New far-infrared observations of the NH3 rotation-inversion manifolds in the spectrum of Jupiter have been inverted with the use oftthe detailed ammonia line opacity. A temperature of 160°K at a 1-bar pressure level and a temperature of 105°K for the minimum temperature of the inversion level at 0.15 bars have been derived for gaseous absorption due to NH3, H2, and He. The overall fit to the brightness temperature as a function of frequency σ is within ±1°K for 100 ≤ σ ≤ 400 cm?1 except for the centers of the NH3 rotation-inversion manifolds where for J ≥ 7 the fit is about 5°K too high. In the continuum for 400 ≤ σ ≤ 630 cm?1 the fit is within 2.5°K. Consideration of an ammonia ice haze, photodissociation of NH3 by uv radiation, NH3 abundance variation, different He/H2 ratios, and uncertainties in the data effect the temperatures at 1 bar and the temperature at the inversion layer by <7°K. The presently derived temperature at 1 bar of 160°K is consistent with Jovian interior models which can match the gravitational moment, J2. 相似文献

The problem of the ionospheric formation in the Jovian upper atmosphere is examined. By adopting two plausible atmospheric models, we solve coupled time-dependent continuity equations for ions H2+, H5+, H+, H3+ and HeH+ simultaneously. It is shown that both radiative and three body association of H+ to H2 are important for the determination of the structure of the Jovian ionosphere. The maximum electron density in the daytime is found to be about 105 cm?3. It is also shown that diurnal variation with large-amplitude can exist in the Jovian ionosphere. 相似文献

Modeling of the Jovian atmosphere shows that cosmic ray induced albedo neutron decay is inadequate to account for Pioneer 10 and 11 projected electron levels on Jupiter. High energy solar protons must also be excluded as an important neutron decay source. Analysis of neutron flux data near the top of the Jovian atmosphere can lead to the determination of He/H2 and3He/4He ratios for the Jovian atmosphere. 相似文献

High-altitude spectra of Jupiter obtained from the Kuiper Airborne Observatory are analyzed for the presence of germane (GeH4) in Jupiter's atmosphere. Comparison with laboratory spectra shows that the strong Q branch of the ν3 band of germane at 2111 cm?1 is prominent in the Jovian spectra. The abundance of germane in Jupiter's atmosphere is 0.006 (±0.003) cm-am corresponding to a mixing ratio of 0.6 ppb. This trace amount of germane is consistent with chemical equilibrium calculations if the germane present at ～1000°K is carried up by convection to the spectroscopically observable region at ～300°K. 相似文献

We have calculated evolutionary and static models of Jupiter and Saturn with homogeneous solar composition mantles and dense cores of material consisting of solar abundances of SiO2, MgO, Fe, and Ni. Evolutionary sequences for Jupiter were calculated with cores of mass 2, 4, 6, and 8% of the Jovian mass. Evolutionary sequences for Saturn were calculated with cores of mass 16, 18, 20, and 22% of total mass. Two envelope mixtures, representative of the solar abundances were used: X (mass fraction of hydrogen) = 0.74, Y (mass fraction of helium) = 0.24 and X = 0.77 and Y = 0.21. For Jupiter, the observations of the temperature at 1 bar pressure (T1bar), radius and internal luminosity were best fit by evolutionary models with a core mass of ～6.5% and chemical composition of X = 0.77, Y = 0.21. The calculated cooling time for Jupiter is approximately 4.9 × 109 years, which is consistent, within our error bars, with the known age of the solar system. For Saturn, the observations of the radius, internal luminosity and T1BAR can be best fit by evolutionary models with a core mass of ～21% and chemical composition of X = 0.77, Y = 0.21. The cooling time calculated for Saturn is approximately 2.6 × 109 years, almost a factor 2 less than the present age of the solar system. Static models of Jupiter and Saturn were calculated for the above chemical compositions in order to investigate the sensitivity of the calculated gravitational moments, J2 and J4, to the mass of the dense core, T1BAR and hydrogen/helium ratio. We find for Jupiter that a model having a core mass of approximately 7% gives values of J2, J4, and T1BAR that are within observational limits, for the mixture X = 0.77, Y = 0.21. The static Jupiter models are completely consistent with the evolutionary results. For Saturn, the quantities J2, J4, and J6 determined from the static models with the most probable T1BAR of 140°K, using modeling procedures which result in consistent models for Jupiter, are considerably below the observed values. 相似文献

