Dynamics of shock waves in a contracting cloud

The contraction of an interstellar cloud is followed. The results indicates that there are shock waves appear during contraction. In order to study the effect of shock waves, two models have been studied. The post-shock temperature for the two models are, respectively, 3006 K and 2984 K. The density increases by more than three orders of magnitude. The gas is generally cooled by atoms, molecules, and grains. The dominant cooling process changes according to the chemical composition and the temperature of the gas. The thermal equilibrium depends on the existing physical conditions.     

Active nuclei of galaxies

The parameters of fifteen active nuclei are determined from spectroscopic and photometric observations. The values of bolometric luminosity, gas volume and mass, kinetic energy, characteristic dimension and kinematic time-scale are given. The fluxes of radiative and mechanical energy of the gas envelope are compared. A steady-state model of the nucleus is proposed with the kinetic energy of the envelope being balanced by the light pressure. The life-time of the nucleus appears to be of the same order of magnitude as the life-time of the surrounding galaxy. The broad emission lines suggest to be caused by the gravitational potential of the nucleus. The masses of the central bodies are calculated on this basis. The typical central body mass of an active nucleus is about 10⁸ solar masses. The mass-luminosity relation is constructed. The steady-state model seems to explain the optical variability process. Collaps to the center of separate gas clouds, as results of Rayleigh-Taylor instability, leads to the flares, amplitudes and time-scales being in agreement with observations.     

Correlations Between Color Gradients and Structural Parameters of Disks in Late-type Spiral Galaxies

From the second group of the data released by the Sloan numerical patrol survey (SDSS DR2), 395 face-on late-type spiral galaxies brighter than 15-th magnitude in the waveband r are selected as the sample. The relations between the color gradients and structural parameters of disks are studied. The results indicate the following: (1) The color gradient is independent of the absolute magnitude (mass) of the disk. (2) The color gradient of disk is concerned with the size of disk. The larger the disk, the steeper the color gradient. (3) The color gradient of disk is concerned with the color of disk. The bluer the disk color, the steeper the gradient. (4) The color gradient of disk is related with the surface brightness of disk. The brighter the disk, the steeper the color gradient. Moreover, the historical constraint formed by the relations between the color gradients of disks and various structural parameters is briefly discussed.     

The radiometric performances of the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer for Mars exploration

The Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) is a Fourier transform interferometer, operating in the range 1.2–45 μm. The instrument, previously included in the payload of the failed mission Mars ′96, is proposed for the future space mission Mars Express, under study by ESA. The present paper is aimed at presenting the radiometric performances of PFS. The two channels (LW and SW) forming PFS were analysed and characterised in terms of sensitivity and noise equivalent brightness. To cover the wide spectral range of PFS, different blackbodies were used for calibration. The built-in blackbodies, needed for the in-flight calibrations, were also characterised. The results show that the LW channel is comparable with IRIS Mariner 9 in terms of noise equivalent brightness. The SW channel performances, while satisfactorily, could be improved by lowering the sensor operative temperature. A simple model of the Mars radiance is used in order to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio on the spectra in typical observation conditions. The computed signal-to-noise ratio for the LW channel varies between 430 and 40, while for the SW channel it ranges from 150 to 30. The radiometric analyses confirm that PFS performances are compliant with the design requirements of the instrument. PFS is fully validated for future remote exploration of the atmosphere and the surface of Mars.

Secular influence of change in the heliocentric gravitation constant <Emphasis Type="Italic">GM</Emphasis><Subscript>⊙</Subscript> on evolution of orbits of Meteor Streams

The Secular influence of the change in the heliocentric gravitational constant on the evolution of orbits of Meteor Streams is examined by using the method of celestial mechanics with variable mass and variable gravitational constant. The change in the heliocentric gravitational constant includes the combined changes in the sun’s mass and gravitational constant obtained from the modern observation of planets and spacecraft. The perturbation equations are solved by expanding series with mean anomaly. The solutions of the secular and periodic variation of orbital elements are derived. The theoretical results for the secular variables of the semi-major axes, solar distances at perihelion and orbital periods are given for three Meteor Streams: Dracorids, Quadrantids, and Ursids. The numerical results are shown in Table 2. The discussion and conclusion are drawn.

