Mass models of the Milky Way     

Walter Dehnen  & James Binney 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1998,294(3):429-438

A parametrized model of the mass distribution within the Milky Way is fitted to the available observational constraints. The most important single parameter is the ratio of the scalelength R _d* of the stellar disc to R ₀. The disc and bulge dominate v _c( R ) at R ≲ R ₀ only for R _d,*/ R ₀≲0.3. Since the only knowledge we have of the halo derives from studies like the present one, we allow it to contribute to the density at all radii. When allowed this freedom, however, the halo causes changes in assumptions relating to R  ≪  R ₀ to affect profoundly the structure of the best-fitting model at R  ≫  R ₀. For example, changing the disc slightly from an exponential surface-density profile significantly changes the form of v _c( R ) at R  ≫  R ₀, where the disc makes a negligible contribution to v _c. Moreover, minor changes in the constraints can cause the halo to develop a deep hole at its centre that is not physically plausible. These problems call into question the proposition that flat rotation curves arise because galaxies have physically distinct haloes rather than outwards-increasing mass-to-light ratios.   The mass distribution of the Galaxy and the relative importance of its various components will remain very uncertain until more observational data can be used to constrain mass models. Data that constrain the Galactic force field at z ≳ R and at R  >  R ₀ are especially important.  相似文献

Wegeners „Kontinentverschiebungen“ zu seiner Zeit und heute     

Prof. Dr. Walter Kertz 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1981,70(1):15-32

Zusammenfassung Ausgangspunkt der Wegenerschen Theorie war der unmittelbare Eindruck von der Kongruenz der atlantischen Küsten. Das eigentliche Fundament bildeten jedoch die Argumente aus Paläontologie, Geophysik, Geologie, Paläoklimatologie und Astrogeodäsie. Wegener war nicht nur der Schöpfer, sondern auch der Propagandist seiner Theorie. Von bleibendem Wert erwiesen sich seine Forderungen: Jede Theorie der Entstehung der Ozeane und Kontinente muß von allen geowissenschaftlichen Disziplinen getragen werden und sie muß sich durch Messungen bestätigen lassen.

The starting-point of Wegener's theory was the direct impression of the congruity of the Atlantic coastlines. The fundamental principle, however, is formed by the argumentation of paleontology, geophysics, geology, paleoclimatology and astrogeodesy. Wegener was not only the creator of his theory but he also propagated it. His demands proved to be of lasting value: every theory of the origin of oceans and continents has to be supported by all geosciences and it should be possible to be verified by physical measurements.

Resume Le point de départ de la théorie de Wegener fut l'impression immédiate de la concordance des côtes atlantiques. Les bases véritables furent les arguments tirés de la Paléontologie, de la Géophysique, de la Géologie, de la Paléoclimatologie et de l'Astrogéodésie. Wegener fut non pas seulement le créateur de sa théorie, mais encore son propagandiste. Sa démarche reste valable d'une théorie de la genèse des continents et des océans qui soit étayée part toutes les sciences de la terre et verifée par des mesures physiques.

The origin of high-amplitude magnetic anomalies at the intersection of the Juan de Fuca ridge and Blanco fracture zone     

Robert S. Detrick  Walter S. Lynn 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1975,26(1):105-113

The intersection of the Juan de Fuca ridge and Blanco fracture zone is characterized by unusually high amplitude magnetic anomalies (over 1500 nT) which appear to be associated with a body roughly 50 km in length and 20 km in width aligned along the fracture zone. Simple three-dimensional magnetic models indicate that this anomaly is probably caused by a highly magnetized block of material situated in the western end of the Blanco fracture zone near its intersection with the Juan de Fuca ridge. Rock magnetization studies of tholeiitic basalts dredged from this area confirm the presence of highly magnetized basalts near the ridge crest/transform fault intersection. These tholeiitic basalts are enriched in iron and titanium relative to “normal” oceanic tholeiites, apparently the result of extensive shallow fractionation involving olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene. Magnetic model studies indicate that an average thickness of no more than 500 m of these iron-rich basalts is necessary to produce the observed anomaly pattern. Comparison of these basalts with samples previously dredged from the Juan de Fuca ridge crest suggests that these Fe-rich, highly magnetized basalts probably “leaked” out of the southernmost portion of the Juan de Fuca ridge.  相似文献   