The 12C/13C ratio in Jupiter has been derived from the analysis of the ν4 band of CH4 in the spectra recorded by the Voyager 1 IRIS experiment. It is found to be 160?55+40, i.e., 1.8?0.6+0.4 times the terrestrial value. Instrumental noise as well as systematic sources of error were taken into account for the estimate of the uncertainty. No plausible theory predicts such a difference between the values of the 12C/13C ratio in the inner solar system and in Jupiter. However, values of this ratio in the solar neighborhood 4.5 by ago inferred—through the use of models of chemical evolution of the Galaxy —from recent interstellar medium measurements are compatible with the present determination in Jupiter. The Jovian value, rather than the terrestrial one, could then be representative of the ratio in the primitive solar nebula. 相似文献

Using a method defined in a previous paper [M. Combes and T. Encrenaz, Icarus39 1–27 (1979)], we reestimated the C/H ratio in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn by the measurements of the weak visible CH4 bands, the CH4 3ν3 band, and the (3-0) and (4-0) quadrupole bands of H2. In the case of Jupiter we conclude that the C/H ratio is enriched by a factor ranging from 1.7 to 3.6 relative to the solar value. In the case of Saturn, our derived C/H value ranges from 1.2 to 3.2 times the solar value. The Jovian D/H ratio derived from this study is 1.2 × 10?5 < D/H < 3.1 × 10?5. The value derived for the D/H ratio on Saturn is not precise enough to be conclusive. 相似文献

Using the data obtained from the Pioneer 10 and 11 observations, a theoretical model is proposed for the bow shock and the magentosphere of Jupiter. This indicates that the distance of the magnetopause from Jupiter on the sunlit side is (50–55) × rJ (rJ: Jupiter radius, = 7 × 109 cm) and that the ratio of the stand-off distance to this distance is about equal to or slightly larger than unity. Hence the Mach number of the solar wind seems to be less than 1.5 at Jupiter's orbit. This result necessarily leads to a blunt body model of the Jovian magnetosphere, the tail region of which is not as extended as observed in the Earth's case. 相似文献

We present some results of a theoretical and laboratory program to determine the thermal infrared spectral properties of the principal gaseous constituents of the atmosphere of Jupiter. G. Birnbaum has measured laboratory spectra in the 16 to 1000 um wavelength range for hydrogen and hydrogen-helium mixtures at Jovian temperatures. These are compared to theoretically computed spectra in order to determine the temperature dependence of the line strengths in the pressure-induced rotational band and the overlap parameters from the translational band. Existing spectral data for methane do not agree well with measurements of the ν4 band at room temperature. A revised allocation of line intensities is proposed. Existing data for the ν2 (10 um) band of ammonia do agree reasonably well with measurements at room temperature and at ?77δC, but there are some important discrepancies which remain to be explained. 相似文献

Results are given for polarization measurements of both the entire Jupiter disk and its centre for seven wavelength regions in the 0.373–0.800 μm range. Interpretation of these observations is based on two model atmospheres: (A) The cloud layer particles and molecules are mixed with a constant ratio. (B) A gas layer with small optical thickness, τ0, is situated above the cloud layer which consists of aerosol particles. The aerosol particles are considered to be non-absorbing spheres, their size distribution being normal Gaussian. The index of refraction for the particles is considered to be independent of wavelength in the above spectral range. An approximate method is used for the determination of parameters of the Jovian atmosphere. This method was tested by evaluation of the parameters for the Venus cloud layer: The refractive index was found to be n = 1.435 ± 0.015, the square of the logarithmic dispersion of the radius of particles σ2 = 0.12 and the mean geometrical radius of particles r0 = 0.74 μm which agree well with exact values given by Hansen and Arking (1971). For the atmosphere of Jupiter it was found: n = 1.36 ± 0.01, σ2 ? 0.3, r0 ? 0.2 μm. This refractive index for the particles agrees well with the ammonia cloud layer hypothesis. 相似文献

