Two-colour photometric selection of high-redshift galaxies     

Robin Stevens †  Mark Lacy 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,325(3):897-906

In this paper we describe a set of models to predict the colours of galaxies over a wide range of redshifts. We present examples of output from the simulations, and discuss their application to the selection of galaxies at high redshifts, particularly through identification of the Lyman break. Additionally we consider the optimal choices of filters for selection at a range of redshifts.
An interface to a subset of the simulations has been made available on the World Wide Web for the benefit of the community at the location http://www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~rejs/research/galcols.html/  相似文献   

Waves in the solar photosphere     

Robin Stebbins  Philip R. Goode 《Solar physics》1987,110(2):237-253

Time-sequences of line profile data have been subjected to a unique analysis which produces an amplitude and phase of the velocity and intensity at several line depths for each time sample and spatial point on the Sun. The data have been filtered to pass only the frequencies and spatial wavenumbers of the 5-min band. Yet, a secondary oscillation emerges, the phase of which propagates downward. Empirical eigenfunctions for velocity and intensity are given, and the kinetic energy flux is computed.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under contract with the National Science Foundation.  相似文献   

The Basel 1356 earthquake: which fault produced it?     

Bertrand Meyer  Robin Lacassin  Jacques Brulhet  Bernard Mouroux 《地学学报》1994,6(1):54-63

The 1356 Basel earthquake was the strongest event to have shaken NW Europe in the last thousand years. The peculiar location of this historical event makes it possible to relate it to normal faulting along the edges of the Rhine Graben, as well as to reverse faulting along the Jura frontal thrust or to fault reactivation within the Hercynian basement. Alternate hypotheses are discussed and their implications compared taking into account available structural data and results of the morphotectonic study performed in the epicentral area. This study combines field observations with the analysis of SPOT satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and detailed topography. It is concluded that the Basel earthquake most probably reactivated a basement fault (reverse or wrench fault) beneath the shallow-depth aseismic detachment that underlies the Jura Mountains.  相似文献

Distribution of benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the transitional environment of the Djerba lagoon (Tunisia)     

Akram El Kateb  Claudio Stalder  Christoph Neururer  Robin Fentimen  Jorge E. Spangenberg  Silvia Spezzaferri 《Swiss Journal of Geoscience》2018,111(3):589-606

The eastern edge of the Djerba Island represents an important tourist pole. However, studies describing the environmental processes affecting this Island are scarce. Although never studied before, the peculiar Djerba lagoon is well known by the local population and by tourists. In July 2014, surface sediment and seawater samples were collected in this lagoon to measure grain size, organic matter content and living foraminiferal assemblages to describe environmental conditions. Seawater samples were also collected and the concentration of 17 chemical elements were measured by ICP-OES. The results show that a salinity gradient along the studied transect clearly impacts seagrass distribution, creating different environmental conditions inside the Djerba lagoon. Biotic and abiotic parameters reflect a transitional environment from hypersaline to normal marine conditions. Living benthic foraminifera show an adaptation to changing conditions within the different parts of the lagoon. In particular, the presence of Ammonia spp. and Haynesina depressula correlates with hypersaline waters, whilst Brizalina striatula characterizes the parts of the lagoon colonized by seagrass. Epifaunal species, such as Rosalina vilardeboana and Amphistegina spp. colonize hard substrata present at the transition between the lagoon and the open sea.  相似文献   

Varied impact of land use on water and sediment parameters in fish ponds of the Dombes agro-ecosystem,France

Abstract

Agricultural land use in the area of water bodies is generally considered to increase the nutrient status of the water body water and sediments, but is this also the case for already nutrient-rich fish ponds? We studied 83 fish ponds in the Dombes region, France, where 1100 ponds are located in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape. Different water and sediment parameters were analysed for ponds and in ditches after rainfall events. Land use was studied in the primary catchment of ponds and in a 100-m zone around ponds. Soil parameters of different land-use types were analysed and farmers interviewed about agricultural practices. Increasing cropping area in the catchment of the ponds is significantly correlated to higher PO₄ ^3- concentration of pond water and to a lower degree, also to NO₃ ^?, but only in certain years with higher rainfall and with a more uneven distribution in spring. Sediment parameters were not significantly influenced. High NO₃- concentration in the water of a ditch during significant rainfall events was found for a cropland dominated catchment.

