optical depth, but rather we show that measurements of this type can be used to determine the mass of the solid particles in the clouds and thus to set limits on the mass of the impactor. We assume that the spot consisted of a thin layer of dust in the upper atmosphere. Assuming a one-particle layer covering a fraction of 0.05 of the spot area (a valid assumption for an optically thin cloud), the mass of matter in the spot is M = (0.05/4) dD2, where and d are the particle density and diameter. Particle sizes are not directly measured. However, the particle diameters cannot be much less than 1 µm because the CCD observations when compared with HST ultraviolet images show that extinction is not strongly wavelength dependent at optical and near-uv wavelengths. Typical grain sizes in comets and in the zodiacal dust range from 1 to 10 µm. For particle densities of 0.5 g cm–3 and assumed particle diameters in the range 1 – 10 µm, we find masses, M = 4×1012 – 4×1013 g. Assuming an impactor density of 0.5 g cm–3 (Asphaug & Benz 1994), the corresponding fragment diameters are 0.1 – 0.3 km. Larger sizes for the grains would increase the estimated mass.The observed debris may not be actual comet dust. Since temperatures in the fireball are estimated to be several thousand degrees, all the material in the fragment should have been vaporized (Sekanina et al 1995; Takata et al 1994; Zahnle & MacLow 1994). Therefore the debris material could consist of recondensed matter, perhaps organics, from the fireball. An impactor collides with roughly its own mass of atmospheric material before disruption, so the estimates for the impactor mass hold to order of magnitude even if the debris contains matter with contributions from originally atmospheric gases.The estimate of 0.1 – 0.3 km diameter for the G fragment is a lower limit because the object would also contain material, for example ices, that would not appear in the debris field. Furthermore, since the HST images show structure in the spots that is unresolved in the observations used here, the spot may not be optically thin at all points, but only on average, and this leads to our estimate being a lower limit for the mass of particles. As noted above, the particles are unlikely to be much less than 1 µm in size; particles much larger than 10µm would also imply a larger mass of particles. The derived fragment size is comparable to those estimated from pre-impact observations. 相似文献

We report new visual and 20-μm photometry obtained when Hektor was seen nearly along its rotation axis. The visual amplitude was near its minimum, only 0.06 mag, confirming the Dunlap-Gehrels (1969) rotation model. The new observations confirm and refine the large size and low albedo assigned by Cruikshank (1977) from observations of the opposite rotation pole. The albedo of this pole is found to be pv = 0.022 ± 0.003, overlapping the uncertainty of Cruikshank's 0.03 value for the opposite pole. The low albedo makes Hektor roughly three times bigger than estimates of a few years ago. The light variations are interpreted as due to elongated shape. If this is correct, Hektor is both the largest and most elongated known Trojan, as well as being the most elongated known asteroid of its size. From considerations of Trojans' peculiar properties, we propose that Hektor is a somewhat dumbbell shaped object roughly 150 × 300 km in size, resulting from partial coalescence of two primitive spheroidal planetesimals during a relatively low-speed collision in the Trojan Lagrangian cloud, with energy too low for complete disruption. Calculations supporting this model indicate that Trojans may be less altered by collisions than belt asteroids. Observations in 1979 and 1980 can help test this model. A note added on July 17, 1978 relates our result to recent evidence of possible binary asteroid pairs, which may also arise from early low-velocity asteroid-asteroid interactions. 相似文献

We determined the limb profile of the extremely Zeeman-sensitive emission line of Mg i at 12.32 m (811.58 cm–1) during the May 1994 annular eclipse, using the 3.5-m ARC telescope at the Apache Point site on Sacramento Peak, New Mexico. Spectra were recorded at 0.1 cm–1 spectral resolution and 1 s time resolution using a cryogenic grating spectrometer. The time derivatives of the observed line energy and continuum intensity were used to infer high-resolution profiles of the solar limb. Data were obtained at second contact only, since clouds prevented observations at third contact. We find that the emission line energy peaks very close to the 12 m continuum limb. This agrees with our result from the 1991 total eclipse over Mauna Kea, and also with non-LTE radiative transfer theory for this line, which predicts an upper-photospheric origin. However, in 1991, line emission remained observable as high as 2000 km above the continuum limb, whereas the 1994 data show observable emission to only 500 km. This difference greatly exceeds any applicable errors, or sensitivity differences in either data set, and must be attributed to spatial and/or temporal inhomogeneities in the solar limb emission of this line. We discuss possible causes of these inhomogeneities, and implications for observations at far-IR and submillimeter wavelengths. 相似文献

