On the variational approach to the periodic n-body problem     

S. Terracini 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2006,95(1-4):3-25

This expository paper gathers some of the results obtained by the author in recent works in collaboration with Davide Ferrario and Vivina Barutello, focusing on the periodic n-body problem from the perspective of the calculus of variations and minimax theory. These researches were aimed at developing a systematic variational approach to the equivariant periodic n-body problem in the two and three-dimensional space. The purpose of this paper is to expose the main problems and achievements of this approach. The material here was exposed in the talk that given at the Meeting CELMEC IV promoted by SIMCA (Società italiana di Meccanica Celeste).  相似文献   

Periodic orbits of the planar collision restricted 3-body problem     

Jaume Llibre  Daniel Paşca 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2006,96(1):19-29

Using the continuation method we prove that the circular and the elliptic symmetric periodic orbits of the planar rotating Kepler problem can be continued into periodic orbits of the planar collision restricted 3-body problem. Additionally, we also continue to this restricted problem the so called “comet orbits”. An erratum to this article can be found at  相似文献

我国是世界上受热带气旋影响最为严重的国家之一,因此研究其机理演变规律将更有利于指导做好防灾减灾工作。本文利用GIS的显示功能,重建和再现热带气旋的登陆路径全过程,在空间格局上,进行时间维的动态演化模拟,为更好地研究热带气旋的演化机理提供一种实用的分析手段。结果表明,该方法对在时空上了解和认识气旋登陆演化全过程的研究具有一定意义。  相似文献   

河外天体喷流的观测研究——Ⅰ.3C120核心区域的一次快速增亮     

孙凯  张文元  李治平 《中国天文和天体物理学报》1990,(4)

运用云南天文台1米反光望远镜及其附设CCD装置在1988年1月23日及24日对3C120进行了I和R波段观测。采用Starlink系统中的ASPIC软件系统作资料处理。结果表明:我们观测到了一次3C120核心区域中的快速增亮现象。平均增亮速度快于约-0.7~m/日。在这一快速增亮的早期,围绕3C120的核心区域有短的亮射线出现。从1988年1月24日的3C120Ⅰ波段像上发现,可能有一个从核心区域向南的新的突出物。  相似文献

Ground-based photometric observations of Jupiter's inner satellites Thebe, Amalthea, and Metis at small phase angles     

I. Kulyk  K. Jockers 《Icarus》2004,170(1):24-34

We present the results of photometric measurements of the inner jovian satellites Thebe, Amalthea and Metis based on extensive optical observations taken from October 1999 to January 2002. The observations were made in the phase angle range from 8.1° to 0.3°. The Two-Channel Focal Reducer of the Max-Planck Institute for Aeronomy attached to the 2-m RCC telescope at Terskol Observatory (Pik Terskol, Northern Caucasus) was used in coronagraph mode. The observations were performed at a wavelength of 0.887 μm. Mean observational uncertainties corresponding to 1σ rms errors were 3% for the leading and trailing sides of Amalthea, 7 and 9% for the leading and trailing sides of Thebe and 9% for the leading side of Metis after taking into account the longitude brightness variations. Photometric data calibrated on an absolute scale were used to evaluate the near-opposition behavior of satellite brightness. All three satellites exhibit significant opposition brightening, but the strength of this effect, measured as the ratios of intensities at α₁=1.6° and α₂=6.7° does not vary significantly among these satellites. In order to measure the opposition surge parameters the empirical law proposed by Karkoschka and Hapke's model were used. The parameters of the satellite opposition effects are presented and discussed. The values of geometric albedos calculated with best-fit Hapke parameters are 0.096, 0.157, and 0.24 for Thebe, Amalthea, and Metis respectively. We found that the average leading/trailing ratios of surface reflectance at the measured phase angles are 1.53±0.05, 1.25±0.04, 1.04±0.08 for Amalthea, Thebe, and Metis.  相似文献   

