Atmospheric loss of energetic electrons in the Jovian synchrotron zone

For decades, ground-based radio observations of Jovian synchrotron radiation have shown emission originating predominantly from the equatorial region and from high-latitude regions (lobes) near L∼2.5. The observations show a longitudinally asymmetric gap between the emission peaks of the lobes and the atmosphere of Jupiter. One possible explanation for these gaps is the loss of electrons through collisions with atmospheric neutrals as the electrons bounce along magnetic field lines and drift longitudinally in the presence of asymmetric magnetic fields. To assess this hypothesis, we applied the recently developed O6 and VIP4 magnetic field models to calculate the trajectories of electrons as they drift longitudinally in Jupiter's magnetic field, and derive the sizes of their equatorial drift loss cones. We then identified the shells on which electrons would be lost due to collisions with the atmosphere. The calculated drift loss cone sizes could be applied in future to the modeling of electron distribution functions in this region and could also be applied to the study of Jovian auroral zone. This method also allowed us to compute the shell-splitting effects for these drifting electrons and we find the shell-splitting to be small (?0.05R_J). This justifies a recent modeling assumption that particles drift on the same shells in a three-dimensional distribution model of electrons. We also compared the computed gaps with the observed gaps, and found that the atmospheric loss mechanism alone is not able to sufficiently explain the observed gap asymmetry.  相似文献   

A CCD Image Archive Of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp): Dust Expansion Velocities     

BRAUNSTEIN  M.  COMSTOCK  R.  HOFFMAN  P.  WOMACK  M.  DEGLMAN  F.  PINNICK  D.  AAKER  G.  GOLDSCHEN  M.  JACOBSON  A.  ZILKA  J.  FAITH  D.  MOORE  S.  RICOTTA  J.  WEIST  A.  MODI  C. 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1997,78(1-3):219-227

An optical archive of comet Hale-Bopp was obtained over 28 nights from June 1996 to May 1997 covering a range of heliocentric distances of r = 4.12 − 0.91. The CCD images were obtained with the 0.8-m University of Washington Manastash Ridge Observatory and the 0.25-m Pennsylvania State University at Eriemobile observatory. The reduced images clearly document the evolution of features of the coma, which were dominated by radial jetsfrom r = 4.1 − 2.3 AU, curved fan-shaped jets from r = 1.2 − 1.0 AU, and arcs or shells for 0.9 < r < 1.0 AU. We present the images and derive an average dust expansion velocity of V_dust = 0.67 ± 0.07 km s⁻¹ from measurements of the arc features. The images in thearchive will be made available to other researchers for further study. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Was the enclosed Qaidam Basin of The Tibetan Plateau Accumulative or Erosive during the Late Quaternary?     

LAI Zhongping 《《地质学报》英文版》2014,(Z1)

正A geological feature in the Qaidam Basin known as the"Shell Bar"contains millions of freshwater articulated clam shells buried in-situ.Since the 1980s this feature in the now hyper-arid basin has been interpreted to be lake deposits that provide evidence for a warmer and more humid climate than present during late Marine Isotope Stage 3(MIS 3)(Bowler et al.,1986).However,the global climate during  相似文献

Comet Hale—Bopp Shells Expansion: A CCD Study     

Manzini  Federico  Crippa  Roberto  Oldani  Virgino  Guaita  Cesare 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1999,87(2):73-85

Using a CCD camera attached to the 0.335 m and 0.20 m reflectors of S.A.S. Observatory (Novara, Italy), we followed the linear jets and shells of comet Hale–Bopp between May 1996 and May 1997. In addition to confirming the model of Sekanina and Bohenhardt (1997), the study of the linear jets provided indications concerning the orientation of the comet's axis of rotation over time. The study of the shells revealed that the speed at which they move away from the nucleus was not constant. A periodic variation of the shell expansion velocity may not be excluded : if so, a possible precessional effect on the axis of rotation of the comet's nucleus could explain this behavior.

Palaeontology and taphonomy of Late Quaternary fossil assemblages at Somersham,Cambridgeshire, England,and the problem of reworking

Assemblages of foraminifers, ostracods and molluscs from temperate Ipswichian Stage (last temperate stage) sediments and overlying cold Devensian Stage (last cold stage) sediments at Somersham in the southern Fenland of Cambridgeshire have been analysed. The Ipswichian sediments contain faunas consistent with temperate brackish water conditions under tidal influence. The Devensian assemblages were recovered from a series of sands and gravels laterally accreting in a channel cutting into Ipswichian sediments. In contrast to the Ipswichian faunas, the faunas of particular Devensian samples show a complex mixture of temperate freshwater, brackish and marine taxa. The molluscs are mainly freshwater, with few land snails; they occur together with foraminifers and ostracods. Freshwater, brackish water and marine ostracods are present with foraminifers. A sample of Devensian fine laminated sediment in the channel was analysed for pollen; only abundant pre-Quaternary spores were present, with abundant foraminifers in the same sample. The taphonomy of the assemblages and the difficulties of their interpretation in environmental terms are discussed. The importance of taphonomy in assessing environments, climate, range of taxa and dating is stressed.  相似文献
