ACE-Asia was a multi-national collaboration organized to investigate and understand the chemistry, radiative properties, and climatic effects of mineral dust and other aerosol particles in the East Asia/Northwest Pacific region. Studies conducted at the Gosan and Zhenbeitai surface supersites show striking variations in aerosol concentrations and properties that were affected by the occurrence and origins of the Asian dust storms, air mass pathways, and mixing during the transport. Investigations conducted on the R/V Ronald H. Brown (RHB) showed that dust had a pervasive influence on the chemical composition, size distribution, and optical properties of the aerosol. Analyses using an aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer on the RHB showed that most of the coarse-particle nitrate and sulfate in post-frontal air was associated with dust, and more remarkably, that competitive or exclusionary processes evidently are involved in the uptake or production of these substances. Studies conducted onboard the NCAR C-130 aircraft showed that coarse-mode dust was less absorbing and less hygroscopic than pollution aerosol and that there was little correlation in light scattering and absorption by the sub- vs. super-micrometer aerosol. Below 2 km, dust was commonly mixed with pollutants, and this had a stronger influence on the optical properties of the submicrometer particles than the coarse-mode dust; at higher altitudes, the dust was less affected by pollution. Single particle analyses of C-130 samples showed that the mixing of black carbon (BC) with dust was common, but only certain types of BC particles were aggregated. Models were used in the planning, execution and interpretative phases of ACE-Asia; and summaries of modeling results are presented to illustrate the progress being made in identifying new dust sources; in depicting the time-varying, three-dimensional structure of dust plumes; and in quantifying the production, transport, and deposition of Asian dust. 相似文献

Gradients of absorption line indices are studied and mean stellar metallicities are estimated for 46 elliptical galaxies.
The mean stellar metallicities range from 〈 [Fe/H] 〉 ≃ =0.8 to +0.2 and ellipticals with smaller central velocity dispersions
tend to have lower 〈 [Fe/H] 〉 thus the mass-metallicity relation holds not only for the galaxy center but also for the whole
part of the galaxy. There is an evidence that the magnesium is enhanced systematically in all ellipticals by 0.2 dex with
respect to the iron. Giant elliptical galaxies show lack of metal-poor stars (the G-dwarf problem). Metal-poor globular clusters
of ellipticals formed well in advance of the formation of metal-rich ones which formed simultaneously with the bulk of stars
of mother galaxies under the influence of galaxy chemical enrichment. The bimodal [Fe/H] distribution of globular clusters
does not necessarily mean that elliptical galaxies formed by the mergers of disc galaxies.

Recent evolutionary computations of stars in the globular clusters show that the star ascending up the red giant branch decreases its luminisity temporarily when the outward advancing hydrogen-burning shell passes over the discontinuity in the chemical compositions, which is the trace of maximum inward penetration of the convective envelope in the previous subgiant stage. To understand the physical circumstance of this luminosity drop, the semi-analytical approach using the classical red giant model was applied. The difference of the present analysis from those with usual models of the red giant is that the gradient and the discontinuity in the hydrogen profile, which were usually neglected in the classical red giant model, in the region into which the hydrogen-burning shell advances were taken into account explicitly. It was found that the luminosity would always drop at the critical stage, the stage when the hydrogen-burning shell just passes over the discontinuity. It was also pointed out that the luminosity drop depends on the time step chosen for constructing the stellar evolutionary models and computations with crude time step would fail to catch up this phenomenon. 相似文献

The number ratios of horizontal branch stars to red giant stars were obtained for globular clusters and Draco dwarf galaxy and the helium abundance was estimated using model results without semiconvection zone (SCZ) and with fully developed one. The analysis was confined to the four clusters (M4, M5, M13, and 47 Tuc) and the Draco galaxy, for which fairly precise star counts had been carried out. The effect of the difference in radial distribution between horizontal and red giant branch stars were taken into account, if necessary. The statistically significant difference inR exists among these objects. The cause may be the difference in the helium abundance and/or in the development of the SCZ. In the case of the fully developed SCZ, the helium abundance for M5 and Draco is appreciably smaller than the value given by the big-bang cosmology. It may be taken as an evidence against the full development of the SCZ for the horizontal branch stars in these objects. 相似文献
