The Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS)     

W. Aoki 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2014,335(1):27-31

The High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS) is the échelle spectrograph for an open‐use instrument of the Subaru Telescope. The current status of the instrument is reviewed. The new image slicers that significantly improve the efficiency of observations with very high resolving power have been installed in the past three years. Brief overview of recent science results is given on studies of early generations of stars and extra‐solar planets. An upgrade plan and future prospects of this instrument are discussed.

Global shearing modes of galactic disks     

Masanori Iye  Tatsuo Ueda  Masafumi Noguchi  Shinko Aoki 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1983,89(2):363-376

A new scheme has been devised to calculate discrete unstable global shearing spiral modes of gaseous disk models of galaxies. The scheme makes use of the Legendre expansion of eigen functions and the problem of stability analysis is reduced to an eigenvalue problem of an infinite matrix. The spiral patterns of these shearing wave solutions of linearized equations change their form in the course of time due to the differential rotation of the equilibrium disk. These shearing wave solutions are presumed to have intermediate characteristics between so-called density-waves and material arms. Comparison between these shearing modes and the non-shearing normal modes for a series of disk models is presented.  相似文献   

The definition of the ecliptic     

Hiroshi Kinoshita  Shinko Aoki 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1983,31(4):329-338

The ecliptic as a mean orbital plane of the Sun in Le Verrier's theory is a mean orbital plane determined from the secular parts of the longitude of the ascending node and the inclination of the Sun with respect to a reference plane. On the other hand, the ecliptic in Newcomb's theory is so chosen that the latitude with respect to his ecliptic does not have cosg nor sing whereg is the mean anomaly of the Sun. The two definitions are really different in spite of their apparent similarity. Standish (1981) defined the ecliptic from a kinematical point of view, and it is shown that the ecliptic defined by Standish (in the rotating sense) does coincide with the ecliptic defined by Newcomb.  相似文献   

Observation of hydrogen peroxide concentrations in a Japanese red pine forest     

Xuan Chen  Masatoshi Aoki  Shangxun Zhang  Jinhua Zhang  Susumu Nozoe  Daisuke Komori  Akinori Takami  Shiro Hatakeyama 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2008,60(1):37-49

In order to study the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and the factors controlling its concentrations, we monitored concentrations of H₂O₂ and other gases such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, and NO _x as well as meteorological factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, and wind direction/speed during eight measurement periods from 2000 to 2002 in a Japanese red pine forest in Japan. The H₂O₂ concentrations ranged from below 0.01 to 1.64 ppb, and analysis of the diurnal variation in H₂O₂ concentration showed high concentrations around noon, and low concentrations in the morning and late afternoon. The H₂O₂ concentrations were high in early summer, when O₃ concentration, temperature, and solar radiation were high, and were low in fall, when O₃ concentration, temperature, and solar radiation were low. We propose that O₃ concentration affects the production of H₂O₂ in the monitored region during the period under study, but that high H₂O₂ concentrations were sometimes caused by the transport of polluted air from urban regions. H₂O₂ concentrations decreased remarkably when SO₂ concentrations increased by transported volcanic emission on Miyake Island. In the absence of the effects of SO₂, H₂O₂ concentrations increased with increasing O₃ concentration and temperature.  相似文献   

The δ13C–δ18O variations in marble in the Hida Belt,Japan

Marble has a great potential to understand a history of various geological events occurring during tectonic processes. In order to decode metamorphic–metasomatic records on C–O isotope compositions of marble at mid-crustal conditions, we conducted a C–O–Sr isotope study on upper amphibolite-facies marbles and a carbonate–silicate rock from the Hida Belt, which was once a part of the crustal basement of the East Asian continental margin. Carbon and oxygen isotope analyses of calcite from marbles (Kamioka area) and a carbonate–silicate rock (Wadagawa area) show a large variation of δ¹³C [VPDB] and δ¹⁸O [VSMOW] values (from −4.4 to +4.2 ‰ and +1.6 to +20.8 ‰, respectively). The low δ¹³C values of calcites from the carbonate–silicate rock (from −4.4 to −2.9 ‰) can be explained by decarbonation (CO₂ releasing) reactions; carbon–oxygen isotope modeling suggests that a decrease of δ¹³C strongly depends on the amount of silicate reacting with carbonates. The occurrence of metamorphic clinopyroxene in marbles indicates that all samples have been affected by decarbonation reactions. All δ¹⁸O values of calcites are remarkably lower than the marine-carbonate values. The large δ¹⁸O variation can be explained by the isotope exchange via interactions between marble, external fluids, and/or silicates. Remarkably low δ¹⁸O values of marbles that are lower than mantle value (~+5 ‰) suggest the interaction with meteoric water at a later stage. Sr isotope ratios (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr = 0.707255–0.708220) might be close to their protolith values. One zircon associated with wollastonite in a marble thin-section yields a U–Pb age of 222 ± 3 Ma, which represents the timing of the recrystallization of marble, triggered by H₂O-rich fluid infiltration at a relatively high-temperature condition. Our isotope study implies that the upper amphibolite-facies condition, like the Hida Belt, might be appropriate to cause decarbonation reactions which can modify original isotope compositions of marble if carbonates react with silicates.  相似文献   

High-frequency ocean radar derived characteristics of sea surface currents in the Ariake Sea,Japan     

Kazuhiro Aoki  Tomoya Kataoka 《Journal of Oceanography》2018,74(4):431-437

Composite analysis was conducted using high-frequency radar data obtained during 2006–2015 in order to gain a better understanding of the current field in the Ariake Sea. The seasonally averaged surface current in the Ariake Sea was directed southward in all seasons, except around river mouths during summer. Heavy rainfall enhanced the outflow along the eastern coast of the Shimabara Peninsula from Isahaya Bay to the southern area 2–5 days after heavy rainfall. Spring–neap differences were clearly seen in the southward current along the Shimabara Peninsula. Interannual variation in the M₂ tidal current amplitude was synchronized with the lunar nodal cycle.  相似文献   

Temperature measurements of electrostatic shocks in?laser-produced counter-streaming plasmas

Collisionless shocks in counter-streaming plasmas, created by the high-power laser system Gekko XII HIPER, are investigated. The shock structure and density are measured by optical diagnostics such as shadowgraphy, interferometry, and streaked interferometry. The plasma density and temperature are estimated from self-emission measurements with visible light by streaked optical pyrometer and gated optical imager. Brightness temperatures are calculated considering the efficiency of the detectors, and electron temperatures are estimated.  相似文献   

Effect of Wind and Rainfall on Water Exchange in a Stratified Estuary     

Jin-Hee Yuk  Shin-ichi Aoki 《Estuaries and Coasts》2009,32(1):88-99

This study was conducted to estimate the horizontal and vertical exchange of water in response to meteorological effects in Inohana Lake, Japan. To examine the horizontal water flow between Hamana and Inohana Lakes while monitoring horizontal and vertical exchanges of water within the lake, we determined the current velocity, salinity, and water density in the field. We performed regression analysis of the relationship between meteorological factors such as wind and rain and the horizontal water flow between the two lakes. This information was then used to construct a simple box model to estimate the average water exchange and evaluate the meteorological effect based on the average salinity and river discharge. These results revealed that the surface water-volume flux in the channel was heavily influenced by the north–south wind intensity. These findings indicate that a box model is capable of providing a good estimate of the summer-averaged water flow and the exchange rate that is influenced by wind and rain.  相似文献