By directly comparing the photometric distances of Blaha and Humphreys (1989) (BH) to OB associations and field stars with the corresponding Hipparcos trigonometric parallaxes, we show that the BH distance scale is overestimated, on average, by 10–20%. This result is independently corroborated by applying the rigorous statistical-parallax method and its simplified analog (finding a kinematically adjusted rotation-curve solution from radial velocities and proper motions) to a sample of OB associations. These two methods lead us to conclude that the BH distance scale for OB associations should be shrunk, on average, by 11±6 and 24±10%, respectively. Kinematical parameters have been determined for the system of OB associations: u 0 = 8.2 ± 1.3 km s?1, v 0 = 11.9 ± 1.1 km s?1, w 0 = 9.5 ± 0.9 km s?1, σ u = 8.2 ± 1.1 km s?1, σ v = 5.8 ± 0.8 km s?1, σ w = 5.0 ± 0.8 km s?1, Ω0 = 29.1 ± 1.0 km s?1 kpc?1, Ω0′ = ?4.57 ± 0.20 km s?1 kpc?2, and Ω0″ = 1.32 ± 0.14 km s?1 kpc?3. The distance scale for OB associations reduced by 20% matches the short Cepheid distance scale (Berdnikov and Efremov 1985; Sitnik and Mel’nik 1996). Our results are a further argument for the short distance scale in the Universe. 相似文献

We report on spectro-imaging infrared observations of Jupiter's auroral zones, acquired in October 1999 and October 2000 with the FTS/BEAR instrument at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The use of narrow-band filters at 2.09 and 2.12 μm, combined with high spectral resolution (0.2 cm−1), allowed us to map emission from the H2S1(1) quadrupole line and from several H3+ lines. The H2 and H3+ emission appears to be morphologically different, especially in the north, where the latter notably exhibits a “hot spot” near 150°-170° System III longitude. This hot spot coincides in position with the region of increased and variable hydrocarbon, FUV and X-ray emission, but is not seen in the more uniform H2S1(1) emission. We also present the first images of the H2 emission in the southern polar region. The spectra include a total of 14 H3+ lines, including two hot lines from the 3ν2-ν2 band, detected on Jupiter for the first time. They can be used to determine H3+ column densities, rotational (Trot) and vibrational (Tvib) temperatures. We find the mean Tvib of the v2=3 state to be lower (960±50 K) than the mean Trot in v2=2 (1170±75 K), indicating an underpopulation of the v2=3 level with respect to local thermodynamical equilibrium. Rotational temperatures and associated column densities are generally higher and lower, respectively, than inferred previously from ν2 observations. This is a likely consequence of a large positive temperature gradient in the sub-microbar auroral atmosphere. While the signal-to-noise is not sufficient to take full advantage of the 2-D capabilities of the observations, the search for correlations between line intensities, Tvib and column densities, indicates that variations in line intensities are mostly due to correlated variations in the H3+ column densities. The thermostatic role played by H3+ at ionospheric levels may provide an explanation. The exception is the northern “hot spot,” which exhibits a Tvib about 250 K higher than other regions. A partial explanation might invoke a homopause elevation in this region, but a fully consistent scenario is not yet available. The different distributions of the H2 and H3+ emission are equally difficult to explain. 相似文献

Results of photoelectric measurements of the intensity in CH4 5430, 6190, and 7250 Å absorption bands, CH4 absorption lines in the 3ν3 band, and the NH3 6457.1 Å line are examined from the point of view of a model which takes into account the role of multiple scattering inside a homogeneous semi-infinite cloud layer in the formation of absorption components in the Jovian spectrum. Introduced are a number of simple ratios between depths of lines and bands and the parameters which characterize the properties of the cloud layer and the atmosphere above the clouds for occurrence of the Henyey-Greenstein scattering phase function at various degrees of asymmetry in g. The CH4 content inside the cloud layer is determined as an equivalent thickness on the mean free path between scattering events. The latter was found to be equal to AL ? 10 ± 2 m-amagat at g = 0.75 or AL ? 20 ± 3 m-amagat at g = 0.5 along all the above-mentioned CH4 absorption bands. For NH3 it is AL ? 31 ± 4 cm-amagat at g = 0.75 and AL ? 62 ± 8 cm-amagat at g = 0.5.The weakening of the CH4 absorption bands toward the edges of the Jovian disc requires a volume scattering coefficient in the cloud layer of σa ～ 10?6 cm?1. The mean specific abundance of NH3 obtained within the cloud layer does not contradict the calculated abundance of saturated gaseous ammonia. 相似文献

Spectra of Jupiter recorded in the 1900- to 2300-cm?1 range at the IRTF in Hawaii, July 1982, provide tentative evidence for variability of the Jovian atmosphere between zones and belts. It is concluded from analysis of the ν1and ν3 bands of PH3 that there is a possible enhancement of the PH3/H2 ratio in the belts when compared to the zones. There is an apparent reduction of the PH3 abundance between the IRIS Voyager 1 determinations and these spectra, implying temporal or spatial variability of PH3 on Jupiter. Interpretation of this variability in the troposphere could involve both dynamical and thermochemical processes. 相似文献

