A high resolution spectrum of a sunspot umbra is used for identification of rotational lines due to (0, 0) band of the A 2Π–X 2Σ+ system and (0, 0), (1, 1), and (2, 2) bands of the B 2Σ+–X 2Σ+ system of the molecule SrF. The published sunspot umbral spectrum obtained with Fourier Transform Spectrometer and solar telescope of National Solar Observatory/National Optical Astronomy Observatory at Kitt Peak was used for the study. The new identification of more than 200 SrF lines in the umbral spectrum confirms that this molecule accounts for the majority of lines in the spectral range 15050 to 15360 cm−1 and 17240 to 17300 cm−1. Equivalent widths have been measured for well-resolved lines of these bands and the effective rotational temperatures have been estimated for which the presence is confirmed.  相似文献

The ZrO molecule has been detected in sunspot umbrae through the identification of following laboratory molecular transitions: 1Σ+ ? X1Σ+ (0, 0), A3Φ2 ? X2Δ1 (0, 0), A3Φ3 ? X2Δ2 (0, 0), A3Φ4 ? X2Δ3 (0, 0), B3Π2 ? X3Δ3 (0, 0), B3Π1 ? X3Δ2 (0, 0) and B3Π0 ? X3Δ1 (0, 0) in red – infrared region using high resolution, visible range Fourier Transform Spectrum of sunspot umbra observed at the National Solar Observatory in Kitt Peak (NSO/KP). Much new identification has been made in the searched spectral wavenumber region from 16650 cm?1 to 18007 cm?1 of sunspot spectrum. Equivalent widths of well resolved lines, versus rotational quantum number J have been used to determine the effective rotational temperature for seven bands of the ZrO molecule. This result agrees well with the temperatures derived for other molecules’ presence in sunspot umbrae. It is evident that ZrO molecular lines are formed in higher layers of the atmosphere of relatively “cold” sunspots.  相似文献

Aluminium monoxide (AlO) is widely known for its astrophysical significance. An analysis of the prominent lines of the (2,3;3,2;3,4;4,5;4,3;5,6;6,7) bands of the B 2Σ+?X 2Σ+ transition with those of sunspot umbral spectral lines suggests that the AlO molecule appears to be a non-negligible component of sunspot umbrae. Results of a recent (2008) rotational analysis were used to carry out the study. The effective rotational temperature determined for the above lines in the sunspot umbral spectrum is found to be of the order of 2900 K. The radiative-transition parameters that include Franck–Condon (FC) factors, r-centroids, electronic-transition moment, Einstein coefficient, absorption–band oscillator strength, and radiative lifetime have been estimated for the experimentally known vibrational levels using the Rydberg–Klein–Rees (RKR) potential.  相似文献

We have investigated the characteristics of the distribution of neutron exposures (“DNE” hereafter) in the He-shell nucleosynthesis regions in the model of s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass AGB (Asymptotic Giant Branch) stars in 13C radiatively burning conditions. The result indicates that although the DNE obtained with this model is still approximately exponential, like those of the previous convective s-process scenarios, the relation between the neutron exposure Δτ of each pulse and the mean neutron exposure τ0 is no longer τ0 = −Δτ/ln r, rather, it is now approximately τ0 = −Δτ/ ln{q[1.0020 + 0.6602(r − q) + 4.6125(r − q)2− 10.8962(r − q)3+ 13.9138(r − q)4]} (r is the overlap factor, q is the mass ratio of the 13C shell to the He shell). This formula unifies the stellar model of radiative s-process with the classical model from the angle of DNE.  相似文献

We report the Balmer broad absorption lines (BALs) in the quasar SDSS J2220 + 0109 discovered from the SDSS data, and present a detailed analysis of the peculiar absorption line spectrum, including the He I* multiplet at λλ3189, 3889 arising from the metastable 23s-state helium and the Balmer Hα and Hβ lines from the excited hydrogen H I of n = 2 level, which are rarely seen in quasar spectra, as well as many absorption lines arising from the excited Fe II* of the levels 7 955 cm−1, 13 474 cm−1 and 13 673 cm−1 in the wavelength range 3100∼3300 Å. Ca II H, K absorption line doublets also clearly appear in the SDSS spectrum. All absorption lines show a similar blueshifted velocity structure of Δv ≈ − 1500 ∼ 0 km·s−1 relative to the quasar's systematic redshift determined from the emission lines. Detailed analysis suggests that the Balmer absorption lines should arise from the partially ionized region with a column density of NHI ≈ 1021 cm−2 for an electron density of ne ∼ 106 cm−3; and that the hydrogen n = 2 level may be populated via collisional excitation with Lyα pumping.  相似文献

