Kinematic parameters of young subsystems and the galactic rotation curve     

M. V. Zabolotskikh  A. S. Rastorguev  A. K. Dambis 《Astronomy Letters》2002,28(7):454-464

We analyze the space velocities of blue supergiants, long-period Cepheids, and young open star clusters (OSCs), as well as the H I and H II radial-velocity fields by the maximum-likelihood method. The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity Ω′ determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. The former method yields a short distance scale (for R₀=7.5 kpc, the assumed distances should be increased by 4%), whereas the latter method yields a long distance scale (for R₀=8.5 kpc, the assumed distances should be increased by 16%). We cannot choose between these two methods. Similarly, the distance scale of blue supergiants should be shortened by 9% and lengthened by 3%, respectively. The H II distance scale is matched with the distance scale of Cepheids and OSCs by comparing the derivatives Ω′ determined for H II from radial velocities and for Cepheids and OSCs from space velocities. As a result, the distances to H II regions should be increased by 5% in the short distance scale. We constructed the Galactic rotation curve in the Galactocentric distance range 2–14 kpc from the radial velocities of all objects with allowance for the difference between the residual-velocity distributions. The axial ratio of the Cepheid+OSC velocity ellipsoid is well described by the Lindblad relation, while σ_u≈σ_v for gas. The following rotation-curve parameters were obtained: Ω₀=(27.5±1.4) km s^?1 kpc^?1 and A=(17.1±0.5) km s^?1 kpc^?1 for the short distance scale (R₀=7.5 kpc); and Ω₀=(26.6±1.4) km s^?1 kpc^?1 and A=(15.4±0.5) km s^?1 kpc^?1 for the long distance scale (R₀=8.5 kpc). We propose a new method for determining the angular velocity Ω₀ from stellar radial velocities alone by using the Lindblad relation. Good agreement between the inferred Ω₀ and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. Our analysis of the heliocentric velocities for samples of young objects reveals noticeable streaming motions (with a velocity lag of ～7 km s^?1 relative to the LSR), whereas a direct computation of the perturbation amplitudes in terms of the linear density-wave theory yields a small amplitude for the tangential perturbations.  相似文献   

Response of First-Order Sequence to the Galactic Year Cycle in the Phanerozoic:An Important Progress and Topic     

Yingjie Zhang  Long Wang 《地球科学进展》2020,35(3):275-285

The sequence which corresponds to the first-order sea-level cycle is called the first-order sequence, and the first-order sequence may have an internal relationship with the galactic year cycle, in other words, the galactic year cycle may control the first-order sequence macroscopically. The superevents in the Phanerozoic, such as the concentration change of atmospheric gas carbon dioxide, the alternation of "calcite sea" and "aragonite sea" in the hydrosphere, and the reversal of magnetic poles, are cyclical. They have obvious correlation in genesis, and they are likely to be controlled by the complicated genetic relationship between galactic annual cycles and various superevents. Over the years, researches have shown that when the solar system moves around the galactic center, the acceleration of gravity (value of G) changes accordingly, and the solar system expands (or shrinks). The Earth, a member of the solar system, forms a change in potential energy and absorbs (or releases) heat. At the same time, the gravitational differentiation changes as a result of the value of G change, which leads to the expansion of the mantle and the contraction of the core; when the energy accumulates to a certain degree, the superplume will be activated, which will affect the plate pattern on the earth. In recent years, the periodic changes of these superevents in Phanerozoic have attracted extensive attention and discussion. Paying attention to these wise understandings and existing problems will provide important thinking process and research clues for in-depth research.  相似文献   

The probability of detecting first generation stars of the Galaxy     

Cen Min-rui  Lu Ye  Zhao Gang 《Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics》2001,25(4):432-438

First generation stars are the oldest stars that were formed in post-big bang, primitive gas, containing no elements heavier than carbon, with ages greater than 14 Gyr and having undergone no evolution so far. Observations over a long time have confirmed that, up to now, no stars with zero metallicity ([Fe/H]) or with [Fe/H]≤ −6 have been found in the Galaxy. To explain this absence, we shall make a theoretical calculation of the probability of detecting first generation stars using Tsuiimoto et al.'s model of chemical evolution of the galactic halo and assuming an initial mass function of the Miller-Scalo form. We use all the observational data on the halo stars to constrain the parameters. Our result is that, if the mass of the cloud that formed the stars is 10⁶–10⁷ M, then the probability of detecting first generation stars is 6.14×10⁻⁴–6.14×10⁻⁵.  相似文献   

