A garnet-omphacite-kyanite-coesite geothermobarometer is constructed to estimate the peak metamorphic pressure of ultrahigh-pressure
(UHP) eclogites. For this we use a quaternary regular solution model for garnet, and propose a new model for sodic pyroxene
that assumes double site solid-solution (Na,Ca)M2(Al,Fe3+,Fe2+,Mg)M1Si2O6, where cations in the M2- and the M1-sites mix randomly but with inter-site interactions, not only between nearest neighboring
cations but also between next nearest neighboring cations. In the new model, overall excess interaction parameters are quantitatively
deduced from the previous experimental data and critical temperature, and the activity of the jadeite component agrees reasonably
with that based on the Landau theory. Furthermore, the relations of the calculated order parameter to temperature and composition
are consistent with other experimental works. These facts support the usefulness of the new model. Application of our geothermobarometer
to kyanite eclogite gave metamorphic conditions around 3.4 GPa and 800 ∘C for both samples from the Dora Maira Massif, Western Alps, and from Rongcheng County, in the Su-Lu region of eastern China.

Two types of biotite isograd are defined in the low-grade metamorphism of the Wazuka area, a Ryoke metamorphic terrain in the Kii Peninsula, Japan. The first, BI1, is defined by the reaction of chlorite+K-feldspar= biotite+muscovite+quartz+H2O that took place in psammitic rocks, and the second, BI2, by the continuous reaction between muscovite, chlorite, biotite and quartz in pelitic rocks. The Fe/Mg ratios of the host rocks do not significantly affect the reactions. From the paragenesis of pelitic and psammitic metamorphic rocks, the following mineral zones were established for this low-pressure regional metamorphic terrain: chlorite, transitional, chlorite-biotite, biotite, and sillimanite. The celadonite content of muscovite solid solution in pelitic rocks decreases systematically with the grade of metamorphism from 38% in the chlorite zone to 11% in the biotite zone. Low pressure does not prohibit muscovite from showing the progressive change of composition, if only rocks with appropriate paragenesis are chosen. A qualitative phase diagram of the AKF system relevant to biotite formation suggests that the higher the pressure of metamorphism, the higher the celadonite content of muscovite at BI1, which is confirmed by comparing the muscovites from the Barrovian and Ryoke metamorphism. 相似文献
Lateritic Ni ore mined in the Rio Tuba Mine, Philippines, derived from ultramafic rock by tropical intense weathering, is generally composed of two accumulated zones, an upper laterite zone and a lower saprolite zone. These two zones are very different in appearance, mineral assemblage, chemical composition, and in other ways. A transitional zone may be seen between the upper and lower zones, but it does not develop to any appreciable thickness. Although serpentine and goethite are still predominant in the constituent minerals, other clay minerals are increasing.
The transitional zone may be subdivided into three groups based on chemical composition. The behaviour of the chemical composition in this horizon indicates a complicated process of component transportation under the weathering process.
In the ore, chemical components are closely related in particle size of constituent minerals. In the laterite - transitional - saprolite sequence, a common variation range and tendency in chemical composition for each particle size can be seen. However, taking samples with the same particle size the chemical composition obviously differed, representing the characteristics of the components for each zone.
Concerning the correlation coefficient of the chemical components of each zone, a somewhat different inter-component relationship can be seen in these zones. These differences of correlation suggest the different complicated lateritized conditions under which they are formed. 相似文献
The structure of the cosmic ray electron halo of a starburst galaxy depends strongly on the nature of galactic wind and the
configuration of the magnetic field. We have investigated these dependencies by solving numerically the propagation of electrons
originating in starburst galaxies, most likely in supernova remnants. The calculations are made for several models for the
galactic winds and for the configuration of the magnetic fields for comparison with observations. Our simulation of a quasi-radio
halo reproduces both the extended structure of ∼9 kpc and the subtle hollow structure near the polar region of the radio halo
that are observed in the starburst galaxy NGC 253. These findings suggest the existence of strong galactic wind in NGC 253.

Simultaneous spaced measurements of medium-latitude VLF/ELF emissions were carried out during the three northern winters from 1976 to 1979. The experiment was making use of two different kinds of direction-finding systems (a field-analysis method and a goniometer network) at two stations in Europe, namely Brorfelde in Denmark (L = 2.9) and Chambron-la-Foret in France (L = 1.9); this enabled us to locate the ionospheric exit regions of emissions over a wide range of L-values up to and beyond 4.0, the average plasmapause location. In order to study the time delay in the temporal evolution of VLF emissions or the longitudinal drift of the emissions, observations from the Moshiri Observatory in Japan, widely separated in longitude, are also used. The overall system of the VLF equipment installed at the three stations is described. Then we present the VLF/ELF data of good quality obtained during the final year's campaign (Nov. 1978–Feb. 1979). By making use of the direction-finding data, we were able to classify the observed emissions into several categories, and some early results for some of the emissions are presented. 相似文献
A new radio spectropolarimeter for solar radio observation has been developed at Tohoku University and installed on the Iitate Planetary Radio Telescope (IPRT) at the Iitate observatory in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. This system, named AMATERAS (the Assembly of Metric-band Aperture TElescope and Real-time Analysis System), enables us to observe solar radio bursts in the frequency range between 150 and 500 MHz. The minimum detectable flux in
the observation frequency range is less than 0.7 SFU with an integration time of 10 ms and a bandwidth of 61 kHz. Both left
and right polarization components are simultaneously observed in this system. These specifications are accomplished by combining
the large aperture of IPRT with a high-speed digital receiver. Observational data are calibrated and archived soon after the
daily observation. The database is available online. The high-sensitivity observational data with the high time and frequency
resolutions from AMATERAS will be used to analyze spectral fine structures of solar radio bursts. 相似文献
A cosmic dust detector for use onboard a satellite is currently being constructed from piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The characteristics of the PZT detector were studied by bombarding it with hypervelocity iron particles, which were supplied by a Van de Graaff accelerator. There was a linear relationship between the rise time of the signal observed from the detector and the particle's velocity, which was above 10 km/s on impact. It was also found that the rise time was almost independent of the collisional angle between the particles and the PZT surface within the limits of the particle's parameters used in this experiment. 相似文献
