1988年12月16日太阳射电大爆发的快速精细结构(英文)

本文介绍用“三波段太阳射电高时间分辨率同步观测系统”所观测到的1988年12月16日三波段(1420MHz、2840MHz、4000MHz)太阳射电大爆发中毫秒级精细结构的观测特征,指出太阳射电快速活动在射电爆发的不同阶段具有不同的特征,首先在爆发的上升沿出现2840MHz的毫秒尖峰辐射群,继而在1420MHz上出现毫秒级尖峰辐射群,并且还在以后的几个爆发次峰上陆续出现,在长达两小时的大爆发过程中,在4000MHz上始终未产生毫秒级尖峰辐射,这也反应了射电尖峰辐射现象存在着一定的带宽。特别引起注意的是毫秒级尖峰辐射群均出现在射电爆发的峰值附近,在其它时间的记录中尚未发现毫秒尖峰辐射。 三波段的秒级射电爆发曲线如图1所示。毫秒级精细结构如图2所示。由图2可见,单个尖峰辐射的持续随频率的减小而增加,2840MHz多为10—20ms,1420MHz多为30—170ms;所产生的尖峰辐射群强度不大,而且很少有孤立的尖峰;2840MHz尖峰辐射的强度一般为450—900sfu,1420MHz一般为500—1770sfu(1sfu=10~(-22)WM~(-2)Hz~(-1));还特别引起注意的是在2840MHz上当所出现的尖峰辐射群结束时,往往出现持续时间为100ms的流量下降现象,(此种现象在以往的观测中未曾见过),详见图2b和2c;关于事件尖峰辐射的丰度,仅对几个尖峰辐射群作了统计如下: 在1420M

太阳射电爆发中准周期振荡的研究

自从快速连续采样在太阳射电观测中实现以来,太阳射电爆发资料的研究价值大大提高。如太阳射电尖峰辐射(spike)的存在、用付里叶变换的方法进行准周期振荡的研究等目前在太阳物理研究中存在着争论的问题,可用观测事实加以验证。 1989年5月3日我们取得了一组与X2/3B耀斑共生的spikes及同年8月17日与环珥、HXR、SID对应的射电分米波爆发现象,其射电爆发寿命均大于10分钟。前者的形

微波Ⅲ型爆发的一些初步研究

云南天文台“四波段（１．４２ＧＨｚ,２．１３ＧＨｚ,２．８４ＧＨｚ和４．２６ＧＨｚ）太阳射电高时间同步观测系统”在１９９０．１～１９９４．１期间,观测到５个具有短时标漂移结构的射电爆发事件,也就是微波Ⅲ型爆发。本文从中选取较典型的１９９１年３月１３日事件,对Ⅲ型爆发的时间轮廓（持续时间,衰减时间）作了分析,并与米波,分米波和微波段其它观测结果作了一些比较,以求对长厘米～短分米波段（微波低端）Ⅲ型爆发的时间轮廓的特征有一个初步的了解,最后对爆发的物理参数作了估计。

OH masers at 1612 and 1720 MHz in star-forming regions

Masers at the ground-state OH satellite transitions near 1612 and 1720 MHz are occasionally found in star-forming regions, accompanying the dominant maser of OH at 1665 MHz. The satellite lines can then be valuable diagnostics of physical conditions in star-forming regions if we can first ascertain that all maser species truly arise from the same site. For this purpose, newly measured satellite line positions with subarcsecond accuracy are reported here, and compared with masers of main-line OH at 1665 MHz, with methanol masers at 6668 MHz, and with ultracompact H  ii regions. We confirm that most of the satellite-line OH masers that we have measured are associated with star-forming regions, but a few are not: several 1612-MHz masers are associated with late-type stars, and one 1720-MHz maser is associated with a supernova remnant. The 1720-MHz masers in star-forming regions are accounted for by a pumping scheme requiring high densities, and are distinctly different from those in supernova remnants where the favoured pumping scheme operates at much lower densities.     

Large-aperture telescopes in the problems of near-Earth astronomy

Telescopes with aperture higher than 3 m and with travel rate of optical axis of more than 4 angular degrees per second are examined. These telescopes are used for estimating the situation in near-Earth space. Up to now, there are three telescopes with such parameters: SOR, AMOS, SST (all in the United States). A telescope of the same class with aperture of 3.12 m (information telescope TI-3.12) is under completion at Altai Optical Laser Center. The main technical performances of the TI-3.12 telescope are described in the paper. Current problems are defined and ways for their solution are presented.     