Cometary nuclei are being actively studied using spacecrafts. In November 2010, the Deep Impact spacecraft (EPOXI project, NASA) approached the nucleus of comet 103P/Hartley 2 and returned images of this small celestial body having a dumbbell shape with a smooth neck. Since rotation of the nucleus leads to centrifugal forces, it is assumed that the dumbbell neck appeared as the result of their effect and the neck is lengthening slowly but continuously, which should eventually result in fragmentation of the nucleus. This paper considers dynamical evolution of the nucleus of comet Hartley 2. Calculations show that centrifugal forces exceed gravitational forces in the narrow part, and the nucleus can indeed undergo upcoming breakup and fragmentation into two parts. If there are no external perturbations, both parts of the celestial body will drift apart to a distance of less than 1 km from each other. The nucleus of comet Hartley 2 is an observed example of breakup of a celestial body. Asteroid Itokawa is considered, which has a similar feature but does not seem to undergo breakup. 相似文献

The results of the experimental study of the interaction of polyethylene impactors with a massive flat organic-glass target are presented. The impactor speed ranged from 3.2 to 5.84 km/s. A statistical analysis of the mass and size distributions of fragments of the impact and chop craters of the target is done. As a result, some scaling relations are established for the geometric size of the craters, the cumulative ejected mass, the mass of the largest fragment ejected from the impact crater, and for the dust mass. The mass distribution of the impact-crater fragments is shown to obey a power law and agrees well with other authors" data for some materials. The critical impact energy

We have used Pollack et al.'s 1976 calculations of the quasi-equilibrium contraction of Saturn to study the influence of the planet's early high luminosity on the formation of its satellites and rings. Assuming that the condensation of ices ceased at the same time within Jupiter's and Saturn's primordial nebulae, and using limits for the time of cessation derived for Jupiter's system by Pollack and Reynolds (1974) and Cameron and Pollack (1975), we arrive at the following tentative conclusions. Titan is the innermost satellite at whose position a methane-containing ice could condense, a result consistent with the presence of methane in this satellite's atmosphere. Water ice may have been able to condense at the position of all the satellites, a result consistent with the occurrence of low-density satellites close to Saturn. The systematic decrease in the mass of Saturn's regular satellites with decreasing distance from Saturn may have been caused partially by the larger time intervals for the closer satellites between the start of contraction and the first condensation of ices at their positions and between the start of contraction and the time at which Saturn's radius became less than a satellite's orbital radius. Ammonia ices, principally NH4SH, were able to condense at the positions of all but the innermost satellites.Water ice may bave been able to condense in the region of the rings close to the end of the condensation period. We speculate that the rings are unique to Saturn because on the one hand, temperatures within Jupiter's Roche limit never became cool enough for ice particles to form before the end of the condensation period and on the other hand, ice particles formed only very early within Uranus' and Neptune's Roche limits, and were eliminated by gas drag effects that caused them to spiral into the planet before the gas of these planets' nebula was eliminated. Gas drag would also have eliminated any rocky particles initially present inside the Roche limit.We also derive an independent estimate of several million years for the time between the start of the quasi-equilibrium contraction of Saturn and the cessation of condensation. This estimate is based on the density and mass characteristics of Saturn's satellites. Using this value rather than the one found for Jupiter's satellites, we find that the above conclusions about the rings and the condensation of methane-and ammonia-containing ices remain valid. 相似文献

