Mira变星拱星包层的温度结构

我们研究了Mira变星拱星包层的温度结构。假设Mira变星拱星包层由气体和尘埃颗粒两种成分组成,气体为理想气体,并有稳定的和球对称的径向向外流动;我们研究了拱星包层气体的加热机制和致冷原因,根据拱星包层气体的质量、动量和能量守恒方程及多方膨胀过程方程,通过计算得到了拱星包层气体温度所满足的温度方程。这个温度方程对于Mira变星拱星包层有普遍意义。对于典型的Mira变星我们进行了数值计算,得到了温度曲线。与观测得到的温度曲线比较表明,理论模型与观测事实相一致。     

Mira变星的有轴对称转动膨胀的拱星包层速度流场

许多Mira变星具有轴对称转动的膨胀拱星包层。因此研究有轴对称转动的膨胀拱星包层的速度流场是十分必要的。我们研究了Mira变星的有轴对称转动的膨胀的拱星包层的速度流场,得到了它的严格形式解。所得到的结果与观测给出的事实是相一致的。最后,还讨论了恒星的质量损失率。     

Mira变星的拱星包层的速度流场

很多观测事实指出,在许多Mira变星的拱星包层中存在着气体和颗粒,存在着OH脉泽。关于Mira变星的拱星包层在膨胀过程中的速度流场问题,近来一直引起较大的注意。因为它直接关系到对Mira变星的质量损失率的估计,因此它对恒星演化过程以及星际物质的化学组成的研究有重要的价值。人们在估计晚型星质量损失率上存在的困难之一,是对拱星包层的膨胀过程的处理问题。以往的工作往往把晚型星的拱星包层的

一颗光学厚Mira星NV Aur

本文利用能量守恒的方法,对光学厚Mira变星NV Aur在其相位0.206处的光学及红外波段的观测值进行模型拟合处理,得到其中心星有效温度值T_*=1750K,亮层有效温度T_d=250K。我们发现富氧AGB星的25μm处的光度和周期有很好的相关,通过此周光关系,算出了NV Aur的距离d≈590pc,中心星光度约为9.4×10~4L_⊙,中心星半径为3.4×10~3R_⊙,尘埃壳层光学厚度τ_v=2.7,显示其为一光学厚Mira星,中心星为一红超巨星。我们所得质量流失率(?)=3.1×10~(-6)M_⊙/yr,与Knapp等人从CO观测得到的5.7×10~(-6)M_⊙/yr在量级上相符。在本文中还给出了NV Aur的球对称壳层黑体谱模型。

恒星形成时期强远红外源的红外发射与赫罗图

本文从IRAS点源星表（PSC）中选择了一批流量只F100μ≥500Jy，且属于正在形成或早期演化阶段的强远红外源，利用北京天文台兴隆观测站的1.26m红外望远镜，对这批源进行了J、H、K波段的近红外观测，得到了12个源的第一次J、H、K测光资料．结合外台站的红外观测资料和IRAS点源星表数据，我们对强远红外源的红外发射进行了修正的黑体光球模型、双壳层尘埃发射模型以及详细的辐射转移等模型的拟合，得到了这些源的一系列重要的物理参量，如中心星的等效光球温度，近红外消光以及包层的尘埃温度和密度随半径变化的幂律等．本文利用红外导出的中心星光球温度和光度，得到了与这些强远红外源成协的大质量年轻天体在赫罗图上的位置和演化特征．我们发现，对质量一定的大质量年轻星，沿着向主序演化的方向，红外谱在12μ－60μ间的斜率S有逐渐增大的趋势；而对演化到同一时间线的星，随着质量的增大，S也有增大的趋势．本文分析了这一性质．并提出了利用红外资料研究赫罗图的方法，它是一种研究深埋于分子云和尘埃包层的大质量年轻星早期演化的有效方法．     

