Based on the standard cosmological model, we calculate the correction to the rate of two-photon 2s ? 1s transitions in the hydrogen atom under primordial hydrogen plasma recombination conditions that arises when the induced transitions under equilibrium background radiation with a blackbody spectrum and plasma recombination radiation are taken into account. 相似文献

We study the nonstationary recombination of hydrogen in the atmosphere of SN 1987A by taking into account ion-molecular processes. The hydrogen excitation due to nonstationary recombination is shown to be enough to explain the observed hydrogen lines in a time interval until day 30 in the absence of additional excitation mechanisms. Thus, the problem of a deficit in the hydrogen excitation that has recently been found in modeling the hydrogen spectrum of SN 1987A at an early photospheric stage by assuming statistical ionization equilibrium is resolved. The mass of the radioactive 56Ni with a spherically symmetric distribution in the outer layers is shown to be close to 10?6 M ⊙. Our model predicts the appearance of a blue peak in the Hα profile between days 20 and 30. This peak bears a close similarity to the observed peak known as the Bochum event. The presence of this peak in the model is attributable to nonstationary recombination and to a substantial contribution of hydrogen neutralization involving H? and H2. 相似文献

The velocity distribution of hydrogen atoms in the terrestrial exosphere was measured as a function of radial distance (up to 7 Earth radii, ER) with the help of a Lyman-α hydrogen absorption cell, flown in 1968 on board the OGO-5 satellite. This paper contains the final analysis of the measurements. As a basis of comparison, the theory for the calculation of projected velocity distribution along a line of sight is established for the theoretical exospheric model of Chamberlain (1963). Self-absorption of Lyman-α photons along a line of sight is included to derive Lyman-α line profiles emerging from the geocorona. The effect of the hydrogen absorption cell, measured by the reduction factor R(p) is predicted as a function of impact parameter p of the line of sight, for various values of the parameters of a Chamberlain's model, nc (density of exobase level), Tc (temperature at the exobase level), and rcs (satellite critical radius). This predicted reduction factor R(p) is compared to the measured Rm(p), with the following findings: the Ly-α line width decreases with radial distance, as expected from the “evaporation and escape” theory of Chamberlain; the measured temperature Tc = 1080 K is in very good agreement with the exospheric temperature prediction from satellite drag data. An upper limit of 8 × 104at. cm?3 is imposed on nc, regardless of photometric absolute calibration. A good fit to data requires the presence of atoms in satellite orbits, distributed in a different fashion than that described by the concept of satellite critical radius. Lyman-alpha radiation pressure is thought to be the cause of this departure from the exospheric theory of Chamberlain (1963), otherwise perfectly confirmed.The same scientific rationale will be applied to exospheric hydrogen of the planets Mars and Venus in subsequent papers. 相似文献

We propose to observe the strongest recombination lines of positronium atoms Lα (2431 Å), Hα (1.3 μm), Pα (3.75 μm), the lines of fine structure of the level n=2 (1.62 cm, 2.30 cm and 3.48 cm) of the ortho Ps and the spin-flip line (0.147 cm) from probable Galactic sources of a narrow annihilation line. The Lα line may be detected by HST from sources with small extinction in their direction. The observations of the Hα and Pα lines are suitable for the best ground based IR telescopes. The maser lines of the fine structure may be observed on large radiotelescopes since the population of the upper sublevel n = 2 is higher than the population of low sublevels. 相似文献

The population densities of all levels with principal quantum numbern=2 in a number of helium-like ions with nuclear charge numberZ, in the range 6 to 28 have been evaluated as a function of various parameters, i.e., electron temperature,T e, electron density,N e, radiation temperature,T r, dilution factor,W, and of the state of ionization. The spectral line fluxes from all possible radiative transitions from these levels have been calculated for an optically thin plasma. The effects of cascades following collisional excitation of higher levels or radiative and dielectronic recombination have been computed in detail. Innershell ionization of the lithium-like ion to form the helium-like ion in a 23 S or 21 S state has been considered. It can have a strong influence on the forbidden line intensity in a non-equilibrium plasma. Collisional and radiative coupling of levels of the same multiplicity (e.g. 23 S 1 and 23 P 2,1,0) have been considered as a function ofT e, Ne orT r, W, respectively. The computations were performed both for stationary and time-varying plasmas. In the latter case strong departures from a stationary ionization equilibrium can significantly alter the line fluxes. A few examples of the results are shown and discussed. 相似文献