Preface to the Special Issue on Summer 2020: Record Rainfall in Asia — Mechanisms,Predictability and Impacts     

Robin T.CLARK  Xiquan DONG  Chang-Hoi HO  Jianhua SUN  Huiling YUAN  Tetsuya TAKEMI 《大气科学进展》2021,38(12):1977-1979

Throughout vast areas of Asia, the summer of 2020 was extraordinarily wet. After an exceptionally wet May in North-east India and Bangladesh, excessive rainfall hit at least 10 provinces in central and southern China in June and July, caus-ing extensive flooding in many rural and urban locations. Long standing rainfall, lake and river level records were con-sequently broken in several parts of the region with the Yangtze-Huaihe river valleys, particularly badly impacted, with con-sequential economic losses. Floods and landslides also affected parts of Japan with at least one location in Kumamoto province even experiencing a record-breaking 1000 mm of rainfall in just 3 days in early July. The 2020 wet season in South Korea was also exceptionally long, lasting 54 days, compared to their more usual 32.  相似文献   

Searching for evidence of hydrothermal activity at Apollinaris Mons,Mars     

M. Ramy El Maarry  James M. Dohm  Giuseppe A. Marzo  Robin Fergason  Walter Goetz  Essam Heggy  Andreas Pack  Wojciech J. Markiewicz 《Icarus》2012,217(1):297-314

A multidisciplinary approach involving various remote sensing instruments is used to investigate Apollinaris Mons, a prominent volcano on Mars, as well as the surrounding plains for signs of prolonged hydrologic and volcanic, and possibly hydrothermal activity. The main findings include (1) evidence from laser altimetry indicating the large thickness (1.5–2 km at some locations) of the fan deposits draping the southern flank contrary to previous estimates, coupled with possible layering which point to a significant emplacement phase at Apollinaris Mons, (2) corroboration of Robinson et al. (Robinson, M.S., Mouginis-Mark, P.J., Zimbelman, J.R., Wu, S.S.C., Ablin, K.K., Howington-Kraus, A.E. [1993]. Icarus 104, 301–323) hypothesis regarding the formation of incised valleys on the western flanks by density current erosion which would indicate magma–water interaction or, alternatively, volatile-rich magmas early in the volcano’s history, (3) mounds of diverse geometric shapes, many of which display summit depressions and occur among faults and fractures, possibly marking venting, (4) strong indicators on the flanks of the volcano for lahar events, and possibly, a caldera lake, (5) ubiquitous presence of impact craters displaying fluidized ejecta in both shield-forming (flank and caldera) materials and materials that surround the volcano that are indicative of water-rich target materials at the time of impact, (6) long-term complex association in time among shield-forming materials and Medusae Fossae Formation.The findings point to a site of extensive volcanic and hydrologic activity with possibly a period of magma–water interaction and hydrothermal activity. Finally, we propose that the mound structures around Apollinaris should be prime targets for further in situ exploration and search for possible exobiological signatures.  相似文献   

Multidate image analysis of forest degradation in Equatorial Africa

Abstract

In this paper we process diachronic SPOT satellite images acquired with different viewing angles in order to assess the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) spatial distribution over Brescia.

This urban area, located in Northern Italy, is subject to frequent visibility‐reducing smog episodes. AOT was calculated by using the Differential Textural Analysis (DTA) code on a satellite data series consisting by one pollution‐free and various pollution‐loaded SPOT images. The resulting maps showed the horizontal distribution of AOT with a resolution of 500 metres. These maps can be readily integrated with the results obtained by mesoscale modelling, ground measurements, and respond to local scale application requirements. Satellite AOT retrieval compared successfully with available AOT ground‐based measurements and with pollution measurements in the ambient air. In this study the use of diachronic multiangle SPOT imagery allowed us to analyse the effect of the viewing angle variation on AOT retrieval accuracy based on the contrast reduction method.  相似文献