极地气象与全球变化   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

卞林根  陈百炼  辛羽飞 《气象》2007,33(3):3-9

目前，全球变化加快，极地地区变化尤为突出，这对区域或全球的社会、经济和生态系统都将产生显著的影响。最明显的证据是极区的冰川和冰雪范围持续减少，永久冻土在消融和消失，北冰洋海冰范围和厚度减小。极地环境的变化跟地球其它区域的变化息息相关，如臭氧洞的形成与来自低纬度的污染物积聚有关。极地地区的科学研究非常重要，不断地给我们提出新的科学挑战。极地冰盖下和大面积海冰下存在着大量的未知领域，许多极地研究的前沿问题实际上存在于传统学科的交叉领域。因此，世界气象组织（WMO）和国际科联（ICSU）共同发起并于2007年3月1日启动实施2007-2008年国际极地年（IPY），旨在为极地气象学、海洋学、冰川和水文学等领域的科学研究和观测做出贡献，有助于发展更精确的海一冰一大气环流模式，进一步提高对天气预报和气候变化的预测和预估水平。  相似文献

The Spin-X wide-field X-ray monitor of the Spectrum-X-Gamma astrophysical observatory     

M. N. Pavlinsky  S. A. Grebenev  P. A. Mazov  I. A. Dekhanov  D. B. Ryvkin  R. A. Sunyaev  V. I. Surtaev  N. V. Mokrousov  A. G. Glushenko  S. I. Yampol’skii  A. D. Novikov 《Astronomy Letters》2000,26(12):779-787

The Spin-X wide-field X-ray monitor of the Spectrum-X-Gamma astrophysical observatory, which is based on the principle of a coded-aperture telescope, is designed to detect and localize cosmic gammaray-burst (GRB) sources; to survey large areas of the sky in search of new transients; and to carry out long-term observations of bright Galactic sources, including X-ray bursters. The monitor consists of two noncoaxial identical modules, Spin-X1 and Spin-X2, which together cover 6.8% of the sky. The high-apogee, four-day orbit of the Spectrum-XG satellite allows the instrument to be in observing mode more than 50% of the time. Having simulated the rate of GRB detection by Spin-X, we show that extrapolating BATSE 50–300-keV average data on the number of GRBs, their duration, and their mean energy spectrum to the X-ray energy band leads to disagreement with the observed detection rate of GRBs in the X-ray band. The number of GRBs that can be detected and localized with an accuracy r≤3′ (3σ) (the error-circle radius) by Spin-X is estimated to be ten bursts per year. We present data on the Spin-X sensitivity achievable during long-term observations of persistent and transient sources and on its sensitivity to X-ray bursts from Galactic sources in the 2–30-keV energy band.  相似文献   

Cosmic rays from the galactic center     

R. W. Clay  B. R. Dawson  J. Bowen  M. Debes 《Astroparticle Physics》2000,12(4)

We examine the possibility that recent data on cosmic ray anisotropies presented by the AGASA group may lead to the conclusion that our Galactic Center is a major source of the highest energy cosmic rays in our galaxy. We discuss how such a source would contribute to the magnitude and directional properties of the observed flux when measured against a background of extragalactic cosmic rays. We do this using the results of previous propagation calculations and our own more recent calculations which are specifically for a Galactic Center source.We find that the AGASA data can indeed be plausibly interpreted in this way and also that an argument can be made that the Galactic Center has the appropriate physical properties for acceleration to energies of the order of 10¹⁸ eV. We show that data from the SUGAR array are compatible with the AGASA result.  相似文献   

Determination of the Proper Motions and Membership of the Globular Cluster M3 and of its Orbit in the Galaxy     

Zhen-Yu Wu  Jia-Ji Wang  Li ChenShanghai Astronomical Observatory  Chinese Academy of Sciences  Shanghai National Astronomical Observatories  Chinese Academy of Sciences  Beijing 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2002,2(3):216-225

We examine 14 plates of the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272) taken with the 40 cm refractor at the Sheshan station of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. The plates span over a period of about 77 years. The positions and absolute proper motions of eight stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue and of 49 stars in the Tycho-2 Catalogue are used as the reference frame. The astrometric reduction is made with the central overlapping principle. The absolute proper motions of 534 stars in a region of about 100' × 100' around the cluster are measured. With the new proper motion data the membership probabilities of the stars are determined. The average absolute proper motion obtained for the cluster is -0.06@0.30 mas yr-1 in R.A. and -2.6@0.30 mas yr-1 in Decl. By combining this result with the known distance and radial velocity of the cluster, we also obtained the Galactic orbit of M3 for a chosen three-component Galactic potential.  相似文献