Local Oscillator Distribution Using A Geostationary Satellite     

J. Bardin  S. Weinreb  D. Bagri 《Experimental Astronomy》2004,17(1-3):193-199

A satellite communication system suitable for distribution of local oscillator reference signals for a widely spaced microwave array has been developed and tested experimentally. The system uses a round-trip correction method to remove effects of atmospheric fluctuations and radial motion of the satellite. This experiment was carried out using Telstar-5, a commercial Ku-band geostationary satellite. A typical Ku-band satellite has uplink and downlink capacity at 14–14.5 GHz and 11.7–12.2 GHz, respectively. For this initial experiment, both earth stations were located at the same site to facilitate direct comparison of the received signals. The local oscillator reference frequency was chosen to be 300 MHz and was sent as the difference between two Ku-band tones. The residual error after applying the round trip correction has been measured to be better than 3 ps for integration times ranging from 1 to 2000 s. For integration times greater than 500 s, the system outperforms a pair of hydrogen masers with the limitation believed to be ground-based equipment phase stability. The idea of distributing local oscillators using a geostationary satellite is not new; several researchers experimented with this technique in the eighties, but the achieved accuracy was 3 to 100 times worse than the present results. Since then, the cost of both leased satellite bandwidth and the Ku-band ground equipment has dropped substantially and the performance of various components has improved. An important factor is the availability of narrow bands which can be leased on a communications satellite. We lease three 100 kHz bands at approximately one hundredth the cost of a full 36 MHz-wide transponder. Further tests of the system using terminals separated by large distances and comparison tests with two hydrogen masers and radio interferometry of astronomical objects are needed.  相似文献   

Large impact features on middle-sized icy satellites     

Jeffrey M. Moore  Paul M. Schenk  Erik Asphaug 《Icarus》2004,171(2):421-443

All of the large impact features of the middle-sized icy satellites of Saturn and Uranus that were clearly observed by the Voyager spacecraft are described. New image mosaics and stereo-and-photoclinometrically-derived digital elevation models are presented. Landforms related to large impact features, such as secondary craters and possible antipodal effects are examined and evaluated. Of the large impacts, Odysseus on Tethys appears to have had the most profound effect on its “target” satellite of any of the impact features we examined. Our modeling suggests that the Odysseus impact may have caused the prompt formation of Ithaca Chasma, a belt of tectonic troughs that roughly follow a great circle normal to the center of Odysseus, although other hypotheses remain viable. We identify probable secondary cratering from Tirawa on Rhea. We attribute a number of converging coalescing crater chains on Rhea to a putative, possibly relatively fresh, ∼350 km-diameter impact feature. We examine the antipodes of Odysseus, the putative ∼350 km-diameter Rhean impact feature, and Tirawa, and conclude that evidence from Voyager data for damage from seismic focusing is equivocal, although our modeling results indicate that such damage may have occurred. We propose a number of observations and tests for Cassini that offer the opportunity to differentiate among the various explanations and speculations reviewed and evaluated in this study.  相似文献   

Neutron background in large-scale xenon detectors for dark matter searches     

M. J. Carson  J. C. Davies  E. Daw  R. J. Hollingworth  V. A. Kudryavtsev  T. B. Lawson  P. K. Lightfoot  J. E. McMillan  B. Morgan  S. M. Paling  M. Robinson  N. J. C. Spooner  D. R. Tovey 《Astroparticle Physics》2004,21(6):667-687

Simulations of the neutron background for future large-scale particle dark matter detectors are presented. Neutrons were generated in rock and detector elements via spontaneous fission and (α,n) reactions, and by cosmic-ray muons. The simulation techniques and results are discussed in the context of the expected sensitivity of a generic liquid xenon dark matter detector. Methods of neutron background suppression are investigated. A sensitivity of 10⁻⁹–10⁻¹⁰ pb to WIMP-nucleon interactions can be achieved by a tonne-scale detector.  相似文献