For molecular identification in astrophysical sources, an astrophysicist needs some spectroscopic parameters such as dissociation energy, vibrational or rotational temperature of the source, band or line wavelengths, transition probability parameters, etc. The Franck-Condon(FC) factors are proportional to the transition probabilities. In this study, the FC factors and r-centroids for the vibronic (vibration-electronic) transitions C 1 Σ + → X 1 Σ + of aluminium hydride (AlH), b 3 Σ ( −) → a 3 Π, C 1 Σ + → A 1 Π & C ′1 Δ → Δ 1 Π of boron hydride (BH) have been evaluated and the results are presented in tables which include band origin/head wavelengths. The physical & astrophysical significances of our evaluated FC factors & r-centroids have been discussed and the possible presence of AlH in sunspot umbral spectra is also predicted.

High-resolution Fourier Transform Spectrometer sunspot umbral spectra of the National Solar Observatory/National Optical Astronomy Observatory at Kitt Peak were used to detect rotational lines from 19 electronic transition bands of the molecules LaO, ScO and VO, in the wavenumber range of 11 775 to 20 600 cm−1. The presence of lines from the following transitions is confirmed: A 2 Π r1/2 – X 2 Σ +(0, 0; 0, 1), A 2 Π r3/2 – X 2 Σ +(1, 0), B 2 Σ + – X 2 Σ +(0, 0; 0, 1; 1, 0) and C 2 Π r1/2 – A′2Δ r3/2(0, 0; 1, 1) of LaO; A 2 Π r3/2 – X 2 Σ +(0, 0), A 2 Π r1/2 – X 2 Σ +(0, 0) and B 2 Σ + – X 2 Σ +(0, 0) of ScO; and C 4 Σ − – X 4 Σ −(0, 1; 1, 0; 0, 2) and (2, 0) of VO. However, the presence of A 2 Π r3/2 – X 2 Σ +(0, 0) and C 2 Π r3/2 – A′2Δ r5/2(0, 0; 1, 1) of LaO and C 4 Σ − – X 4 Σ −(0, 0) of VO are found to be doubtful because the lines are very weak, and detections are difficult owing to heavy blending by strong rotational lines of other molecules. Equivalent widths are measured for well-resolved lines and, thereby, the effective rotational temperatures are estimated for the systems for which the presence is confirmed.  相似文献

The vertical profile of H2SO4 vapor is calculated using current atmospheric and thermodynamic data. The atmospheric data include the H2O profiles observed at 70-112 km by the SOIR solar occultations, the SPICAV-UV profiles of the haze extinction at 220 nm, the VeRa temperature profiles, and a typical profile of eddy diffusion. The thermodynamic data are the saturated vapor pressures of H2O and H2SO4 and chemical potentials of these species in sulfuric acid solutions. The calculated concentration of sulfuric acid in the cloud droplets varies from 85% at 70 km to a minimum of 70% at 90 km and then gradually increasing to 90-100% at 110 km. The H2SO4 vapor mixing ratio is ∼10−12 at 70 and 110 km with a deep minimum of 3 × 10−18 at 88 km. The H2O-H2SO4 system matches the local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions up to 87 km. The column photolysis rate of H2SO4 is 1.6 × 105 cm−2 s−1 at 70 km and 23 cm−2 s−1 at 90 km. The calculated abundance of H2SO4 vapor at 90-110 km and its photolysis rate are smaller than those presented in the recent model by Zhang et al. (Zhang, X., Liang, M.C., Montmessin, F., Bertaux, J.L., Parkinson, C., Yung, Y.L. [2010]. Nat. Geosci. 3, 834-837) by factors of 106 and 109, respectively. Assumptions of 100% sulfuric acid, local thermodynamic equilibrium, too warm atmosphere, supersaturation of H2SO4 (impossible for a source of SOX), and cross sections for H2SO4·H2O (impossible above the pure H2SO4) are the main reasons of this huge difference. Significant differences and contradictions between the SPICAV-UV, SOIR, and ground-based submillimeter observations of SOX at 70-110 km are briefly discussed and some weaknesses are outlined. The possible source of high altitude SOX on Venus remains unclear and probably does not exist.  相似文献