This paper reports results obtained on ionosphere formation in the Jovian upper atmosphere with special reference to some of the recently available reaction rates, and to recent models of the Jovian neutral atmosphere based on the possibility of a warmer mesopause. We find that the role of the hypothetical radiative association of H+ to H2 to form H3+, as brought to light in our earlier study, is still important, even with a reaction rate as low as 10?15 cm3sec?1. In the lower regions of the ionosphere three-body processes leading to the formation of H3+ and H5+ ions, which have very fast dissociative recombination rates, produce a dramatic reduction in the electron density. When no radiative association takes place, and the H+ ions are lost by radiative recombination alone, we confirm that the photochemical equilibrium profile is also the diffusive equilibrium profile. However, with collisional-radiative recombination, whose rate becomes altitude-dependent, diffusion tends to bring about some redistribution of the ionization. Inclusion of radiative association enhances the role of diffusion. In this case, diffusion brings about all the expected changes. In particular, the differences in the electron density profile, originated in the lower-middle ionosphere by radiative association, are propagated up to all higher altitudes by diffusion. The rate constant of radiative association is, however, unknown. It is hoped that the critical importance of this reaction for the Jovian ionosphere will be an incentive towards a careful laboratory determination of its rate coefficient. In the older models of the Jovian ionosphere the major ions were H+ which were lost only by pure radiative recombination. This led to high electron densities and practically no diurnal change. In contrast, our new models have relatively much smaller electron densities, especially in lower regions, and may be susceptible to significant diurnal variation. 相似文献

The influence of hydrogen sulfide, a still-undetected key molecule for the Jovian atmospheric chemistry in the infrared spectrum, was investigated. Synthetic spectra including various vertical distribution profiles of H2S have been computed and compared with observational data for Jupiter in the 2- to 15-cm?1 and 1160- to 1200-cm?1 spectral ranges. No firm conclusion about the presence of H2S can be drawn from the latter spectral region because of large uncertainties in gaseous opacities. In the microwave range, H2S is found to be a possible candidate to explain the measurements. Constraints to its vertical distribution which would imply a significant supersaturation in the troposphere are derived. Physical and chemical processes involving H2S in the atmosphere are discussed in the light of this hypothesis. 相似文献

A new spectrum of Jupiter from 700 to 1600 cm?1 was obtained with an interferometric experiment using the 91.5 cm telescope of the NASA Airborne Infrared Observatory. The spectral resolution is 10 cm?1 and the signal-to-noise ratio is 30 at 900 cm?1. NH3 absorption lines are observed between 820 and 1020 cm?1. The 1306 cm?1ν4CH4 band strongly appears in emission at a temperature of at least 145° K. The Jovian brightness temperature between 1400 and 1600 cm?1, according to our measurement, is lower than 170° K. 相似文献

New thermal profiles of Jupiter are retrieved from recent far infrared spectral measurements and for H2 mixing ratios varying from 0.8 to 0.94. The effective temperature corresponding to the inferred thermal profile is 123.15 ± 0.35°K. Far-infrared brightness temperature spectra computed from these profiles are compared to experimental data including measurements made at high spectral resolution in the NH3ν2 band at 10 μm and in NH3 pure rotational bands between 40 and 110 μm. It is found that a strong depletion of NH3 does occur in the Jovian stratosphere and that ammonia seems to be undersaturated in the upper troposphere. 相似文献

After the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) with Jupiter, some ring structures were observed propagating outwards at a constant speed (∼450 m/s) on the Jovian surface. These are thought to be linear waves caused by the collision. A linear model of the collision is presented, in which the Jovian atmosphere is considered as an irrotational, inviscid, stratified and incompressible fluid layer moving at a speed of U = b + az. We take an initial impulsive pressure p(r; 0) as the initial condition and solve the fluid dynamics equations for inertia-gravity waves. It is found that most part of the perturbation energy is used to produce internal waves when Jovian atmosphere moves at a constant speed (U = Uo (∼170 m/s)). A relation between the impact depth H and the horizontal phase speed vp is deduced. Finally, the inertia-gravity waves are discussed for the case U = b + az and it is found that the perturbation energy is then not divided equally between kinetic energy and potential energy because of the effect of a shear. 相似文献
