A model for the hydrogen coma of a comet     

Yoshimi Kitamura  Osamu Ashihara  Tetsuo Yamamoto 《Icarus》1985,61(2):278-295

A model for the hydrogen coma of a comet on the basis of the Monte Carlo method is presented. In this model isotropic ejections of H atoms produced by photodissociation of H₂O and OH, thermalization of the H atoms due to collisions with ambient H₂O molecules, and the solar radiation pressure have been taken into account. A production spectrum of H atoms from OH is evaluated by using the predissociation rates and the level populations of OH, confirming that the spectrum has a sharp peak around 8.0 km sec^?1 with the standard deviation of 0.1 km sec^?1. Including the above effects, velocity distribution functions of the H atoms at various positions in the coma for the first time, as well as their density and outflow velocity profiles, have been calculated. It is pointed out that the collisional thermalization process in the inner coma is an important factor at small heliocentric distances in determining the density profiles and the velocity distributions. It is shown that thermalization leads to an increase in the H density in the inner coma larger than those expected from other models such as the vectorial model, in which collision is not taken into account. Lyman α isophotes and its line profiles in the optically thin region are computed by using the velocity distribution function.  相似文献   

Spectrophotometric scan of comet 1973 XII Kohoutek     

Hisashi S. Ishii  Tetsuo Yamamoto  Shin'ichi Tamura 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1981,25(4):437-450

Photoelectric spectrophotometric scans of Comet 1973 XII Kohoutek were made on November 25.85 and 28.85 UT, 1973. The vibrational temperature of C₂, the total numbers of CN and of C₂, and the production rates for CN and C₂ are derived from the observed fluxes. The temperature of C₂ was 4900 K on 25.85 November and 4300 K on 28.85 November. Mean abundance ratio of C₂ to CN was about 2.7. From the variation of production rates with heliocentric distance, it is shown that there was an outburst on 25.85 November in both CN and C₂ productions. For C₂, the production rates are derived by using two coma models, i.e. the Haser's parent-daughter model and the model relevant to a proposition of Yamamoto (1981b) that C₂ is formed via two-step photodissociation of its parent molecules. By comparing the production rate derived from the two models, it can be supported that C₂ is formed via two-step photodissociation rather than one-step photodissociation. In consequence, it is shown that the variation of the production rate with heliocentric distance is largely modified compared with that derived from the Haser's model.  相似文献   

In situ stress measurements in a borehole close to the Nojima Fault   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Abstract In situ stress was measured close to the fault associated with the 1995 Kobe Earthquake (Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake; January 1995; M 7.2) using the hydraulic fracturing method. The measurements were made approximately 2 years after the earthquake. The measured points were approximately 40 m from the fault plane at depths of about 1500 m. The maximum and the minimum horizontal compressive stresses were 45 MPa and 31 MPa, respectively. The maximum compressive stress and the maximum shear stress are very small in comparison with those of other seismically active areas. The azimuth of the maximum horizontal compressive stress was estimated from the observed azimuths of well bore breakouts at depths between 1400 m and 1600 m and was found to be N135° (clockwise). The maximum stress axis is perpendicular to the fault strike, N45°. These features are interpreted in terms of a small frictional coefficient of the fault. The shear stress on the fault was released and dropped almost to zero during the earthquake and it has not yet recovered. Zero shear stress on the fault plane resulted from the perpendicular orientation of one of the principal stress to the fault plane.  相似文献   

A Numerical Simulation of the Seasonal Cycle of Temperature, Salinity and Velocity Fields in Tokyo Bay     

Fumio Horiguchi  Joji Yamamoto  Kisaburo Nakata 《Marine pollution bulletin》2001,43(7-12):145-153

To understand when oxygen-depleted waters occur, how they develop and when they dissipate in inner Tokyo Bay, realistic simulations were attempted with fine spatial and temporal resolution by applying realistic time dependent external forcing. A 3D hydrodynamic model was driven by time-dependent external forcing factors/parameters such as solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, and fluvial discharge, under the open boundary conditions of 1995. A simulated time series of salinity and temperature agreed fairly well with observed data, except in summer. The model failed to reproduce the development of the surface mixed layer in summer. Several sensitivity analyses on the external forcing parameters such as wind velocity and vertical diffusivity were conducted to reproduce the mixed layer. However, changing these parameter values did not improve the model results.  相似文献   

An interpretation of the 1883 cataclysmic eruption of Krakatau from geochemical studies on the partial melting of granite     

Noboru Ōba Dr.  Katsutoshi Tomita Dr.  Masahiko Yamamoto Dr. 《GeoJournal》1992,28(2):99-108

