The Umov effect manifests itself as an inverse correlation between the linear polarization maximum of an object’s scattered light P_max and its geometric albedo A. This effect is observed for the Moon, Mercury and Mars, and there are data suggesting this effect is valid for asteroids. The Umov effect is due to the contribution of interparticle multiple scattering that increases albedo and decreases polarization. We here study if the Umov effect can be extended to the case of single irregularly shaped particles with sizes comparable with the wavelength. This, in particular, is important for cometary dust polarimetry. We show the Umov effect being valid for weakly absorbing irregular particles (Im(m) ? 0.02) almost through the entire range of size parameters x considered. Highly absorbing particles (Im(m) > 0.02) follow the Umov effect only if x exceeds 14. In the case of weakly absorbing particles, the inverse correlation is essentially non-linear, which is caused by the contribution of particles with small x. However, averaging over many different types of irregularly shaped particles could make it significantly more linear. The size averaging does not change qualitatively the diagram log(P_max)-log(A) for weakly absorbing particles. For single irregular particles whose sizes are comparable with wavelength, there is no reliable correlation between the slope of the polarization curve h near the inversion phase angle and geometric albedo A. Using the extended Umov Law, we estimate the geometric albedo of dust particles forming cometary circumnuclear haloes A = 0.1 − 0.2, which is a few times larger than the average geometric albedo over the entire comae. Note that, using the obtained values for A of cometary particles, one can derive their number density in circumnuclear haloes from photometric observations.  相似文献

Intercomparison of PIXE and ICP‐AES Analyses of Aeolian Dust from Owens (Dry) Lake,California     

Lila Rojo  Melanie A. Barnes  Thomas E. Gill 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2012,36(1):83-102

Particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) and ICP‐AES can be combined to obtain a wider range of detected elements, augment previous data and/or to verify measured concentrations of heavy and trace metals in geological samples. Intercomparison of data sets generated by multiple techniques is challenging due to the differing processes and methods of each technique. Here, we compare elemental data obtained by both techniques for aeolian dust from Owens (Dry) Lake, California. Nineteen elements were detected by PIXE, sixteen by ICP‐AES and ten elements were detected by both techniques. Statistical analyses of data set groupings illustrated which parameters differed significantly between PIXE and ICP‐AES. Relative variation (%) showed that PIXE gave higher concentrations than ICP‐AES for Al, As, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Ni, Sr, Ti and Zn in all samples. For As, Cu, Sr and Zn, relative variation was variable between the techniques. PIXE detection limits exceeded ICP‐AES concentrations for Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Pb and Mo. Low ICP‐AES percentage recoveries of Al, Fe, K, Mn and Ti for NIST SRM 2710 indicated incomplete dissolution during digestion (EPA Method 3050B), since elements were bound in silicate structures. Variability between the two data sets is explained by differences between analytical techniques, sample preparation methods and/or variability in sample matrices.  相似文献   

The opacity of spiral galaxy disks: IX. Dust and gas surface densities     

B.W. Holwerda  R.J. Allen  W.J.G. de Blok  A. Bouchard  R.A. Gonzlez‐Lpezlira  P.C. van der Kruit  A. Leroy 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2013,334(3):268-281

Our aim is to explore the relation between gas, atomic and molecular, and dust in spiral galaxies. Gas surface densities are from atomic hydrogen and CO line emission maps. To estimate the dust content, we use the disk opacity as inferred from the number of distant galaxies identified in twelve HST/WFPC2 fields of ten nearby spiral galaxies. The observed number of distant galaxies is calibrated for source confusion and crowding with artificial galaxy counts and here we verify our results with sub‐mm surface brightnesses from archival Herschel ‐SPIRE data. We find that the opacity of the spiral disk does not correlate well with the surface density of atomic (H I) or molecular hydrogen (H₂) alone implying that dust is not only associated with the molecular clouds but also the diffuse atomic disk in these galaxies. Our result is a typical dust‐to‐gas ratio of 0.04, with some evidence that this ratio declines with galactocentric radius, consistent with recent Herschel results. We discuss the possible causes of this high dust‐to‐gas ratio; an over‐estimate of the dust surface‐density, an under‐estimate of the molecular hydrogen density from CO maps or a combination of both. We note that while our value of the mean dust‐to‐gas ratio is high, it is consistent with the metallicity at the measured radii if one assumes the Pilyugin & Thuan (2005) calibration of gas metallicity.

