Near-Earth Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA may closely encounter Earth in 2880. The probability of Earth impact may be as high as 1/300, but the outcome of the encounter depends critically on the physical properties of the asteroid [Giorgini et al., 2002. Science 196, 132-136]. We have used Arecibo and Goldstone radar data and optical lightcurves to estimate the shape, spin state, and surface structure of 1950 DA. The data allow two distinct models. One rotates prograde and is roughly spheroidal with mean diameter 1.16±0.12 km. The other rotates retrograde and is oblate and about 30% larger. Both models suggest a nickel-iron or enstatite chondritic composition. Ground-based observations should be able to determine which model is correct within the next several decades.  相似文献

Near-Earth Asteroid 2005 CR37: Radar images and photometry of a candidate contact binary     

Lance A.M. Benner  Michael C. Nolan  Jon D. Giorgini  Alan W. Harris  Jean-Luc Margot 《Icarus》2006,182(2):474-481

Arecibo (2380 MHz, 13 cm) radar observations of 2005 CR37 provide detailed images of a candidate contact binary: a 1.8-km-long, extremely bifurcated object. Although the asteroid's two lobes are round, there are regions of modest topographic relief, such as an elevated, 200-m-wide facet, that suggest that the lobes are geologically more complex than either coherent fragments or homogeneous rubble piles. Since January 1999, about 9% of NEAs larger than ∼200 m imaged by radar can be described as candidate contact binaries.  相似文献   

Petrological analysis of the pre-eruptive magmatic process prior to the 2006 explosive eruptions at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador)

Understanding the processes at the origin of explosive events is crucial for volcanic hazard mitigation, especially during long-lasting eruptions at andesitic volcanoes. This work exposes the case of Tungurahua volcano, whose unrest occurred in 1999. Since this date, the eruptive activity was characterized by low-to moderate explosiveness, including phases with stronger canon-like explosions and regional ash fallout. However, in 2006, a sudden increase of the explosiveness led to pyroclastic flow-forming eruptions on July 14th (VEI 2) and August 16–17th (VEI 3). All magmas emitted from 1999 to 2005, as well as the samples from the 2006 eruptions, have homogeneous bulk-rock andesitic compositions (58–59 wt.% SiO₂), and contain the same mineral assemblage consisting of pl + cpx + opx + mag ± ol. However, during the August 16–17th event, the erupted tephra comprise two types of magmas: a dominant, brown andesitic scoria; and scarce, light-grey pumice representing a subordinate, silica-rich juvenile component. For the andesitic magma, thermobarometric data point to magmatic temperatures ranging from 950 to 1015 °C and pressures in the range of 200 to 250 MPa, which corresponds to 7.5–9.5 km below the summit. Disequilibrium textures in plagioclase and pyroxene phenocrysts, particularly thin overgrowth rims, indicate the recharge of this magma body by mafic magma. Between 1999 and 2005, repeated injections from depth fed the intermittent eruptive activity observed while silica-rich melts were produced by in-situ crystallization in the peripheral parts of the reservoir. In April 2006, the recharge of a primitive magma produced strong convection and homogenisation in the reservoir, as well as pressure increase and higher magma ascent rate after seven years of only moderately explosive activity. This work emphasizes the importance of petrological studies in constraining the pre-eruptive magmatic conditions and processes, as a tool for understanding the fundamental causes of the changes in the eruptive dynamism, particularly the occurrence of paroxysmal phases in andesitic systems with open-vent behaviour.  相似文献

Méthodes de quantification des transferts de matiére par les fluides dans les roches métamorphiques déformées     

Jean-Luc Potdevin  Didier Marquer 《Geodinamica Acta》2013,26(3):193-206

Résumé

Les transferts de matière par les fluides se marquent dans les roches métamorphiques par des différenciations chimiques et minéralogiques. Une approche quantitative des relations entre transferts de matière et déformation passe par l’étude de ces différenciations dans des structures présentant soit un gradient continu de l’intensité de la déformation, soit des sites structuraux distincts. Dans ces structures, la roche initiale est souvent préservée dans des zones protégées. Des bilans de matière, par comparaison de cette analyse initiale avec les différentes roches déformées sont effectuées. Une référence chimique, minéralogique ou volumique est choisie dans des diagrammes où sont reportés les gains ou les pertes des constituants de la roche pour les différentes valeurs possibles de son changement de volume. Les quantités de matière transférée et les variations de volume sont alors lues directement dans les diagrammes ou calculées par des relations générales. Dans des diagrammes de variation chimique, ces résultats sont reportés pour chaque roche transformée, en fonction d’un paramètre de différenciation : intensité de la déformation, de la transfonnation chimique ou minéralogique, position dans la structure de déformation. Suivant les cas, ces diagrammes donnent l’évolution de la mobilité des éléments au cours de la déformation ou de la différenciation chimique, les gradients de changement de volume ou les variations de masse dans la structure de déformation étudiée. Des exemples d’un bilan minéralogique et volumique entre flancs et charnière d’un pli, d’un bilan chimique dans une zone de cisaillement et de l’écriture d’une réaction métamorphique sont présentés. Les différentes étapes d’une approche quantitative des relations entre transfert de matière et déformation sont récapitulés.  相似文献   

