We present OH 18-cm observations of comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) at the Nançay radio telescope. On nucleus and offset position observations allowed us to obtain both OH production rates and quenching radii. The maximum OH production rate was reached around perihelion, at about10³¹ s^-1.  相似文献   

Stability of interplay motions   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

M. Hénon 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1977,15(2):243-261

A family of rectilinear periodic solutions of the three-body problem, in which the central body collides alternately with each of the two other bodies, is investigated numerically for all values of the three masses. It is found that for every mass combination there exists just one solution of this kind. The linear stability of the orbits with respect to arbitrary three-dimensional perturbations is also investigated. Domains of stability and instability are displayed in a triangular mass diagram. Their boundaries form one-parameter families of critical orbits, which are tabulated. Limiting cases where one or two masses vanish are studied in detail. The domains of stability cover nearly one half of the total area in the mass diagram: this reinforces the conclusion that real triple stars might have motions of a kind entirely different from the usual hierarchical arrangement.  相似文献   

Solar abundance of praseodymium     

Emile Biémont  Nicolas Grevesse  Øivind Hauge 《Solar physics》1979,61(1):17-22

16 lines of Pr ii possibly present in the solar photospheric spectrum have been studied. When including hyperfine structure in synthetic calculations, investigations of 9 lines result in an abundance A _Pr = 0.71 ± 0.08 in the log A _H = 12.00 scale.  相似文献

Helical structures around quiescent solar prominences computed from observable magnetic fields     

P. Démoulin  M. A. Raadu 《Solar physics》1992,142(2):291-311

We analyse the magnetic support of solar prominences in two-dimensional linear force-free fields. A line current is added to model a helical configuration, well suited to trap dense plasma in its bottom part. The prominence is modeled as a vertical mass-loaded current sheet in equilibrium between gravity and magnetic forces.We use a finite difference numerical technique which incorporates both vertical photospheric and horizontal prominence magnetic field measurements. The solution of this mixed boundary problem generally presents singularities at both the bottom and top of the model prominence. The removal of the singularities is achieved by superposition of solutions. Together with the line current equilibrium, these three conditions determine the amplitude of the magnetic field in the prominence, the flux below the prominence and the current intensity, for a given height of the line current. A numerical check of accuracy in the removal of singularities, is done by using known analytical solutions in the potential limit.We have investigated both bipolar and quadrupolar photospheric regions. In this mixed boundary problem the polarity of the field component orthogonal to the prominence is mainly fixed by the imposed height of the line current. For bipolar regions above (respectively below) a critical height the configuration is inverse (respectively normal). For quadrupolar regions the polarity is reversed if we refer the prominence polarity to the closest photospheric polarities. We introduce the polarity of the component parallel to the prominence axis with reference to a sheared arcade. Increasing the shear with fixed boundary conditions can increase or decrease the mass supported depending on the configuration.  相似文献   

Observed interstellar magnetized supershells and stellar-wind theories     

J. P. Vallée 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1994,220(2):243-252

Early theories of stellar winds from an association of OB stars predicted the formation of a common superbubble enclosed by athin, dense supershell, through the combined effort of the winds from the stars at the center. These early theories were adequate for explaining the primary observational features (defined as: shell age, outer radius, shell speed, shell mass, shell energy), but they were not adequate to explain the secondary features (defined as: shell thickness, shell magnetic field, shell gas density). A recently published theory for a stellar-wind-bubble and supershell, predicting a range ofthick supershells, can now be compared with the secondary observational features.Using the observed parameters from all large (> 100 pc) interstellar magnetized supershells near the sun (< 1 kpc away), I assemble for comparison with stellar-wind theories: (a) the primary observational features of these shells — I find: large shell age, large outer radius, low shell speed, large shell mass, large shell energy; and (b) some of their secondary observational features — I find: thick shell, low shell magnetic field strengh, low shell gas density.  相似文献   

Magnetic Energy and Helicity Fluxes at the Photospheric Level     

Démoulin  P.  Berger  M.A. 《Solar physics》2003,215(2):203-215

The source of coronal magnetic energy and helicity lies below the surface of the Sun, probably in the convective zone dynamo. Measurements of magnetic and velocity fields can capture the fluxes of both magnetic energy and helicity crossing the photosphere. We point out the ambiguities which can occur when observations are used to compute these fluxes. In particular, we show that these fluxes should be computed only from the horizontal motions deduced by tracking the photospheric cut of magnetic flux tubes. These horizontal motions include the effect of both the emergence and the shearing motions whatever the magnetic configuration complexity is. We finally analyze the observational difficulties involved in deriving such fluxes, in particular the limitations of the correlation tracking methods.  相似文献   

Statistical Analysis of the Fluctuations Detected in High-Altitude Neutron Monitor,Solar and Interplanetary Parameters   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Caballero  R.  Valdés-galicia  J.F. 《Solar physics》2003,213(2):413-426

Galactic cosmic ray fluctuations from six mountain altitude neutron monitors around the world are analyzed during the period 1990–1999. The period comprises the maximum and declining phase of solar cycle 22 and the beginning of cycle 23. The evolution of the most significant periodicities and comparisons with solar activity and interplanetary indicators are presented. We found a 38-day variation present in all neutron monitors, solar activity parameters, and IMF fluctuations. The possible origin of this and other stable periodicities of cosmic ray variations in the analyzed period are discussed.  相似文献   

PRIMA for the VLTI – Science

The four main scientific objectives of PRIMA – the Phase-Referenced Imaging and Micro-arc second Astrometry facility for the VLTI – will be described:– extra-solar system characterization with astrometry, to detect planets and evaluate their mass, and imaging of the dust accretion disk,– galactic center study with astrometry(dynamics of the bulge stars) and imaging at 10μm (piercing the gas and dust clouds surrounding the galactic center),– observations of AGNs and other extra-galactic objects, too faint to be observed without PRIMA, for which partial imaging is needed to constrain their structuremodels,– micro-gravitational lensing event resolution (imaging and astrometry of their photo-center) in the Galactic Bulge and Magellanic Clouds, helping to determine directly the lens mass and distance.

Bi-Dimensional Spectrography at HST-Like Spatial Resolution: [OIII] Kinematics and Ionization in the NLR of NGC 1068     

E. Pécontal  P. Ferruit  L. Binette  A.S. Wilson 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1997,248(1-2):167-174

We present a study at HST-like spatial resolution of the gas kinematics in the innermost part of NGC 1068. This work is based on observations with the integral field spectrograph TIGER mounted on the CFH Telescope. We first derived the final spatial PSF of our data and checked its photometric integrity by comparison with two independent [OIII] HST images (FOC and WFPC2). We then performed a spatial deconvolution of the data-cube constraining the sum of the deconvolved velocity-slices to be as close as possible to the HST image. The resulting deconvolved data-cube has then a resolution similar to the HST image. It shows that the velocity distribution of the inner clouds detected with the HST differs strongly from a simple NE-SW ejection flow. We thus show that the previous interpretations of the double-peaked lines NE of the nucleus must be revisited.