We present results for the spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) arising due to bound–bound transitions during the epoch of cosmological hydrogen recombination at frequencies down to ν∼100 MHz . We extend our previous treatment of the recombination problem now including the main collisional processes and following the evolution of all the hydrogen angular momentum substates for up to 100 shells. We show that, due to the low baryon density of the Universe, even within the highest considered shell full statistical equilibrium (SE) is not reached and that at low frequencies the recombination spectrum is significantly different when assuming full SE for n > 2 . We also directly compare our results for the ionization history to the output of the recfast code, showing that especially at low redshifts rather big differences arise. In the vicinity of the Thomson visibility function the electron fraction differs by roughly −0.6 per cent which affects the temperature and polarization power spectra by ≲ 1 per cent. Furthermore, we shortly discuss the influence of free–free absorption and line broadening due to electron scattering on the bound–bound recombination spectrum and the generation of CMB angular fluctuations due to scattering of photons within the high shells. 相似文献

We have calculated the distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectrum in the wavelength range 2–50 cm due to the superposition of the CMB hydrogen recombination radiation in subordinate lines. The level populations were determined by numerically solving the equation of recombination kinetics together with the statistical equilibrium equations for a 60-level model hydrogen atom. The relative distortions are ≈10?7–10?6, with their wavelength dependence having a low-contrast, wavy pattern. However, the contrast increases severalfold and becomes pronounced when passing to the differential distortion spectrum. We study the dependence of the distortions on cosmological parameters. 相似文献

The emissivity for the two photons decay from the metastable level 2s has been computed in the case of a gaseous nebula of pure hydrogen, with both radiative and collisional excitation of the states.The populations of 2s and 2p levels are deduced from the condition of equilibrium with other levels. Electron temperatures between 104 and 4×104K and electron densities between 104 and 106 cm–3 have been investigated.For the optically thin case Ly intensity has also been computed.In the case of collisional excitation a much greater efficiency for the two photons process is found, which profoundly affects the appearance of the continuous spectrum. 相似文献

We report the Balmer broad absorption lines (BALs) in the quasar SDSS J2220 + 0109 discovered from the SDSS data, and present a detailed analysis of the peculiar absorption line spectrum, including the He I* multiplet at λλ3189, 3889 arising from the metastable 23s-state helium and the Balmer Hα and Hβ lines from the excited hydrogen H I of n = 2 level, which are rarely seen in quasar spectra, as well as many absorption lines arising from the excited Fe II* of the levels 7 955 cm−1, 13 474 cm−1 and 13 673 cm−1 in the wavelength range 3100∼3300 Å. Ca II H, K absorption line doublets also clearly appear in the SDSS spectrum. All absorption lines show a similar blueshifted velocity structure of Δv ≈ − 1500 ∼ 0 km·s−1 relative to the quasar's systematic redshift determined from the emission lines. Detailed analysis suggests that the Balmer absorption lines should arise from the partially ionized region with a column density of NHI ≈ 1021 cm−2 for an electron density of ne ∼ 106 cm−3; and that the hydrogen n = 2 level may be populated via collisional excitation with Lyα pumping. 相似文献

We consider density fluctuations of a two-fluid model consisting of hydrogen plasma and radiation prior to the cosmic hydrogen recombination. As investigation method that of the dispersion relations is applied, which have been derived from the general-relativistic sound-wave equations taking into account the coupling between plasma and radiation carefully. We obtain growing unstable acoustic modes within the mass range 2 · 106 M ⊙ < M < 6 · 10 12 M ⊙. In a second step the coupled differential equations for the amplitudes of the unstable modes are integrated numerically with respect to time where the integration extends from the initial time prior to the hydrogen recombination up to the present time. We find a significant increase of the amplitudes up to 4 orders of magnitude, if the Universe is described by a cosmological model with a positive cosmological constant (Λ ? 2,2 · 10-56 cm-2) and a positive curvature (Lemaître-Universe) without an essential amount of cold dark matter. We conclude that the existence of galaxies confirm these statements. 相似文献

