The selection effects that govern the observations of Visual Binary Stars are investigated, in order to obtain a realistic statistical distribution of the mass-ratioq=M
sec/M
prim. To this end a numerical simulation programme has been developed, which generates binary stars and looks at them to determine whether an observer on Earth would be able to detect them. The simulations show that for mass-ratiosq>0.35, observations are expected to reveal the realq-distributions, while for mass-ratiosq<0.35 selection effects begin to play a major part. It is found that the observed mass-ratio distribution for Main-Sequence systems, derived from theIndex Catalogue of Visual Binary Stars (IDS), can be explained by a distribution of secondary masses according to the Initial Mass Function (IMF), i.e., (M)M
–2.7.From theFourth Catalogue of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars (OVB) authors find aq-distribution that peaks strongly forq-values close toq=1. It is shown that this mass-ratio distribution may be the result of a sampling selection effect. Due to this sampling selection effect, the OVB is a considerably morebiased sample of the binary population in our Galaxy than the IDS. Numerical simulations of biased sampling show that theq-distribution, found from the OVB, is not incompatible with the distribution of secondary masses according to the IMF (forq>0.35), found from the IDS.Because of the selection effects, it is difficult to establish the realq-distribution forq<0.35. If the realq-distribution departs from (q)q
–2.7 forq0.35, about 36% of all stars are in visual binaries (i.e., if theq-distribution is assumed to be flat for 0<q<0.35); if the distribution flattens forq0.25, about 60% of the stars must be primaries of visual binaries. 相似文献

(the third component of the gyrostatic momentum).The possible types of solutions (elliptic, trigonometric, stationary) depend upon the nature of the roots of the functiong(u). The solutions for Euler angles are given in terms of functions of the timet. If we cancel the third component of the gyrostatic momentum (l

The exact geometry of the Roche curvilinear coordinates (, , ) in which corresponds to the zero-velocity surfaces is investigated numerically in the plane, as well as in the spatial, case for various values of the mass-ratio between the two point-masses (m
1,m
2) constituting a binary system.The geometry of zero-velocity surfaces specified by -values at the Lagrangian points are first discussed by taking their intersections with various planes parallel to thexy-, xz- andyz-planes. The intersection of the zero-velocity surface specified by the -value at the Lagrangian equilateral-triangle pointsL
4,5 with the planex=1/2 discloses two invariable curves passing through the pointsL
4,5 and situated symmetrically with respect to thexy-plane whose form is independent of the mass-ratio.The geometry of the remaining two coordinates (, ) orthogonal to the zero-velocity surfaces is investigated in thexy- andxz-planes from extensive numerical integrations of differential equations generated from the orthogonality relations among the coordinates. The curves (x, y)=constant in thexy-plane are found to be separated into three families by definite envelopes acting as boundaries whose forms depend upon the mass-ratio only: the inner -constant curves associated with the masspointm
1, the inner -constant curves associated with the mass-pointm
2 and the outer -constant curves. All the -constant curves in thexy-plane coalesce at either of the Lagrangian equilateraltriangle pointsL
4,5, except for a limiting case coincident with thex-axis. The curves (x, z)=constant in thexz-plane are also separated by definite envelopes depending upon the mass-ratio into different families: the inner -constant curves associated with the mass-pointm
1, the inner -constant curves associated with the mass-pointm
2 and the outer -constant curves on both sides out of the envelopes. For larger values ofz, the curves =constant tend asymptotically to the line perpendicular to thex-axis and passing through the centre of mass of the system, except for a limiting case coincident with thex-axis. The geometrical aspects of the envelopes for the curves (x, y)=constant in thexy-plane and the curves (x, z)=constant in thexz-plane are also discussed independently.In the three-dimensional space, the Roche coordinates can be conveniently defined in such a way as to correspond to the polar coordinates in the immediate neighbourhood of the origin, and to the cylindrical coordinates at great distances. From numerical integrations of simultaneous differential equations generating spatial curves orthogonal to the zero-velocity surfaces, the surfaces (x, y, z)=constant and the surfaces (x, y, z)=constant are constructed as groups of such spatial curves with common values of some parameters specifying the respective surfaces.On leave of absence from the University of Tokyo as an Honorary Fellow of the Victoria University of Manchester. 相似文献

Two spherically symmetric time-dependent Green's functions of the equation of transport for cosmic rays in the interplanetary region are derived by transform techniques. The solar wind velocity is assumed radial and of constant speedV. In the first model the radial diffusion coefficient =0
r (0 constant), and in the second solution =0= constant. The solutions are for monoenergetic, impulsive release of particles from a fixed heliocentric radius. Integration of the solutions over timet, fromt=0 tot=, gives the steady-state Green's functions obtained previously. 相似文献

