利用多普勒双偏振多参数气象雷达,结合地面LD-Ⅱ闪电定位仪资料,对一次中尺度对流强风暴云的雷电过程进行观测分析。结果表明,闪电发生前后,对流云上部的差分传播相移率KDP、差分反射率因子ZDR和差相移φDP有明显的变化,反映出云中冰相粒子排列取向随云中电场分布结构的变化而变化。这种闪电发生时冰相粒子排列取向存在明显变化的信息,说明用多参数气象雷达探测的技术以及开展雷电预警预报是可行的。  相似文献   

LO Pegasi: an investigation of multiband optical polarization     

J. C. Pandey  Biman J. Medhi  R. Sagar  A. K. Pandey 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,396(2):1004-1011

We present BVR polarimetric study of the cool active star LO Pegasi (LO Peg) for the first time. LO Peg was found to be highly polarized among the cool active stars. Our observations yield average values of polarization in LO Peg:   P_B = 0.387 ± 0.004 per cent, θ_B= 88°± 1°; P_V = 0.351 ± 0.004 per cent, θ_V= 91°± 1°  and   P_R = 0.335 ± 0.003 per cent, θ_R= 91°± 1°  . Both the degree of polarization and the position angle are found to be variable. The semi-amplitude of the polarization variability in B, V and R bands is found to be  0.18 ± 0.02, 0.13 ± 0.01  and  0.10 ± 0.02  per cent, respectively. We suggest that the levels of polarization observed in LO Peg could be the result of scattering of an anisotropic stellar radiation field by an optically thin circumstellar envelope or scattering of the stellar radiation by prominence-like structures.  相似文献   

Mapping the magnetosphere of PSR B1055−52     

Patrick Weltevrede  Geoff Wright 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,395(4):2117-2126

We present a geometric study of the radio and γ-ray pulsar B1055−52 based on recent observations at the Parkes radio telescope. We conclude that the pulsar's magnetic axis is inclined at an angle of 75° to its rotation axis and that both its radio main pulse and interpulse are emitted at the same height above their respective poles. This height is unlikely to be higher or much lower than 700 km, a typical value for radio pulsars.
It is argued that the radio interpulse arises from emission formed on open fieldlines close to the magnetic axis which do not pass through the magnetosphere's null (zero-charge) surface. However, the main pulse emission must originate from fieldlines lying well outside the polar cap boundary beyond the null surface, and farther away from the magnetic axis than those of the outer gap region where the single γ-ray peak is generated. This casts doubt on the common assumption that all pulsars have closed, quiescent, corotating regions stretching to the light cylinder.  相似文献   

The topology and polarization of subbeams associated with the 'drifting' subpulse emission of pulsar B0943+10 – V. A new look at the low-frequency burst-mode emission     

Svetlana A. Suleymanova  Joanna M. Rankin 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2009,396(2):870-877

This paper reports new observations of pulsar B0943+10 carried out at the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO) at the low radio frequencies of 42, 62 and 112 MHz. B0943+10 is well known for its exquisitely regular burst-mode (B-mode) drifting subpulses as well as its weaker and chaotic quiescent mode. Earlier Arecibo investigations at 327 MHz have identified remarkable, continuous changes in its B-mode subpulse drift rate and integrated-profile shape with durations of several hours. These PRAO observations reveal that the changes in profile shape during the B-mode lifetime are strongly frequency dependent – namely the measured changes in the component amplitude ratio are more dramatic at 327 and 112 MHz as compared with those at 62 and 42 MHz. The differences, however, are most marked during the first several tens of minutes after B-mode onset; after an hour or so the profile shape changes tend to be more similar at all four frequencies. We also have found that the linear polarization of the integrated profile increases continuously throughout the lifetime of the B mode, going from hardly 10 per cent just after onset to some 40–50 per cent after several hours. Pulsar B0943+10's B mode thus provides a unique new opportunity to investigate continuous systematic changes in the plasma flow within the polar flux tube. While refraction in the pulsar's magnetosphere may well play some role, we find that the various frequency-dependent effects, both between and within the two modes, can largely be understood geometrically. If the modes and B-mode decay reflect systematic variations in the carousel-'spark' radius and emission height then a specific set of profile and linear polarization changes would be expected.  相似文献   

怀4井气体取样对水位观测干扰的解决措施

怀4井水位观测一直存在取气样所造成的干扰,其表现为水位分钟值曲线每天出现有规律的向上脉冲式突跳且持续时间较长,这使得数据连续率及完整率降低。为改变怀4井长期存在的取气样影响水位观测的现状,减少水位观测数据突跳次数,提高观测质量精度,针对取气样方式进行改进,采用球胆排水真空脱气法进行溶解气样品的采集与脱气,避开直接在泄流口采样时的压力效应,从而解决了水位观测中遇到的实际问题。  相似文献   