UBV observations of the X-ray binary system A0535+26/V725 Tau at the Crimean Station of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute in 1980–1998 are presented. Based on our and published data, we analyze the photometric history of the star from 1898. Over a period of 100 years, the star apparently showed all three activity phases (B, Be, Be-shell) of Be stars. We conclude that the X-ray activity of the object is attributable to the 1970–1997 outburst of the Be star due to envelope ejection. The star's colors during the minimum light of 1998 and its 1953–1956 colors (before the outburst) correspond to the spectral type B0–B1 at the color excesses E B-V = 0.74 and E U-B = 0.48, in agreement with the current spectral type O9.7. The minimum light of 1998 and the color excesses are used to determine the colors of the additional radiation, analyze their evolution during the 1973–1997 outburst, and refine the distance to the object (3 kpc). The colors of the additional radiation at maximum light of the star (1973–1980) match the colors of a hydrogen plasma with T e = 1.5 × 104 K which is optically thick in the Balmer continuum. The brightness decline corresponds to a decrease in the optical depth of the plasma; at $V \simeq 9_.^m 1$ , it becomes optically thin in the Balmer continuum with T e = 104 K and N e = 1010 ? 1012 cm?3. This conclusion is consistent with the model of a circumstellar envelope but is inconsistent with the existence of an accretion disk around the neutron star. All the additional radiation responsible for the optical variability is produced by a single source. The intensity of the Hα emission line at maximum light (1975–1980) is triple its intensity in 1987–1997, when quasi-periodic light fluctuations with P ≈ 1400d were observed [1]. At this time, the line intensity correlated with brightness. The Hα line was in absorption at the minimum of 1998, and, at present, the star's active phase appears to have ended. 相似文献

The impact theory of spectral line broadening is used to obtain complete profiles for radio recombination lines perturbed by electron and proton impact. The collisions can be divided into two types: inelastic, where transitions take place between hydrogen levels with different principal quantum number n and elastic, where the transitions are only between degenerate levels for a particular value of n. The widths of the radio lines are essentially determined by inelastic electron collisions and elastic proton collisions with the emitting hydrogen atom occupying either the upper or lower levels of the line.Here, earlier work is extended to examine the contribution from proton collisions to the line width in more detail, and it is shown that the trends in the behaviour of the widths again confirm previous results. 相似文献

An instrument for the measurement of three different infrared regions of the OH Meinel system was launched in night conditions from El Arenosillo Sounding Rocket Range (Spain). The instrument covered transitions between vibrational states from v = 2tov = 7 in the first overtone sequence. The altitude profiles of the concentration of OH1 in the vibrational levels 2 to 7 are deduced. The individual profiles show that there is a dependence of the characteristics of the layers (altitude of the peak and half width) on the vibrational level. The lower levels extend to lower altitude than the higher ones. The obtained profiles are used, on the basis of a photochemical model, to investigate the values for the rate constants of the production and the chemical and collisional deactivation of atmospheric OH1. 相似文献

The formation of first molecules, negative Hydrogen ions, and molecular ions in a model of the Universe with cosmological constant and cold dark matter is studied. The cosmological recombination is described in the framework of modified model of the effective 3-level atom, while the kinetics of chemical reactions is described in the framework of the minimal model for Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Helium. It is found that the uncertainties of molecular abundances caused by the inaccuracies of computation of cosmological recombination are approximately 2–3%. The uncertainties of values of cosmological parameters affect the abundances of molecules, negative Hydrogen ions, and molecular ions at the level of up to 2%. In the absence of cosmological reionization at redshift z = 10, the ratios of abundances to the Hydrogen one are 3.08 × 10–13 for H–, 2.37 × 10–6 for H2, 1.26 × 10–13 for H2+, 1.12 × 10–9 for HD, and 8.54 × 10–14 for HeH+. 相似文献

