We present near-infrared broad-band JHK ' images of the southern massive star-forming region G333.6−0.2. The slope of the K -luminosity function towards the region  (0.24 ± 0.01)  is considered to be equivalent to that expected for main-sequence stars in the solar neighbourhood. Point sources with their ( H − K ) colour greater than 1 are more likely to be located in extended emission and it is suggested that these objects are physically associated with the H  ii region.  相似文献   

Infrared polarimetry of the southern massive star-forming region G333.6−0.2

We present     spectropolarimetry, and 12- and 2-μm imaging polarimetry of the southern massive star-forming region G333.6−0.2. Spectro-polarimetry measurements show that the polarization observed towards the nebula contains a mixture of both absorptive and emissive polarizations. Model fitting to the spectra indicates that the temperature of the mid-infrared emitting dust grains is generally ∼200 K and the optical depth of the absorbing dust at 9.7 μm is ∼1.5. Fits are also made to the polarimetry spectra, which show a reasonably constant peak absorptive polarization (∼3.4 per cent at 43°) across the face of the H  ii region. This absorptive polarization position angle is consistent with that found by the 2-μm imaging polarimetry     and is most likely due to the Galactic magnetic field local to G333.6−0.2. When the absorptive polarization is subtracted from the 12-μm polarization image, the emissive polarization pattern that is intrinsic to the star-forming region is revealed. A probable magnetic field configuration implied by the intrinsic polarization suggests star formation initially influenced by the Galactic magnetic field which is eventually perturbed by the star formation process.  相似文献   

Recognition of extraneous argon components through incremental-release ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ analysis of biotite and hornblende across the Grenvillian metamorphic gradient in southwestern Labrador     

R.D. Dallmeyer  Toby Rivers 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(3):413-428

${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ incremental-release ages have been determined for 15 hornblende and 20 biotite concentrates separated from rocks collected across the garnet and kyanite zones of Grenvillian metamorphism in southwestern Labrador. Most hornblende spectra from the kyanite zone are slightly discordant, with low-temperature increments yielding ages older than the ca 1000 Ma date suggested for culmination of Grenvillian metamorphism in the area. However, all the hornblende concentrates record well-defined plateau ages. These range from 968 to 905 Ma across the kyanite zone and date times of diachronous post-metamorphic cooling. The discordant spectra are interpreted to result from low-temperature liberation of excess ⁴⁰Ar components from grain margins. Two hornblende concentrates from the garnet zone display very discordant spectra (total-gas ages of 2100 and 3017 Ma) in which incremental dates systematically decrease during analysis. This pattern of discordance suggests that excess argon components are inhomogeneously distributed throughout these hornblende grains.Most biotites from the garnet and kyanite zones record total-gas or plateau ages in excess of 1000 Ma (2066-857 Ma), reflecting the widespread presence of excess argon components. Because most of the ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{39}\text{Ar}$ age spectra are internally concordant, the ratios of excess ⁴⁰Ar relative to radiogenic ⁴⁰Ar must have been uniform in the various gas fractions liberated from each sample. This is also reflected in the inability of isotope correlation diagrams to differentiate between excess, radiogenic, and atmospheric argon components. The biotite total-gas or plateau dates show marked local variation. This is interpreted to indicate that the biotite grains were in contact with a post-metamorphic intergranular vapor phase that was characterized by large and variable ${}^{40}\text{Ar}{}^{36}\text{Ar}$ ratios. Such ratios most likely resulted from widespread diffusion of the argon liberated from adjacent Archean basement gneisses during the Grenvillian metamorphic overprint.  相似文献   

Partial derivatives of dispersion curves for higher modes of love waves in a single-layered medium     

Oldřich Novotný  Reviewer V. Tobyáš 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1972,16(1):51-59

Summary The partial derivatives of the dispersion curves have been calculated by means of a method founded on the theorem of implicit functions, which was described in[1]. The partial derivatives of the dispersion curves of Love waves are studied in detail for a model of a single-layered medium. Analytical formulae for the partial derivatives are used for deriving the limits of these partial derivatives when the period approaches zero or the critical period.  相似文献

Sensitivity of the Sharpe and Worden gravity meters to vertical motion     

Vladimír Tobyáš  Karel Diviš  Reviewer O. Novotný  Reviewer Z. Šimon 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1979,23(2):122-130

Summary Using the least-squares method the constants of both gravity meters — seismometers — were derived from the amplitude responses, observed under vertical motion on a vibrating table in the 0.3–30 s range. The values of the seismogram amplitudes, above which seismic waves cause an observable displacement of the gravity meter reading beam, were determined for the SKD and Press-Ewing station seismographs.  相似文献   

Estimate of the effect of vibrations on quartz gravity meters     

Vladimír Tobyáš  Karel Diviš  Reviewer M. Pick 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1978,22(4):336-347

Summary Relations for computing the minimum amplitudes of ground vibrations which generate oscillations of the gravity meter reading beam at the limit of the resolution of the optical system, have been derived. The minimum amplitudes in the ground displacement period range of0.1 to10 s, for the assumed values of the fundamental parameters of quartz gravity meters (i.e. the periods and damping constants of the pendulum and the mechanico-optical magnification of the pendulum deflections), range from tenths of a micrometre to units of micrometres. Larger displacement amplitudes, due to, e.g., earthquakes and traffic, disrupt gravity measurements.  相似文献
