Yu. A. Kugaenko  V. A. Saltykov  V. I. Sinitsyn  A. A. Shishkin 《Russian Journal of Pacific Geology》2008,2(3):218-227

In 2003–2004, long-term seismic noise observations were launched on Shikotan Island (Lesser Kuril Range) based on the “Shikotan” dormant regional seismic station. The geological and geophysical data on the registration area are reported. Information about the equipment and its technical specifications is given. The precursors to the strongest local earthquakesthat occurred in the Shikotan Island region in January 2005–March 2007 are identified.  相似文献   

Oxygen isotopes in the Cretaceous-Paleogene granites of Primorye and some problems of their genesis     

G. A. Valui  E. Yu. Moskalenko  A. A. Strizhkova  G. R. Sayadyan 《Russian Journal of Pacific Geology》2008,2(2):150-157

The Cretaceous-Paleogene granites of the Eastern Sikhote Alin volcanic belt (ESAVB) and Late Cretaceous granitoids of the Tatibin Series (Central Sikhote Alin) are subdivided into three groups according to their oxygen isotope composition: group I with δ¹⁸O from +5.5 to +6.5‰, group II with δ¹⁸O from +7.6 to +10.2‰, and group III with less than +4.5‰. Group I rocks are similar in oxygen isotope composition to that of oceanic basalts and can be derived by melting of basaltic crust. Group II (rocks of the Tatibin Series) have higher δ¹⁸O, which suggests that their parental melts were contaminated by sedimentary material. The low ¹⁸O composition of group III rocks can be explained by their derivation from ¹⁸O-depleted rocks or by subsolidus isotopic exchange with low-¹⁸O fluid or meteoric waters. The relatively low δ¹⁸O and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr in the granitoids of Primorye suggest their derivation from rocks with a short-lived crustal history and can result from the following: (1) melting of sedimentary rocks enriched in young volcanic material that was accumulated in the trench along the transform continental margin (granites of the Tatibin Series) and (2) melting of a mixture of abyssal sediments, ocean floor basalts, and upper mantle in the lithospheric plate that subsided beneath the continent in the subduction zone (granites of the ESAVB).  相似文献

Detection of a new interstellar molecular ion, H2COH+ (protonated formaldehyde)     

Ohishi M  Ishikawa SI  Amano T  Oka H  Irvine WM  Dickens JE  Ziurys LM  Apponi AJ 《The Astrophysical journal》1996,471(1):L61-L64

A new interstellar molecular ion, H2COH+ (protonated formaldehyde), has been detected toward Sgr B2, Orion KL, W51, and possibly in NGC 7538 and DR21(OH). Six transitions were detected in Sgr B2(M). The 1(1,0)-1(0,1) transition was detected in all sources listed above. Searches were also made toward the cold, dark clouds TMC-1 and L134N, Orion (3N, 1E), and a red giant, IRC + 10216, without success. The excitation temperatures of H2COH+ are calculated to be 60-110 K, and the column densities are on the order of 10(12)-10(14) cm-2 in Sgr B2, Orion KL, and W51. The fractional abundance of H2COH+ is on the order of 10(-11) to 10-(9), and the ratio of H2COH+ to H2CO is in the range 0.001-0.5 in these objects. The values in Orion KL seem to be consistent with the "early time" values of recent model calculations by Lee, Bettens, & Herbst, but they appear to be higher than the model values in Sgr B2 and W51 even if we take the large uncertainties of column densities of H2CO into account. We suggest production routes starting from CH3OH may play an important role in the formation of H2COH+.  相似文献   

Octahedral-site Fe2+ quadrupole splitting distributions from Mössbauer spectroscopy along the (OH, F)-annite join     

D. G. Rancourt  J. Y. Ping  B. Boukili  J. L. Robert 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1996,23(1):63-71

