Emission-line profiles from self-gravitating toroids around black holes     

Fumihiko Usui  Shogo Nishida  & Yoshiharu Eriguchi 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1998,301(3):721-728

We have computed line profiles from self-gravitating toroids around black holes. The specific angular momentum of the toroids is assumed to be constant in space. The images of the toroids show peculiar features in the far sides of the black holes. Concerning the line profiles, the red wing extends to the very low frequency region because the location of the inner edge is rather near the event horizon of the black hole and consequently the velocity of the inner edges of the toroids can be greater than that of the Kepler discs.  相似文献

Two-dimensional sensitivity kernels for cross-correlation functions of background surface waves     

Kiwamu Nishida 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2011,343(8-9):584-590

Ambient noise tomography has now been applied at scales ranging from local to global. To discuss the theoretical background of the technique, a simple form of a two-dimensional (2-D) Born sensitivity kernel was developed at a finite frequency for a cross-correlation function (CCF) of background surface waves. The use of far field representations of a Green’s function and a CCF in a spherically symmetric Earth model, assuming a homogeneous source distribution, is an efficient approach to the calculation of phase sensitivity kernels. The forms of a phase sensitivity kernel for major and minor arc propagations are the same as those for phase-velocity measurements of earthquake data. This result indicates the validity of ambient noise tomography under the given assumptions; however, the kernels are not equivalent in the case of an inhomogeneous source distribution.  相似文献

Density measurements of liquid Fe–Si alloys at high pressure using the sink–float method     

Ryuji Tateyama  Eiji Ohtani  Hidenori Terasaki  Keisuke Nishida  Yuki Shibazaki  Akio Suzuki  Takumi Kikegawa 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(10):801-807

The compositional dependence on the density of liquid Fe alloys under high pressure is important for estimating the amount of light elements in the Earth’s outer core. Here, we report on the density of liquid Fe–Si at 4 GPa and 1,923 K measured using the sink–float method and our investigation on the effect of the Si content on the density of the liquid. Our experiments show that the density of liquid Fe–Si decreases from 7.43 to 2.71 g/cm³ non-linearly with increasing Si content (0–100 at%). The molar volume of liquid Fe–Si calculated from the measured density gradually decreases in the compositional range 0–50 at% Si, and increases in the range 50–100 at% Si. It should be noted that the estimated molar volume of the alloys shows a negative volume of mixing between Fe and Si. This behaviour is similar to Fe–S liquid (Nishida et al. in Phys Chem Miner 35:417–423, 2008). However, the excess molar volume of mixing for the liquid Fe–Si is smaller than that of liquid Fe–S. The light element contents in the outer core estimated previously may be an underestimation if we take into account the possible negative value of the excess mixing volume of iron–light element alloys in the outer core.  相似文献   

Sound velocities of Na0.4Mg0.6Al1.6Si0.4O4 NAL and CF phases to 73 GPa determined by Brillouin scattering method     

Lidong Dai  Yuki Kudo  Kei Hirose  Motohiko Murakami  Yuki Asahara  Haruka Ozawa  Yasuo Ohishi  Naohisa Hirao 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2013,40(3):195-201

The sound velocities of two aluminum-rich phases in the lower mantle, hexagonal new Al-rich phase (NAL) and its corresponding high-pressure polymorph orthorhombic Ca-ferrite-type phase (CF), were determined with the Brillouin scattering method in a pressure range from 9 to 73 GPa at room temperature. Both NAL and CF samples have identical chemical composition of Na_0.4Mg_0.6Al_1.6Si_0.4O₄ (40 % NaAlSiO₄–60 % MgAl₂O₄). Infrared laser annealing in the diamond anvil cell was performed to minimize the stress state of the sample and obtain the high-quality Brillouin spectra. The results show shear modulus at zero pressure G ₀ = 121.960 ± 0.087 GPa and its pressure derivative G’ = 1.961 ± 0.009 for the NAL phase, and G ₀ = 129.653 ± 0.059 GPa and G’ = 2.340 ± 0.004 for the CF phase. The zero-pressure shear velocities of the NAL and CF phases are obtained to be 5.601 ± 0.005 km/sec and 5.741 ± 0.001 km/sec, respectively. We also found that shear velocity increases by 2.5 % upon phase transition from NAL to CF at around 40 GPa.  相似文献   

Extreme Infrared Stars Discovered in Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters     

T. Tanabé  S. Nishida  Y. Nakada  T. Onaka  I.S. Glass  M. Sauvage 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1997,255(1-2):407-413

We report preliminary results of our systematic survey for infrared stars in the globular clusters of the Magellanic Clouds. In the course of an ISOCAM survey for AGB stars in the intermediate-age clusters, we have discovered extremely red AGB stars in NGC 419 and NGC 1978. From their colours and luminosities, they are thought to be experiencing intense mass-loss and to be in the final or superwind phase of the AGB evolution. However, they seem to be of somewhat lower luminosity than the corresponding visible AGB stars when only the mid-infrared data are taken into account. This suggests that hitherto unobserved infrared excesses may exist at longer wavelengths. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Classification of Japanese rivers by heavy metals in bottom mud     

Fumi Tada  Hideo Nishida  Masaya Miyai  Shizuo Suzuki 《Environmental Geology》1982,4(3-4):217-222

Bottom mud was collected from the upper and lower reaches of 92 rivers in Japan to determine the distribution of 0.5N-HCI-soluble heavy metals. The average concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the mud from the lower reaches were from two to three times higher than those in the upper reaches. Japanese rivers were classified according to the degree of heavy metal pollution by using the values of 0.5N-HCI-soluble metals in the lower reaches of rivers. The content of 0.5N-HCI-soluble heavy metals in the mud of the upper reaches was used as the standard value. The classification of rivers was made by a cluster analysis according to Euclidian distance. As a result, rivers in Japan could be classified into three groups based on the degree of metal pollution, and the classification was in agreement with the pollution index.  相似文献

Thinning of the near-earth (10∼15 R_E) plasma sheet preceding the substorm expansion phase     

A. Nishida  K. Fujii 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(9):849-853

The timing of the plasma-sheet thinning relative to the onset of the expansion phase of substorms is examined by the analysis of the OGO 5 electron (79 ± 23 keV) and proton (100～150 keV) data with the aid of simultaneous magnetic field observations. It is found that the timing of the thinning is significantly dependent on the distance. At $\text{x}{}^2\text{+ y}{}^2\text{? 15 R}{}_{\mathrm{E}}$ the thinning often starts before the onset, while at $\text{x}{}^2\text{+ y}{}^2\text{? 15 R}{}_{\mathrm{E}}$ it tends to occur after the onset, where x and y refer to solar magnetospheric coordinates. The thinning that precedes the expansion-phase onset has been found to reduce the thickness to ～1 R_E, and further thinning may occur in a spatially limited region. Hence it is conceivable that the formation of the neutral line characterizing the substorm expansion phase is the consequence of the thinning of the plasma sheet in the near-Earth region.  相似文献
