Dwarf Galaxies in the M 81/82 Group. New Photometric Data     

F. Brngen  V. E. Karachentseva  R. Schmidt  G. M. Richter  W. Thnert 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1982,303(5):287-292

We present a list of 39 dwarf galaxies of the M 81/82 group. Three different methods are applied to determine their apparent integral magnitude: digital processing, equidensitometry, and calculation according to the formulae of FISHER and TULLY . The plates used were obtained with the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope. For a distance of the group of 3.5 Mpc the absolute magnitudes of the dwarf galaxies investigated are -15^m < M < -9^m.  相似文献   

Application of an adaptive filtering technique to surface photometry of galaxies. I. The method tested on NGC 3379     

M. Capaccioli  E. V. Held  H. Lorenz  G. M. Richter  R. Ziener 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1988,309(2):69-80

This study reports on the results of the application of an adaptive filtering technique to the two-dimensional photometric mapping of galaxies. For this test we used the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379, which is a luminosity standard. Our plate material (B-band), obtained with the Tautenburg Schmidt telescope, was digitized with the Babelsberg microdensitometer and with the ESO PDS. The 2-D scans were reduced according to the Babelsberg Image Processing Systems, whose key feature is an adaptive filter called ‘H-Transform’. By comparing our results (E-W light profile and isophotal parameters) to the most recent studies of NGC 3379 (DE VAUCOULEURS and CAPACCIOLI 1979, and NIETO and VIDAL 1984), we found no systematic errors in the photometric calibration and in the reduction procedure, with typical mean residuals from the other studies not larger than ±0.05 B-mag up to a threshold of 1% of the night sky level on each plate. We also re-confirmed the geometrical properties of the galaxy. The new filtering technique proved quite efficient in reducing the noise, with negligible effects on the photometric and geometric characteristics of the star-like sources.  相似文献   

Positions of extragalactic objects in the vicinity of M3 and M31 (5C3 radio field) and in the 5C1 radio field     

W. R. Dick  H. Lorenz  P. Notni  E. Schilbach  R.-D. Scholz  G. A. Richter 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1986,307(2):85-88

We have determined the positions of 65 compact extragalactic objects with magnitudes between 16^m and 21^m.7. The mean error of one position is about 0″.3 in α cos δ and in δ. Some hitherto unpublished redshifts are also listed.  相似文献   

Cataclysmic variables and the amplitude-cycle length relationship     

G. A. Richter 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1986,307(4):221-230

After a survey of the latest state of knowledge on cataclysmic variables in general (Chapter 1) and recurrent novae in particular (Chapter 2), the amplitude-cycle length relationship (A-C relation) is rederived (Chapter 3) after statistical correction for published incorrect values of C. While the A-C relationship of dwarf novae is of the form A = -0.40 + 2.50 log C, it is, presumably for physical reasons less sharply defined for the few known recurrent novae.  相似文献   

Epikarst hydrology and implications for stalagmite capture of climate changes at Grotta di Ernesto (NE Italy): results from long‐term monitoring     

Renza Miorandi  Andrea Borsato  Silvia Frisia  Ian J. Fairchild  Detlev K. Richter 《水文研究》2010,24(21):3101-3114

Grotta di Ernesto is a cave site well suited for palaeoclimate studies because it contains annually laminated stalagmites and was monitored from 1995 to the end of 2008 for microclimate, hydrology and hydrochemistry. Long‐term monitoring highlighted that cave drips show three different hydrological responses to rainfall and infiltration: (1) fast seasonal drips in the upper part of the cave, which are mostly fed by fractures, (2) slow seasonal drips, located at mid‐depth in the cave characterized by mixed feeding and (3) slow drips, mostly located in the deeper gallery, which are fed by seepage flow from bulk porosity with a minor fracture‐fed component. The slow drips display daily cycles during spring thaw. Monitoring also indicated that drip waters are only slightly modified by degassing within the soil zone and aquifer and by prior calcite precipitation. Hydrochemical studies show a clear seasonality in calcite saturation index, which results in most cave calcite precipitation occurring during late autumn and winter with similar amounts of precipitated calcite on most stalagmites, regardless of drip rate (discharge) differences. Drip rate, and drip rate variability, therefore, has a minor role in modulating the amount of annual calcite formation. In contrast, drip rate, when associated with moderate reduction in calcite saturation index, clearly influences stalagmite morphology. Increasing drip rate yields a passage from candle‐, to cone‐ to dome‐shaped stalagmites. Very high drip rates feed speleothems with flowstone morphology. In summary, monitoring provides information about the karst aquifer and how hydrology influences those physical and chemical characteristics of speleothems which are commonly used as climate proxies.

Wind shear at tilted inversions     

Burghard Brümmer 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1991,57(3):295-308

Vertical wind shear at a temperature inversion can be caused by baroclinicity associated with a tilt of the inversion. Four observational cases of tilted inversions are presented. The tilts on horizontal scales of 20–100 km range from 2–10 × 10^-3 and the vertical wind shear is between 1 and 25 m/s per 100 m. In general, there is remarkable agreement between observed and geostrophic wind shear.The observations show that the inversion tilt is particularly strong at the edges of mesoscale cloud fields. The Richardson number can reach subcritical values. Cloud fields may be surrounded by a cyclonically rotating wind field and cloud gaps by an anticyclonically rotating wind field.  相似文献   

Land use and land transformation     

H. G. Richter Dr. 《GeoJournal》1984,8(1):67-74

Types and pattern of land use in the GDR are controlled both by the historical development and the strong influences of technological, social and political alterations during the last four decades. Owing to these factors and the favourable natural conditions the share of non-arable area is small. The two basic features of land transformation are land use alteration and intensification. Compared to other European countries the first process lies on the average. It is still remarkable because most alterations of land use drastically reduce the agricultural area. Intensification consequently is the main type of land transformation in all sections of regional development. In most cases the benefit of strong intensification serves to particular users. Therefore various by-effects arise like pollution, contamination, blocking and devastating of renewable natural resources. Under the auspices of long term rationalization land transformation must be accompanied by the development of a dense network of protective measures and reservation areas, and in addition by different types for multiple utilization of renewable natural resources. At present complicated systems of land use are in evolution.  相似文献

The product spectra of gravity and barometric pressure in Europe   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11

A total of 111 000 hourly values of gravity and barometric pressure from stations in Europe is analysed. The data consist of two sets of records from Brussels, an early set of 36 000 h length and a more recent set of 21 000 h length, a set of records from Bad Homburg of 24 000 h length, and a set of records from Strasbourg of 30 000 h length. All of the gravity measurements were made with similar superconducting instruments and the pressure data were recorded simultaneously at each superconducting gravimeter site. The four sets of records have different time bases, and to bring out common features and suppress individual station systematic errors, the product spectrum is introduced. Spectral density estimates are first computed for a common spectral window for each record, and the product spectrum is formed by multiplying individual spectral estimates across records. The cumulative distribution function is found for the product spectrum and confidence intervals are calculated from it by iteration. The product spectrum in gravity reveals a triplet of resonances in the subtidal band which are shown by an automated computer search to be uniquely associated with the translational modes of the solid inner core. The product spectrum in barometric pressure clearly reveals the first 10 solar heating tides in the atmosphere, but otherwise does not show common features with the gravity product spectrum. In particular, the triplet of resonances in the subtidal band of the gravity product spectrum do not show up in the product spectrum of barometric pressure, climinating the atmosphere as their source.  相似文献