不同粒级组分碳酸盐与碳同位素分布特征及其对风尘物源的指示意义     

谢远云  康春国  孟杰  郭令芬  何葵 《沉积学报》2013,31(3)

在科尔沁沙地采集沙地表土样品16组,松嫩平原杜蒙沙地样品15组,同期还收集了城市道路表土样品10组,对各组样品进行粒度分级(全样、＞ 63 μm、63 ～ 30 μm、30 ～ 11 μm和＜11 μm),分别测定碳酸盐含量和碳同位素组成.结果显示,不同区域不同性质样品各粒级组分碳酸盐含量的变化幅度不同,科尔沁沙地最小(0.8％),其次为杜蒙沙地(1.9％),道路表土最大(2.7％).大部分杜蒙沙地样品(66.7％)和小部分科尔沁沙地样品(37.5％)以及全部道路表土样品的碳酸盐含量随粒度变细而增大,且变化模式各不相同.碳酸盐含量随粒度变细而增高是非匀速的,先是增幅较大(＞ 63 μm-→63 ～ 30μm→30～ 11 μm),后增幅较小(30～11μm→＜11μm).沙地样品碳酸盐含量与粒度的关系并不限于随粒度变细而增大这一种,风成砂和经历过强烈成壤作用改造的沙地样品中的碳酸盐含量与粒度的关系皆表现为随粒度变细而减小,沉积物中碳酸盐含量随粒径变细而增高是否是一种普遍规律还需要更多区域的更多样品来检验.大部分沙地样品和道路表土样品不同粒级组分的碳酸盐δ13C值变化范围较小(＜1.8‰),并表现出随粒度变细而趋于偏正的特征,但变化幅度很小.杜蒙沙地和科尔沁沙地碳酸盐含量的地区差异性极不明显,且各粒级组分碳酸盐含量的变化幅度大大超过了杜蒙沙地与科尔沁沙地的碳酸盐差异值,不能作为区分杜蒙沙地和科尔沁沙地风尘源区的示踪指标;而科尔沁沙地和杜蒙沙地碳酸盐δ13C组成存在明显差异(在63 ～ 30 μm粒级组分表现最为明显),且不同粒级组分碳酸盐δ13C值差别较小,说明它是一个比碳酸盐含量更好的风尘源区示踪指标,但是不同粒级组分碳酸盐δ13C组成的差异会随离中国西部沙漠沙地风尘源区距离的加大或者风尘物质成壤作用的增强而变大,增加其风尘源区示踪的复杂性.  相似文献   

“洞察”号能够完成火星内部结构探测的使命吗?     

刘澜波 《地球与行星物理论评》2021,(1)

本文聚焦于“洞察”号(InSight)的SEIS项目,介绍它的主要科研目标,以及已有的初步探测与解释成果.作者试图就“洞察”号能在什么程度上实现对火星内部结构探测的科研目标作出评论.评论从三个方面展开:即它能够基本回答的问题,部分回答的问题,及基本上不可能回答的问题.基于到目前为止的观测事实,可以说SEIS的数据分析结果对“洞察”号着陆点附近的浅地表结构会有精细的描述;对火星壳层的局部结构会有相当的了解.有可能会对火星上部幔层结构提供一些比以前更为严密的约束.但是,到目前为止SEIS数据对人类加深对于火星核结构了解的贡献应该是相对有限的.主要原因是缺乏能量足够大的震源来产生传播于整个火星的波动场.  相似文献