The current database of craterform structures in Fennoscandia contains 22 structures of impact origin and about fifty other structures which lack sufficient evidence for impact. The discovery rate of new structures has been one or two per year during the past ten years. The proven impact structures are located in southern Fennoscandia and the majority have been found in Proterozoic target rocks. The age of the structures varies from prehistoric to 1000 Ma and their diameters (D) from 0.04 km to 55 km. Nine of the structures contain impact melt. A characteristic feature of the Fennoscandian impact record is a relatively large number of small ( 5 km) but old (> 200 Ma) structures: this is a result of success of geophysical methods to discover small but old impact structures in an eroded shield covered with relatively thin overburden. Some of the large circular structures in satellite images and/or in geophysical maps may represent deeply eroded scars of very old impacts, but due to the lack of shock metamorphic features, impact-generated rocks or identified ejecta layers, they cannot yet be classified as impact sites. Two huge structures are proposed here as possible impact sites on the basis of circular satellite images and distinct geophysical anomalies: the Lycksele structure in northern Sweden (D ~ 120 km, see also Witschard, 1984) and the Valga structure in Latvia/Estonia (D ~ 180 km). However, endogeneous explanations, like buried granites, basement domings, or fault-bounded blocks are also possible for these structures. Hints, such as distal ejecta layers or impact produced breccia dykes, of an Archaean or Early Proterozoic impact structure have not been found in Fennoscandia so far. New ways of searching for these structures are proposed with particular emphasis on high-resolution integrated geophysical methods. The impact cratering rate in Fennoscandia is ~ 2.0 · 10–14 km–2 a–1 (for craters with D > 3 km) corresponding to about two events per every 100 Ma for the last 700 Ma. Due to erosion, this is a minimal estimate but is higher than the global rate probably due to strong research activity for finding impact structures in Fennoscandia. 相似文献

Speckle interferometry of 532 Herculina performed on January 17 and 18, 1982, yields triaxial ellipsoid dimensions of (263 ± 14) × (218 ± 12) × (215 ± 12) km, and a north pole for the asteroid within 7° of RA = 7b47m and DEC = ?39° (ecliptic coordinates γ = 132° β = ?59°). In addition, a “spot” some 75% brighter than the rest of the asteroid is inferred from both speckle observations and Herculina's lightcurve history. This bright complex, centered at asterocentric latitude ?35°, longitude 145–165°, extends over a diameter of 55° (115 km) of the asteroid's surface. No evidence for a satellite is found from the speckle observations, which leads to an upper limit of 50 km for the diameter of any satellite with an albedo the same as or higher than Herculina. 相似文献

The size of a radio quiet zone (RQZ) is largely determined by transmission losses of interfering signals, which can be divided into free space loss and diffraction loss. The free space loss is dominant. The diffraction loss presented in this paper is described as unified smooth spherical and knife edge diffractions, which is a function of minimum path clearance. We present a complete method to calculate the minimum path clearance. The cumulative distribution of the lapse rate of refractivity (g n ), between the earth surface and 1 km above, is studied by using Chinese radio climate data. Because the size of an RQZ is proportional to g n , the cumulative distribution of g n can be used as an approximation for the size of the RQZ. When interference originates from mobile communication or television transmissions at a frequency of 408 MHz, and $\overline {g_n } $ is 40 N/km, where the refractivity $N=\left( {n-1} \right) \times 10^6$ , the size of the RQZ would be 180 km for a mobile source or 210 km for a television source, with a probability in the range of 15–100% in different months and for different stations. When speaking of the size of an RQZ, the radius in the case of a circular zone is implied. It results that a size of an RQZ is mainly influenced by transmission loss rather than effective radiated power. In the case where the distance between an interfering source and a radio astronomical observatory is about 100 km, at a frequency of 408 MHz, the allowable effective radiated power of the interfering source should be less than ?30 dBW with a probability of about 85% for $\overline {g_n } $ equals 40 N/km, or ?42 dBW with a probability less than 1 % for $\overline {g_n } $ equals 80 N/km. 相似文献

This paper considers the scaling of impact effects with impactor size and velocity (or planetary radius) and the retention of heat deposited by impacts in a solid planet (i.e., with no convective motions). Some previously used scalings are inconsistent with the general scaling rules of Holsapple and Schmidt (1982), and no study of impact heating has considered the full permissible range of scalings. A sample physical impact model which spans this range is presented. There are three length scales which control impact heat retention: the depth scales of heat deposition and impact stirring and the ratio κ/ν, where κ is the thermal diffusivity and ν is the upward velocity of the accreting surface. These are evaluated in the contexts of the general scaling rules and Safronov's (1972) distribution of impactor sizes. It is found that the effeciency of heat retention (i.e., the fraction of deposited heat which is retained) is independent of the planetary growth rate. It may be low at small planetary radii, but tends to level out around 3000 km radius to values of 40–70%. Combined with an assumed heat deposition effeciency of 20%, this gives melting at a radius between about 2000 and 3000 km in terrestrial planets. 相似文献

