We present an analysis of the chiral property of 667 spiral and barred spiral galaxies in the Local Supercluster (radial velocity
<3 000 km s−1). The arms of a galaxy (spiral or barred spiral) can be distinguished according to their orientation (leading or trailing)
relative to the direction of the rotation. We use environment of each galaxy as a subsample in order to study the chiral property
of galaxies. In addition, equatorial position angle distributions of leading and trailing arm galaxies are studied. We classify
our database according as their morphology, diameters, radial velocities, axial ratios and magnitudes. The distribution of
trailing and leading arm galaxies in the Local Supercluster is found homogeneous. A significant dominance of either trailing
or leading structures is noticed within the Virgo cluster region, suggesting that the aggregation of these structures might
have already started there. The rotation axes of the galaxies in the Virgo cluster is found to lie in the equatorial plane.
Chirality of galaxies is found strong for the subsamples that showed a random alignment in the equatorial position angle distribution.
Possible explanations of the results will be presented. 相似文献

We analyze the temporal variation of the tropospheric cloud and haze in the jovian equatorial zone. In order to investigate the time evolution of the haze, we utilize a comprehensive set of archival WFPC2 images in the 953 and 893-nm wavelengths spanning over a decade of HST observations of Jupiter. We find that the latitude of the peak haze reflectivity experienced a southerly shift in between late-1998 and early-2001 (not to be confused with southerly bulk transport of haze particles themselves); before this shift, the latitude of peak reflectivity had remained relatively stable at +7° (planetographic latitude). We examine the average haze reflectivity at three equatorial latitudes (−5°, 0°, +5°) and find variability of amplitude ±20%. Equatorial clouds, which lie deeper than the haze, showed zonal mean variability with an amplitude of about 5% except during the global upheaval of 2006-2007 in which cloud reflectivity dropped up to 16% depending on latitude. An analysis of temporal correlation between zonally averaged cloud reflectivity and zonally averaged haze reflectivity indicates a time-lag of about 1200 days (with a lower limit of 800 days) between changes in cloud reflectivity and later changes in haze reflectivity, but limitations in the temporal coverage of even this extensive dataset make it impossible to rule out even longer time-lags. 相似文献

This paper focuses attention on a qualitative analysis of the evolution of two-fluid flat FRW cosmological models.In the first
model one of the fluid represents matter content of the universe comoving with respect to the another fluid that is the cosmic
microwave background radiation (CMBR), these two fluids are interacting.The first model is most relevant to describe the scenario
before the recombination epoch when matter and radiation were in an interactive phase and the photons was bound to electron
through Thomson scattering. The second model describe two noninteracting fluids where the matter is comoving to the space-time
coordinates and the CMBR is moving axially, relative to the matter thus modeling the relative velocity between galaxies and
the CMBR (Phys. Rev. Lett. 39:898–901, 1977). This model portray the cosmic evolution in the postrecombination epoch when the two-fluid are noninteracting.In this epoch
the photons got themselves free to form the CMBR being observed presently.

In this paper we consider a locally-rotationally-symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-V perfect fluid model with variable cosmological
‘constant’ representing the energy density of vacuum. The field equations are solved with and without heat conduction by using
a variation law for the mean Hubble parameter, which is related to the average scale factor of the metric and yields a constant
value of the deceleration parameter. A constant value of deceleration parameter generates power-law form of average scale
factor which is used to find the exact solutions with and without heat conduction with decaying vacuum density. The solutions
presented here satisfy all the necessary conditions for the physically acceptability. The thermodynamical relations in decaying
vacuum fluid model are also studied in detail. 相似文献

We acquired high spectral and spatial resolution hyperspectral imaging spectrometer observations of Mars from near-UV to near-IR wavelengths (∼300 to 1020 nm) using the STIS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope during the 1999, 2001, and 2003 oppositions. The data sets have been calibrated to radiance factor (I/F) and map-projected for comparison to each other and to other Mars remote sensing measurements. We searched for and (where detected) mapped a variety of iron-bearing mineral signatures within the data. The strong and smooth increase in I/F from the near-UV to the visible that gives Mars its distinctive reddish color indicates that poorly crystalline ferric oxides dominate the spectral properties of the high albedo regions (as well as many intermediate and low albedo regions), a result consistent with previous remote sensing studies of Mars at these wavelengths. In the near-IR, low albedo regions with a negative spectral slope and/or a distinctive ∼900 nm absorption feature are consistent with, but not unique indicators of, the presence of high-Ca pyroxene or possibly olivine. Mixed ferric-ferrous minerals could also be responsible for the ∼900 nm feature, especially in higher albedo regions with a stronger visible spectral slope. We searched for the presence of several known diagnostic absorption features from the hydrated ferric sulfate mineral jarosite, but did not find any unique evidence for its occurrence at the spatial scale of our observations. We identified a UV contrast reversal in some dark region spectra: at wavelengths shorter than about 340 nm these regions are actually brighter than classical bright regions. This contrast reversal may be indicative of extremely “clean” low albedo surfaces having very little ferric dust contamination. Ratios between the same regions observed during the planet-encircling dust storm of 2001 and during much clearer atmospheric conditions in 2003 provide a good direct estimate of the UV to visible spectral characteristics of airborne dust aerosols. These HST observations can help support the calibration of current and future Mars orbital UV to near-IR spectrometers, and they also provide a dramatic demonstration that even at the highest spatial resolution possible to achieve from the Earth, spectral variations on Mars at these wavelengths are subtle at best. 相似文献
