Spatially-explicit estimation of aboveground biomass(AGB) plays an important role to generate action policies focused in climate change mitigation,since carbon(C) retained in the biomass is vital for regulating Earth’s temperature.This work estimates AGB using both chlorophyll(red,near infrared) and moisture(middle infrared) based normalized vegetation indices constructed with MCD43A4 MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) and MOD44B vegetation continuous fields(VCF) data.The study area is located in San Luis Potosí,Mexico,a region that comprises a part of the upper limit of the intertropical zone.AGB estimations were made using both individual tree data from the National Forest Inventory of Mexico and allometric equations reported in scientific literature.Linear and nonlinear(expo-nential) models were fitted to find their predictive potential when using satellite spectral data as explanatory variables.Highly-significant correlations(p = 0.01) were found between all the explaining variables tested.NDVI62,linked to chlorophyll content and moisture stress,showed the highest correlation.The best model(nonlinear) showed an index of fit(Pseudo-r2) equal to 0.77 and a root mean square error equal to 26.00 Mg/ha using NDVI62 and VCF as explanatory variables.Validation correlation coefficients were similar for both models:lin-ear(r = 0.87**) and nonlinear(r = 0.86**).  相似文献

Colorado’s Millennial Generation: Youth Perceptions and Experiences of Nature     

《The Journal of geography》2012,111(6):213-223

Abstract

This study uses survey and focus group methods to explore attitudes toward and experiences of nature among millennial-aged students in northern Colorado. First, results confirm that young people possess a strong interest in the outdoors yet time, transportation, and new technologies hamper their ability to visit public lands and outdoor spaces. Second, respondents experience nature in ways more mediated by new technologies such as cell phones and nature DVDs. Third, citizen science and active learning show promise as techniques for returning young people to the outdoors. The challenge lies in teaching young people to reimagine the outdoors not as elsewhere or out there but as a backyard geographic space.  相似文献

Particle acceleration test with Cas A multiwavelength emission     

Vera G. Sinitsyna  Vera Y. Sinitsyna 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2024,345(2-3):e240006

The investigation of supernova remnants (SNRs) across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio up to very high energy gamma-rays can serve as a test of the particle acceleration and touches on one of the unresolved problems of modern astrophysics, namely the origin of cosmic rays and the Galaxy's contribution to the overall cosmic ray spectrum. The multiwavelength observations of Cas A SNR demonstrated that structure and spectral features have clear signs of young SNRs and its overall properties make this object the best target to test a hypothesis of cosmic ray origin in SNRs. Studies of Cas A at very high energies by SHALON telescope showed the location of TeV gamma-ray emission region relative to the position of reveres shock. Also, the spectral energy distribution was obtained at high and very high energies. To describe the spectral and structural features of this SNR viewed in non-thermal emission, two approaches involving reverse and also both reverse and forward shocks to the mechanism of diffusive shock acceleration of cosmic rays in Cas A were applied. It is demonstrated that the observational properties of Cas A are well reproduced by the hadronic model with significant contribution of both the forward and reverse shocks in the generation of broadband emission. Calculation results suggest that the very high efficiency of particle acceleration in Cas A, which value is up to 25% of the supernova explosion energy with energy of accelerated particles not exceeding of $$ eV. Whereas, the forward shock model predicts the spectral characteristics of the TeV-gamma-emission corresponding to ones detected at 800 GeV–40 TeV that are the evidence of acceleration of the hadronic cosmic rays in shells of SNRs up to $$ eV  相似文献

Galaxy activity in merging binary galaxy clusters     

Ho Seong Hwang †  Myung Gyoon Lee 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,397(4):2111-2122

We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data. In A168, two subclusters appear to have passed each other and to be coming together from the recent maximum separation. In A1750, two major subclusters appear to have started interaction and to be coming together for the first time. We find an enhanced concentration of the galaxies showing star formation (SF) or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity in the region between two subclusters in A168, which were possibly triggered by the cluster merger. In A1750, we do not find any galaxies with SF/AGN activity in the region between two subclusters, indicating that two major subclusters are in the early stage of merging.  相似文献   

