We present the results of the application of the G-mode method to the spectral classification of the icy satellites of the giant planets. G-mode is a multivariate statistical technique for the classification of samples depending on many variables. Here this method is tested on the infrared spectra acquired by the Cassini/VIMS instrument onboard the Cassini spacecraft. This work demonstrates the suitability of automatic spectral classification methods for the study of fair resolution spectra, such as those from VIMS. Our data set is composed by two different kinds of data: observations of point targets (Galilean satellites data) and observations with medium spatial resolution (Phoebe data). In both situations, the G-mode classification performed well. In the first case, of a large number of subpixel observations of the Galilean satellites, through the G-mode it was possible to find statistically meaningful spectral groups of observations. In the case of Phoebe, of some spatially resolved observations, the G-mode classification of␣the infrared spectra of the surface led to several types, dominated by the different illumination geometry of the pixels, because, due to the irregular shape of the satellite, a proper illumination correction was not trivial to apply. Nevertheless, the decrease of the confidence level of the test as well as the re-application of the G-mode on the main type found, led to further types, whose statistical distance can be related to different chemical abundances. We plan to use the G-mode also on the data coming from ongoing and future observations of the icy Saturnian satellites.In the helioseismology literature, G-modes are gravity wave modes of the frequencies of oscillations of the Sun. Here we are dealing with a clustering method, which is essentially different.*E-mail: federico.tosi@rm.iasf.cnr.it  相似文献

We consider the ejection of one stellar system from the centre of another stellar system, representing both by Plummer models. Using the impulsive appoximation, we derive analytically the overall and differential energy changes and also the mass escape from the systems. We compare the results with those obtained for colliding systems.We find that the disruptive effects are considerably less in the case of ejection. If the ejected system is compact, it escapes with negligible disruptive effects.In the case of ejections, stars are also accelerated in the direction of motion of the system. Using a dimensionless parameter λ defined as the ratio of the squares of the stellar velocity perturbations in the direction of motion of the system and perpendicular to it, we find a significant difference between ejecting systems and colliding systems. In fast head-on collisions of spherical stellar systems, the systems become elongated in the direction perpendicular to the direction of motion whereas in the case of ejecting systems, they also become elongated in the direction of motion. These effects are more pronounced in the outer regions of the smaller system and the innner regions of the bigger system. These effects are enhanced if the ejected system is compact.  相似文献

The evolution of the galaxy mass function MF (and luminosity function LF) depending on merging of galaxies is discussed. The richness and masses of most massive (and most luminous) galaxies of a cluster are chosen as a characteristic of the bright edge of LF. Mergers are simulated by a Monte-Carlo method. The probability of merging depends on the masses of galaxies. The ratio of the current number of galaxies to the initial one plays the role of the time scale. Transformation to real time and redshift is realized with help of the Smoluchowsky kinetic equation (SE) solution, describing the merging process and making possible to find the dependence of the galaxy number on time. The dependencies of richness, masses and magnitude differences of most massive and brightest galaxies of a cluster on redshift have been obtained. Creation of cD-galaxy has been retraced on small redshifts. The masses of the second and less massive cluster galaxies grow, but after the creation of the cD-galaxy they begin to decrease. Comparison of obtained results with data of the catalogues is provided. Correspondence in mentioned dependencies is observed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Fundamental scientific questions concerning the internal structure and dynamics of the Moon, and their implications on the Earth-Moon System, are driving the deployment of a new broadband seismological network on the surface of the Moon. Informations about lunar seismicity and seismic subsurface models from the Apollo missions are used as a priori information in this study to optimise the geometry of future lunar seismic networks in order to best resolve the seismic interior structure of the Moon. Deep moonquake events and simulated meteoroid impacts are the assumed seismic sources. Synthetic P and S wave arrivals computed in a radial seismic model of the Moon are the assumed seismic data. The linearised estimates of resolution and covariance of radial seismic velocity perturbations can be computed for a particular seismic network geometry. The non-linear inverse problem relating the seismic station positions to the linearised estimates of covariance and resolution of radial seismic velocity perturbations is written and solved by the Neighbourhood Algorithm. This optimisation study favours near side seismic station positions at southern latitudes in order to constrain the deep mantle structure from deep moonquake data at large epicentral distances. The addition of a far side station allows to divide by two the size of the error bar on the seismic velocity model. The monitoring of lunar impact flashes from the Earth allows to improve the radial seismic model in the top of the mantle by adding much more meteor impact data at short epicentral distances due to the high accuracy of the space/time location of these seismic sources. Such meteor impact detections may be necessary to investigate the 3D structure of the lunar crust.  相似文献