Ellipsoids, material points and material segments

Simple models of potential based on material points and material segments are confronted with a homogeneous ellipsoid potential. A spheroid is approximated with a pair of material points or with one material segment. The segment model proves to be more accurate. For a triaxial ellipsoid, two models are considered: one with five material points and one with two material segments and a point. When their parameters are determined with the fourth sectorial harmonic ignored, both simple models have a similar approximation error. Numerical tests indicate that the approximate models of a triaxial ellipsoid are 5 to 10 times faster than exact formulation, whereas for a spheroid the approximate models are at most twice as fast as the exact formulae.     

Time elements in Keplerian orbital elements

Time elements are introduced in terms of Keplerian (classical) orbital elements for use with time transformations of the Sundman type. Three different time elements are introduced. One time element is associated with the eccentric anomaly, a second time element is associated with the true anomaly, and a third time element is associated with theintermediate anomaly.Numerical results are presented that show accuracy improvements of from one to two orders of magnitude when time elements are employed along with Sundman time transformations, compared with using time transformations alone.     

Characteristics of transverse oscillations in a coronal loop arcade

TRACE observations from 15 April 2001 of transverse oscillations in coronal loops of a post-flare loop arcade are investigated. They are considered to be standing fast kink oscillations. Oscillation signatures such as displacement amplitude, period, phase and damping time are deduced from 9 loops as a function of distance along the loop length. Multiple oscillation modes are found with different amplitude profile along the loop length, suggesting the presence of a second harmonic. The damping times are consistent with the hypothesis of phase mixing and resonant absorption, although there is a clear bias towards longer damping times compared with previous studies. The coronal magnetic field strength and coronal shear viscosity in the loop arcade are derived.     

Two-body relaxation in cosmological simulations

It is logically possible that early two-body relaxation in simulations of cosmological clustering influences the final structure of massive clusters. Convergence studies in which mass and spatial resolution are simultaneously increased cannot eliminate this possibility. We test the importance of two-body relaxation in cosmological simulations with simulations in which there are two species of particles. The cases of two mass ratios, √2:1 and 4:1, are investigated. Simulations are run with both a spatially fixed softening length and adaptive softening using the publicly available codes gadget and mlapm , respectively.
The effects of two-body relaxation are detected in both the density profiles of haloes and the mass function of haloes. The effects are more pronounced with a fixed softening length, but even in this case they are not so large as to suggest that results obtained with one mass species are significantly affected by two-body relaxation.
The simulations that use adaptive softening are less affected by two-body relaxation and produce slightly higher central densities in the largest haloes. They run about three times faster than the simulations that use a fixed softening length.

Connections between jet physics and the properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet galaxies

Relationships between jet physics and the evolutionary phases of radio galaxies are discussed. This includes the connection between the properties of relativistic jets and the Fanaroff–Riley classes of radio galaxies and the interaction of jets with the interstellar medium in Gigahertz Peak Spectrum and Compact Steep Spectrum Radio Sources. Jets in Seyfert galaxies are compared with those in classical radio galaxies and recent work suggesting that there are major differences between the two types of jets is summarized. The proposed major differences are principally that Seyfert jets are thermally dominated with subrelativistic speeds whereas Radio Galaxy jets are relativistic electron/positron flows. Hence, the production of jets in Seyferts and radio galaxies are fundamentally different.     

Narrowing effects on lines by strong correlation between highly excited states (I)

Overlapping recombination line parameters are searched. The dynamical equations are formulated, and the limits of their acceptance are discussed in detail. Except formal solutions for characteristic functions or lines profiles, relations for lines displacement are both represented with narrowed effective width.Particle impact scattering, as well as the strong influence of quasistationary plasma fields are accounted for. Effects of highly excited states interference due to powerful electromagnetic waves interaction are also studied. Some of the asymptotics found are compared with well-known ones.In optically thick media, associated with lines narrowing conditions, recombination lines conserve the energy of quanta in the limits of line width effectively enough to make them visible, e.g. as for decametric lines of ions.     

Interferometry: The tool to study giant, supergiant and Mira stars

Late-type giant stars have been traditional targets for infrared interferometers. They are bright and big and are therefore easy targets to resolve and to detect. Considerable progress has been and is being made on the spatial structure of these objects thanks to existing interferometers. Beyond the classical measurement of their diameters, pulsations have been directly detected, spatial intensity distributions are more and more understood and more important, consistent scenarios for both spectroscopic and interferometric measurements are on the verge to be validated. All this has been possible with prototype instruments having a small number of baselines and very limited spectral capabilities. AMBER and MIDI will surely open a new era with high spectral resolution, high efficiency and imaging capabilities. This is not an exhaustive review of all the work done in the field but rather a presentation of the context. A recent review of Mira star observations with interferometers was recently written (Scholz, 2003).A brief science case is first introduced in this paper. Achievements with high angular resolution single-telescope techniques are presented. The contributions of optical and infrared interferometers are then explained. Eventually, some hints about the possible progress with VLTI are discussed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
