A possible presence of HeH+ in white dwarfs     

V. P. Gaur  G. C. Joshi  M. C. Pande 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1992,197(1):57-60

The equivalent width calculations for the fundamental vibration rotation band lines of HeH⁺ have been carried out for a non-DA white dwarf model with an effective temperature of 12 000 K. BothP andR branch lines with rotational quantum numbersJ=3 to 18 were included in the calculations. A search for these lines in helium rich white dwarfs is suggested.  相似文献   

Extreme Rainfall Events and Associated Natural Hazards in Alaknanda Valley, Indian Himalayan Region   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

JOSHI Varun KUMAR Kireet 《山地科学学报》2006,3(3):228-236

Introduction The Himalaya is considered to be the youngest mountains on the earth, and is tectonically very active, and hence inherently (geologically) vulnerable to hazards. Extreme rainfall events, landslides, debris flows, torrents and flash floods due…  相似文献   

Deuterium on Venus: Model comparisons with pioneer Venus observations of the predawn bulge ionosphere     

Shailendra Kumar  Harry A. Taylor 《Icarus》1985,62(3):494-504

A model of the predawn bulge ionosphere composition and structure is constructed and compared with the ion mass spectrometer measurements from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter during orbits 117 and 120. Particular emphasis is given to the identification of the mass-2 ion which we find unequivocally due to D⁺ (and not H₂⁺). The atmospheric D/H ratio of 1.4% and 2.5% is obtained at the homopause (～ 130 km) for the two orbits. The H₂⁺ contribution to the mass-2 ion density is less than 10%, and the H₂ mixing ratio must be <0.1 ppm at 130 km altitude. The He⁺ data require a downward He⁺ flux of ～2 × 10⁷ cm^?2 sec^?1 in the predawn region which suggest that the light ions also flow across the terminator from day to night along with the observed O⁺ ion flow.  相似文献   

Electron impact polarization of resonance lines from Lithium-like ions     

Suresh Chandra  A. W. Joshi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,138(2):333-339

The Oppenheimer-Penney theory, as developed by Percival and Seaton (1958), is applied to calculate the polarization of resonance lines from Li-like ions. Two laws for the pitch-angle distribution of electrons around the magnetic field are accounted. The degrees of polarization are averaged over the energy of non-thermal electrons generated during the initial phase of solar flares. It is found that for the full space pitch-angle distribution, as adopted by Chandra and Joshi (1984), the degrees of polarization are nearly independent of the atomic number of ion. Whereas for the forward-come distribution used by Haug (1981), they depend on the choice of the free parameterE ₀. The polarization of the resonance lines from Li-like ions is two times larger than that of the L radiations from H-like ions. Hence, under favourable conditions, it may be detected during solar flares.  相似文献   

Free-convective flow of non-Newtonian fluid with heat sources     

Basant Kumar Jha 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1991,175(2):225-228

An analytical study is performed to examine the effects of temperature-dependent heat source on free-convective flow of non-Newtonian fluid (Walters's liquidB). The expression for the velocity field has been obtained by the Laplace transform technique. The influence of the various parameter entering into the problem is extensively discussed.  相似文献   

Spectrophotometric observations of delta Capricorni     

P. K. Srivastava  J. B. Srivastava  S. C. Joshi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1988,143(1):107-112

Spectrophotometric observations of the eclipsing binary system Capricorni, covering the wavelength interval 3300–7300 Å, have been presented. Comparison of the standard spectral scans of Cap with the spectral scans of the stars of known spectral types and luminosity classes taken from the Breger (1976) catalogue shows that, near the phase of secondary eclipse, Cap shows the spectral-luminosity type as A8-9III. This is in agreement with the photometric findings of Srivastava (1987b). H emission is not visible convincingly, however, some irregularities are apparent, at least in two scans, around the H region.  相似文献

B. B. Sanwal  B. S. Rautela  G. C. Joshi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1986,123(1):183-192

Four spectrograms of the cepheid Geminorum at different phases have been analysed for the determination of the abundances of various elements. The analysis shows that the atmosphere of Gem has an essentially solar composition.  相似文献   

Changing population concentration in India: a macro-regional scenario     

Kumar K  Taragi RC 《Population geography : a journal of the Association of Population Geographers of India》1986,8(1-2):58-63

There are great spatial variations in the distribution of the fast growing populations of India. About 70% of the 1981 population is concentrated in only 40% of the geographical area. Such a pattern of population concentration, with its spatio-temporal dimension, can be understood better if examined at the macro-regional level considering the physico-climatic and socio-economic diversity of the country. This is done by way of analyzing district level data for India as a whole and also for its various macro-regions. The study reveals that the Great Plains and Coastal Plains and Islands have a homogenous distribution and a higher population increase. The Deccan Plateau shows the most homogenous dispersion of population. The population is declining in the Northern Mountains and the Great Plains but accentuating in the Coastal Plains and Islands and the Deccan Plateau. The north and south of India are showing opposite trends in population concentration.  相似文献   

Spectrophotometric study of X Persei     

B. B. Sanwal  B. S. Rautela  S. C. Joshi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1985,110(2):301-309

The continuum energy distribution of the emission line star X Per (O9.5III-V) has been obtained in the wavelength range 340–710 nm and has been compared with the energy distribution of Cam in the same wavelength range. The continuum of the star is found to be modified by the circumstellar envelope. A number density of the order of 10¹¹ in the envelope has been obtained from the observations of H in emission.  相似文献   

Spherical variable-energy blast wave in self-gravitating gas     

Santosh Kumar 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1985,115(1):127-143

Modified similarity method has been used to study the propagation of spherical-variable energy blast waves through a self-gravitating gas. For an energy inputE =E ₀t^4/3, whereE is the energy released up to timet andE ₀ is a functional constant, the similarity solutions correct up to third approximation have been obtained. It is found that the effects of self-gravitational forces are of third order. An increase in the parameterA ² (characterising the gravitational field) increases the shock velocity.  相似文献
