On the mass-luminosity relation     

George E. McCluskey Jr.  Yoji Kondo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1972,17(1):134-149

The results of a least-squares study of the mass-luminosity relation for eclipsing and visual binary stars consisting of main sequence components are presented. Two methods are discussed. In Part A, the values of the coefficientsA andB in the relation logM=A+BM _Bol are determined. Part B presents a technique which permits the determination of α and β in the relationM=αL ^β, when only the sum of the masses, and not the individual masses of each component, is known. The results and a comparison of the two methods are discussed. It is found that the following massluminosity relation represents the observational data satisfactorily: $$log M = 0.504 - 0.103M_{BOL,} {\text{ }} - \leqslant M_{BOL} \leqslant + 10.5$$ . A discussion of the data and of the possibility that separate mass-luminosity relations may exist for visual and eclipsing binaries is given. The possiblity that more than one mass-luminosity relation is required in the range ?8≤M _Bol ≤+13 is also discussed.  相似文献   

High temperature plasma inβ Lyrae,observed fromCopernicus

High-resolution ultraviolet spectrophotometry of the complex close binary systemβ Lyrae was performed with the Princeton Telescope Spectrometer onCopernicus. Observations were made at phases 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 with the resolution of 0.2 Å (far-ultraviolet) and 0.4 Å (mid-ultraviolet). The far-ultraviolet spectrum is completely dominated by emission lines indicating existence of high temperature plasma in this binary. The spectrum ofthis object is unlike any other object observed fromCopernicus. It is believed that this high temperature plasma results from dynamic mass transfer taking place in this binary. The current results are compared with the OAO-2 Wisconsin Experiment Package observations and other observational results. The possibility that the secondary component is a collapsed object is also discussed; theCopernicus observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the spectroscopically invisible secondary component is a black hole.  相似文献   

On the formation of a neutron star in a close binary system     

George E. McCluskey Jr.  Yoji Kondo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1971,10(3):464-470

The effects on a close binary system of one component becoming a neutron star as a result of a supernova explosion are discussed in this paper. In the case of a Type I supernova, the system can remain bound in many cases of interest. For a Type II supernova, the system will probably be disrupted although in some cases a remnant of the companion to the supernova may remain in a bound orbit.Consequently, neutron stars formed in Type I supernova explosions may exist in close binary systems. Such systems may be strong X-ray emitters due to mass flow as suggested by Shklovsky. Photons with energies in the 1–50 MeV region should also be emitted.  相似文献   

Effective strength of saturated double porous media with a Drucker–Prager solid phase     

Wanqing Shen  Zheng He  Luc Dormieux  Djimédo Kondo 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2014,38(3):281-296

This study aims at determining the macroscopic strength of porous materials having a Drucker–Prager solid phase at microscale and two populations of saturated pores with different pressures at both micro and meso scales. To this end, and taking account of the available results by Maghous et al. (2009), we first derive a closed‐form expression of approximate criterion for a dry porous medium whose matrix obeys to a general elliptic criterion. The methodology to formulate this criterion is based on limit analysis of a hollow sphere subjected to a uniform strain rate boundary conditions. The obtained results are then implemented in a two‐step homogenization procedure, which interestingly delivers analytical expression of the macroscopic criterion for dry double porous media whose solid phase at microscale obeys to a Drucker–Prager criterion. After a brief discussion of the results, we propose an extension to double porous saturated media, allowing therefore to quantify the simultaneous effects of the different pore pressures applied on each voids population. The results are discussed in terms of the existence or not of effective stresses. Finally, they are assessed by comparing them to recently available results.

Sticking in moderate velocity oblique impact: Application to planetology     

J. Leliwa-Kopystyński  T. Taniguchi  K. Kondo  A. Sawaoka 《Icarus》1984,57(2):280-293

The sticking behavior of metal—metal collisions in the velocity range ～50–650 m/sec—has been investigated experimentally. A map of sticking efficiency versus impact angle and impact velocity has been established for lead. The threshold sticking velocity for normal impact equals approximately 100 m/sec for lead, 140 m/sec for tin, and 500 m/sec for iron in the case of spherical projectiles of 8-mm diameter, and a semi-infinite target. The boundary between the plastic rebound area and the perfect sticking area is found to be a line of constant normal velocity. The case when projectile mass is equal to target. ass ($\text{?3}\text{g}$, lead) has been investigated as well. The experimental results have been extrapolated to higher temperature and then applied to iron, nickel, and magnesium silicate. Near the melting point ($\text{?1800°}\text{K}$), the sticking velocities were estimated as 250–350 m/sec for iron and nickel and about 40% higher for magnesium silicate. It was concluded that metals stick more easily than rocky materials because of their lower sticking velocity and much larger interval of temperature over which sticking is possible.  相似文献   