Geology and biostratigraphy of the Jurassic and lower cretaceous series to the north of the Lhasa Block (Tibet,China)

Abstract

— The Lhasa Block (s.l.) is bounded to the South by the Tertiary Yarlung Zangbo suture zone and to the North by the terminal Jurassic/earliest Cretaceous Bangong Nu Jiang suture zone. Several tectonostratigraphic units have been recognized in the central-northern part of the Lhasa Block. These are from bottom to top : 1) a thick turbiditic series with a few lenses of allodapic limestones which have yielded an Aalenian — Bajocian foraminiferal assemblage. This series is tectonieally overlain by the Donqiao ophiolite; 2) the continental to shallow marine late Malm to lowermost Cretaceous Zigetang Formation which disconformably overlies the Donqiao ophiolite and 3) continental red detrital rocks or marine Early/Late Aptian boundary to Early Albian foraminifera-rich bedded limestones in which some volcanic rocks are locally interbedded.

We discuss the palaeogeographical distribution and biostratigraphical meaning of some foraminifera (Gutnicella cayeuxi (LUCAS), Palorbitolina fen<ícu/o?(Bl .LMKNBACIl), Praeorbitolina cormyi SCHROEDER and Palor-bilolmoides hedini CHREREHI and ScilKOKDK.lt) and their bearing on the radiometric age of the Aptian-Albian boundary.  相似文献   

Modèle de ruissellement,avancement et infiltration pour l'irrigation à la planche sur un sol recouvrant un sous-sol très perméable     

Jean-Claude Bader  Jean-Luc Saos  François Charron 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(2):177-191

Résumé

Développé sur tableur MS Excel, Calhy est un modèle monodimensionnel d'irrigation à la planche sur calan homogène, pour un sol sur horizon sous-jacent très drainant. De type onde cinétique ou onde diffusante, il adapte le modèle de Green et Ampt et l'équation de Manning-Strickler en tenant compte d'une rétention de surface. Avec cinq paramètres, dont deux mesurés pour décrire l'état d'humectation initial du sol et trois optimisés, le modèle reproduit l'avancement du front ruisselé et le débit de colature observés lors d'irrigations sur prairie dans la plaine semi aride de la Crau (Sud de la France). Les paramètres optimisés sont: la conductivité hydraulique à saturation du sol, constante; le coefficient de Strickler et la rétention de surface, décroissants durant la saison avec l'évolution de la flore et du microrelief. Didactique et convivial, le modèle peut aider à optimiser l'irrigation, dans le but d'obtenir l'infiltration désirée en apportant le moins d'eau possible.

Standardized uncertainty analysis for hydrometry: a review of relevant approaches and implementation examples     

Marian Muste  Jean-Luc Bertrand-Krajewski 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(4):643-667

Abstract

The water-centric community has continuously made efforts to identify, assess and implement rigorous uncertainty analyses for routine hydrological measurements. This paper reviews some of the most relevant efforts and subsequently demonstrates that the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM) is a good candidate for estimation of uncertainty intervals for hydrometry. The demonstration is made by implementing the GUM to typical hydrometric applications and comparing the analysis results with those obtained using the Monte Carlo method. The results show that hydrological measurements would benefit from the adoption of the GUM as the working standard, because of its soundness, the availability of software for practical implementation and potential for extending the GUM to hydrological/hydraulic numerical simulations.

Terrace reconstruction and long profile projection: a case study from the Solent river system near Southampton,England     

Rebecca M. Briant  Martin R. Bates  Gilbert D. Marshall  Jean-Luc Schwenninger  Francis F. Wenban-Smith 《Proceedings of the Geologists' Association. Geologists' Association》2012,123(3):438-449

River terrace sequences are important frameworks for archaeological evidence and as such it is important to produce robust correlations between what are often fragmentary remnants of ancient terraces. This paper examines both conceptual and practical issues related to such correlations, using a case study from the eastern part of the former Solent River system near Southampton, England. In this region two recent terrace schemes have been constructed using different data to describe the terrace deposits: one based mainly on terrace surfaces; the other on gravel thicknesses, often not recording the terrace surface itself. The utility of each of these types of data in terrace correlation is discussed in relation to the complexity of the record, the probability of post-depositional alteration of surface sediments and comparison of straight-line projections with modern river long profiles. Correlation using age estimates is also discussed, in relation to optically stimulated luminescence dating of sand lenses within terrace gravels in this region during the PASHCC project. It is concluded that the need for replication at single sites means that this approach has limited use for correlative purposes, although dating of sediments is important for understanding wider landscape evolution and patterns of human occupation.  相似文献
