Coronal Magnetic Field Context of Simple CMEs Inferred from Global Potential Field Models

Most work on coronal mass ejection (CME) interpretation focuses on the involved active region rather than on the large-scale coronal context. In this paper a global potential-field source-surface model of the coronal magnetic field is used to evaluate the sensitivity of the coronal field configuration to the location, orientation, and strength of a bipolar active region relative to a background polar field distribution. The results suggest that the introduction of antiparallel components between the field of the active region and the background field can cause significant topological changes in the large-scale coronal magnetic field resembling observations during some simple CMEs. Antiparallel components can be introduced in the real corona by the diffusion and convection of photospheric fields, flux emergence, or erupted or shear-induced twist of active-region fields. Global MHD models with time-dependent boundary conditions could easily test the stability of such configurations and the nature of any related transients.  相似文献

We have measured near-infrared colorsof the binary Kuiper Belt object (KBO)1998 WW₃₁ using the Subaru Telescope withadaptive optics. The satellite was detectednear its perigee and apogee(0.18“ and 1.2” apart from the primary).The primary and the satellite have similar H–Kcolors, while the satellite is redder thanthe primary in J–H. Combined with the Rband magnitude previously published byVeillet et al., 2002, the color of the primaryis consistent with that of optically red KBOs. Thesatellite's R-, J-, H-colors suggest thepresence of ～1 μm absorption band dueto rock-forming minerals. If the surface of thesatellite is mainly composed by olivine, thesatellite's albedo is higher value than the canonicallyassumed value of 4%.  相似文献   

Global adjustment of star positions for the compilation of independent catalogs     

Masanori Yoshizawa  Shunsaku Suzuki 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1991,177(1-2):471-473

Presented is a method of global adjustment of stars' right ascensions for the compilation of an independent catalog obtained with a meridian circle. The concept of the problem is shown first, in which corrections to the catalog positions of observed stars can be determined directly by solving a set of observation equations constructed over many of nights. Some parameters such as clock correction, azimuth of artificial azimuth marks, and the correction to an adopted value of the latitude are assumed to vary regularly over the observation period. The present method is applied to the determination of the absolute azimuth of the Tokyo PMC by using upper and lower transits of azimuth stars.  相似文献   

Soil radon in winter months under snowpack in Hokkaido, Japan

Soil radon (²²²Rn) has been monitored during winter months under cool-temperate deciduous stands of different surface geology in Tomakomai and in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Radon level was lower in Tomakomai of immature soil of porous volcanic ash emitted from an active volcano (Mt. Tarumae), compared with those in Sapporo of alluvial sediments. In Tomakomai, mean value of the ²²²Rn activity concentration was higher in winter (570 Bq m^?3) than in summer (350 Bq m^?3) at a depth of 1 m, which is consistent with the results in cold and dry winter reported in the literature. In contrast, soil radon decreasing with decreasing soil temperature from mid-September (5.0 kBq m^?3) remained low (2.6 kBq m^?3) under persistent snow in Sapporo, which had already been observed in the same location. Measurements of the activity concentrations of ²²²Rn in snow and in snow air as well as in soil air indicate that the small amount of ²²²Rn is released from the ground surface to the overlying snowpack with a ²²²Rn flux density of 0.4 mBq m^?2 s^?1 under thick snow cover in Sapporo.  相似文献

Trace-element compositions of single fluid inclusions in the Kofu granite, Japan: Implications for compositions of granite-derived fluids     

Masanori  Kurosawa  Satoshi  Ishii  Kimikazu  Sasa 《Island Arc》2010,19(1):40-59

Fluid inclusions in quartz from miarolitic cavities, pegmatites, and quartz veins in Miocene biotite-granite plutons, Kofu, Japan, were analyzed by particle-induced X-ray emission to examine chemistries and behaviors of granite-derived fluids in island-arc granite. Most inclusions are aqueous two-phase inclusions, and halite-bearing polyphase inclusions are also observed in quartz veins in the upper part of the plutons. From element contents of fluid inclusions in the miarolitic cavities, the original fluid released from the granite plutons during solidification is inferred to have concentrations of Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ge, Br, Rb, Pb, and Ba of several tens to hundreds of parts per million by weight (ppm) and a salinity of about 10 wt% NaCl equivalent. We estimated the formation conditions of the fluid to have been at about 1.3–1.9 kb and 530–600°C on the basis of the homogenization temperatures of the inclusions and the solidification conditions of the plutons. The polyphase inclusions probably originated from hypersaline fluid by boiling of part of the released fluid during its ascent in the plutons. The polyphase inclusions contain several hundreds to tens of thousands of ppm of Fe and Mn, and tens to several hundreds of ppm of Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, and Pb. The salinities are about 35 wt% NaCl equivalent. Compositional variations in two-phase inclusions from the miarolitic cavities and quartz veins are primarily explained by mineral precipitation with dilution by surface water exerting a secondary influence. Thus, chemistries and behaviors of the granite-derived fluids in the plutons can be explained by mineral precipitation, boiling, and dilution of the originally released fluid.  相似文献   

Computer simulation of the MgSiO3 polymorphs     

Masanori Matsui  Geoffrey D. Price 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1992,18(6):365-372