Zur Stratigraphie,Petrologie und Genese einer Bentonit-Lage aus dem oberen Mittel-Turon (Oberkreide) des südöstlichen Münsterlandes     

Dr. Ekbert Seibertz  Dr. Walter Vortisch 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1979,68(2):649-679

Zusammenfassung Die Bentonit-Lage kann möglicherweise mit der Lage M₆₈ aus dem Turon von Lüneburg (Norddeutschland) korreliert werden. Identifiziert wurden vulkanische Glasfragmente, Quarz, Na-, K-Feldspat, Oligoklas, Biotit, Muskovit, Calcit, Schwerminerale (u. a. Olivin, Hornblende) und Tonminerale (Kaolinit, Illit, mixed-layer Illit/Smektit, FeBeidellit - z. T. in großen Aggregaten). Die vulkanoklastischen Gläser zeigen alle Übergänge von intakt zu völlig devitriert. Mit Hilfe der Elektronenstrahl-Mikrosonde konnten, bei Berücksichtigung der Kathoden-Lumineszenz, die Feldspäte chemisch analysiert und genetisch in solche mit niedrigerer und solche mit höherer (vulkanoklastisch) Bildungstemperatur gegliedert werden. Von den Schwermineralen dürften vor allem Olivin und Hornblende vulkanogener Herkunft sein. Untersuchungen der durch Umwandlung vulkanischen Materials entstandenen kompakten Smektit-Aggregate mittels Mikrosonde, Röntgendiffraktometrie und Mössbauer-Spektroskopie zeigten, daß es sich hier um ein AI-reiches Glied der Mischungsreihe Nontronit-Beidellit (Fe-reicher Beidellit) handelt. Differentialthermoanalytische Untersuchungen ergaben für Fe-reiche, dioktaedrische, smektitische Tonminerale typische Kurven. Das Ausgangsmaterial des Bentonits war intermediär bis basisch. Äolischer oder kombiniert äolischer und mariner Transport von Exhalationspunkten im mitteleuropäischen Raum werden diskutiert.

The bentonite can probably be correlated with horizon M₆₈ in the Turonian of Lüneburg in northern Germany. Volcanic glass fragments, quartz, Na and K feldspars, oligoclase, biotite, muscovite, calcite, heavy minerals (i. a. olivine, hornblende) and clay minerals (kaolinite, illite, mixed-layer illite/smectite and Fe-beidellite) were identified. The glass shows a spectrum of all states from unaltered to completely devitrified. Analysis of feldspars by means of electron microprobe and cathodo-luminescence has allowed to divide them into genetically high (pyroclastic) and low temperature forms. Of the heavy minerals, olivine and hornblende most clearly are of volcanic origin. Examinations of smectite aggregates (alteration products of volcanic material) by electron microprobe, x-ray diffractometry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of a member of the continuous series nontronite-beidellite (Fe-rich beidellite). Differential thermal analysis gave typical curves for dioctahedral Fe-rich smectites. The chemical composition of the original material of the bentonite was intermediate to basic. Eolian or eolian and marine current transport from sources in central Europe are considered.

Résumé La couche de bentonite peut probablement être corrélée avec la couche M₆₈ du Turonien de Lunebourg (au nord de l'Allemagne). Des fragments de verre volcanique, du quartz, du feldspath sodique, du feldspath potassique, de l'oligoclase de la biotite, de la muscovite, de la calcite, des minéraux lourds (p. ex. olivine, hornblende) et des minéraux argileux (kaolinite, illite, mixed-layer illite/smectite, beidellite ferreux — en partie en grands agrégates) ont été identifiés. Les verres pyroclastiques montrent tous les passages du verre intact jusqu'au verre entièrement dévitrifié. A l'aide de la microsonde électronique et en prenant en considération la cathodoluminescence, les feldspaths pouvaient être analysés chimiquement et ordonnés génétiquement selon leur température de formation. Ceux à haute temperature de formation sont pyroclastiques. Parmi les minéraux lourds pouvaient avant tout être d'origine volcanogène, l'olivine et la hornblende. Les études des agrégats de smectites compacts formés par la transformation de matériaux volcaniques montrent grâce à la microsonde, la diffractométrie X et de la spectrométrie de Mössbauer qu'il s'agit dans ce cas là d'un membre riche en Al de la série des mélanges nontronite-beidellite (beidellite ferreux). Des analyses thermiques différentielles donnèrent des courbes typiques pour les minéraux argileux smectitiques, dioctaédriques et riches en Fe. La matière de base de la bentonite était intermédiaire à basique. Transport éolien ou transport combiné, éolien et marin des points d'exhalation dans l'espace européen central seront dicutés.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Recent lake sediments—I. Compounds having anthropogenic origins     