根据气溶胶成分的光学特性,气溶胶可简化为五种成分组成：一类是吸收性的成分,包括黑碳(BC)、吸收性有机碳(BrC)、沙尘(DU);另一类是散射性成分硫酸铵(AS);还有一类是气溶胶中的重要成分——水分(AW)。本文基于太阳-太空辐射计获取的气溶胶微物理特性资料,对北京2013年1月灰霾过程气溶胶中这五种成分的含量进行了定量反演研究。结果表明,灰霾天气下气溶胶中BC,BrC,DU,AS和AW的体积比例为2%,9%,30%,33%和26%,而清洁天气分别为3%,3%,15%,71%和8%。对于质量浓度,灰霾天气下BC,BrC,DU,AS和AW分别是7,35,166,131和73 mg/m2;而清洁天气下分别为4,4,29,78和6 mg/m2,两者的成分比例有显著差别。反演的黑碳质量浓度,以及细粒子的质量浓度分别与黑碳仪的观测和环保部公布的PM2.5的质量浓度具有很好的一致性,相关系数（R2）分别为0.45和0.85。  相似文献   

Eolian Dust Erosion from an Agricultural Field on the North Carolina Coastal Plain     

《自然地理学》2013,34(5):381-400

Eolian erosion typically has not been considered a significant process on the humid southeastern coastal plain of the United States. A preliminary study of eolian erosion from an agricultural field was undertaken during the late winter of 2002 and early spring of 1999. During those times local agricultural practices leave fields bare while frontal systems produce frequent high wind events. Dust emissions were measured with two samplers; modified Wilson and Cooke passive dust traps and high-volume air samplers. Results of the study indicate that wind erosion is a significant process on agricultural fields of the North Carolina Coastal plain. Dust flux off of the field during the largest of five measured events was estimated as high as 126 kg/m with total losses of 3070 kg/ha. Atmospheric concentrations of suspended material were measured at 58,815 μgm^-3. Sediment erosion was not evenly distributed across the field. Erosion was focused over soils that are better drained. Low levels of soil moisture did not eliminate erosion but instead produced pulses of sediment emission as sustained wind continually dried then activated sequential layers of the field surface. Soil moisture and topography appear to be the primary controls on spatial erosion differences and soil characteristics likely play a secondary role.  相似文献   

Vertical distribution characteristics of dust aerosol mass concentration in the Taklimakan Desert hinterland

The different height mass concentrations of dust aerosol data from the atmosphere environment observation station （Ta- zhong Station） was continuously observed by instruments of Grimm 1.108, Thermo RP 1400a and TSP from January of 2009 to February of 2010 in the Taklimakan Desert hinterland. Results show that： （1） The mass concentration value of 80 m PMl0 was higher, but PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentrations at 80 m was obviously lower than 4 m PMl0, and the value of 80 m PM1.0 mass concentration was the lowest. （2） The PM mass concentrations gradually decreased from night to sunrise, with the lowest concentration at 08：00, with the mass concentration gradually increased, up to the highest concentration around 18：00, and then decreased again. It was exactly the same with the changes of wind speed. （3） The high monthly average mass concentration of TSP mainly appeared from March to September, and the highest concentration was in April and May, subsequently gradually decreased. Also, March-September was a period with high value area of PM monthly average mass concentration, with the highest monthly average mass concentration of 846.0 p.g/m3 for 4 m PM~0 appeared in May. The concentration of PM10 was much higher than those of PM2.5 and PM1.0 at 80 m. There is a small difference between the concentration of PM2.5 and PM~ 0. Dust weather was the main factor which influenced the concentration content of the different diameter dust aerosol, and the more dust weather days, the higher content of coarse particle, conversely, fine particle was more. （4） The mass concentration of different diameter aerosols had the following sequence during dust weather： clear day 〈 blowing dust 〈 floating and blowing dust 〈 sandstorm. In different dust weather, the value of PM~o/TSP in fine weather was higher than that in floating weather, and much higher than those in blowing dust and sandstorm weather. （5） During the dust weather process, dust aerosol concentration gradually decreased with particle size decreasing. The dust aerosol mass concentration at different heights and diameter would have a peak value area every 3-4 days according to the strengthening process of dust weather.  相似文献