利用激发极化驰豫时间谱确定渗透率的实验研究   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

激发极化驰豫时间是孔隙大小的函数,采用奇异值分解方法对激发极化衰减曲线进行多指数反演,得到光滑的驰豫时间谱,该谱呈现多峰特性.实验结果表明,溶质对该谱的影响主要是由于溶质离子的扩散系数不同所致.对于同一块岩心,衰减谱随扩散系数的增大而向小驰豫时间方向移动.结合岩心地层因素F,研究了激发极化驰豫时间几何平均值Tg与岩石的渗透率K的关系,结果表明,logK和log(T1/2g/F)、log(Tg/F)呈现良好的线性关系.  相似文献

CMB temperature polarization correlation and primordial gravitational waves     

A. G. Polnarev  N. J. Miller  B. G. Keating 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2008,386(2):1053-1063

We examine the use of the TE cross-correlation power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as a complementary test to detect primordial gravitational waves (PGWs). The first method used is based on the determination of the lowest multipole, ℓ₀, where the TE power spectrum,   C ^TE_ℓ  , first changes sign. The second method uses Wiener filtering on the CMB TE data to remove the density perturbations contribution to the TE power spectrum. In principle this leaves only the contribution of PGWs. We examine two toy experiments (one ideal and another more realistic) to see their ability to constrain PGWs using the TE power spectrum alone. We found that an ideal experiment, one limited only by cosmic variance, can detect PGWs with a ratio of tensor to scalar metric perturbation power spectra   r = 0.3  at 99.9 per cent confidence level using only the TE correlation. This value is comparable with current constraints obtained by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe based on the 2σ upper limits to the B-mode amplitude. We demonstrate that to measure PGWs by their contribution to the TE cross-correlation power spectrum in a realistic ground-based experiment when real instrumental noise is taken into account, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r , should be approximately three times larger.  相似文献   

Grain alignment in dense interstellar environments: spectropolarimetry of the 4.67-μm CO-ice feature in the field star Elias 16 (Taurus dark cloud)     

J. H. Hough  D. K. Aitken  D. C. B. Whittet  A. J. Adamson  A. Chrysostomou 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2008,387(2):797-802

We present spectropolarimetry of the solid CO feature at 4.67 μm along the line of sight to Elias 16, a field star background to the Taurus dark cloud. A clear increase in polarization is observed across the feature with the peak of polarization shifted in wavelength relative to the peak of absorption. This shows that dust grains in dense, cold environments (temperatures ∼20 K or less) can align and produce polarization by dichroic absorption. For a grain model, consisting of a core with a single mantle, the polarization feature is best modelled by a thick CO mantle, possibly including 10 per cent water-ice, with the volume ratio of mantle to bare grain of ∼5. Radiative torques could be responsible for the grain alignment provided the grain radius is at least 0.5 μm. This would require the grain cores to have a radius of at least 0.3 μm, much larger than grain sizes in the diffuse interstellar medium. Sizes of this order seem reasonable on the basis of independent evidence for grain growth by coagulation, as well as mantle formation, inside dense clouds.  相似文献   

Investigation of the linear polarization in infrared absorption bands     

T. V. Zinov’eva 《Astronomy Letters》2008,34(2):118-132

We consider the effects of the grain size, shape, structure, and chemical composition as well as the angle between the grain rotation axis and the incident ray on the full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of the polarization bands in the two deepest infrared absorption bands observed in the spectra of protostars, the water-ice band centered at 3.1 μm and the silicate band centered at 9.7 μm, using a core—mantle confocal spheroid model with various axial ratios a/b and relative volumes of the core material. We have found that the observed polarization bands with FWHM_p < 0.3 μm in the water-ice absorption band can be explained only by oblate and prolate particles with r _v ≤ 0.35 μm and the polarization bands with FWHM_p ≈ 0.3 μm can be explained only by particles with r _v ≈ 0.35 μm. Broad silicate absorption bands (FWHM ≈ 3 μm) with broad polarization bands (FWHM_p ≈ 2.7 μm) can be explained by particles with r _v ≈ 0.35 μm. Narrow silicate absorption bands (FWHM ≤ 3 μm) with any FWHM of the polarization bands can be explained by a mixture of particles of two types of olivine. Narrow polarization bands (FWHM_p ≈ 2 μm) with broad absorption bands can be explained only by very small particles, r _v ≤ 0.1 μm. We have found the relationships between the effective polarization and extinction cross sections and estimated the ranges of observed polarizabilities that can be explained by particles of given shape and orientation in each of the bands independently. Independent studies of the observational data for each of the bands are shown to give a wider choice of particle model parameters.  相似文献
