Optical properties of solid and liquid sulfur at visible and infrared wavelengths     

R. Sasson  R. Wright  E.T. Arakawa  B.N. Khare  Carl Sagan 《Icarus》1985,64(3):368-374

Knowledge of the optical constants of elemental sulfur has potential applications to Venus, Jupiter, Io, Amalthea, and the Earth. The real part, n, of the index of refraction of liquid sulfur (at 133°C) and of solid orthorhombic sulfur (at 25°C) for the wavelength range 0.4–2.0 μm were measured ellipsometrically. The imaginary part, k, of the refractive index of liquid sulfur was obtained by transmittance measurements at the same temperature and wavelength range. The reflectance of semi-infinite slabs of solid and liquid sulfur is calculated using the measured n and k values. We confirm that sulfur melts on Io would be classified as “black” by the Voyager imaging system.  相似文献   

A spectroscopic study of the microorganism model of interstellar grains

The microorganism model of interstellar grains is investigated by spectroscopy from the infrared (IR), visible to the ultraviolet (UV) wave regions.E. coli, yeast and spores ofBacillus subtilis exhibit absorption bands at =3.1 and 9.7 m; they also exhibit several absorptions at 68 m which are in agreement with the observed IS extinction curves.To obtain the extinction curves in the visible and UV regions, dry films of microorganism are prepared on a MgF₂ plate or synthesized quartz plate and their spectra measured. In the wavelength region 190400 nm, conventional spectrophotometers are adopted for the measurement. The extinction curve of the film ofE. coli is similar to the observed IS curve.For the wave-range 100<<400 nm, a vacuum UV spectrometer is adopted to avoid absorptions due to O₂ in the atmosphere. The extinction spectra by this method are in agreement with the result obtained by the conventional method where comparison is possible. The extinction curves ofE. coli and yeast are such that they incrase towards the short wavelength and exhibit a peak at -190 nm, which is different from the well-known IS peak at =220 nm. It remains to be seen whether interstellar low temperatures (1040 K) can shift the peak position in the extinction curve of biochemical materials.  相似文献

Strontium isotopic and chemical variations of the granitic rocks in the Tsukuba district,Japan     

Y. Arakawa  Y. Takahashi 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1989,101(1):46-56

Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios, major and trace element compositions have been determined for the Paleogene granitic rocks in the Tsukuba district, Japan. Isotopic ages strongly suggest that the granitic rocks (seven units) were continuously emplaced and solidified during a short time interval. Initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios for seven granitic units vary from 0.7082 to 0.7132, while sedimentary and metasedimentary country rocks have ratios at the time of granitic magma emplacement ranging from 0.7149 to 0.7298. Continuous linear arrays for the granitic rocks in the diagrams of initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios versus some chemical parameters can be explained by either of following two processes. One is the assimilation — fractional crystallization (AFC) process between the parental magma (SiO₂ of 68% and initial ratio of 0.7078) and sedimentary country rocks, and the other is magma mixing process between above parental magma and sediment derived acidic magma (melt) (SiO₂ of 75%). The high initial ratios (0.7078–0.7098) for basic rocks such as gabbro or diorite in the Tsukuba district and the similar characteristics observed in the rocks of Ryoke belt (SW Japan) suggest that the parental magma had the same source region as the basic rocks, probably the lower crustal source.  相似文献   

Strontium isotopic compositions of Mesozoic granitic rocks in the Hida belt, central Japan: diversities of magma sources and of processes of magma evolution in a continental margin area     

Yoji Arakawa 《Lithos》1989,24(4):261-273

The Sr isotopic compositions of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Funatsu granitic rocks in the Hida belt, Japan, were determined and variations of the compositions within single intrusions and on a regional scale were compared with previously reported data.

Relatively low and constant (or narrow range of) initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of granitic rocks within an intrusion (0.7044-0.7055) are found mostly in the outer part of the belt, while intrusions with high and wide ranges of initial ratios (0.7056-0.7105) are situated in the inner part. This difference in initial ratios within an intrusion is due to the different degrees of mixing between the parental mafic magma from the lower crust or upper mantle and the middle to upper crustal (or crust-derived) materials. On a regional scale, a smooth and regular increase of the ratios from 0.7044 to 0.7057, from outer to inner part, is outlined by the lowest ratio in each intrusion and this almost coincides with a trend given by the ratios of mafic rocks (or mafic enclaves) in the intrusion. This suggests a gradual change of source materials in the lower crust or upper mantle. The degree of crustal contributions to the parental magma, lesser in the outer part and larger in the inner part of the Hida belt, shows close relationships to some geophysical factors, such as the emplacement depth and uplift rate of mafic magma from deeper levels and stress state (extensional or compressional) in the middle to upper crustal levels. These factors are probably due to the plate tectonic configuration in the continental margin area where the Hida belt was included.  相似文献   