We compare families of simple periodic orbits of test particles in the Newtonian and relativistic problems of two fixed centers (black holes). The Newtonian problem is integrable, while the relativistic problem is highly non-integrable.The orbits are calculated on the meridian plane through the fixed centersM
1 (atz=+1) andM
2 (atz=–1) for energies smaller than the escape energyE=1. We use prolate spheroidal coordinates (, , =const) and also the variables =cosh and =–cos . The orbits are inside a curve of zero velocity (CZV). The Newtonian orbits are also limited by an ellipse and a hyperbola, or by two eillipses. There are 3 main types of periodic orbits (1) elliptic type (around both centers), (2) hyperbolic-type, and (3) resonant-type.The elliptic type orbits are stable in the Newtonian case and both stable and unstable in the relativistic case. From the stable orbits bifurcate double period orbits both symmetric and asymmetric with respect to thez-axis. There are also higher order bifurcations. The hyperbolic-type orbits are unstable. The Newtonian resonant orbits are defined by the ratiot
µ/t
=n/m of oscillations along and during one period, and they are all marginally unstable. The corresponding relativistic orbits are stable, or unstable. The main families are figure eight orbits aroundM
1, or aroundM
2 (3/1 orbits); gamma, or inverse gamma orbits (4/2); higher resonant families 5/1,7/1,...,8/2,12/2,...;, more complicated orbits, like 5/3, and bifurcations from the above orbits. Satellite orbits aroundM
1, orM
2, and their bifurcations (e.g. double period) exist in the relativistic case but not in the Newtonian case. The characteristics of the various families are quite different in the Newtonian and the relativistic cases. The sizes of the orbits and their stabilities are also quite different in general. In the Appendix we study the various types of straight line orbits and prove that some subcases introduced by Charlier (1902) are impossible. 相似文献

In a simple approximation, the evolution of a stellar system can be described in terms of the solutions to a diffusion equation for motion in a harmonic potential. This paper presents a discussion and characterization of the normal modes for this equation. These solutions are of particular interest in that they provide a simple example of the interplay between dynamical and relaxation phenomena. For the case of a large system, in which the relaxation timet
r is much greater than the dynamical timet
d,there exists a well-defined sense in which the effects of relaxation may be viewed as a perturbation of motion in the fixed field: the dynamical effects give rise to a purely oscillatory behavior, whereas collisions among stars provide a dissipative mechanism that drives the system towards the unique isothermal equilibrium. Alternatively, the presence of the fixed potential serves to alter the e-folding time for the various modes. In the limit thatt
r
t
d
, all characteristic relaxation times are essentially doubled. This suggests a danger in the use of velocity space equations to model the effects of evaporation. 相似文献

Hall effects on the flow of electrically conducting rarefied gas due to combined buoyant effects of thermal and mass diffusion past an infinite porous plate with constant suction in the presence of strong transverse magnetic field have been investigated. The equations governing the flow poblem have been solved for primary, secondary velocities and temperature. The effects of Hall current, magnetic field and the effect of rarefication have been discussed graphically followed by a discussion.Nomenclature

Free convection effects on MHD flow past a semi infinite porous flat plate is studied when the time dependent suction velocity changes in step function form. The solution of the problem is obtained in closed form for the fluid with unit Prandtl number. It is observed that for both cooling and heating of the plate the suction velocity enhances the velocity field. The heat transfer is higher with increase in suction velocity.Notations

The cooling effect of emission in the spectral lines, which dominates over continuous emission in the chromosphere and becomes important first around the temperature minimum, modifies greatly the radiative relaxation timet
r in the solar atmosphere. This rises from low photospheric values to a maximum of 8 min just aboveT
min, falls in the low chromosphere to 1.5 min because of line emission, but rises again to 6 min atT 7000–8400 K in the chromosphere where hydrogen ionization increases the specific heat. 相似文献

An analysis of the effects of Hall current on hydromagnetic free-convective flow through a porous medium bounded by a vertical plate is theoretically investigated when a strong magnetic field is imposed in a direction which is perpendicular to the free stream and makes an angle to the vertical direction.

In this paper I present a new evolution model of QSOs luminosity. The model is based on edges distribution of apparent magnitude-redshift of QSOs. After the quasars were formed, the luminosities were increasing until they attained their maximum value atz=2+a, where –0.1a0.6, then the luminosities were decreasing.

The paper introduces a new time element to be used with a general time transformation for satellite equations of motion. The purpose of this time element is to reduce the growth of the numerical errors with respect to the time integration. It is characteristic for the new time element , that the relation between the timet and the element does not depend on the independent variables. 相似文献

It is shown that the cosmological interpretation of the red shift in the spectra of quasars leads to yet another paradoxical result: namely, that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Consequences of this result are examined.Einstein distinguishes between two main criteria [for a good theory]: (a) theexternal confirmation of a theory, which informs us in experimental checks of the correctness of the theory, and (b) theinner perfection of a theory which judges its logical simplicity or naturalness. 相似文献

Numerical solution of the effect of current-carrying jets on the temperature of an astrophysical surrounding is carried out using classical magnetohydrodynamic equations. Under the assumption of small hydrodynamic and magnetic Reynolds numbers and invoking a jet magnetic field intensityB
, which confines high pressure jets along thez-axis, a non-linear equation is generated and solved by asymptotic approximation. It is found that when the field intensity is large, the temperature of the surrounding is small and vice-versa. The problem is of interest in the astrophysical studies of current-carrying jets or magnetised radio jets. 相似文献

Distribution of the redshift difference (z) between emission and absorption lines of QSOs is half-gaussian. Also, the quantity z increases with increase in emission line redshift (z
em). The correlation between the two quantities (z andz
em) is statistically significant. The interpretation of the results indicate that the co-moving density of absorbing clouds decreases with redshift and that the absorbing clouds are associated with the QSOs rather than completely unrelated intervening material. 相似文献
