Spectrophotometry of a Galaxy with UV-excess     

M. A. Kazaryan  E. L. Karapetyan 《Astrophysics》1995,38(2):133-136

We present the results of a spectral study of Galaxy No. 47 of the list [1]. We determine the equivalent widths of the lines for the compact part of the galaxy and the relative intensities for both the compact part and the halo. We estimate the mass of the galaxy from the inclination of the H line. We obtain the electron density and the mass of the gas component of the compact part of the galaxy.Translated fromAstrofizika, Vol. 38, No. 2, 1995.  相似文献   

TVZHR profile for the 1991 Perseid shower     

R. L. Hawkes  D. E. B. Fleming 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1995,68(1-3):303-310

Image intensified video detection systems were used to observe the 1991 Perseid meteor shower from two locations in eastern Canada. In 29.6 hours of total observing time a total of 668 meteors were detected, of which 403 were Perseids. We derived a profile of TVZHR (television zenithal hourly rate) values for the 1991 Perseid shower over the solar longitude (epoch 2000) interval 138°51 to 141°01. The apparent limiting stellar magnitudes of the observing systems were +9.4 and +8.8 (corresponding to limiting meteor magnitudes for our geometry ranging from +8.7 to +7.0). Within the observing period, the maximum TVZHR rate was approximately 1600, and occurred at solar longitude 139.9°. This is in good agreement with the second peak observed by visual observers. The data suggest that TVZHR values should be divided by a factor of approximately 5 to compare TVZHR and ZHR values.  相似文献   

The geography of dual career households: a research agenda and selected evidence from secondary data sources for Britain     

Green AE 《International journal of population geography : IJPG》1995,1(1):29-50

"Amongst the key dimensions of population and labour market change in most parts of western Europe and other similar economies in the 1990s are low fertility rates, rising numbers of smaller households, increasing female participation rates, growth in higher level non-manual occupations and the spread of flexible employment patterns. This paper explores how these trends have led to an increase in the number and significance of one particular subgroup: dual career households. An overview from available secondary sources of the geography and socio-economic characteristics of such households in Britain is presented, and directions for possible future research on dual career households are outlined."  相似文献   

Thinking of England and taking care: family building strategies and infant mortality in England and Wales, 1891-1911     

Garrett E  Reid A 《International journal of population geography : IJPG》1995,1(1):69-102

"Debates concerning the origins and development of the late nineteenth- to early twentieth-century declines in marital fertility and infant mortality in England and Wales have been centred largely on the material provided by answers to the ?special' questions in the 1911 census. In their published form these figures have restricted researchers to an examination of large scale geographic and social class differences in the levels and rates of decline of the two phenomena. This paper outlines research conducted on a sample of individual census returns from the 1911 census. From this data it becomes clear that for Victorian and Edwardian England ?where one lived' was rather more important than ?who one was' in determining both family building strategies and the survival of those children born."  相似文献

The densest prestellar condensations: H2CO Studies ofρ Oph B1     

M. Barsony  D. Sasselov  S. Rucinski  E. Bloemhof  L. -A. Nyman 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,233(1-2):51-54

We present new images of the well-known molecular outflow and Herbig-Haro complex L 1551-IRS 5. Deep, high-resolution images of the central region of the flow in [SII] 6716,6731 and H (6565 Å) are complemented by a mosaic of much of the CO outflow in H₂ v=1-0 S(1). While the optical data trace the intermediate-to-high excitation shocks in the flow (v _shock > 30 – 50 km s^–1), the near-IR data reveal the lower-excitation, molecular shocks (v _shock 10–50 km s^–1). In particular, the H₂ data highlight the regions where the flow impacts and shocks ambient molecular gas.  相似文献   

Fitting matrix-valued variogram models by simultaneous diagonalization (Part I: Theory)     

Tailiang Xie  Donald E. Myers 《Mathematical Geosciences》1995,27(7):867-875

Suppose that ¯(x₁),...,¯Z(x_n). are observations of vector-valued random function ¯(x). In the isotropic situation, the sample variogram γ^*(h) for a given lag h is $$\bar \gamma ^ * (h) = \frac{1}{{2N(h)}}\mathop \sum \limits_{s(h)} (\overline Z (x_1 ) - \overline Z (x_1 )) \overline {(Z} (x_1 ) - \overline Z (x_1 ))^T $$ where s(h) is a set of paired points with distance h and N(h) is the number of pairs in s(h).. For a selection of lags h₁, h₂, .... h_k such that N (h₁) > O. we obtain a ktuple of (semi) positive definite matrices $\bar \gamma ^ * (h_{ 1} ),. . . ., \bar \gamma ^ * (h_{ k} )$ . We want to determine an orthonormal matrix B which simultaneously diagonalizes the $\bar \gamma ^ * (h_{ 1} ),. . . ., \bar \gamma ^ * (h_{ k} )$ or nearly diagonalizes them in the sense that the sum of squares of offdiagonal elements is small compared to the sum of squares of diagonal elements. If such a B exists, we linearly transform $\overline Z (x)$ by $\overline Y (x) = B\overline Z (x)$ . Then, the resulting vector function $\overline Y (x)$ has less spatial correlation among its components than $\overline Z (x)$ does. The components of $\overline Y (x)$ with little contribution to the variogram structure may be dropped, and small crossvariograms fitted by straightlines. Variogram models obtained by this scheme preserve the negative definiteness property of variograms (in the matrix-valued function sense). A simplified analysis and computation in cokriging can be carried out. The principles of this scheme arc presented in this paper.  相似文献   

Ejection from pulsars in binary systems     

V. M. Lipunov  M. E. Prokhorov 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1984,98(2):221-236

Interaction of an ejecting pulsar in a binary with a matter surrounding it is considered. Around the pulsar a cavern is formed, and its shape calculated. Non-stationary regime of floating caverns filled with binary radioemission is discussed. This regime can lead to a special radio-burster. It is noticed that in binaries with rather large separation between components a pulsed radioemission from a pulsar can be observable. In this case, the pulsar will be a fine probe for exploration of physical characteristics of a stellar wind from a normal expansion.  相似文献   

High-resolution photography of the solar chromosphere     

R. E. Loughhead  Chen Chuan-Le  Wang Jia-Long 《Solar physics》1984,92(1-2):53-65

A method is described for reconstructing the true geometry of a solar loop observed on the disk which takes account of tilt in its own plane. Reconstructions of three H loops yield small tilt angles (14°) and provide further evidence that H loops show a close correspondence to the field lines of a magnetic dipole. The method offers new opportunities for exploring the physics of individual solar loops.  相似文献   

Oscillations of the Hα emission in solar prominences     

E. Wiehr  G. Stellmacher  H. Balthasar 《Solar physics》1984,94(2):285-288

The time dependence of Doppler shift and line-center intensity is simultaneously observed for the H emission of three solar prominences, each one during about two hours. Doppler oscillations with periods near one hour and amplitudes between 1 and 2 km s^–1 are conspicuously visible in the recordings of all three prominences. Fourier analysis yields periods of 50, 60, and 64 min, as well as slight indications of short periods near 3 and 5 min. No oscillations are found in the line-center brightness.  相似文献
