The main scope of this research is to assess the ultimate accuracy that can be achieved for the slant total electron content
(sTEC) estimated from dual-frequency global positioning system (GPS) observations which depends, primarily, on the calibration
of the inter-frequency biases (IFB). Two different calibration approaches are analyzed: the so-called satellite-by-satellite
one, which involves levelling the carrier-phase to the code-delay GPS observations and then the IFB estimation; and the so-called
arc-by-arc one, which avoids the use of code-delay observations but requires the estimation of arc-dependent biases. Two strategies
are used for the analysis: the first one compares calibrated sTEC from two co-located GPS receivers that serve to assess the
levelling errors; and the second one, assesses the model error using synthetic data free of calibration error, produced with
a specially developed technique. The results show that the arc-by-arc calibration technique performs better than the satellite-by-satellite
one for mid-latitudes, while the opposite happens for low-latitudes. 相似文献

This paper presents a technique for ingesting ground- and space-based dual-frequency GPS observations into a semi-empirical
global electron density model. The NeQuick-2 model is used as the basis for describing the global electron density distribution.
This model is mainly driven by the F2 ionosphere layer parameters (i.e. the electron density, N
m
F2, and the height, h
m
F2 of the F2 peak), which, in the absence of directly measured values, are computed from the ITU-R database (ITU-R 1997). This database was established using observations collected from 1954 to 1958 by a network of around 150 ionospheric sounders
with uneven global coverage. It allows computing monthly median values of N
m
F2 and h
m
F2 (intra-month variations are averaged), for low and high solar activity. For intermediate solar activity a linear interpolation
must be performed. Ground-based GNSS observations from a global network of ~350 receivers are pre-processed in order to retrieve
slant total electron content (sTEC) information, and space-based GPS observations (radio occultation data from the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC
constellation) are pre-processed to retrieve electron density (ED) information. Both, sTEC and ED are ingested into the NeQuick-2
model in order to adapt N
m
F2 and h
m
F2, and reduce simultaneously both, the observed minus computed sTEC and ED differences. The first experimental results presented
in this paper suggest that the data ingestion technique is self consistent and able to reduce the observed minus computed
sTEC and ED differences to ~25–30% of the values computed from the ITU-R database. Although sTEC and ED are both derived from
GPS observations, independent algorithm and models are used to compute their values from ground-based GPS observations and
space-based FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC radio occultations. This fact encourages us to pursue this research with the aim to improve
the results presented here and assess their accuracy in a reliable way. 相似文献

We have performed N -body numerical simulations of the exchange of angular momentum between a massive planet and a 3D Keplerian disc of planetesimals. Our interest is directed at the study of the classical analytical expressions of the lineal theory of density waves, as representative of the dynamical friction in discs 'dominated by the planet' and the orbital migration of the planets with regard to this effect. By means of a numerical integration of the equations of motion, we have carried out a set of numerical experiments with a large number of particles ( N ≥10 000) , and planets with the mass of Jupiter, Saturn and one core mass of the giant planets in the Solar system ( M c =10 M⊕ ) . The torque, measured in a phase in which a 'steady forcing' is clearly measurable, yields inward migration in a minimum-mass solar disc (Σ∼10 g cm-2 ), with a characteristic drift time of ∼ a few 106 yr. The planets predate the disc, but the orbital decay rate is not sufficient to allow accretion in a time-scale relevant to the formation of giant planets. We found reductions of the measured torque on the planet, with respect to the linear theory, by a factor of 0.38 for M c , 0.04 for Saturn and 0.01 for Jupiter, due to the increase in the perturbation on the disc. The behaviour of planets whose mass is larger than M c is similar to the one of type II migrators in gaseous discs. Our results suggest that, in a minimum mass, solar planetesimals disc, type I migrations occur for masses smaller than M c , whereas for this mass value it could be a transition zone between the two types of migration. 相似文献

We compute the growth of isolated gaseous giant planets for several values of the density of the protoplanetary disk, several distances from the central star and two values for the (fixed) radii of accreted planetesimals. Calculations were performed in the frame of the core instability mechanism and the solids accretion rate adopted is that corresponding to the oligarchic growth regime. We find that for massive disks and/or for protoplanets far from the star and/or for large planetesimals, the planetary growth occurs smoothly. However, notably, there are some cases for which we find an envelope instability in which the planet exchanges gas with the surrounding protoplanetary nebula. The timescale of this instability shows that it is associated with the process of planetesimals accretion. The presence of this instability makes it more difficult the formation of gaseous giant planets. 相似文献

In this paper we present a new semianalytical model of oligarchic growth of planets considering a distribution of planetesimal sizes, fragmentation of planetesimals in mutual collisions, sublimation of ices through the snow line, random velocities out of equilibrium and merging of planetary embryos. We show that the presence of several planetary embryos growing simultaneously at different locations in the protoplanetary disk affects the whole accretion history, specially for the innermost planets. The results presented here clearly indicate the relevance of considering a distribution of planetesimal sizes. Fragmentation occurring during planetesimal-planetesimal collisions represent only a marginal effect in shaping the surface density of solid material in the protoplanetary disc. 相似文献