New photometry for the eclipsing binary BE Cephei was performed from 2008 to 2011. The light-curve synthesis indicates that it is a marginal-contact binary with a mass ratio of q = 2.340(±0.009) and a degree of contact of f = 6.9%(±2.3%). From the O − C curve, it is discovered that the orbital period changes show a sinusoidal curve superimposed on a downward parabola. The period and semi-amplitude of the cyclic variation are Pmod = 59.26(±0.52) yr and A = 0.d0067(±0.d0010), which may be possibly attributed to light-time effect via the presence of an unseen third body. The long-term period decreases at a rate of dP/dt = −4.84(±0.31) × 10−8 d yr−1, which may result from mass transfer from the more massive component to the less massive one, accompanied by angular momentum loss. With the period decreasing, the degree of contact will increase. Finally, the marginal-contact binary BE Cep may be evolving into a deep-contact configuration.  相似文献

The expected equivalent widths of individual rotational lines of the most intense Q 2 branch of the 0-0 band of the A 2-X2i; system of S32H and S34H have been calculated in the umbral spectrum for five disk positions using Zwaan's (1974) sunspot model. Percentage abundance of S34 in the terrestrial case has been considered valid in our calculations.Strong lines of S32H and S34H of the A-X band system should be detectable in the sunspot spectrum. The molecule SH may play a possible role as a major opacity source in the ultraviolet spectrum of sunspots along with the molecule OH in the upper layers (up to 0.5m = 1.0) wherefrom most of the continuum arises. Study of this molecule in the umbral spectrum may also provide the solar isotopic abundance ratio N(S32)/N(S34).  相似文献

Imaging spectrometers are highly effective instruments for investigation of planetary atmospheres. They present the advantage of coupling the compositional information to the spatial distribution, allowing simultaneous study of chemistry and dynamics in the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. In this work, we summarize recent results about the O2(a1Δg) night and day glows, respectively obtained by VIRTIS/Venus Express and OMEGA/Mars Express, the imaging spectrometers currently in orbit around Venus and Mars. The case of the O2(a1Δg - X3Σg−) IR emission at 1.27 μm on the night side of Venus and the day side of Mars is analyzed, pointing out dynamical aspects of these planets, like the detection of gravity waves in their atmospheres. The monitoring of seasonal and daily airglow variations provides hints about the photochemistry on these planets.  相似文献

We study the kinematics of the Galactic thin and thick disk populations using stars from the RAVE survey’s second data release together with distance estimates from Breddels et al. (2010). The velocity distribution exhibits the expected moving groups present in the solar neighborhood. We separate thick and thin disk stars by applying the X (stellar-population) criterion of Schuster et al. (1993), which takes into account both kinematic and metallicity information. For 1906 thin disk and 110 thick disk stars classified in this way, we find a vertical velocity dispersion, mean rotational velocity and mean orbital eccentricity of (σW, 〈VΦ〉, 〈e〉)thin = (18 ± 0.3 km s−1, 223 ± 0.4 km s−1, 0.07 ± 0.07) and (σW, 〈VΦ〉, 〈e〉)thick = (35 ± 2 km s−1, 163 ± 3 km s−1, 0.31 ± 0.16), respectively. From the radial Jeans equation, we derive a thick disk scale length in the range 1.5-2.2 kpc, whose greatest uncertainty lies in the adopted form of the underlying potential. The shape of the orbital eccentricity distribution indicates that the thick disk stars in our sample most likely formed in situ with minor gas-rich mergers and/or radial migration being the most likely cause for their orbits. We further obtain mean metal abundances of 〈[M/H]〉thin = +0.03 ± 0.17, and 〈[M/H]〉thick = −0.51 ± 0.23, in good agreement with previous estimates. We estimate a radial metallicity gradient in the thin disk of −0.07 dex kpc−1, which is larger than predicted by chemical evolution models where the disk grows inside-out from infalling gas. It is, however, consistent with models where significant migration of stars shapes the chemical signature of the disk, implying that radial migration might play at least part of a role in the thick disk’s formation.  相似文献