Six polymorphs of MgSiO₃ have been studied using molecular dynamic (MD) simulation techniques, based on the empirical potential (MAMOK), which is composed of terms to describe pairwise additive Coulomb, van der Waals attraction, and repulsive interactions. Crystal structures, bulk moduli, volume thermal expansivities, and enthalpies were simulated for the known MgSiO₃ polymorphs; orthoenstatite, clinoenstatite, protoenstatite, garnet, ilmenite, and perovskite. The simulated values compare very well with the available experimental data, and the results are quite satisfactory in view of the diversity of the crystal structures of the six polymorphs, the wide range of simulated properties, and the simplicity of the MAMOK potential. MD simulation was further successfully used to study the possibile existence of a post-protoenstatite phase at high temperature, and a C2/c phase at high pressure, both phases being suggested or inferred previously from experimental works.  相似文献   

Considerations on the evaluation of the fertility of oxisols in Brazil     

Masanori Miyake 《Chemical Geology》1987,60(1-4):351-359

Based on the analysis of some of the physical and chemical properties of the reddish-colored soils from southeast Brazil four fertility classes of soils were proposed. The soils of class 1 which are characterized by a low inherent fertility are sandy soils which become less fertile after cultivation. The soils of class 2 which are derived from carbonate-cemented sandstone have a high base status under forest vegetation, but become very poor after cultivation and erosion. The soils of class 3 which have a moderate inherent fertility become more fertile after cultivation along with liming and fertilization. Class-4 soils are inherently fertile and their fertility can be maintained and enhanced easily by management practices. The potentially self-improving soils of classes 3 and 4 have a phosphate sorption coefficient above 1000 which corresponds to a definite content in clay, free Fe, total P, and water-soluble silica.  相似文献   

Trace Element Analysis of Fused Whole-Rock Glasses by Laser Ablation-ICP-MS and PIXE     

Masanori Kurosawa  Kunihiro Shima  Satoshi Ishii  Kimikazu Sasa 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2006,30(1):17-30

The concentrations of fifty trace elements, including relatively volatile elements and transition metal elements, in fused glasses of Geological Survey of Japan rock reference materials GSJ JR-2, JA-1, JA-2, JB-1a, JB-3, JGb-1 and JF-1 were determined by particle (proton) induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The fused glasses were prepared by rapid fusion and subsequent quenching in welded platinum capsules and were found to be homogeneous for major elements and for trace elements with concentrations of more than 1 μg g^-1 within the observed precision (± 10% mean) on a 70 μm sampling scale. The values obtained by PIXE and LA-ICP-MS for the transition elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni and Cu), the relatively volatile elements (Zn, Ga, Rb and Pb) and the refractory elements (Y, Zr, Nb and Th) with concentrations greater than a few μg g^-1 showed good agreement (within 10 % relative difference). The values for almost all the elements detected at concentrations higher than 1 μg g^-1 as determined by LA-ICP-MS also agreed well with the reference values (mean relative difference < ± 10%), except for B and Cu. The good agreement confirmed the appropriateness of the NIST SRM 600 series glass calibration reference material for LA-ICP-MS analysis of glasses with variable major-element compositions for almost all elements. The concentrations of Cu in all the samples were lower than the reference values, which was attributed to adsorption of the transition metals onto the platinum capsule during preparation.  相似文献   

Thermal maturity of a fold–thrust belt based on vitrinite reflectance analysis in the Western Foothills complex, western Taiwan     

Arito Sakaguchi  Akiko Yanagihara  Kohtaro Ujiie  Hidemi Tanaka  Masanori Kameyama 《Tectonophysics》2007,443(3-4):220

Burial depth, cumulative displacement, and peak temperature of frictional heat of a fault system are estimated by thermal analysis in the fold–thrust belt of the Western Foothills complex, western Taiwan based on the vitrinite reflectance technique. The regional thermal structure across the complex reveals that the rocks were exposed to maximum temperatures ranging from 100 °C to 180 °C, which corresponds to a burial depth of 3.7–6.7 km. A large thermal difference of 90 °C were observed at the Shuilikeng fault which make the eastern boundary of the fold–thrust belt where it is in contact with metamorphic rock of Hsuehshan Range. The large thermal difference corresponds to cumulative displacements on the Shuilikeng fault estimated to be in the range of 5.2–6.9 km. However, thermal differences in across the Shuangtung and Chelungpu faults cannot be determined apparently due to small vertical offsets. The large displacement observed across the Shuilikeng fault is absent at the other faults which are interpreted to be younger faults within the piggyback thrust system. Localized high temperatures adjacent to fault zones were observed in core samples penetrating the Chelungpu fault. Three major fracture zones were observed at core lengths of 225 m, 330 m, and 405 m and the two lower zones which comprise dark gray narrow shear zones. A value of vitrinite reflectance of 1.8%, higher than the background value of 0.8%, is limited at a narrow shear zone of 1 cm thickness at the fracture zone at 330 m. The estimated peak temperature in the range of 550–680 °C in the shear zone is far higher than the background temperature of 130 °C, and it is interpreted as due to frictional heating during seismic faulting.  相似文献
