Propagation of Extremely Low Frequency Waves Through the Ionosphere     

Singh  Ashok K.  Narayan  D.  Singh  R. P. 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》2002,91(3):161-179

The propagation features of extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves through the multicomponent ionospheric plasma are studied. It is shown that at relatively lower frequencies refractive index for right hand mode is higher than the left-hand mode, which is reversed at higher frequencies. The thermal temperature of plasma particle causes decrease in phase and group velocities of both right and left-hand modes. The crossover frequencies for different plasma models are computed and variation with ion concentration and thermal velocity is studied. Explicit expression for group velocity and travel time has been derived and studied numerically. Finally, we have presented simulation of the ion whistler spectrograms for Hydrogen, Helium and Oxygen ions present in the ionospheric plasma. The results are compared with the experimentally detected hydrogen and helium ion whistlers. The importance of the present study in the exploration of ionospheric plasma is illustrated.  相似文献   

Multiplicity of numerical solutions for slope stability problems     

Ashok K. Chugh 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》1981,5(3):313-322

Existence of more than one numerical solution to the slope stability equations derived on the basis of force and moment equilibrium requirements of statistics is indicated. These solutions satisfy the boundary conditions at both ends of a potential slide mass. In the particular case considered, the details of the calculated response for the slices for each solution set assist the designer in selecting the more reasonable solution to the problem.  相似文献   

Estimating Variances of Horizontal Wind Fluctuations in Stable Conditions     

Ashok K. Luhar 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2010,135(2):301-311

Information concerning the average wind speed and the variances of lateral and longitudinal wind velocity fluctuations is required by dispersion models to characterise turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. When the winds are weak, the scalar average wind speed and the vector average wind speed need to be clearly distinguished and both lateral and longitudinal wind velocity fluctuations assume equal importance in dispersion calculations. We examine commonly-used methods of estimating these variances from wind-speed and wind-direction statistics measured separately, for example, by a cup anemometer and a wind vane, and evaluate the implied relationship between the scalar and vector wind speeds, using measurements taken under low-wind stable conditions. We highlight several inconsistencies inherent in the existing formulations and show that the widely-used assumption that the lateral velocity variance is equal to the longitudinal velocity variance is not necessarily true. We derive improved relations for the two variances, and although data under stable stratification are considered for comparison, our analysis is applicable more generally.  相似文献   

Detection and evolution of the CO (Δv= 2) emission in Nova V2615 Ophiuchi (2007)     

R. K. Das  D. P. K. Banerjee  N. M. Ashok 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,398(1):375-384

We present near-infrared (1–2.5 μm) spectroscopic and photometric results of Nova V2615 Ophiuchi which was discovered in outburst in 2007 March. Our observations span a period of ∼80 d starting from 2007 March 28 when the nova was at its maximum light. The evolution of the spectra is shown from the initial P Cygni phase to an emission-line phase and finally to a dust formation stage. The characteristics of the JHK spectra are very similar to those observed in a nova outburst occurring on a carbon–oxygen white dwarf. We analyse an observed line at 2.088 μm and suggest that it could be due to Fe  ii excited by Lyman α fluorescence. The highlight of the observations is the detection of the first overtone bands of carbon monoxide (CO) in the 2.29–2.40 μm region. The CO bands are modelled to estimate the temperature and mass of the emitting CO gas and also to place limits on the ¹²C/¹³C ratio. The CO bands are recorded over several epochs, thereby allowing a rare opportunity to study the evolution from a phase of constant strength through a stage when the CO is destroyed fairly rapidly. We compare the observed time-scales involved in the evolution of the CO emission and find a good agreement with model predictions that investigate the chemistry in a nova outflow during the early stages.  相似文献

Granulometric analysis of glacial sediments,Schirmacher Oasis,East Antarctica     

Ashok K. Srivastava  Neloy Khare 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2009,73(5):609-620

Granulometric analysis of nineteen sediment samples has been carried out for their statistical and textural parameters. The samples are collected from the northern and southern margins of Schirmacher Oasis extending below the polar ice sheet and grading to coastal area respectively and main rocky land of Schirmacher including lakes. The analysis shows that most of the sediments are of medium grain size and fall in poor to very poor sorted category. An attempt has been made to interpret the depositional set-up by plotting the scatter patterns between various textural parameters, including C-M plot and arithmetic log-probability curves. The influence of physical parameters viz. low to high velocity winds, ice and meltwater on sediment characteristics has been discussed.  相似文献   

High Energy Emissions from Young Stellar Objects     

A. C. Das  Ashok Ambastha 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》2012,33(1):1-8

X-ray emissions from Young Stellar Objects (YSO) are detected by many X-ray missions that are providing important information about their properties. However, their emission processes are not fully understood. In this research note, we propose a model for the generation of emissions from a YSO on the basis of a simple interaction between the YSO and its surrounding circumstellar accretion disc containing neutral gas and charged dust. It is assumed that the YSO has a weak dipole type magnetic field and its field lines are threaded into the circumstellar disc. Considering the motion of ions and charged dust particles in the presence of neutral gas, we show that the sheared dust-neutral gas velocities can lead to a current along the direction of ambient magnetic field. Magnitude of this current can become large and is capable of generating an electric field along the magnetic field lines. It is shown how the particles can gain energy up to MeV range and above, which can produce high-energy radiations from the YSO.  相似文献   

Magnetic and velocity field variations in the active regions NOAA 10486 and NOAA 10488     

Ram Ajor Maurya  Ashok Ambastha 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》2008,29(1-2):103-105

We study the magnetic and velocity field evolution in the two magnetically complex active regions NOAA 10486 and NOAA 10488 observed during October–November 2003. We have used the available data to examine net flux and Doppler velocity time profiles to identify changes associated with evolutionary and transient phenomena. In particular, we report detection of rapid moving features observed in NOAA 10486 during the maximum phase of the X17.2/4B superflare of October 28, 2003. The velocity of this moving feature is estimated around 40 km/s, i.e., much greater than the usual Hα flare-ribbons’ separation speed of 3–10 km/s, but similar to the velocity of seismic waves, i.e., ～ 45 km/s reported earlier by Kosovichev & Zharkova (1998).  相似文献   

Hα intensity oscillations in large flares     

Ram Ajor Maurya  Ashok Ambastha 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》2008,29(1-2):249-252

We reinvestigate the problem of Hα intensity oscillations in large flares, particularly those classified as X-class flares. We have used high spatial and temporal resolution digital observations obtained from Udaipur Solar Observatory during the period 1998–2006 and selected several events. Normalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram method for spectral analysis was used to study the oscillatory power in quiet and active chromospheric locations, including the flare ribbons.  相似文献