Radial velocities for 15 stars with high proper motions were measured as a result of spectral observations, conducted with the NES echelle spectrograph of the 6-m BTA telescope in the wavelength range of 3550–5100 Å with a spectral resolution of R=60000. The standard deviation of the measured velocity does not exceed σ ≤ 0.9 km/s for the stars with metallicity [Fe/H]? ?1, and σ ≤ 1.1 km/s for [Fe/H]? ?1. The heliocentric velocities measured with high accuracy in combination with trigonometrical parallaxes and proper motions from the HIPPARCOS catalog allowed us to determine the distances and parameters of the galactic orbits of the stars under study. In general they are located within 100 pc; the binarity of several program stars is confirmed. 相似文献

Using multiwavelength observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), we investigate the mechanism of two successive eruptions (F1 and F2) of a filament in active region NOAA 11444 on 27 March 2012. The filament was inverse J-shaped and lay along a quasi-circular polarity inversion line (PIL). The first part of the filament erupted at \(\sim2{:}30\) UT on 27 March 2012 (F1), the second part at around 4:20 UT on the same day (F2). A precursor or preflare brightening was observed below the filament main axis about 30 min before F1. The brightening was followed by a jet-like ejection below the filament, which triggered its eruption. Before the eruption of F2, the filament seemed to be trapped within the overlying arcade loops for almost 1.5 h before it successfully erupted. Interestingly, we observe simultaneously contraction (\(\sim12~\mbox{km}\,\mbox{s}^{-1}\)) and expansion (\(\sim20~\mbox{km}\,\mbox{s}^{-1}\)) of arcade loops in the active region before F2. Magnetograms obtained with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) show converging motion of the opposite polarities, which result in flux cancellation near the PIL. We suggest that flux cancellation at the PIL resulted in a jet-like ejection below the filament main axis, which triggered F1, similar to the tether-cutting process. F2 was triggered by removal of the overlying arcade loops via reconnection. Both filament eruptions produced high-speed (\(\sim1000~\mbox{km}\,\mbox{s}^{-1}\)) coronal mass ejections. 相似文献

Knowledge of a star's rotation period and ν sin i can be used to select stars that are seen pole-on, and thus are well suited to planetary searches by astrometric or direct-imaging means. A table of such stars is presented. This method is not suitable for discriminating equator-on systems and so cannot be used to select candidates for the photometric method of W. J. Borucki and A. L. Summers (1984, Icarus58, 121–134). 相似文献

The cometary images taken on 1986 January 8.590 and 8.638 UT (R-0.9 AU, ~ 1.29 AU) at Gurushikhar, Mt. Abu, India (24 °39 N, 72 °43 E alt: 1700 m) show distinct condensation region in the tail direction. The size of the condensation region is 4 × 103 km. The condensation region showed up strongly in the blue emission, implying the abundance of CO+. It was inferred to be moving with a velocity of 37 ± 3 km/s relative to the comet at a distance of 2.3 × 105 km from the nucleus in the tailward direction.The analysis show that the condensation was a result of rapid ionization mechanism, with a time scale of \~103 to 104 sec. The most probable mechanism for producing the ionization region was found to be the discharge of cross tail electric current passing through the neutral sheet in the near nucleus region followed by an outburst observed in IR wavelengths at 8.1 UT. It was accelerated by J × B drift at a rate of ~24 cm/sec2 to the position observed by us.This feature, most probably is the precursor of the first dramatic Disconnection Event (DE) observed in Halley's Comet at Jan.10.375 UT. This supports the conjecture that the tail features originate in the coma with a velocity of ~20–40 km/s. 相似文献

A spectral analysis of the time series of daily values of ten solar coronal radio emissions in the range 275–1755 MHz, the 2800 MHz radio flux, several UV emission lines in the chromosphere and in the transition region, and sunspot number, for six successive intervals of 132 days each, during June 1997–July 1999 (26 months) showed that the spectral characteristics were not the same for all intervals. Details are presented for Interval 1, where there was no 27-day oscillation, and Interval 2, where there was a strong 27-day oscillation. In every interval, periodicities were remarkably similar in most of these indices, indicating that the solar atmosphere (chromosphere and corona) rotated as one block, up to a height of 150000 km. Above this height, the periodicities became obscure. Near the solar surface, sunspots showed extra or different periodicities, some of which vanished at low altitudes. For the 27-day feature as also for the long-term rise during 1996–1998, the maximum percentage changes were for radio emissions near 1350–1620 MHz. 相似文献