Stuart G. Wakeham  Christian Schaffner  Walter Giger 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1980,44(3):403-413

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in sediment cores from Lake Lucerne, Lake Zürich, and Greifensee, Switzerland, and Lake Washington, northwest U.S.A., have been isolated, identified and quantified by glass capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Surface sediment layers are greatly enriched in PAH—up to 40 times—compared to deeper layers. In addition, concentration increases in upper sediments generally correspond to increasing industrialization and urbanization in the catchment basins of the lakes. Few PAH could be detected in pre-industrial revolution sediments, indicating that background levels for most PAH in aquatic sediments are extremely low.These results are consistent with an anthropogenic source for most of the aromatic hydrocarbons present in the modern sediments. A comparison of PAH distributions in the sediments and in possible source materials shows that urban runoff of street dust may be the most important PAH input to these lacustrine sediments. There is evidence that a significant contribution to the PAH content of street dust comes from material associated with asphalt.  相似文献

Growth rates of manganese nodules in Oneida Lake,New York     

Willard S. Moore  Walter E. Dean  S. Krishnaswami  D.V. Borole 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1980,46(2):191-200

²²⁶Ra is used to document the growth histories of six manganese nodules from Oneida Lake, New York. Detailed sectioning and analysis reveal that there are discontinuous gradients in²²⁶Ra content in these samples. These gradients result from periods of rapid growth (>1 mm/100 years) separated by periods of no growth of erosion. Although the²²⁶Ra “age” of the nodules approximates the age of Oneida Lake, the nodules are not sediment-covered because they occur only in areas of the lake where fine-grained sediments are not accumulating.  相似文献   

An assessment of the use of stabilized coal and oil ash for construction of artificial fishing reefs: Comparison of fishes observed on small ash and concrete reefs   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Frederic E. Vose  Walter G. Nelson   《Marine pollution bulletin》1998,36(12):980-988

Fishes present on small artificial reefs located 2 km off the central east coast of Florida (USA) were surveyed to determine the acceptability of using stabilized oil and coal ash residue as a component material in construction of artificial fishing reefs. Species richness was not significantly different over 2.5 yr on stabilized oil and coal ash reefs compared to concrete control reefs. Of 19 species tested for significant differences in mean abundance, lane snapper was observed at significantly higher mean abundances on fossil-fuel ash reefs (stabilized oil ash/coal fly ash), while three reef species (hairy blenny, porkfish and gray snapper) were significantly more common on concrete control reefs. Further study is needed to determine whether contaminants (Cu, V, Ni and Zn) from stabilized ash blocks can cause abundance differences for some fishes. Plausible alternate explanations for the differences in mean abundance include both interspecific interactions (competition and predation) and differences in the attraction or retention of fish among reef replicates due to slight variations in reef dimensions.  相似文献   

Distribution and source of tar on the Pacific Ocean     

C.S Wong  David R Green  Walter J Cretney 《Marine pollution bulletin》1976,7(6):102-106

Petroleum residues, or tar lumps, are concentrated in the northwestern portion of the Pacific Ocean, particularly in the Kuroshio current system. The source of the tar appears to be tank washings from tankers on the very large Middle East to Japan route. Tar pollutants apparently are discharged by tankers south of Japan, become entrained in the Kuroshio current, and create a plume of contamination which extends downstream for 7000 km across the Pacific.  相似文献