A new technique for timing the double pulsar system     

P. C. C. Freire  N. Wex  M. Kramer  D. R. Lorimer  M. A. McLaughlin  I. H. Stairs  R. Rosen  A. G. Lyne 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,396(3):1764-1770

In 2004, McLaughlin et al. discovered a phenomenon in the radio emission of PSR J0737−3039B (B) that resembles drifting subpulses. The repeat rate of the subpulses is equal to the spin frequency of PSR J0737−3039A (A); this led to the suggestion that they are caused by incidence upon B's magnetosphere of electromagnetic radiation from A. Here, we describe a geometrical model which predicts the delay of B's subpulses relative to A's radio pulses. We show that measuring these delays is equivalent to tracking A's rotation from the point of view of a hypothetical observer located near B. This has three main astrophysical applications: (i) to determine the sense of rotation of A relative to its orbital plane, (ii) to estimate where in B's magnetosphere the radio subpulses are modulated and (iii) to provide an independent estimate of the mass ratio of A and B. The latter might improve existing tests of gravitational theories using this system.  相似文献   

The diverse nature of optical emission lines in brightest cluster galaxies: IFU observations of the central kiloparsec     

Louise O. V. Edwards †  Carmelle Robert  Mercedes Mollá  Sean L. McGee 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,396(4):1953-1971

We present integral field spectroscopy of the nebular line emission in a sample of nine brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The sample was chosen to probe both cooling flow and non-cooling flow clusters, as well as a range of cluster X-ray luminosities. The line emission morphology and velocity gradients suggest a great diversity in the properties of the line emitting gas. While some BCGs show evidence for filamentary or patchy emission (Abell 1060, Abell 1668 and MKW 3s), others have extended emission (Abell 1204, Abell 2199), while still others have centrally concentrated emission (Abell 2052). We examine diagnostic line ratios to determine the dominant ionization mechanisms in each galaxy. Most of the galaxies show regions with active galactic nucleus like spectra, however, for two BCGs, Abell 1060 and Abell 1204, the emission line diagnostics suggest regions which can be described by the emission from young stellar populations. The diversity of emission-line properties in our sample of BCGs suggests that the emission mechanism is not universal, with different ionization processes dominating different systems. Given this diversity, there is no evidence for a clear distinction of the emission-line properties between cooling flow and non-cooling flow BCGs. It is not always cooling flow BCGs which show emission (or young stellar populations), and non-cooling flow BCGs which do not.  相似文献   

What is the closest black hole to the Sun?     

Cdric Foellmi 《New Astronomy》2009,14(8):674-691

We examine the distance of the two galactic microquasars GRO J1655–40 and A 0620–00 which are potentially the two closest black holes to the Sun. We aim to provide a picture as wide and complete as possible of the problem of measuring the distance of microquasars in our Galaxy. The purpose of this work is to fairly and critically review in great detail every distance method used for these two microquasars in order to show that the distances of probably all microquasars in our Galaxy are much more uncertain than currently admitted. Moreover, we show that many confirmations of quantitative results are often entangled and rely on very uncertain measurements. We also present a new determination of the maximum distance of GRO J1655–40 using red clump giant stars, and show that it confirms our earlier result of a distance less than 2 kpc instead of 3.2 kpc. Because, it then becomes more likely that GRO J1655–40 could originate from the stellar cluster NGC 6242, located at 1.0 kpc, we review the distance estimations of A 0620–00, which is so far the closest black hole with an average distance of about 1.0 kpc. We show that the distance methods used for A 0620–00 are also problematic. Finally, we present a new analysis of spectroscopic and astrometric archival data on this microquasar, and apply the maximum distance method of Foellmi et al. [Foellmi, C., Depagne, E., Dall, T.H., Mirabel, I.F., 2006b. A&A 457, 249]. It appears that A 0620–00 could indeed be even closer to the Sun than currently estimated, and consequently would be the closest known black hole to the Sun.  相似文献