Pumice flow from the 1883 Krakatau eruption significantly differs in both mineral and chemical compositions from any other volcanic rocks or ejecta of the Krakatau group, which belong to the tholeiitic series. Lithic fragments of granitic Rock, discovered in the pumice flow, are similar to West Malayan granitic rocks. No other granitic rock occurs throughout the Krakatau group, therefore, we consider that the granitic fragments came from the underlying complex at depths, where they were captured as foreign materials by the magma.It is possible that sialic crustal materials plunged into depths along a peculiar tectonic structure located at the Sunda Strait, which appears to be a sheared portion caused by deformation of the Sunda arc due to differential movement between the Indo-Australian oceanic plate and the Eurasian continental crust. The crustal materials were partially melted and produced a magma of granitic composition. The magma was mixed with or assimilated by an ascending basaltic magma originating probably from the upper mantle. This resulted in a dacitic magma distinctly dominant in silica, alkalis and volatile components, and the 1883 Krakatau eruption, characterized by the pumice flow of dacitic composition, took place.  相似文献   

APPLICATION OF MEM SPECTRAL ESTIMATION TO MU RADAR OBSERVATION   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

Li Wei  L&#;Daren  Shoichiro Fukao  Mamoru Yamamoto  Toshitaka Tsu  Susumu Kato 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1991,5(3):293-298

Preliminary results of the wind velocity estimation using the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) to MUradar observation data sets are presented. The comparison of the results from the periodogram method and theMEM shows that the MEM estimation is reliable, and has higher accuracy, resolution and detectability than theestimation from periodogram method. The high accuracy power spectrum obtained by the MEM is veryuseful to studying the atmospheric turbulence structure. However. the MEM needs the longer computingtime for obtaining the high accuracy spectrum. Particularly, the estimation of MEM will bring serious devia-tion at lower signal-to-noise ratio.  相似文献   

Chemical variations of magmas at Izu-Oshima volcano,Japan: plagioclase-controlled and differentiated magmas     

Shun Nakano  Takahiro Yamamoto 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1991,53(2):112-120

Systematic analyses of the major-element chemistry of products of several eruptions during syn-and post-caldera stages of Izu-Oshima volcano were compiled. Comparisons of the products of large-scale eruptions in 1338?, 1421? and 1777–1778, of intermediate-scale eruptions in 1950–1951 and 1986, and of small-scale eruptions in 1954, 1964 and 1974 clearly show the existence of two types of magmas. One is “plagioclase-controlled” and the other is “differentiated” magma (multimineral-controlled); i.e. the bulk chemistry of the first magma type is controlled by plagioclase addition or removal, while that of the second type is controlled by fractionation of plagioclase, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and titanomagnetite. Eruptions of Izu-Oshima volcano have occurred at the summit and along the flanks. Summit eruptions tap only plagioclase-controlled magmas, while flank eruptions supply both magma types. It is considered unlikely that both magma types would coexist in the same magma chamber based on the petrology. In the case of the 1986 eruption, the flank magma was isolated sometime in the past from the summit magma chamber or central conduit, and formed small magma pockets, where further differentiation occurred due to relatively rapid cooling. In a period of quiescence prior to the 1986 eruption, new magma was supplied to the summit magma chamber, and the summit eruption began. The dike intrusion or fracturing around the small magma pockets triggered the flank eruption of the differentiated magma. This model can be applied to the large-scale flank eruption in 1338(?) which erupted differentiated magmas. In 1421(?), the flank eruption tapped plagioclase-controlled magma. In this case, the isolated magmas from the summit magma chamber directly penetrated the flank without differentiation.  相似文献

Relationship between Se/S and sulfur isotope ratios of hydrothermal sulfide minerals     

M. Yamamoto 《Mineralium Deposita》1976,11(2):197-209

The pH and f_{O 2} dependences of the [Se^2–]/[S^2–] ratio in chloride solutions at 100°, 200° and 300°C are predicted thermodynamically. Under the high f_{O 2} conditions where sulfate species are dominant in solution, the [Se^2–]/[S^2–] ratio always increases with increasing pH and/or f_{O 2}. Under the low f_{O 2} conditions where sulfide species are dominant in solution, the pH and f_{O 2} dependences of the [Se^2–]/[S^2–] ratio are seriously affected by the presence of native selenium. With native selenium present, the [Se^2–]/[S^2–] ratio decreases with increasing f_{O 2}, but almost independent of pH in geologically important pH regions. When native selenium is absent, the [Se^2–]/[S^2–] ratio is solely a function of pH and independent of f_{O 2}. Combining the above with the pH and f_{O 2} dependences of ³⁴S value of aqueous sulfur species, we discuss the possible influences of the pH and f_{O 2} of ore-forming solutions on the relationship between the Se/S ratio and ³⁴S value of hydrothermal sulfide minerals. The results are applied to some Japanese sulfide ore deposits.  相似文献
