A re-analysis of the 1971 Beta Scorpii occultation by Jupiter: study of temperature fluctuations and detection of wave activity     

Elisabeth Raynaud  Pierre Drossart  Françoise Roques  Bruno Sicardy 《Icarus》2004,168(2):324-335

Data from the 13 May 1971 β Scorpii occultation by the southern polar region of Jupiter (Vapillon et al., 1973, Astron. Astrophys. 29, 135-149) are re-analyzed with current methods. We correct the previous results for an inacurrate background estimation and calculate new temperature profiles, that are now consistent with the results of other observers of this occultation, as well as with the current knowledge of the jovian atmosphere. The characteristics of the profiles of temperature gradient and the spectral behavior of the temperature fluctuations are found to be similar to the results of previous investigations of planetary atmospheres and in agreement with the presence of atmospheric propagating gravity waves in the jovian atmosphere. We use a wavelet analysis of the temperature profiles to identify the dominant modes of wave activity and compare the reconstructed temperature fluctuations to model-generated gravity waves.  相似文献

速度分布和银盘厚度效应对正常脉冲星Z向分布的影响     

巍英春  彭秋和  吴鑫基  张明  王娜  邹志刚  艾力·伊沙木丁 《天文学报》2006,47(4):362-370

基于彭秋和等1978年得到的无扰动有限厚盘引力势,根据两个引力势参数(h_(z1)= 0．001kpc,h_(z2)=0．325 kpc)和两个速度分布参数(σ_(v1)=115km/s,σ_(v2)=200 km/s)组合的4种情况,对4×10~5颗脉冲星做了三维蒙特卡洛模拟．4×10~5颗脉冲星按着10~8年间隔被分成20组,计算了每组“逃逸”脉冲星所占比例．对每组中“未逃逸”脉冲星,分别在0＜r＜25kpc和5＜r＜11kpc两个区域中对|z|分布做了统计,研究了“未逃逸”脉冲星在这两个区域中的分段标高和累积标高的演化特征．“未逃逸”脉冲星的分段标高在一定空间范围内的变化不规则,但累积标高的变化却比较平滑．在相对长的时间里(＞10~8年),银盘厚度对脉冲星累积标高演化有显著的复杂影响；在相对短的时间中(＜2×10~7年),这种效应很小,而且累积标高对时间的依赖关系是线性的．在长时间里,初始速度分布对累积标高也有显著影响．在引力势h_(z2)=0．325 kpc的条件下,在径向范围5＜r＜11kpc和时间t=9．22×10~6年以及σ_(v2)=200km/s的情况下,模拟的累积标高是0．596±0．005 kpc．  相似文献   

Invariant manifolds, phase correlations of chaotic orbits and the spiral structure of galaxies     

N. Voglis  P. Tsoutsis  C. Efthymiopoulos 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2006,373(1):280-294

In the presence of a strong   m = 2  component in a rotating galaxy, the phase-space structure near corotation is shaped to a large extent by the invariant manifolds of the short-period family of unstable periodic orbits terminating at L ₁ or L ₂. The main effect of these manifolds is to create robust phase correlations among a number of chaotic orbits large enough to support a spiral density wave outside corotation. The phenomenon is described theoretically by soliton-like solutions of a Sine–Gordon equation. Numerical examples are given in an N -body simulation of a barred spiral galaxy. In these examples, we demonstrate how the projection of unstable manifolds in configuration space reproduces essentially the entire observed bar–spiral pattern.  相似文献   

On an analytical framework for voids: their abundances, density profiles and local mass functions     

S. G. Patiri  J. Betancort-Rijo  F. Prada 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2006,368(3):1132-1144

We present a general analytical procedure for computing the number density of voids with radius above a given value within the context of gravitational formation of the large-scale structure of the Universe out of Gaussian initial conditions. To this end, we develop an accurate (under generally satisfied conditions) extension of the unconditional mass function to constrained environments, which allows us both to obtain the number density of collapsed objects of certain mass at any distance from the centre of the void, and to derive the number density of voids defined by collapsed objects. We have made detailed calculations for the spherically averaged mass density and halo number density profiles for particular voids. We also present a formal expression for the number density of voids defined by galaxies of a given type and luminosity. This expression contains the probability for a collapsed object of certain mass to host a galaxy of that type and luminosity (i.e. the conditional luminosity function) as a function of the environmental density. We propose a procedure to infer this function, which may provide useful clues as to the galaxy formation process, from the observed void densities.  相似文献
