Halo Meteors     

《New Astronomy》2021

The stellar halo contains some of the oldest stars in the Milky Way galaxy and in the universe. The detections of ‘Oumuamua, CNEOS 2014-01-08, and interstellar dust serve to calibrate the production rate of interstellar objects. We study the feasibility of a search for interstellar meteors with origins in the stellar halo. We find the mean heliocentric impact speed for halo meteors to be $\sim 270\text{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1},$ and the standard deviation is $\sim 90\text{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1},$ making the population kinematically distinct from all other meteors, which are an order-of-magnitude slower. We explore the expected abundance of halo meteors, finding that a network of all-sky cameras covering all land on Earth can take spectra and determine the orbits of a few hundred halo meteors larger than a few mm per year. The compositions of halo meteors would provide information on the characteristics of planetary system formation for the oldest stars. In addition, one could place tight constraints on baryonic dark matter objects of low masses.  相似文献   

Late Quaternary climate and environmental change derived from glacial deposits in the Parlung Zangbo Valley,southeastern Tibetan Plateau

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the late Quaternary climate and environmental characteristics of two tributary valleys (Xingmu and Depu Valleys) in the Parlung Zangbo Valley, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) samples collected from moraines at the mouth of Xingmu Valley produce a wide age range from 13.9 ka to 76 ka. The ages measured from the lenticular sand are consistent with the relative geomorphic sequence of the landforms. Lenticular sand layers below the moraine were dated to 37.9 ka and 44.7 ka, indicating that fluvial processes were likely dominant in the valley during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. The outer moraine ridges at the valley mouth were formed during 13.9 ka and 26.5 ka, corresponding to MIS2. At Depu Valley, OSL samples from two sets of lateral and terminal moraines close to the modern glacier, provide ages from 1.4 ka to 29.2 ka. The paleosol layer widely developed during 2.6 cal ka BP and 8.7 cal ka BP in the study area, reflecting a relatively warm condition during the mid-Holocene.  相似文献

杜勤博  吴晓燕  郑素帆  李玥莹  陈欢欢  张宇烽 《气象与环境学报》2019,35(5):70-77

利用2014—2017年汕头市PM_2.5的日浓度资料、以及汕头市国家基准气象观测站的同期地面气象资料,重点分析了汕头市PM_2.5浓度的变化特征以及风、混合层厚度、降水等气象条件对PM_2.5浓度的影响,同时探讨了污染物浓度变化的成因。在此基础上,根据汕头市的气候特点,采用BP （Back-Propagation）人工神经网络方法针对汛期和非汛期分别建立了PM_2.5质量浓度预报模型。结果表明：与多数内陆城市不同,汕头市PM_2.5浓度日变化为单峰型,这与汕头地处沿海受海陆风影响有关;PM_2.5浓度日峰值出现在08时左右,除早高峰污染物排放增加的因素外,与早晨时段的低风速环境有关;PM_2.5日均浓度随着风速的增大呈现减小趋势,PM_2.5日均浓度与08时混合层厚度显著相关（相关系数为-0.143）;汕头市非汛期PM_2.5浓度比汛期高,这与汕头市的亚热带季风气候特征有关,汛期各量级降水（暴雨以上除外）对PM_2.5的清除效果无明显差别,而非汛期降水对PM_2.5浓度有明显清除作用;BP人工神经网络模型的预报效果表明,汛期和非汛期的PM_2.5级别命中率TS分别为100%和90.3%,准确指数分别为87.7%和89.9%,总体预报效果良好。不同时期预报模型出现正误差的数量和程度均大于负误差,汛期预报模型在有强降水发生时误差较大,而非汛期预报模型在有冷空气入侵时误差较大。  相似文献

基于2010年10月至2011年4月对苏北紫菜养殖筏架区定生绿藻及环境因素调查数据,分析研究了紫菜筏架上定生绿藻种群结构和数量变化及重要环境因子对其的影响并估算了调查区绿藻总生物量.结果表明,筏架上定生绿藻种类有浒苔(Ulva prolifera)、盒管藻(Capsosiphon groenlandicus)、缘管浒苔(Ulva linza)、肠浒苔(Ulva intestinalis)、条浒苔(Ulva clathrata)和扁浒苔(Ulva compressa).绿藻生物量变化呈倒抛物线型,4月份为主高峰14898吨,11月份为次高峰2034吨,2月份最低,仅为729吨,3-4月份绿藻几乎呈暴发性增长.种类多样性随季节变化有很大差异,养殖筏架刚入海的9、10月份,绿藻种类丰富,生物多样性高;12月至笠年2月,尽管生物量很低,但仍是多种并存;3-4月份随着生物量的猛增,种类多样性降至最低,盒管藻优势地位明显,生物量比例最大能到80%,浒苔比例呈指数增长,达20%～40%.水温对绿藻生物量及种类演替有直接调控作用,在水温< 10℃时,绿藻即能快速生长;而盐度作用不明显.开展紫菜筏架上定生绿藻群落动态变化及其生物量的估算,为追溯南黄海大规模绿潮发源地提供佐证,为绿潮预防和治理提供基础数据支撑.  相似文献   

Effects of the pharmaceutical fluoxetine in spiked-sediments on feeding activity and growth of the polychaete Capitella teleta     