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of ionized viscous fluids with FLR-corrections and surface-tension

The problem of Rayleigh-Taylor instability of superposed viscous magnetized fluids through porous medium is investigated in a partially-ionized medium. The fluid has ionized and neutralized particle components interacting with collisions. The effect of surface tension on R-T instability is also included in the present problem. The magnetohydrodynamic equations are modified for finite-Larmor radius corrections which is in the form of tensor. The equations of problem are linearized and using appropriate boundary condition, general dispersion relation is derived for two superposed fluids separated by horizontal boundary. The first part of the dispersion relation gives stable mode and condition is investigated using Hurwitz conditions. The second part of the dispersion relation shows that the growth rate of unstable system is reduced due to FLR corrections, viscosity, and collisional frequency of the neutrals. The role of surface tension on the system is also discussed.

Eruptive instability of cylindrical prominences

The stability of prominences and the dynamics of an eruption are studied. The prominence is represented by an uniformly twisted, curved, magnetic tube, anchored at both ends in the photosphere. Several stages of the eruption are analyzed, from the pre-eruptive phase and the onset of the instability, up to the late phases of the process. Before the eruption, the prominence evolves through a series of equilibrium states, slowly ascending either due to an increase of the electric current or to mass loss. The eruption starts when the ratio of the current to the total mass attains a critical value after which no neighbouring equilibrium exists. The linearized equation of motion was used to obtain the instability threshold, which is presented in a form enabling comparison with the observations. The height at which the prominence erupts depends on the twist, and is typically comparable with the footpoint half-separation. Low-lying prominences are stable even for large twists. The importance of the external field reconnection below the filament, and the mass loss through the legs in the early phases of the eruption is stressed. The oscillations of stable prominences with periods on the Alfvén time-scale are discussed. The results are compared with the observations.     

On a klystron mechanism of generation of vibrations in pulsar magnetosphere

It has been shown that vibrations can be generated in the electron cap of the neutron star (Rylov, 1976, 1977; Jackson, 1976) under certain conditions. The mechanism of generation is like that in a klystron. The electron gas of the cap plays the role of the klystron resonant circuit. The electron beam penetrating the electron cap and returning to the star's surface plays the role of the klystron electron beam. The bunching electron stream along the magnetic axis acts like a strongly directed antenna. The conditions in which it is possible to generate these vibrations were also investigated. The energy of the accelerated primary electrons, the frequency of radiated radiowaves and the degree of the radiation directivity are evaluated.     

Fine Structure of the Core of the Blazar OJ 287-I

The fine structure of the active region, the bulge, of the blazar OJ 287 has been investigated with a resolution of 20 μas (0.1 pc) at a wavelength of 7 mm, the epochs of 2007–2017. The structure and kinematics correspond to a vortex nature. The surrounding matter, the plasma, is transferred to the center along two arms from opposite directions. The emerging excess angular momentum is carried away along the rotation axis by bipolar outflows, rotating coaxial tubes, in a direction X ≈ ?120? in the plane of the sky as it is accumulated. The central high-velocity bipolar outflow has a helical shape. The diameters of the low-velocity flows are ø1 ≈ 0.3 and ø2 ≈ 0.65 mas, or 1.4 and 3 pc, respectively. Ring currents whose tangential directions are observed as parallel chains of components are excited in the flow walls. The peak brightness temperature of the nozzle reaches Tb ≈ 1012?1013 K. A “disk” with a diameter ø ≈ 0.5 mas (≈2.2 pc) is observed by the absorption of synchrotron radiation. The disk is inclined to the plane of the sky at an angle of 60? in the jet direction. The fragments are seen from a distance of ～0.2 mas outside the absorption zone. The jet sizes exceed considerably the counterjet ones. An enhanced supply of plasma from the northern arm gives rise to an independent vortex 0.2 mas away from the central one in the NW direction. As in the first case, the helical central bipolar outflow is surrounded by a low-velocity component ø ≈ 0.28 mas in diameter with built-in ring currents. The jet is ejected in the direction X = ?50? in the plane of the sky. The jet orientation changes, X = ?130? at a distance of 1 mas. A high activity of the central and two side nozzles spaced 0.22 mas apart in the direction X = ?40? is occasionally observed simultaneously. The active region of the blazar is observed through an ionized medium, a screen, whose influence is significant even at a wavelength of 7 mm. The absorption and refraction of the transmitted emission in the screen affect the apparent brightness relative to the positions of the fragments.     