大质量年轻星体的红外谱研究

本文对一批中心星光度大于１０３Ｌ⊙,质量大于７～８Ｍ⊙的大质量年轻星体（ＹＳＯｓ）进行了研究．利用近几年对这批源进行的ＪＨＫ波段的观测以及其它台站的红外测光和ＩＲＡＳ点源资料,得到了这批源的红外能谱．根据它们在７－２３μｍ间的低分辨率光谱（ＬＲＳ）,确定了其尘埃粒子的类型,并将其分成三类：（１）具有９．７μｍ的硅酸盐特征;（２）具有１１．３μｍ的ＰＡＨ特征;（３）特征不明显或谱噪音较大．本文采用球对称、各向同性、吸收和散射同时考虑的辐射转移模型,对１２个大质量年轻星体进行了红外能谱拟合,得到了这些源的一系列重要的物理参量,如：中心星的光度和表面有效温度、特征波长上的光深以及包层的尘埃温度和密度随半径变化的幂律等．模型拟合的结果显示：（１）在大部分尘埃包层中,尘埃温度随尘埃包层半径的分布为Ｔｄ（ｒ）∝ｒ－０．４±０．０３,它与假设尘埃的吸收／发射效率Ｑ（ν）＝Ｑ０（νν）β,β＝１时的理论预期一致．（２）尘埃密度随尘埃包层半径的分布为ｎｄ（ｒ）∝ｒ－２．０～－１．５,该关系式间接反映了恒星形成早期,分子包层从等温塌缩到自由下落的过渡．     

The Availability of Phosphorus in The Bacterial Model of The Interstellar Grains

It is shown that phosphorus availability is in close balance with the phosphorus requirement of the bacterial grain model. This correspondence, which would be fortuitous if the interstellar grains were of inorganic origin, points to the correctness of the biological model. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On The Origin of The High-Perihelion Scattered Disk: The Role of The Kozai Mechanism And Mean Motion Resonances

We study the transfer process from the scattered disk (SD) to the high-perihelion scattered disk (HPSD) (defined as the population with perihelion distances q > 40 AU and semimajor axes a>50 AU) by means of two different models. One model (Model 1) assumes that SD objects (SDOs) were formed closer to the Sun and driven outwards by resonant coupling with the accreting Neptune during the stage of outward migration (Gomes 2003b, Earth, Moon, Planets 92, 29–42.). The other model (Model 2) considers the observed population of SDOs plus clones that try to compensate for observational discovery bias (Fernández et al. 2004, Icarus , in press). We find that the Kozai mechanism (coupling between the argument of perihelion, eccentricity, and inclination), associated with a mean motion resonance (MMR), is the main responsible for raising both the perihelion distance and the inclination of SDOs. The highest perihelion distance for a body of our samples was found to be q = 69.2 AU. This shows that bodies can be temporarily detached from the planetary region by dynamical interactions with the planets. This phenomenon is temporary since the same coupling of Kozai with a MMR will at some point bring the bodies back to states of lower-q values. However, the dynamical time scale in high-q states may be very long, up to several Gyr. For Model 1, about 10% of the bodies driven away by Neptune get trapped into the HPSD when the resonant coupling Kozai-MMR is disrupted by Neptune’s migration. Therefore, Model 1 also supplies a fossil HPSD, whose bodies remain in non-resonant orbits and thus stable for the age of the solar system, in addition to the HPSD formed by temporary captures of SDOs after the giant planets reached their current orbits. We find that about 12 – 15% of the surviving bodies of our samples are incorporated into the HPSD after about 4 – 5 Gyr, and that a large fraction of the captures occur for up to the 1:8 MMR (a ⋍ 120 AU), although we record captures up to the 1:24 MMR (a ≃ 260 AU). Because of the Kozai mechanism, HPSD objects have on average inclinations about 25°–50°, which are higher than those of the classical Edgeworth–Kuiper (EK) belt or the SD. Our results suggest that Sedna belongs to a dynamically distinct population from the HPSD, possibly being a member of the inner core of the Oort cloud. As regards to 2000 CR₁₀₅ , it is marginally within the region occupied by HPSD objects in the parametric planes (q,a) and (a,i), so it is not ruled out that it might be a member of the HPSD, though it might as well belong to the inner core.

