BATSE/OSSE rapid burst response     

S. M. Matz  J. E. Grove  W. N. Johnson  J. D. Kurfess  G. H. Share  G. J. Fishman  C. A. Meegan 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,231(1-2):127-130

The BATSE and OSSE instrument teams have modified flight software to promptly (within 2 min of trigger) slew the OSSE detectors to burst locations determined on-board by BATSE. This enables OSSE to make sensitive searches for prompt and delayed post-burst line and continuum emission above 50 keV. In the best cases our sensitivity will be more than an order of magnitude better than any other search in this energy range. We expect to slew to 1–2 bursts per month, based on the OSSE FOV and BATSE event rate. Detections or limits from continued operation of this system may provide significant constraints on burst models. As an example of the observations made using this system, we present preliminary limits for post-burst emission from GRB 950223 on several time scales.  相似文献   

Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 Collision with Jupiter: A Model of G-Site Dust Composition     

Daryl H. Wallis  N.C. Wickramasinghe 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1997,254(1):25-35

Scattering models of aerosol particles at the G-impact site (18 July1994) are presented for a number of likely compositional candidates. Two differing dust particle population distribution functions are taken, along with varying aerosol cloud densities, leading to differing optical depths. A number of models including graphite, amorphous carbon, astrophysical silicate, water ice and a number of organic compounds are discussed, but no single material provides a fully satisfactory fit to the published observations. A porous silicate/graphite composite is found to provide a good fit to the spectral data. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

A kinetic model of gas flow in a porous cometary mantle     

Yu. V. Skorov  H. Rickman   《Planetary and Space Science》1995,43(12)

A numerical study of gas flow through a porous cometary mantle is presented. A kinetic model based on the well-known Test Particle Monte Carlo Method for the solution of rarefied gas dynamics problems is proposed. The physical model consists of two spatial plane regions: the condensed ice phase and a porous dust mantle. The structure of the porous dust layer is described as a bundle of cylindrical inclined channels not crossing each other. A vertical temperature gradient may exist across the dust mantle. The aim is to investigate how the characteristics of molecular flow depend on the capillary length, inclination angle, and temperature gradient. Examples illustrating a significant deviation of some results from equilibrium values are shown. In particular, the gas velocity distribution at both ends of the pore is strongly non-Maxwellian if there is an important temperature contrast across the pore. The emergent gas flow rate is found to vary with the pore length/radius ratio in excellent agreement with Clausing's empirical formula. The degree of collimation of the flow is quantitatively studied as a function of the length/radius ratio, and consequences for the jet force of outgassing through a dust mantle or, indeed, a rough surface are estimated.  相似文献   

A survey of nova remnants     

H. W. Duerbeck  W. C. Seitter 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,131(1-2):467-473

Exnovae and nova shells are generally faint and difficult to observe. Only a few have been studied, and even less of them in sufficient detail. We give a progress report on our survey of exnovae and nova shells, especially on the results of a spectral survey of novae in the southern Milky Way. The three-dimensional structure in the light of H derived for the nebula of GK Per is displayed.Based on observations obtained at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile, and at the Centro Astronomico Hispano-Aleman Calar Alto, Spain, operated by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg.Paper presented at the IAU Colloquium No. 93 on Cataclysmic Variables.

Atomic data relevant to line formation in strongly magnetized white dwarf stars     

G. Wunner  F. Geyer  H. Ruder 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,131(1-2):595-599

The discovery of magnetic field strengths in the range of 500 million Gauss in the objects Grw+70°8247 and PG1031+224 has given enormous impetus to investigations of magnetic white dwarf stars. We have determined intensities of Balmer transitions for B>10⁸ Gauss as a function of field and find strong oscillations of the transitions strengths, which are of importance to the quantitative analysis of the observed spectra and the interpretation of polarimetric measurements in these objects.Paper presented at the IAU Colloquium No. 93 on Cataclysmic Variables.

The energy distributions of magnetic variables: The effects of inhomogeneous accretion columns     

H. S. Stockman  A. F. Lubenow 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,131(1-2):607-611

Previous shock models for the AM Herculis-type magnetic variables have assumed homogeneous accretion columns, with constant infall densities out to a characteristic column radius. The resulting energy distributions are strongly peaked in the visible to ultraviolet and are in disagreement with observations. We report the preliminary results of calculations with more general radial functions of the infall density. Exponential and gaussian profiles yield continua profiles produce continua which are flatter and in better agreement with observations. Comparisons are made to data for AM Her and E2003+225.Paper presented at the IAU Colloquium No. 93 on Cataclysmic Variables.