We explore the cross section of giant planet envelopes at capturing planetesimals of different sizes. For this purpose we employ two sets of realistic planetary envelope models (computed assuming for the protoplanetary nebula masses of 10 and 5 times the mass of the minimum mass solar nebula), account for drag and ablation effects and study the trajectories along which planetesimals move. The core accretion of these models has been computed in the oligarchic growth regime [Fortier, A., Benvenuto, O.G., Brunini, A., 2007. Astron. Astrophys. 473, 311-322], which has also been considered for the velocities of the incoming planetesimals. This regime predicts velocities larger that those used in previous studies of this problem. As the rate of ablation is dependent on the third power of velocity, ablation is more important in the oligarchic growth regime. We compute energy and mass deposition, fractional ablated masses and the total cross section of planets for a wide range of values of the critical parameter of ablation. In computing the total cross section of the planet we have included the contributions due to mass deposited by planetesimals moving along unbound orbits. Our results indicate that, for the case of small planetary cores and low velocities for the incoming planetesimals, ablation has a negligible impact on the capture cross section in agreement with the results presented in Inaba and Ikoma [Inaba, S., Ikoma, M., 2003. Astron. Astrophys. 410, 711-723]. However for the case of larger cores and high velocities of the incoming planetesimals as predicted by the oligarchic growth regime, we find that ablation is important in determining the planetary cross section, being several times larger than the value corresponding ignoring ablation. This is so regardless of the size of the incoming planetesimals. 相似文献

We analyze the dynamical evolution of Jupiter-family (JF) comets and near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) with aphelion distances Q>3.5 AU, paying special attention to the problem of mixing of both populations, such that inactive comets may be disguised as NEAs. From numerical integrations for 2×106 years we find that the half lifetime (where the lifetime is defined against hyperbolic ejection or collision with the Sun or the planets) of near-Earth JF comets (perihelion distances q<1.3 AU) is about 1.5×105 years but that they spend only a small fraction of this time (∼ a few 103 years) with q<1.3 AU. From numerical integrations for 5×106 years we find that the half lifetime of NEAs in “cometary” orbits (defined as those with aphelion distances Q>4.5 AU, i.e., that approach or cross Jupiter's orbit) is 4.2×105 years, i.e., about three times longer than that for near-Earth JF comets. We also analyze the problem of decoupling JF comets from Jupiter to produce Encke-type comets. To this end we simulate the dynamical evolution of the sample of observed JF comets with the inclusion of nongravitational forces. While decoupling occurs very seldom when a purely gravitational motion is considered, the action of nongravitational forces (as strong as or greater than those acting on Encke) can produce a few Enckes. Furthermore, a few JF comets are transferred to low-eccentricity orbits entirely within the main asteroid belt (Q<4 AU and q>2 AU). The population of NEAs in cometary orbits is found to be adequately replenished with NEAs of smaller Q's diffusing outward, from which we can set an upper limit of ∼20% for the putative component of deactivated JF comets needed to maintain such a population in steady state. From this analysis, the upper limit for the average time that a JF comet in near-Earth orbit can spend as a dormant, asteroid-looking body can be estimated to be about 40% of the time spent as an active comet. More likely, JF comets in near-Earth orbits will disintegrate once (or shortly after) they end their active phases. 相似文献

We study the effects of a Mars-like planetoid with a semimajor axis at about ∼60 AU orbiting embedded in the primordial Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB). The origin of such an object can be explained in the framework of our current understanding of the origin of the outer Solar System, and a scenario for the orbital transport mechanism to its present location is given. The existence of such an object would produce a gap in the EKB distribution with an edge at about 50 AU, which seems to be in agreement with the most recent observations. No object at low eccentricity with semimajor axis beyond 50 AU has been detected so far, even though the present observing capabilities would allow an eventual detection (B.

Finally, ranges for the magnitude and proper motion of the proposed object are given. 相似文献

In this paper we apply a numerical method to determine unmodeled perturbations in an attempt to explain the observed discrepancies in the motion of Uranus. We find that the estimated perturbation shows some significant periods that could be attributed to insufficient knowledge of the perturbations from some of the known planets. On the assumption that the gravitational attraction of an unknown planet is the origin of the deviations, the best planar solution of the inverse problem is a planet of 0.6 Earth masses, with true longitude of 133° (1990.5), semi major axis a = 44 AU and eccentricity e = 0.007. 相似文献

A Riemann ellipsoid is a self-gravitating fluid whose velocity field is a linear function of the position coordinates. Though the theory of the equilibrium and stability is thoroughly developed, scarse attention has been paid to the dynamical behaviour.In this paper we present a numerical exploration of the phase-space structure for the Self-Adjoint S-Type Riemann ellipsoids via Poincaré surfaces of section, which reveal a rich and complex dynamical behaviour.Both the occurrence of chaos for certain values of the parameters of the system as well as the existence of periodic orbits are observed.We also considered ellipsoids embedded in rigid, homogeneous, spherical halos, obtaining evidence of the stabilizing effect of halos even in the case of finite-amplitude oscillations.Moreover, we show that the approximated equations of motion derived by Rosensteel and Tran (1991) fail to describe properly the phase-space structure of the problem. 相似文献