Laboratory simulations using the Arizona State University Vortex Generator (ASUVG) were run to simulate sediment flux in dust devils in terrestrial ambient and Mars-analog conditions. The objective of this study was to measure vortex sediment flux in the laboratory to yield estimations of natural dust devils on Earth and Mars, where all parameters may not be measured. These tests used particles ranging from 2 to 2000 μm in diameter and 1300 to 4800 kg m−3 in density, and the results were compared with data from natural dust devils on Earth and Mars. Typically, the cores of dust devils (regardless of planetary environment) have a pressure decrease of ∼0.1-1.5% of ambient atmospheric pressure, which enhances the lifting of particles from the surface. Core pressure decreases in our experiments ranged from ∼0.01% to 5.00% of ambient pressure (10 mbar Mars cases and 1000 mbar for Earth cases) corresponding to a few tenths of a millibar for Mars cases and a few millibars for Earth cases. Sediment flux experiments were run at vortex tangential wind velocities of 1-45 m s−1, which typically correspond to ∼30-70% above vortex threshold values for the test particle sizes and densities. Sediment flux was determined by time-averaged measurements of mass loss for a given vortex size. Sediment fluxes of ∼10−6-100 kg m−2 s−1 were obtained, similar to estimates and measurements for fluxes in dust devils on Earth and Mars. Sediment flux is closely related to the vortex intensity, which depends on the strength of the pressure decrease in the core (ΔP). This study found vortex size is less important for lifting materials because many different diameters can have the same ΔP. This finding is critical in scaling the laboratory results to natural dust devils that can be several orders of magnitude larger than the laboratory counterparts.  相似文献

Venus nightglow was observed at NASA IRTF using a high-resolution long-slit spectrograph CSHELL at LT = 21:30 and 4:00 on Venus. Variations of the O2 airglow at 1.27 μm and its rotational temperature are extracted from the observed spectra. The mean O2 nightglow is 0.57 MR at 21:30 at 35°S-35°N, and the temperature increases from 171 K near the equator to ∼200 K at ±35°. We have found a narrow window that covers the OH (1-0) P1(4.5) and (2-1) Q1(1.5) airglow lines. The detected line intensities are converted into the (1-0) and (2-1) band intensities of 7.2 ± 1.8 kR and <1.4 kR at 21:30 and 15.5 ± 2 kR and 4.7 ± 1 kR at 4:00. The f-component of the (1-0) P1(4.5) line has not been detected in either observation, possibly because of resonance quenching in CO2. The observed Earth’s OH (1-0) and (2-1) bands were 400 and 90 kR at 19:30 and 250 and 65 kR at 9:40, respectively. A photochemical model for the nighttime atmosphere at 80-130 km has been made. The model involves 61 reactions of 24 species, including odd hydrogen and chlorine chemistries, with fluxes of O, N, and H at 130 km as input parameters. To fit the OH vibrational distribution observed by VEX, quenching of OH (v > 3) in CO2 only to v ? 2 is assumed. According to the model, the nightside-mean O2 emission of 0.52 MR from the VEX and our observations requires an O flux of 2.9 × 1012 cm−2 s−1 which is 45% of the dayside production above 80 km. This makes questionable the nightside-mean O2 intensities of ∼1 MR from some observations. Bright nightglow patches are not ruled out; however, the mean nightglow is ∼0.5 MR as observed by VEX and supported by the model. The NO nightglow of 425 R needs an N flux of 1.2 × 109 cm−2 s−1, which is close to that from VTGCM at solar minimum. However, the dayside supply of N at solar maximum is half that required to explain the NO nightglow in the PV observations. The limited data on the OH nightglow variations from the VEX and our observations are in reasonable agreement with the model. The calculated intensities and peak altitudes of the O2, NO, and OH nightglow agree with the observations. Relationships for the nightglow intensities as functions of the O, N, and H fluxes are derived.  相似文献

