Studies of some diatomic molecules in the F- and early G-type dwarf stars     

Markandey Singh  Jai Prakash Chaturvedi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,136(2):231-246

A critical analysis of CH, NH, OH, C₂, and CN molecules/radicals has been made in twenty-four F- and early G-type dwarfs at different effective temperature as well as in new constructed model atmosphere. Molecular indices of bandheads ofA-X system of CH, NH, OH, C₂, and CN have been obtained by using the data available in the literature (thirteen-colour and eight-colour photometry).Besides, some interesting plots of the molecular indices vs _eff, molecular abundances and molecular indices vs dissociation energy, reduced equivalent widths and FCF's vs dissociation energy for respective molecules have also been enumerated. It is found that the molecular indices at bandheads ofA-X system of CH, NH, OH, C₂, and CN are approximately constant (5810–6570 K). It is to be noted that the molecular indices decrease in the order OH, NH, CH, C₂, and CN at a given temperature.The dissociation equilibrium of CH, NH, OH, C₂, and CN is considered at 5810, 6570, and 7160 K phases in model atmosphere. At standard scale of abundance the molecular abundance and molecular index decrease in the order OH, NH, CH, C₂, and CN at any given phase, however, CN abundance and index increase (_eff=0.867-0.767). The amplitude of abundance and index variation decrease in the order NH, OH, CH, C₂, and CN (_eff=0.767-0.704).The reduced equivalent width decrease in the order OH, NH, CH, and C₂ and FCF's decrease in the order CH, OH, NH, CN, and C₂.The confrontation of models and observations of spectra of F- and early G-type dwarfs of parent molecules is of primary importance to investigate the physical conditions within atmospheres. Reliable excitation models are also requisite for interpreting spectroscopic observations of parent molecules and deriving molecular abundances.  相似文献

The effect of the Coriolis force on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability has been investigated, in which basic velocities of fluid are varying slowly with lateral coordinatey. The problem is solved by J.W.K.B. approximation method. Parabolic and other types of profiles for wide long channel flow have also been studied in detail.  相似文献   

Characteristics of spectral aerosol optical depths over India during ICARB

Spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements, carried out regularly from a network of observatories spread over the Indian mainland and adjoining islands in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, are used to examine the spatio-temporal and spectral variations during the period of ICARB (March to May 2006). The AODs and the derived Ångström parameters showed considerable variations across India during the above period. While at the southern peninsular stations the AODs decreased towards May after a peak in April, in the north Indian regions they increased continuously from March to May. The Ångström coefficients suggested enhanced coarse mode loading in the north Indian regions, compared to southern India. Nevertheless, as months progressed from March to May, the dominance of coarse mode aerosols increased in the columnar aerosol size spectrum over the entire Indian mainland, maintaining the regional distinctiveness. Compared to the above, the island stations showed considerably low AODs, so too the northeastern station Dibrugarh, indicating the prevalence of cleaner environment. Long-range transport of aerosols from tshe adjoining regions leads to remarkable changes in the magnitude of the AODs and their wavelength dependencies during March to May. HYSPLIT back-trajectory analysis shows that enhanced long-range transport of aerosols, particularly from the west Asia and northwest coastal India, contributed significantly to the enhancement of AOD and in the flattening of the spectra over entire regions; if it is the peninsular regions and the island Minicoy are more impacted in April, the north Indian regions including the Indo Gangetic Plain get affected the most during May, with the AODs soaring as high as 1.0 at 500 nm. Over the islands, the Ångström exponent (α) remained significantly lower (～1) over the Arabian Sea compared to Bay of Bengal (BoB) (～1.4) as revealed by the data respectively from Minicoy and Port Blair. Occurrences of higher values of α, showing dominance of accumulation mode aerosols, over BoB are associated well with the advection, above the boundary layer, of fine particles from the east Asian region during March and April. The change in the airmass to marine in May results in a rapid decrease in α over the BoB.  相似文献   

Filtration and Clogging Behavior of Geotextiles with Roorkee Soils     

Bal Krishna Maheshwari  Deepak A. Gunjagi 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2008,26(1):101-107