A pulsar has the very stable rotation and can be used as the time standard. The astrometric parameters and astrophysical parameters of many pulsars, such as the spatial position, proper motion, distance, rotation period and its derivative, etc., can be all accurately determined. Since the pulsar can provide the time signal and the coordinates of its spatial position simultaneously, the pulsar navigation system installed on a spacecraft enables the autonomous navigation of the spacecraft to be realized. Firstly, the position of the spacecraft is predicted based on the equation of orbit dynamics of the spacecraft and then the Kalman filtering is applied to calculating the estimation error of the spacecraft position through the difference between the pulse arrival time observed on the spacecraft and the predicted pulse arrival time, thereby modifying the position of the spacecraft. Finally, the effects of the initial error, measuring accuracy of the pulse arrival time and number of pulsars on the navigation accuracy are analyzed.  相似文献

Exploring the global dynamics of a planetary system involves computing integrations for an entire subset of its parameter space. This becomes time-consuming in presence of a planet close to the central star, and in practice this planet will be very often omitted. We derive for this problem an averaged Hamiltonian and the associated equations of motion that allow us to include the average interaction of the fast planet. We demonstrate the application of these equations in the case of the μ Arae system where the ratio of the two fastest periods exceeds 30. In this case, the effect of the inner planet is limited because the planet’s mass is one order of magnitude below the other planetary masses. When the inner planet is massive, considering its averaged interaction with the rest of the system becomes even more crucial.  相似文献

As shown by a series of previous researches, on the solar photospheric surface, together with the intensi?cation of longitudinal magnetic ?eld, the ob- served energy of seismic waves decreases. In order to further investigate the relation between seismic waves and magnetic ?elds, using the data of Helioseis- mic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) and via the extrapolation of the potential ?eld from the line-of-sight magnetic ?eld, we can get the total intensity of magnetic ?eld and correlate it with the energy of seismic waves. By ?tting the energies of p-mode seismic waves within a certain region of total magnetic ?eld, the relation between the energy of seismic waves and the total intensity of magnetic ?eld can be obtained. Our study has con?rmed that between the energy of seismic waves and the total intensity of magnetic ?eld there is a stronger correlation. As shown by the results of various active regions, the tendencies of decrease of the energy of p-mode seismic waves with the total intensity of magnetic ?eld below 500 GS are very close to each other, but in the range from 500 GS to 1000 GS there are small differences. Besides, between the logarithm of the energy of p-mode seis- mic waves and the total intensity of magnetic ?eld there is a rather strong linear correlation. As revealed by comparing the results of Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) and HMI, although in totality the observational results of magnetic ?elds of MDI are larger than those of HMI, but the results of comparison and analysis on the relation between the normalized energy of p-mode seismic waves and the intensity of magnetic ?eld do not differ much in these two cases.  相似文献