We performed a complete wavelet analysis of Saturn’s C ring on 62 stellar occultation profiles. These profiles were obtained by Cassini’s Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph High Speed Photometer. We used a WWZ wavelet power transform to analyze them. With a co-adding process, we found evidence of 40 wavelike structures, 18 of which are reported here for the first time. Seventeen of these appear to be propagating waves (wavelength changing systematically with distance from Saturn). The longest new wavetrain in the C ring is a 52-km-long wave in a plateau at 86,397 km. We produced a complete map of resonances with external satellites and possible structures rotating with Saturn’s rotation period up to the eighth order, allowing us to associate a previously observed wave with the Atlas 2:1 inner Lindblad resonance (ILR) and newly detected waves with the Mimas 6:2 ILR and the Pandora 4:2 ILR. We derived surface mass densities and mass extinction coefficients, finding σ = 0.22(±0.03) g cm−2 for the Atlas 2:1 ILR, σ = 1.31(±0.20) g cm−2 for the Mimas 6:2 ILR, and σ = 1.42(±0.21) g cm−2 for the Pandora 4:2 ILR. We determined a range of mass extinction coefficients (κ = τ/σ) for the waves associated with resonances with κ = 0.13 (±0.03) to 0.28(±0.06) cm2 g−1, where τ is the optical depth. These values are higher than the reported values for the A ring (0.01-0.02 cm2 g−1) and the Cassini Division (0.07-0.12 cm2 g−1 from Colwell et al. (Colwell, J.E., Cooney, J.H., Esposito, L.W., Srem?evi?, M. [2009]. Icarus 200, 574-580)). We also note that the mass extinction coefficient is probably not constant across the C ring (in contrast to the A ring and the Cassini Division): it is systematically higher in the plateaus than elsewhere, suggesting smaller particles in the plateaus. We present the results of our analysis of these waves in the C ring and estimate the mass of the C ring to be between3.7(±0.9) × 1016 kg and 7.9(±2.0) × 1016 kg (equivalent to an icy satellite of radius between 28.0(±2.3) km and 36.2(±3.0) km with a density of 400 kg m−3, close to that of Pan or Atlas). Using the ring viscosity derived from the wave damping length, we also estimate the vertical thickness of the C ring between 1.9(±0.4) m and 5.6(±1.4) m, comparable to the vertical thickness of the Cassini Division.  相似文献

The thermochemical properties of the six reactions: (1) N2+hν (solar EUV) → N+ + N(4S) + e−, (2) N+ + H2 → NH+ + H, (3) NH+ + H2 → NH+2 + H, (4) NH+2 + H2 → NH+3 + H, (5) NH+3 + H2 → NH+4 + H, and (6) NH+4 + e− → NH3 + H, were theoretically proposed by Atreya in 1986 and were cited in 2003 by Bernard who assumed that this chain reaction would lead to ammonia formation in Titan's atmosphere. The thermochemical properties of these six reactions have been calculated by means of the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) at the CCSD/cc-pvdz level, and the CCSD/6-311++g(3df,3pd) level, and G2 method. The geometries of the reactants and products of reactions have been optimized, the energies of reactions have been computed. The analysis of the results shows that: (I) The free energies of four reactions among these six reactions are negative. It means that these reactions, namely reactions (1)-(6) except reaction (2), can react spontaneously in Titan's low temperature environment. The converted temperatures of reactions (3) and (5) are 11881.7 and 4596.9 K, respectively. (II) Reaction (2) is an endothermic reaction, its converted temperature is 1797.6 K. When T<1797.6 K, reaction (2) cannot react forward spontaneously. The barrier of reaction (2) is 26.154 kcal mol−1, which is probably too high to allow it to occur in the atmosphere of Titan. The rate for this reaction at 300 K has been calculated, and the value is k=4.16×10−7 s−1. (III) The results of the three methods are more or less the same. So it is concluded that this chain reaction cannot be a pathway to lead to ammonia (gas phase) formation in Titan's atmosphere.  相似文献

A scheme of excitation, quenching, and energy transfer processes in the oxygen nightglow on the Earth, Venus, and Mars has been developed based on the observed nightglow intensities and vertical profiles, measured reaction rate coefficients, and photochemical models of the nighttime atmospheres of the Venus and Mars. The scheme involves improved radiative lifetimes of some band systems, calculated yields of the seven electronic states of O2 in termolecular association, and rate coefficients of seven processes of electronic quenching of the Herzberg states of O2, which are evaluated by fitting to the nightglow observations. Electronic quenching of the vibrationally excited Herzberg states by O2 and N2 in the Earth's nightglow is a quarter of total collisional removal of the O2(A, A′) states and a dominant branch for the O2(c) state. The scheme supports the conclusion by Steadman and Thrush (1994) that the green line is excited by energy transfer from the O2(A3Σu+, v≥6) molecules, and the inferred rate coefficient of this transfer is 1.5×10−11 cm3 s−1. The O2 bands at 762 nm and 1.27 μm are excited directly, by quenching of the Herzberg states, and by energy transfer from the O2(5Πg) state. Quenching of the O2 band at 762 nm excites the band at 1.27 μm as well. Effective yield of the O2(a1Δg) state in termolecular association on Venus and Mars is ∼0.7. Quantitative assessments of all these processes have been made. A possible reaction of O2(c1Σu−)+CO is a very minor branch of recombination of CO2 on Venus and Mars. Night airglow on Mars is calculated for typical conditions of the nighttime atmosphere. The calculated vertical intensity of the O2 band at 1.27 μm is 13 kR, far below the recently reported detections.  相似文献

