Abstract— We studied unshocked and experimentally (at 12, 25, and 28 GPa, with 25, 100, 450, and 750°C pre‐shock temperatures) shock‐metamorphosed Hospital Hill quartzite from South Africa using cathodoluminescence (CL) images and spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to document systematic pressure or temperature‐related effects that could be used in shock barometry. In general, CL images of all samples show CL‐bright luminescent patchy areas and bands in otherwise nonluminescent quartz, as well as CL‐dark irregular fractures. Fluid inclusions appear dominant in CL images of the 25 GPa sample shocked at 750°C and of the 28 GPa sample shocked at 450°C. Only the optical image of our 28 GPa sample shocked at 25°C exhibits distinct planar deformation features (PDFs). Cathodoluminescence spectra of unshocked and experimentally shocked samples show broad bands in the near‐ultraviolet range and the visible light range at all shock stages, indicating the presence of defect centers on, e.g., SiO₄ groups. No systematic change in the appearance of the CL images was obvious, but the CL spectra do show changes between the shock stages. The Raman spectra are characteristic for quartz in the unshocked and 12 GPa samples. In the 25 and 28 GPa samples, broad bands indicate the presence of glassy SiO₂, while high‐pressure polymorphs are not detected. Apparently, some of the CL and Raman spectral properties can be used in shock barometry.  相似文献   

2D/3D Dust Continuum Radiative Transfer Codes to Analyze and Predict VLTI Observations     

I. Pascucci  Th. Henning  J. Steinacker  S. Wolf 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,286(1-2):113-118

Radiative Transfer (RT) codes with image capability are a fundamental tool for preparing interferometric observations and for interpreting visibility data. In view of the upcoming VLTI facilities, we present the first comparison of images/visibilities coming from two 3D codes that use completely different techniques to solve the problem of self-consistent continuum RT. In addition, we focus on the astrophysical case of a disk distorted by tidal interaction with by-passing stars or internal planets and investigate for which parameters the distortion can be best detected in the mid-infrared using the mid-infrared interferometric device MIDI. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Varying Fundamental Constants: A Dynamical Systems Approach     

Marek Biesiada 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,283(4):511-516

Theory of dynamical systems offers a possibility of investigating the space of all possible solutions. In the context of simple cosmological models such like Varying Speed of Light Friedman-Robertson-Walker (VSL FRW) models there exists a systematic method of reducing field equations to certain two-dimensional dynamical system. One of the features of this reduction is the possibility of representing the model as a Hamiltonian system in which the properties of the potential function V(X) can serve as a tool for qualitative classification of possible evolutions of a(t). Some important features like resolution of the flatness problem, existence of event horizons near the singularity can be visualized as domains on the phase-space. Then one is able to see how large is the class of solutions (labelled by the initial conditions) leading to the desired property.

Composition of brines in halite‐hosted fluid inclusions in the Upper Ordovician,Canning Basin,Western Australia: new data on seawater chemistry     

Volodymyr M. Kovalevych  Tadeusz Marek Peryt  Wenlong Zang  Serhiy V. Vovnyuk 《地学学报》2006,18(2):95-103

Analyses of primary and early diagenetic fluid inclusions in the halite from the Late Ordovician Mallowa Salt, Canning Basin, Western Australia indicate a Ca‐rich composition and high concentration of parent brines in the basin which were close to sylvite and carnallite precipitation. The salt‐bearing series in the sampled interval was overheated up to 62 °C. The recorded differences in gas compositions result from the input of several gas sources including dispersed organic matter in the salt series and hydrocarbon deposits in the underlying rocks. The high concentration of the brines in fluid inclusions does not allow quantitative reconstruction of the chemical composition of Late Ordovician parent seawater. Using the information from Early Cambrian and Late Silurian basins as a proxy, however, the new data indicate that Late Ordovician seawater was undoubtedly Ca‐rich and, in comparison with modern seawater, had a similar K content, considerably lower Mg content (c. 30%), approximately three times the Ca content and one‐third the SO₄ content.  相似文献   

On Boussinesq's problem for Maxwell continua subject to an external gravity field     

Detlef Wolf 《Geophysical Journal International》1985,80(1):275-279

Summary. Boussinesq's problem is solved for a uniform and incompressible Maxwell half-space subject to an external gravity field. The solution is based on momentum equations which account for stress advection in the hydrostatically pre-stressed continuum during its deformation. The analysis shows that disregarding the pre-stress term renders the theoretical stress distribution incorrect and the deformation singular in the inviscid limit of the Maxwell continuum. Our solution is contrasted with a recently published alternative solution of the same problem, where regularity in the inviscid limit was forced by modified boundary conditions.  相似文献

Propagation of Love waves in surface layers of varying thickness     

Barry Wolf 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1967,67(1):76-82

Summary A study is made of the scattered field which results when a Love wave is incident on a layer having an irregular surface. To obtain this solution a perturbation method is used. It is shown that the scattered field may be described by a superposition of Love waves and non-propagating disturbances. As an illustrative example, the result is applied to obtain the scattering by a triangular trough.  相似文献