Geotextile filters are rapidly replacing graded granular filters as the standard of practice in geotechnical design. The objective of the present study is to predict the behavior of the geotextile filter for the locally (Roorkee—India) available soils using three different geotextiles (two nonwoven and one woven). Nonwoven geotextiles are commonly used in filtration applications. This paper evaluates the long-term performance of two needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles and one woven geotextile. Filtration tests on soil–geotextile filter systems were conducted in the laboratory in order to evaluate the filtration and clogging behavior. Laboratory test program, include evaluation of performance of two different nonwoven and one woven geotextile filters in combination with locally available Solani River Sand and Clayey Soil. The paper describes the concept and details of the Fine Fraction Filtration (F³) test and presents data on three different geotextiles, which were evaluated using three different soil types. It is deduced that in all filtration applications, the non-woven geotextile would perform better than the woven geotextile.  相似文献   

Sound velocity,density, and related properties along a transect across the Bay of Bengal   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

K. S. Krishna  D. Gopala Rao  G. Prabhakar S Murty  Y. V. Ramana 《Geo-Marine Letters》1989,9(2):95-102

Physical properties, sound velocity and density of 95 core samples from ten locations along a transect (parallel to 15°N latitude) across the Bay of Bengal were measured. Results indicate that sound velocities range from 1,482 to 1,679 m/s (av: 1,583 m/s) and densities from 1,338 to 1,757 kg/m³ (av: 1,527 kg/m³). It has been observed that dark colored clays and sandy clays show higher values of sound velocity and density than the average values. A comparative study of the same with that of the sediment cores collected from the Norwegian basin, Mediterranean Sea, and Hatteras, Nares Abyssal plains, western North Atlantic Ocean was done.  相似文献   

Magnetic studies over the northern extension of the Prathap Ridge complex,eastern Arabian Sea     

K. S. Krishna  G. Prabhakar S Murty  K. Srinivas  D. Gopala Rao 《Geo-Marine Letters》1992,12(1):7-13

The northern parts of the Prathap and Laccadive Ridge system, eastern Arabian Sea, consist of three parallel basement ridge peaks at varied depths. The topographic highs are associated with either well-developed or subdued magnetic signatures. Model studies, constrained by seismic results, determine the varied nature and depth to the top of the causative basement bodies. Similarities of the geophysical signatures of the ridges and their structural resemblance perhaps point to their common origin. Hence we propose that the Prathap Ridge complex may be a part of the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge system and formed because of the Reunion hotspot activity.  相似文献   

Some vibrational bands of theC-X system of V0 molecules in the umbral spectrum of the Sun     

Markandey Singh  Jai Prakash Chaturvedi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1989,161(2):233-239

Vibrational transition probabilities namely Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids have been evaluated using an approximate analytical method for theC-X system of V0. Morse potential energy curves forX _{4 –} andC _{4 –} states of V0 have been constructed using the latest spectroscopic data. The value of r-centroids for the band have been found to increase linearly with the corresponding wavelength. We show results for new transition and ten new bands in the umbral spectrum of the Sun.  相似文献   

The flow of viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid in the Ekman layer     

Krishna Raj Choubey 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1984,104(1):157-161

In this paper the unsteady flow in the Ekman layer of a visco-elastic non-Newtonian fluid near a flat plate is discussed. Laplace transform technique has been employed to show the basic differential equations. Expressions for velocity profile, the skin friction have been calculated. It is shown that the time to attain the steady state increases with the elastic parameter. It is shown that normally the ultimate steady state is reached through a decay of inertial oscillations whose frequency decreases with increase in the elastic parameter. In the present study we examine the following unsteady problem in non-Newtonian fluid. Consider an infinite plate coinciding with the platez=0 and rotating in unison with elasticoviscous liquid occupying the regionz>0 with a uniform angular velocity about thez-axis for timet<-0. At timet>0, the plate starts moving with a uniform velocityU _o along thex-axis relative to the rotating frame of reference. The horizontal homogeneity of the problem demands that conditions depend onz andt only. The equation of continuity together with the no slip condition at the plate then shows that thez-component of the velocity vanishes everywhere.  相似文献   

YO molecule in the sun     

Markandey Singh  Jai Prakash Chaturvedi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,165(1):119-129

Vibrational transition probabilities, namely Franck—Condon factors and -centroids have been evaluated by an approximate analytical method for the (A–X), (A–X), and (A–X) system of YO molecule. Morse potential energy curves forX ²⁺,A ²₂,A²₂, andA²₂, states of YO have been constructed using the latest spectroscopic data. The value of -centroids for the band have been found to decrease linearly with the corresponding wavelengths. We show results for two new transitions of (A–X) and (A–X) and five new bands of (A–X) of YO in the umbral spectrum of the Sun.  相似文献