Interaction of the X-ray source radiation with the atmosphere of the normal star in close binary systems

The structure of the stellar atmosphere irradiated by an X-ray source is calculated. On the basis of these numerical calculations an approximate theory of the X-ray reprocessing is formulated. The interaction of X-rays with the stellar atmosphere induces a considerable stellar wind. However, the main part of the X-ray energy is reemitted.The optical appearances of the close binary system including an X-ray source are discussed. The light curve of such a system is obtained. The mass-loss rate of a star with the size close to that of its Roche lobe is evaluated in the isothermal approximation. Most likely, the accretion of matter on to a neutron star, or a black hole, is the cause of the X-ray luminosity. The accreting matter is supplied with the mass outflow from the normal component induced by X-rays. The X-ray luminosity is shown to have an upper limit stipulated by the outflow saturation.The model of HZ Her=Her X1 system is constructed which accounts for the observed light curve. The optical appearances of the system are due to the X-ray heating of the face of the X-ray source area of the normal star. The radiation of this hot area is partly reflected by the surface of the disc around the X-ray source. The thin disc is formed by the accretion of matter by the X-ray source. The effective reflection of hard X-rays (hv15–30 keV) by the stellar surface is considered. This phenomenon makes it possible to detect those X-ray pulsars whose beam does not intercept the Earth.The model of Sco X1 as a black hole in a close binary system is discussed.     

Geomorphologic analysis of some Martian surface images from the Mars 4 and 5 automatic stations

The paper deals with the results of geomorphological analysis of some photographs taken by the Mars 4 and 5 probes. The area studied (700 × 900 km, centered at 32°S, 35°W) covers part of Mare Erythraeum. The main landforms of the area are craters which are sorted into four morphological classes. Fluvial, eolian, and tectonic processes as well as downslope displacement of material are identified with different degrees of certainty.The valleys, which are probably of fluvial origin, exhibit a characteristic hierarchical pattern. The main valley in the area, provisionally named Uzboi, extends from Holden crater to Hale crater. The relations between the present surface elevations and the probable fluvial origin appear to indicate tectonic uplift of some parts of the area in the past. The tectonic movements have broken a hypothetical large valley into a number of fragments, one of which is Ladon valley and another of which is Uzboi valley, although another possible explanation of the observed pattern also exists. An attempt is made to divide the geologic history of the area into stages. The probable fluvial processes seem to have started before the end of the intensive impact cratetring stage. They appear to have continued, though not so intensely, almost to the recent stage. A geomorphological map of the area shownin Fig. 3.     

Stars and substars nearest to the Sun: A study review

The structure of the solar neighborhood and its position in the galaxy, including the galactocentric distances, are analyzed. Catalogues are examined of near-sun stars and substars, which are compiled from ground and space based observations in the optical and infrared spectral regions. The problem of classifying celestial bodies in the galaxy by astrophysical and cosmogonic criteria is discussed. The problem of determining the main characteristics of the nearest stars and substars is analyzed. The statistical relationships are investigated between the main characteristics of stars and substars on the basis of their physical evolutionary models. The physical sense of these relationships is discussed. The calculated differential distribution functions of the astrophysical properties of stars and substars are examined.     

Independent selenocentric system of coordinates by large-scale star-calibrated lunar photography

The selenocentric coordinates of 263 craters and one mountain are given. The scale and orientation of the selenocentric coordinates system is determined by star-calibrated lunar photographs obtained with the long-focus horizontal telescope. The origin of the system is defined by the theory of the motion of the Moon. The physical libration is taken into account for the reduction of the coordinates system to the principal axes of the lunar inertia. The reference stars coordinates are reduced to the FK4 system. The position of the lunar mass centre is determined by LURE-2 theory, the rotation parameters are taken from the Migus tables (Migus, 1980).     

Structural peculiarities of the AGN object 1803+784

The structure of the AGN object 1803+784 has been investigated at a wavelength of 7 mm with a limiting angular resolution reaching 20 μas. The ejector nozzle surrounded by a ring structure, an accretion disk, has been identified. The nozzle size is ∼0.1 pc, the diameter of the ring structure is ∼1.4 pc, and its width is ∼0.25 pc. The reaction of the plasma flow produces a multimode precession responsible for the conical helical structure of the jet with a variable step and a curved axis. The viewing angle of the flow ejection is ∼40°. The central part of the ejected flow moving along the axis accelerates to a relativistic velocity. The apparent velocity reaches 12 s at a distance of ∼1 mas or ∼6 pc from the ejector. The outer part of the flow moves along a helix around a high-velocity component whose step is a factor of 4 smaller, because the longitudinal velocity is relatively low. The plasma is ejected almost toward the observer, as confirmed by its high brightness temperature T _b ≈ 8 × 10¹³ K and highly beamed emission. The polarized emission from the nozzle is axisymmetric. The orientation of the polarization of the flow along the whole length is aligned with the direction of its motion, suggesting the excitation of a ring magnetic field around it and self-focusing.

The possibility of detecting this emission is discussed. The prospects are hopeful as far as cryogenically-cooled instruments in Earth orbit are concerned.