The sun and exoplanets: The solitude of man

Solar pulsations with a period of P ₀ = 9600.606(12) were discovered in 1974. A more recent discovery is that planetary distances in the solar system are subject to spatial resonance with the parameter L ₀ ?? cP ₀ ?? 9600 ls and that the P ₀ pulsation itself has cosmological significance (coherent cosmic oscillation, or the pace of absolute time of the universe; c is the speed of light). As of June 2011, 552 extrasolar planets have been discovered. Statistical analysis shows that the distribution of the semimajor axes of alien planets does not have L ₀ resonance. Moreover, it appears to have no resonance at all. This frustrates the 20th-century hopes for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and possible contact with them. They are simply not there. This explanation of the Fermi paradox, or the Great Silence, appears to rest on the triumph of the anthropic principle, which has been successfully implemented by nature within our planetary system. This leads to a vision whereby the cosmos seems to be created specially for us. The scale L ₀ indicates that the sun is a special quantum object, where L ₀ is a wave function parameter that is not subject to the rational principles of the classical world, but rather follows a peculiar, quantum logic.     

The differentiation of eucrites: The role of in situ crystallization

Abstract— We report on major and trace element analyses of 17 eucrites, including three cumulate eucrites (Binda, Moore County, and Serra de Magé), determined by, respectively, inductively‐coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively‐coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results obtained for Binda and Moore County are consistent with the model of Treiman (1997) for the formation of cumulate eucrites, which holds that these meteorites were produced from a eucritic melt. Our sample of Serra de Magé contains unusually large amounts of pyroxene and probably an accessory phase rich in heavy rare earth elements and is therefore not representative of this eucrite as known from literature data. Our results for the noncumulate eucrites Bereba, Bouvante, Cachari, Caldera, Camel Donga, Ibitira, Jonzac, Juvinas, Lakangaon, Millbillillie, Padvarninkai, Pasamonte, Sioux County, and Stannern are in good agreement with literature data. The observed decoupling between major and trace elements for noncumulate eucrites can be explained by in situ crystallization during the differentiation of an asteroidal magma ocean. This model can further account for both the Nuevo Laredo and the Stannern trends but has as a consequence that none of the analyzed eucrites represents a primary melt.     

The evolution of substructure – III. The outskirts of clusters

We present an investigation of satellite galaxies in the outskirts of galaxy clusters taken from a series of high-resolution N -body simulations. We focus on the so-called backsplash population, i.e. satellite galaxies that once were inside the virial radius of the host but now reside beyond it. We find that this population is significant in number and needs to be appreciated when interpreting the various galaxy morphology environmental relationships and decoupling the degeneracy between nature and nurture. Specifically, we find that approximately half of the galaxies with current cluster-centric distance in the interval 1–2 virial radii of the host are backsplash galaxies that once penetrated deep into the cluster potential, with 90 per cent of these entering to within 50 per cent of the virial radius. These galaxies have undergone significant tidal disruption, losing on average 40 per cent of their mass. This results in a mass function for the backsplash population different from those galaxies infalling for the first time. We further show that these two populations are kinematically distinct and should be observable within existent spectroscopic surveys.     

The Rotation of Europa

Theoretical predictions of non-synchronous rotation and of polar wander on Europa have been tested by comparing tectonic features observed in Voyager and Galileo spacecraft images with tidal stresses. Evidence for non-synchronous rotation comes from studying changes in global scale lineaments formed over time, from the character of strike-slip faults, and from comparison of distinctively shaped cycloidal cracks with the longitudes at which such shapes should have formed, in theory. The study of cycloids constrains the rotation period (relative to the direction of Jupiter) to less than 250 000 years, while direct comparison of the orientation of Europa in Voyager and Galileo images shows the rotation is slow, with a period of >12 000 years. Comparison of strike-slip faults with their theoretical locations of formation provides evidence for substantial polar wander, supported by the distribution of various thermally produced features.