On the mass determination of collapsed objects in close binaries: Applications to black-holes and neutron stars     

Yoji Kondo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1974,27(2):293-301

Observational information required for determination of the masses of collapsed objects in close binaries is examined. Assumptions commonly used to evaluate the masses or thier lower limits, in the absence of the required observational data, are critically discussed. A reliable determination of the mass of a collapsed object in X-ray emitting binaries is yet to be made. No definitive case has been made for or against the existence of a black-hole in CygX-1.  相似文献   

Recovery of entire shocked samples in a range of pressure from ~100 GPa to Hugoniot elastic limit          下载免费PDF全文

We carried out laser shock experiments and wholly recovered shocked olivine and quartz samples. We investigated the petrographic features based on optical micrographs of sliced samples and found that each recovered sample comprises three regions, I (optically dark), II (opaque), and III (transparent). Scanning electron microscopy combined with electron backscattered diffraction shows that there are no crystal features in the region I; the materials in the region I have once melted. Moreover, numerical calculations performed with the iSALE shock physics code suggest that the boundary between regions II and III corresponds to Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL). Thus, we succeeded in the recovery of the entire shocked samples experienced over a wide range of pressures from HEL (~10 GPa) to melting pressure (~100 GPa) in a hierarchical order.  相似文献   

1-Gbps VLBI, The First Detection of Fringes     

J. Nakajima  Y. Koyama  M. Sekido  N. Kurihara  T. Kondo  M. Kimura  N. Kawaguchi 《Experimental Astronomy》2001,11(1):57-69

We report on the detection of VLBI fringes from quasars by a new VLBI system operating at 1 Gbps (1024 Mbits-per-second). Newly developed 1024 Msps (mega sample-per-second) AD samplers and 1024 Mbps recorders were used for the observations. A correlator with external buffers was used for the 1024 Mbps correlation processing of the tapes data.Our new VLBI system enabled 1024 Mbps VLBI, and this allowed the sampling of a 512 MHz bandwidth from a radio telescope receiver. This is the highest sampling speed ever used for VLBI, and the widest bandwidth used for VLBI observation. Initial sensitivity as evaluated by SNR comparison with earlier VLBI systems produced results to matched the expanded bandwidth. In our first observations, simultaneous optical fibre linked real-time VLBI observations were made to check the validity of data and precisely detemine the clock offsets among the radio telescopes.  相似文献   

On the possibility of a geocoronal contribution to the celestial soft X-ray background     

John E. Mack  Yoji Kondo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1974,30(1):123-126

The possibility is investigated that a significant fraction of the X-ray background in the energy range 0.2–0.28 keV originates in the geocorona through bremsstrahlung. It is concluded that the geocoronal flux must be substantial at some times and the possibility exists that an observable geocoronal background exists at all times. The existing data on the soft X-ray background is found to be compatible with the hypothesis of a geocoronal component.  相似文献   

Statistical study of Am stars in spectroscopic binary systems     

Masatoshi Kitamura  Masayuki Kondo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1978,56(2):341-362

Using the Am components in spectroscopic binaries, the region of metallicism in the (logm, logR) diagram is statistically discussed. The metallic-line characteristics appear in a slightly evolved stage near the Main Sequence within a belt characterized by logg=3.8–4.2, for which the radiiR/R =1.5–2.7. The distribution in the diagram indicates that appreciable differences should exist in the abundances as well as in the mixing lengths of the atmospheres of the Am components.Synchronism between rotation and revolution for the Am components is discussed, and it is clearly found that the synchronism holds accurately for the Am binaries with periods less than about six days, but for those with periods between six and ten days some Am components corotate and some do not, perhaps depending upon their ages.Using the Am spectroscopic binaries with periods less than twelve days, we find that the excess of metallicity is statistically correlated with the rotational velocity; and it is confirmed that the metallicity grossly decreases with increasing rotational velocity. If the effect of a non-Am secondary component is eliminated from a [m ₁]-value for the combined light, the correlation between metallicity excess and rotational velocity for the Am components only should approach [m ₁]/V (km s^–1)=–0.00077.  相似文献