The University of Wisconsin–Madison and NASA–Goddard conducted acomprehensive multi-wavelength observing campaign of coma emissionsfrom comet Hale–Bopp, including OH 3080 Å, [O I] 6300 Å H2O+ 6158 Å, H Balmer-α 6563 Å, NH2 6330 Å, [C I] 9850 ÅCN 3879 Å, C2 5141 Å, C3 4062 Å,C I 1657 Å, and the UV and optical continua. In thiswork, we concentrate on the results of the H2O daughter studies.Our wide-field OH 3080 Å measured flux agrees with other, similarobservations and the expected value calculated from published waterproduction rates using standard H2O and OH photochemistry.However, the total [O I] 6300 Å flux determined spectroscopically overa similar field-of-view was a factor of 3-4 higher than expected.Narrow-band [O I] images show this excess came from beyond theH2O scale length, suggesting either a previously unknown source of[O I] or an error in the standard OH + ν→ O(1 D) + H branching ratio. The Hale–Bopp OH and[O I] distributions, both of which were imaged tocometocentric distances >1 × 106 km, were more spatiallyextended than those of comet Halley (after correcting for brightnessdifferences), suggesting a higher bulk outflow velocity. Evidence ofthe driving mechanism for this outflow is found in the Hα lineprofile, which was narrower than in comet Halley (though likelybecause of opacity effects, not as narrow as predicted by Monte-Carlomodels). This is consistent with greater collisional coupling betweenthe suprathermal H photodissociation products and Hale–Bopp's densecoma. Presumably because of mass loading of the solar wind by ionsand ions by the neutrals, the measured acceleration of H2O+ downthe ion tail was much smaller than in comet Halley. Tailwardextensions in the azimuthal distributions of OH 3080 Å,[O I], and [C I] , as well as a Doppler asymmetry in the[O I] line profile, suggest ion-neutral coupling. While thetailward extension in the OH can be explained by increased neutralacceleration, the [O I] 6300 Å and [C I] 9850 Å emissions show 13%and >200% excesses in this direction (respectively), suggesting anon-negligible contribution from dissociative recombination of CO+and/or electron collisional excitation. Thus, models including theeffects of photo- and collisional chemistry are necessary for the fullinterpretation of these data. 相似文献

Two extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometers flown in December 1978 on Venera 11 and Venera 12 measured the hydrogen Lyman α emission resonantly scattered in the atmosphere of Venus. Measurements were obtained across the dayside of the disk, and in the exosphere up to 50,000 km. They were analyzed with spherically symmetric models for which the radiative transfer equation was solved. The H content of the Venus atmosphere varies from optically thin to moderately thick regions. A shape fit at the bright limb allows one to determine the exospheric temperature Tc and the number density nc independently of the calibration of the instrument or the exact value of the solar flux. The dayside exospheric temperature was measured for the first time in the polar regions, with Tc = 300 ± 25°K for Venera 11 (79°S) and Tc = 275 ± 25°K (59°S) for Venera 12. At the same place, the density is nc = 4?2+3 × 104 atom.cm?3, and the integrated number density Nt from 250 to 110 km (the level of CO2 absorption) is 2.1 × 1012 atom.cm?2, a factor of 3 to 6 lower than that predicted in aeronomical models. This probably indicates that the models should be revised in the content of H-bearing molecules and should include the effect of dynamics. Across the disk the value of Nt decreases smoothly with a total variation of two from the morning side to the afternoon side. Alternately it could be a latitude effect, with less hydrogen in the polar regions. The nonthermal component if clearly seen up to 40,000 km of altitude. It is twice as abundant as at the time of Mariner 10 (solar minimum). Its radial distribution above 4000 km can be simulated by an exospheric distribution with T = 1030K and n = 103 atom.cm?3 at the exobase level. However, there are less hot atoms between 2000 and 4000 km than predicted by an ionospheric source. A by-product of the analysis is a determination of a very high solar Lyman α flux of 7.6 × 1011 photons (cm2 sec Å)?1 at line center (1 AU) in December 1978. 相似文献

Analyses of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra of Saturn lead to an inhomogeneous atmospheric model, having a clear gas layer which lies above an absorbing particle layer which lies above an ammonia haze layer. The boundary between the clear layer and the absorbing particle layer is at a pressure of 0.2 atm in the equatorial region and 0.3 atm in the temperate region. The boundary between the absorbing particle layer and the haze layer is at the radiative-convective boundary. Observations of ammonia absorption lines indicate that sunlight penetrates the haze to the ammonia sublimation level at a depth of 1.1 atm. Absorbing particles cause the observed decrease in reflectivity from visible to ultraviolet wavelengths. Consideration of the wavelength variation of Mie scattering parameters leads to an upper limit of about 0.2 μm for the particle radii and a particle number density of 103 cm?3. Some possible particle compositions are discussed. Comparison of computed 3-0 and 4-0 band hydrogen quadropole line equivalent widths with observed values leads to a haze layer optical thickness above the ammonia sublimation level of approximately 10. Equivalent widths computed for an equilibrium distribution of states agree better with observed values than those computed for a normal distribution. Methane 3ν3 band manifold equivalent widths are in best agreement with measured equivalent widths for a CH4/H2 abundance ratio of 2 × 10?3, which is 4.5 times the solar C/H ratio. 相似文献