《Marine environmental research》2013

The marine–estuarine polychaete Capitella is an indicator of organic pollution and plays important roles in sewage waste cycling. The antidepressant fluoxetine can be accumulated in streams and sewage effluents and it could pose a hazard to infauna. Effects of fluoxetine on feeding and growth of Capitella teleta were investigated through the exposure to 0, 0.001, 0.03, 0.3 and 3.3 μg/g dry weight sediment-spiked fluoxetine during 18 days. No effects of fluoxetine concentrations were observed on egestion rates, body weight and size-specific egestion rates. Fluoxetine favoured the occurrence of males with abnormal genital spines. This suggests that fluoxetine can have important reproductive implications. Further studies are recommended to assess potential detrimental effects on benthic infauna inhabiting close to sewage treatment plants.  相似文献   

Widespread distribution and molecular diversity of diatom frustule bound aliphatic long chain polyamines (LCPAs) in marine sediments     

《Organic Geochemistry》2012

The siliceous skeletal remains of diatoms are a primary component of sediments, covering vast areas of the sea floor. We used high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–MSⁿ) under high resolution time-of-flight MS (TOF-MS) conditions, as well as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), to investigate the distribution and molecular diversity of long chain polyamines (LCPAs) entrapped in sedimentary diatom biosilica in sediments from the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, the Bering Sea and the Northeast Pacific. This revealed the existence of complex polyamine populations with both known and unknown structural features, including the presence of ketone and carboxylic acid groups in the LCPA backbone, functional groups that likely modulate the silica precipitating properties of LCPAs in the environment and which may constitute points of initial silica deposition (Wallace, A.F., De Yoreso, J.J., Dove, P.M., 2009. Kinetics of silica nucleation on carboxy- and amine-terminated surfaces: insights for biomineralization. Journal of the American Chemical Society 131, 5244–5250). Although various LCPA species overlapped between samples (putrescine-based LCPAs with various degrees of methylation and N-methyl propylamine repeat units were ubiquitous in all samples), clear regional differences were shown in composition and structural characteristics, likely reflecting the various diatom species contributing to the total LCPA pool for each sedimentary environment. We further show, using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM–EDX) that LCPAs purified from diatom skeletal remains rapidly re-direct the formation of silica nanospheres in vitro, and become embedded in the precipitated silicified matrix, forming an LCPA–silica composite material. The results show that aliphatic polyamines produced by diatoms for morphogenesis of their cell walls are widespread in sediments where the fossil frustules are preserved. These newly assigned components constitute useful biological markers of diatom input to sediments.  相似文献   

基于不同DEM数据源的数字河网提取对比分析——以韩江流域为例   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  

刘远  周买春  陈芷菁  李绍文 《地理科学》2012,(9):1112-1118

基于HYDRO1K、SRTM3和ASTER GDEM三种DEM数据,利用BTOPMC地形子模型提取韩江流域河网,并作对比分析。结果表明:①SRTM3提取的河网精度最高,HYDRO1K相对最低。②DEM的垂直精度对提取的河网精度起控制作用。ASTER GDEM的水平分辨率较高,但垂直精度不如SRTM3,因而提取的河网精度不如SRTM3。③HYDRO1K提取大尺度流域河网具有一定的精度,但在地势平坦区域的效果较差,HY-DRO1K不宜用来提取小尺度流域河网。④由DEM提取的数字河网精度与当地的地面坡度以及处理DEM的填洼算法有关。  相似文献   

Culture observation and molecular phylogenetic analysis on the blooming green alga Chaetomorpha valida (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) from China     

邓蕴彦  汤晓荣  詹子锋  滕林宏  丁兰平  黄冰心 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2013,31(3):552-559

The marine green alga Chaetomorpha valida fouls aquaculture ponds along the coastal cities of Dalian and Rongcheng, China. Unialgal cultures were observed under a microscope to determine the developmental morphological characters of C. valida. Results reveal that gametophytic filaments often produce lateral branches under laboratory culture conditions, suggesting an atypical heteromorphic life cycle of C. valida between unbranched sporophytes and branched gametophytes, which differs from typical isomorphic alternation of Chaetomorpha species. The shape of the basal attachment cell, an important taxonomic character within the genus, was found variable depending on environmental conditions. The 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA regions were used to explore the phylogenetic affinity of the taxa. Inferred trees from 18S rDNA sequences revealed a close relationship between C. valida and Chaetomorpha moniligera. These results would enrich information in general biology and morphological plasticity of C. valida and provided a basis for future identification of green tide forming algae.  相似文献   

Exploring fading in single grain feldspar IRSL measurements     

《Quaternary Geochronology》2012

IR laser stimulated luminescence was used to determine the equivalent dose (D_e) for about 150 luminescent K-feldspar grains of two well-bleached aeolian sand samples, previously dated using quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermally-transferred OSL (TT-OSL). Fading tests were performed both on the entire single grain disc, using stimulation by IR LEDs, and on each grain individually, by stimulation with an IR laser. The single grain D_e distributions are highly over dispersed, even after applying rejection criteria, such as recycling ratio and recuperation. Fading rates determined with the IR LED stimulation do not represent the fading behavior of the IR laser stimulated signal and are therefore considered inappropriate for the fading correction of single grain D_e values. Fading rates of individual grains exhibit a wide range of values (0%–10% per decade) and plotting the single grain fading rates against the single grain D_e values reveals a negative relationship. Different approaches were taken to correct for fading, but the resulting ages tend to underestimate the reference ages.  相似文献