We have performed a detailed Mössbauer study of synthetic annites on the (OH, F)-join. Recently developed data treatment and spectral analysis methods were used to extract true intrinsic Fe²⁺ quadrupole splitting distributions (QSDs) that represent the most information that can be resolved from the spectra. The overall room temperature (RT) QSDs can be consistently interpreted in terms of four QSD contributions (or populations) centered at: QS_HH2.55 mm/s for Fe²⁺O₄(OH)₂ octahedra (cis and trans not resolved), QS_HF 2.35 mm/s for Fe²⁺O₄(OH)F octahedra (cis and trans not resolved), QS_cFF2.15 mm/s for cis-Fe²⁺O₄F₂ octahedra, and QS_tFF 1.5 mm/s for trans-Fe²⁺O₄F₂ octahedra. Each such contribution has a width ( 0.2 mm/s) caused by distortions of the octahedra. Minor contributions due to Fe²⁺O₅(OH) and Fe²⁺O₅F octahedra probably also contribute to the overall Fe²⁺ QSDs. The ferric iron spectral components were also characterized. Here, two distinct types of octahedral Fe³⁺ contributions are seen and interpreted as being due mainly to Fe³⁺O₅OH and Fe³⁺O₅F octahedra, respectively. Tetrahedral Fe³⁺ is seen only in the OH-annite end-member and the total Fe³⁺ content drops significantly on addition of F.

Extreme value analysis of diamond-size distributions     

J. Caers  P. Vynckier  J. Beirlant  L. Rombouts 《Mathematical Geology》1996,28(1):25-43

Extreme value analysis provides a semiparametric method for analyzing the extreme long tails of skew distributions which may be observed when handling mining data. The estimation of important tail characteristics, such as the extreme value index, allows for a discrimination between competing distribution models. It measures the thickness of such long tailed distributions, if only a limited sample is available. This paper stresses the practical implementation of extreme value theory, which is used to discriminate a lognormal from a mixed lognormal distribution in a case study of size distributions for alluvial diamonds.  相似文献   

Hydromagnetic Rayleigh problem for a porous wall in slip flow regime     

G. C. Pande  C. L. Goudas 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1996,243(2):285-289

An analysis of the Rayleigh problem in MHD for a porous wall in a slip flow regime is considered. The normal velocity of suction/injection at the wall is assumed to be time dependent. The solution of the problem is obtained in the form of a power series, in terms of known functions. The variations of the velocity field and the skin friction are shown graphically and are followed by a quantitative discussion.Science Update, The Pioneer, India, 21 July 1995 edition  相似文献   

On estimates of lower and upper limits for the masses of compact components in close binaries     

G. M. Beskin  N. V. Borisov  L. A. Pustil'nik 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1996,238(2):141-149

A method of determination of limits for a compact component mass on the base of disk emission lines parameters is described. Lower limit of the mass depends upon the distance between maxima in double peaked lines, the upper the full width of the line. The method is tested for some cataclysmic variables with well known masses of compact components. We obtain a lower limit for the mass of the compact object in the close binary SS433 is 4.9M . This component is apparently a black hole.  相似文献   

Differences in the emission line spectrum at maximum and minimum of the nuclear brightness of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 7469     

I. I. Pronik  L. P. Metik  N. I. Merkulova 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1996,239(1):97-111

We have compiled data on relative intensties, fluxes and profiles of emission lines of the NGC 7469 nuclear spectrum observed in the optical region by many authors during 1966–1986. The aim of our investigation is to reveal differences in the characteristics of the emission lines in maxima and minima of the nuclear brightness. The distinction was revealed for relative intensities, fluxes and profiles. During the extreme maxima profiles ofH ,H andH lines, colour indices of the nucleus and its high level of accretion rate resemble those of QSOs. On the other hand, during the deep minimum 1989 the nucleus had the properties of a Sy2 type. There is a relation between variable fluxes ofH and [OIII] 5007 Å lines which is different for the minima and maxima of the nuclear brightness. The fluxes of the [OIII] 5007 Å line during the minima of the nuclear brightness are systematically higher than those in maxima. The above mentioned peculiarities of the emission lines in the NGC 7469 nucleus can be understood in terms of the increase of electron temperature, electron density and velocities of the nuclear gas from minimum to maximum.  相似文献   

Propagation of solar cosmic rays: Diffusion versus focused diffusion     

L. G. Kocharov  J. Torsti  R. Vainio  G. A. Kovaltsov 《Solar physics》1996,165(1):205-208

This paper is designed to bring to the attention the fact that the effect of focusing of solar energetic particles is always essential as compared with scattering, no matter how small the value of the mean free path may be. That is why, an ordinary (focusing-free) diffusion approach can not be applied to the solar cosmic ray transport. In the case of high-energy solar particles, the focused diffusion is demonstrated to lead to a power law decay of energetic particle intensity much like an ordinary diffusion. However, the power law index of the decay is renormalized by the focusing.  相似文献