On Typhoon storm tides     

Dr. H. Arakawa 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1957,38(1):231-249

Summary After reviewing current theories on synoptic types producing coastal inundations, the author proposed a theory on the dynamics of catastrophic typhoon tides after resonance and hydraulic analogy. As examples, case studies of the storm tides caused by the Muroto Typhoon of 1934 and the 1917 Typhoon are given. Another type of the storm tide caused by the crossing of two wave fronts (Inland Sea type) is also discussed. Many figures given in this study will help the forecasters to forecast storm tides.  相似文献   

Fujiwhara on five centuries of freezing dates of Lake Suwa in the Central Japan     

H. Arakawa 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》1954,6(1-2):152-166

Summary As phenological indicators, the freezing dates of Lake Suwa in the Central Japan are tabulated in chronological order over more than five centuries since the winter 1443/44 up to the present. The years in the last 2 1/2 centuries have been characterized by warmer winter (i. e. later freezing), even though there is a definite sequence of fluctuation between cold and warm. Tree-rings analysis is also given for references.

Zusammenfassung Die Gefriertermine des Suwa-Sees in Mitteljapan werden als phänologische Indikatoren in chronologischer Reihe über mehr als fünf Jahrhunderte, vom Winter 1443/44 bis heute, mitgeteilt. Die letzten 2 1/2 Jahrhunderte sind durch späteres Zufrieren, also wärmere Winter charakterisiert, wenn sich auch deutliche Fluktuationen zwischen kalt und warm erkennen lassen. Außerdem wird auf Jahresringen der Bäume beruhendes Beweismaterial diskutiert.

Résumé L'auteur dispose en tableau chronologique les dates de gel du lac Suwa (Japon central) pour plus de 500 ans, soit depuis l'hiver 1443–44 jusqu'à aujourd'huit et qui peuvent servir d'indicateurs phénologiques. Les années des dernières 2 1/2 siècles sont caractérisées par des hivers plus chauds (gels plus tardifs), malgré des fluctuations définies de périodes chaudes et froides. Pour appuyer ces constations, l'auteur examine aussi les résultats obtenus par l'analyse des cernes des arbres.

Twelve centuries of blooming dates of the cherry blossoms at the city of Kyoto and its own vicinity     

Dr. H. Arakawa 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1955,30(1):147-150

Summary Blooming dates of the cherry blossoms at the city of Kyoto (old capital of Japan) and its own vicinity are given in chronological order extending over twelve centuries. Examination of this documentary evidence in Japan shows a long period from 11th century until 14th century colder than the average, while the years since have been characterized by earlier blooming even though there is a definite sequence of fluctuation between late and early.  相似文献   

The inner solar system cratering record and the evolution of impactor populations   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We review previously published and newly obtained crater size-frequency distributions in the inner solar system. These data indicate that the Moon and the terrestrial planets have been bombarded by two populations of objects. Population 1,dominating at early times, had nearly the same size distribution as the present-day asteroid belt, and produced heavily cratered surfaces with a complex, multi-sloped crater size-frequency distribution. Population 2, dominating since about 3.8–3.7 Gyr,had the same size distribution as near-Earth objects(NEOs) and a much lower impact flux, and produced a crater size distribution characterized by a differential –3single-slope power law in the crater diameter range 0.02 km to 100 km. Taken together with the results from a large body of work on age-dating of lunar and meteorite samples and theoretical work in solar system dynamics, a plausible interpretation of these data is as follows. The NEO population is the source of Population 2 and it has been in near-steady state over the past ～ 3.7–3.8 Gyr; these objects are derived from the main asteroid belt by size-dependent non-gravitational effects that favor the ejection of smaller asteroids. However, Population 1 was composed of main belt asteroids ejected from their source region in a size-independent manner, possibly by means of gravitational resonance sweeping during orbit migration of giant planets;this caused the so-called Late Heavy Bombardment(LHB). The LHB began some time before ～3.9 Gyr, peaked and declined rapidly over the next ～ 100 to 300 Myr,and possibly more slowly from about 3.8–3.7 Gyr to ～2 Gyr. A third crater population(Population S) consisted of secondary impact craters that can dominate the cratering record at small diameters.  相似文献