Fifteen organic and three inorganic compounds were tested for methane (CH4) evolution under simulated martian conditions of 6.9 mbar; UVC (200-280 nm) flux of 4 W m−2; 20 °C; simulated optical depth of 0.1; and a Mars gas composition of CO2 (95.3%), N2 (2.7%), Ar (1.7%), O2 (0.13%), and water vapor (0.03%). All three inorganic compounds (i.e., NaCl, CaCO3, graphite) failed to evolve methane at the minimum detection level 0.5 ppm, or above. In contrast, all organic compounds evolved methane when exposed to UV irradiation under simulated martian conditions. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, pyrene, released the most methane per unit of time at 0.175 nmol CH4 g−1 h−1, and a spectral reflectance target material used for the MER rovers and Phoenix lander released the least methane at 0.00065 nmol CH4 cm−2 h−1. Methane was also released from UV-killed bacterial endospores of Bacillus subtilis. Although all organic compounds evolved methane when irradiated with UV photons under martian conditions, the concentrations of residual organics, biogenic signature molecules, and dead microbial cells should be relatively low on the exterior surfaces of the MSL rover, and, thus, not significant sources of methane contamination. In contrast, kapton tape was found to evolve methane at the rate of 0.00165 nmol CH4 cm−2 h−1 (16.5 nmol m−2 h−1) under the UV and martian conditions tested. Although the evolution of methane from kapton tape was found to decline over time, the large amount of kapton tape used on the MSL rover (lower bound estimated at 3 m2) is likely to create a significant source of terrestrial methane contamination during the early part of the mission.  相似文献

This paper reports 13CO, C18O, HCO+ (J = 1−0) spectral observations toward IRAS 23133+6050 with the 13.7 m millimeter-wave telescope at Qinghai Station of PMO. Corresponding to the 13CO, C18O, HCO+ line emissions, the size of the observed molecular cloud core is 4.0 pc, 2.1 pc and 2.3 pc, the virial mass is 2.7 × 103 M⊙, 0.9 × 103 M⊙ and 2.3 × 103 M⊙, and the volume density of H2 is 2.7 × 103 cm−3, 5.1 × 103 cm−3 and 4.6 × 103 cm−3, respectively. Using the power-law function n(r) ∼r−p, the spatial density distribution of the cloud core was analyzed, the obtained exponent p is respectively 1.75, 1.56 and 1.48 for the 13CO, C18O and HCO+ cores, and it is found that the density distribution becomes gradually flatter from the outer region to the inner region of the core. The HCO+ abundance is 4.6 × 10−10, one order of magnitude less than the value for dark clouds, and slightly less than that for giant molecular clouds. The 13CO/C18O relative abundance ratio is 12.2, comparable with the value 11.8 for dark clouds, and the value 9.0 ∼ 15.6 for giant molecular clouds. A 13CO bipolar outflow is found in this region. The IRAS far-infrared luminosity and the virial masses give the luminosity-mass ratios 18.1, 51.1 and 21.2 from the three lines.  相似文献

Laboratory spectra of methane-nitrogen mixtures have been recorded in the near-infrared range (1.0-1.65 μm) in conditions similar to Titan's near surface, to facilitate the interpretation of the DISR/DLIS (DISR—Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer) spectra taken during the last phase of the descent of the Huygens Probe, when the surface was illuminated by a surface-science lamp. We used a 0.03 cm−1 spectral resolution, adequate to resolve the lines at high pressure (pN2∼1.5 bar). By comparing the laboratory spectra with synthetic calculations in the well-studied ν2+2ν3 band (7515-7620 cm−1), we determine a methane absorption column density of 178±20 cm atm and a temperature of 118±10 K in our experiment. From this, we derive the methane absorption coefficients over 1.0-1.65 μm with a 0.03 cm−1 sampling, allowing for the extrapolation of the results to any other methane column density under the relevant pressure and temperature conditions. We then revisit the calibration and analysis of the Titan “lamp-on” DLIS spectra. We infer a 5.1±0.8% methane-mixing ratio in the first 25 m of Titan's atmosphere. The CH4 mixing ratio measured 90 s after landing from a distance of 45 cm is found to be 0.92±0.25 times this value, thus showing no post-landing outgassing of methane in excess of ∼20%. Finally, we determine the surface reflectivity as seen between 25 m and 45 cm and find that the 1500 nm absorption band is deeper in the post-landing spectrum as compared to pre-landing.  相似文献