Mars     
Mars is the fourth planet out from the sun. It is a terrestrial planet with a density suggesting a composition roughly similar to that of the Earth. Its orbital period is 687 days, its orbital eccentricity is 0.093 and its rotational period is about 24 hours. Mars has two small moons of asteroidal shapes and sizes (about 11 and 6 km mean radius), the bigger of which, Phobos, orbits with decreasing semimajor orbit axis. The decrease of the orbit is caused by the dissipation of tidal energy in the Martian mantle. The other satellite, Deimos, orbits close to the synchronous position where the rotation period of a planet equals the orbital period of its satellite and has hardly evolved with time. Mars has a tenous atmosphere composed mostly of CO with strong winds and with large scale aeolian transport of surface material during dust storms and in sublimation-condensation cycles between the polar caps. The planet has a small magnetic field, probably not generated by dynamo action in the core but possibly due to remnant magnetization of crustal rock acquired earlier from a stronger magnetic field generated by a now dead core dynamo. A dynamo powered by thermal power alone would have ceased a few billions of years ago as the core cooled to an extent that it became stably stratified. Mars' topography and its gravity field are dominated by the Tharsis bulge, a huge dome of volcanic origin. Tharsis was the major center of volcanic activity, a second center is Elysium about 100° in longitude away. The Tharsis bulge is a major contributor to the non-hydrostaticity of the planet's figure. The moment of inertia factor together with the mass and the radius presently is the most useful constraint for geophysical models of the Martian interior. It has recently been determined by Doppler range measurements to the Mars Pathfinder Lander to be (Folkner et al. 1997). In addition, models of the interior structure use the chemistry of the SNC meteorites which are widely believed to have originated on Mars. According to the models, Mars is a differentiated planet with a 100 to 200 km thick basaltic crust, a metallic core with a radius of approximately half the planetary radius, and a silicate mantle. Mantle dynamics is essential in forming the elements of the surface tectonics. Models of mantle convection find that the pressure-induced phase transformations of -olivine to -spinel, -spinel to -spinel, and -spinel to perovskite play major roles in the evolution of mantle flow fields and mantle temperature. It is not very likely that the -spinel to perovskite transition is present in Mars today, but a few 100 km thick layer of perovskite may have been present in the lower mantle immediately above the core-mantle boundary early in the Martian history when mantle temperatures were hotter than today. The phase transitions act to reduce the number of upwellings to a few major plumes which is consistent with the bipolar distribution of volcanic centers of Mars. The phase transitions also cause a partial layering of the lower mantle which keeps the lower mantle and the core from extensive cooling over the past aeons. A relatively hot, fluid core is the most widely accepted explanation for the present lack of a self-generated magnetic field. Growth of an inner core which requires sub-liquidus temperatures in the core would have provided an efficient mechanism to power a dynamo up to the present day. Received 10 May 1997  相似文献

By reviewing the methods of mass measurements of neutron stars in four different kinds of systems, i.e., the high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), double neutron star systems (DNSs) and neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) binary systems, we have collected the orbital parameters of 40 systems. By using the boot-strap method and the Monte-Carlo method, we have rebuilt the likelihood probability curves of the measured masses of 46 neutron stars. The statistical analysis of the simulation results shows that the masses of neutron stars in the X-ray neutron star systems and those in the radio pulsar systems exhibit different distributions. Besides, the Bayes statistics of these four different kind systems yields the most-probable probability density distributions of these four kind systems to be (1.340 ± 0.230)M8, (1, 505 ± 0.125)M8,(1.335 ± 0.055)M8 and (1.495 ± 0.225)M8, respectively. It is noteworthy that the masses of neutron stars in the HMXB and DNS systems are smaller than those in the other two kind systems by approximately 0.16M8. This result is consistent with the theoretical model of the pulsar to be accelerated to the millisecond order of magnitude via accretion of approximately 0.2M8. If the HMXBs and LMXBs are respectively taken to be the precursors of the BNS and NS-WD systems, then the influence of the accretion effect on the masses of neutron stars in the HMXB systems should be exceedingly small. Their mass distributions should be very close to the initial one during the formation of neutron stars. As for the LMXB and NS-WD systems, they should have already under- gone the process of suffcient accretion, hence there arises rather large deviation from the initial mass distribution.  相似文献

