双星系统也许不适宜生命形成 根据美国宇航局斯皮策空间望远镜的观测数据,一项最新的研究显示紧密的双星系统也许并不是生命形成的最佳场所。“斯皮策”在三个密近绕转的双星系统周围发现了惊人的大量尘埃,天文学家认为它们可能是行星间剧烈碰撞的产物。  相似文献   

液态水与宇宙生命宜居带     

柏益敏 《天文爱好者》2010,(7):34-39

所谓“生命宜居带”,指的是行星距离行星系的中心恒星远近“合适”的区域,在这一区域中,由于恒星传递给行星的热量适中,行星既不太热也不太冷。且能够确长期保存在液容水,水是生命存在的关键因素。  相似文献

WISE升温但继续工作 在完成了主要任务对红外天空进行了巡天观测之后,美国宇航局的大视场红外巡天探测器（WISE）耗尽了其所有的制冷剂。虽然WISE已经升温,但美国宇航局决定继续这一任务。现在WISE的观测目标将集中在太阳系中的小行星、彗星和行星上。  相似文献

Minimum Bedrock Exposure Ages and Their Implications: Larsemann Hills and Neighboring Bolingen Islands, East Antarctica

<正>Considerable controversy exists over whether or not extensive glaciation occurred during the global Last Glacial Maximum(LGM) in the Larsemann Hills.In this study we use the in situ produced cosmogenic nuclide ~(10)Be(half life 1.51 Ma) to provide minimum exposure ages for six bedrock samples and one erratic boulder in order to determine the last period of deglaciation in the Larsemann Hills and on the neighboring Bolingen Islands.Three bedrock samples taken from Friendship Mountain(the highest peak on the Mirror Peninsula,Larsemann Hills;～2 km from the ice sheet) have minimum exposure ages ranging from 40.0 to 44.7 ka.The erratic boulder from Peak 106(just at the edge of the ice sheet) has a younger minimum exposure age of only 8.8 ka.The minimum exposure ages for two bedrock samples from Blundell Peak(the highest peak on Stornes Peninsula,Larsemann Hills;～2 km from the ice sheet) are about 17 and 18 ka.On the Bolingen Islands(southwest to the Larsemann Hills;～10 km from the ice sheet),the minimum exposure age for one bedrock sample is similar to that at Friendship Mountain(i.e.,44 ka).Our results indicate that the bedrock exposure in the Larsemann Hills and on the neighboring Bolingen Islands commenced obviously before the global LGM(i.e.,20-22 ka),and the bedrock erosion rates at the Antarctic coast areas may be obviously higher than in the interior land.  相似文献   

英国科学家最近研究发现地球在宇宙中“怀胎”了1亿年否定了此前孕育3000万年之说     

刘霞 《山东地质》2010,(8):21-21

据英国《每日电讯报》报道,英国科学家最近研究发现,地球的整个形成期约为1亿年,而不是之前认为的3000万年。这样,地球实际年龄的计算就要减去7000万年的孕育时间,也就是说,地球比科学家此前推算的要“年轻”。  相似文献   

科学发现史上又一个重要里程碑——获取宇宙最初一刻的吉光片羽     

《地理教学》2014,(9):62-63

正宇宙学是一门奇特的学问:课题是独特的,对象是独特的,方法是独特的,甚至它的研究者也是独特的。美国BICEP2研究团队就是由这样一批独特的宇宙学家组成。他们发现了宇宙诞生之后一亿亿亿亿分之一秒遗留下来的"吉光片羽"。他们探测到了大爆炸之后穿过宇宙的引力波。这是一个石破天惊的发现,对了解宇宙如何诞生具有里程碑式的意义,如果得到确认,他们将有望获得下一个诺贝尔物理学奖。  相似文献   

New advances in the study of Alpine glaciations     

ShangZhe Zhou 《寒旱区科学》2014,6(1):0001-0007

The European Alps is the birthplace of glaciology and in particular Quaternary glaciology and for over one hundred years has been a model region for studying mountain glaciations. In this paper, we review the achievements from this region, which will benefit glaciological studies of the Tibetan Plateau, China. According to new evidences of glaciofluvial de- posits discovered in valleys and forelands of the Alps, researchers have progressed from an original four Pleistocene gla- ciations to seven glaciations： Biber, Donua, Gtinz, Haslach, Mindel, Riss and WOrm. The earliest one Biber possibly oc- curred between the Pliocene and Pleistocene, but the chronology before Riss is still in doubt. Recent years, Riss and Wtirm glaciations have been supported by a large numbers of cosmogenic exposure dating. In particular, cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating has been carried out for different moraine boulders in numerous valleys, which reveals a series of climatic change events, and they are comparable to post-glacial age records of northern Europe. The advancement of glaciological studies in the Alps is important in promoting glaciological research in the Tibetan Plateau.  相似文献

GPS radio occultation（GPS RO） method,an active satellite-to-satellite remote sensing technique,is capable of producing accurate,all-weather,round the clock,global refractive index,density,pressure,and temperature profiles of the troposphere and stratosphere.This study presents planetary-scale equatorially trapped Kelvin waves in temperature profiles retrieved using COSMIC（Constellation Observing System for Meteorology,Ionosphere,and Climate） satellites during 2006-2009 and their interactions with background atmospheric conditions.It is found that the Kelvin waves are not only associated with wave periods of higher than 10 days（slow Kelvin waves） with higher zonal wave numbers（either 1 or 2）,but also possessing downward phase progression,giving evidence that the source regions of them are located at lower altitudes.A thorough verification of outgoing longwave radiation（OLR） reveals that deep convection activity has developed regularly over the Indonesian region,suggesting that the Kelvin waves are driven by the convective activity.The derived Kelvin waves show enhanced（diminished） tendencies during westward（eastward） phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation（QBO） in zonal winds,implying a mutual relation between both of them.The El Nino and Southern Oscillation（ENSO） below 18 km and the QBO features between 18 and 27km in temperature profiles are observed during May 2006-May 2010 with the help of an adaptive data analysis technique known as Hilbert Huang Transform（HHT）.Further,temperature anomalies computed using COSMIC retrieved temperatures are critically evaluated during different phases of ENSO,which has revealed interesting results and are discussed in light of available literature.  相似文献