Since the SSW (Solar Soft Ware) has been developed to the version 2, in comparison with the version 1 the performance of the integration calculation of the Bremsstrahlung radiation caused by high-energy electrons is improved. On the basis of the version 2 of SSW, we have made further improvement on the integration calculation. The comparison between a few schemes of Bremsstrahlung integration shows that our final scheme is faster than the version 2 for 2∼5 times. Compared with the version 1 and version 2 of SSW, the integration accuracy has been also improved a lot, even under the default control accuracy there will be no spikes appearing in photon spectra. In addition, the time consumption of integration is no longer sensitive to the upper limit of the integration. The improvement of the integration performance enables the accurate Bremsstrahlung cross-section be used to calculate the Bremsstrahlung integration. Compared with the result of approximate Bremsstrahlung cross-section, the result of accurate Bremsstrahlung cross-section gives a little smaller photon flux (≤4%), and the integration time increases about 30%.  相似文献

This paper describes a new approach based on variational principles to calculate the radial distribution of tidal energy dissipation in any satellite. The advantage of the model with respect to classical solutions, is that it relates in a straightforward way the radial distribution of the time-averaged dissipation rate to its sensitivity to the corresponding distribution of viscoelastic parameters. This method is applied to Io-, Europa-, and Titan-like interiors, and it is tested against the results obtained by two classical methods by determining global dissipation as well as radial and lateral distributions within satellite interiors. By exploring systematically the different parameters defining the interior models, we demonstrate that the presence of a deep ocean below an outer ice layer strongly influences the tidal dissipation distribution in both the outer ice layer and in the innermost part of the satellite. On the one hand, the ocean by imposing a large radial displacement at the base of the outer ice I layer, controls the distribution of tidal strain rate within the outer layer, making the tidal strain rate field very weakly sensitive to the viscosity variations. Conversely, in the high-pressure ice layer below the ocean, both tidal strain rate and dissipation are very sensitive to any variation of the ice viscosity. On the other hand, for identical structures of the mantle and of the core, the presence of a subsurface ocean reduces the strength of dissipation in the silicate mantle. The existence of a liquid layer within Europa makes models of the silicate mantle less dissipative than the predictions for Io.  相似文献

We have investigated the superfine structure of the BL Lac object 1803+784, determined the ejector location, the helical structure of the jet, its parameters and relationship to the precession and nutation of the ejector rotation axis, and established the relationship to the periods of enhanced nuclear activity. The multimode precession is shown to be produced by the reactive action of the ejected relativistic plasma flow. The visibility of helix-structure fragments is determined by the transparency of the surrounding thermal plasma—the cocoon wall. The absorption in the cocoon wall has been found to depend on the distance from the core. The absorption of the synchrotron radio emission from the ejector region at 18 cm reaches ~30 dB. The spectra of the compact components located near the core have a low-frequency cutoff that is determined by the reabsorption of the synchrotron emission and by the absorption in the cocoon wall. The spectral index of the low-frequency part is α = 3.1–4.2.  相似文献

The distribution of meteor signals reflected from a backscatter radar is considered according to their duration. This duration time (T) is used to classify the meteor echoes and to calculate the mass index (S) of different meteoroids of shower plus sporadic background. Observational data on particle size distribution of the Geminid meteor shower are very scarce, particularly at low latitudes. In this paper the observational data from Gadanki radar (13.46°N, 79.18°E) have been used to determine the particle size distribution and the number density of meteoroids inside the stream of the Geminid meteor shower. The mean variation of meteor number density across the stream has been determined for three echo duration classes, T<0.4, T=0.4–1 and T>1 s. We are more interested in the appearance of echoes of various durations and therefore meteors of various masses in order to understand more on the filamentary structure of the stream. It is observed that the faint particle flux peaks earlier than the larger particles. We found a decreasing trend in the mass index values from the day of peak activity to the next observation days. The mass index profile was found to be U-shaped with a minimum value near the time of peak activity. The observed minimum s values are 1.64±0.05 and 1.65±0.04 in the years 2003 and 2005, respectively. The activity of the shower indicates the mass segregation of meteoroids inside the stream. Our results are best comparable with the “scissors” structure model of the meteoroid stream formation of Ryabova [2007. Mathematical modeling of the Geminid meteoroid stream. Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 375, 1371–1380] by considering the asteroid 3200 Phaethon as an extinct comet.  相似文献
