We determined the locations of Galactic spiral arm segments for various age groups from the available data on the positions, ages, radial velocities, and proper motions of 440 δ Cephei variables using a previously developed technique. We obtained such parameters of the Galactic spiral structure as the arm pitch angle, , and the pattern speed, ΩP = 21.7 ± 2.8 km s?1 kpc?1, which are comparable to and ΩP = 20.4 ± 2.5 km s?1 kpc?1, respectively, determined previously from open star clusters. Based on the radial velocities and proper motions of the sample stars, we derived the rotation curve of the Galaxy for the range of Galactocentric distances approximately from 6 to 15 kpc. Using the pattern speed, we determined the positions of the corotation region and the inner and outer Lindblad resonances. We estimated the perturbation amplitudes of the Galactic velocity field, f R = ?1.8 ± 2.5 km s?1 and f ? = +4.0 ± 3.4 km s?1. 相似文献

The proposed model explains the Moon formation as a result of a thermo-nuclear explosion due to which a big land mass was torn off from the Earth. Within the model framework, on the one hand, the data on the Moon’s physical and chemical parameters are in good agreement. On the other hand, this model corresponds to modern ideas about the dynamism of the Earth’s geological structure which presupposes the presence of a powerful energy source in the Earth’s core, which might have thermonuclear origin. 相似文献

We find that Einstein’s like field equations with coordinate-dependent cosmological “constant” Λ(x i ) imply a non geodesic law of motion for test particles moving in a continuous distribution of incoherent matter (“dust”). The deviation from the geodesic law depends on the derivatives ?Λ/? x i and, in the weak field approximation, causes an anomalous acceleration A~(Vc 2/γ ρ)?Λ/? t+(c 4/γ ρ)?Λ/? r where V=dr/dt, c=the speed of light, γ=8π G with G=the gravitational coupling, ρ=the mass density of the cloud, r and t are the radial and time coordinate respectively. Reasonable assumptions on Λ=Λ(t) give A<10?8 cm/s2 when ρ>10?29 g/cm3 i.e. in all known astrophysical systems. A possible connection with the anomalous Pioneer acceleration is shortly discussed in the case of a cosmological “constant” coupled to matter. 相似文献

It is assumed that the original impulse producing Pi-2 pulsations is generated in the ionosphere at the moment of a brightening of aurora. The electric field is known to decrease in the auroral arc almost by an order of magnitude. The electric impulse that appears will be transferred along magnetic field lines and reflected from the ionosphere of the opposite hemisphere, forming the standing Alfvén wave. The electric field impulse of 100 is capable of causing magnetic field oscillations of order of 100 γ. Reflection of the Alfvén impulse from the ionosphere with horizontal inhomogeneities corresponding to different forms of auroras is studied. The following is found: (a) the resonance is possible only for harmonics with the rotating vector of polarization; (b) the resonance periods appear to depend essentially on the ionospheric conductivity; this may bring a significant error into determination of the magnetospheric plasma density from the pulsation periods; (c) the auroral zone exerts a screening influence on the pulsations excited at latitudes higher than the zone itself. 相似文献

The results of analysis of approximately 3 years of gamma-ray observations (August 2008-July 2011) of the radio galaxy Centaurus
A with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) are presented. By modeling the surrounding (background) sources including
the giant lobes of Centaurus A, and using the standard binned likelihood analysis method, the energy spectrum of the core
is derived. In the energy range below several GeV it is described by a single power-law with photon index Γ = 2.73 ± 0.06
in agreement with the report of the Fermi LAT collaboration based on the first 10 months observations of the source. However,
at higher energies the new data show significant excess above the extrapolation of the energy spectrum from low energies.
The total flux between 200 MeV to 50 GeV is estimated to be (1.63 ± 0.14) × 10−7 ph cm−2 s−1. The comparison of the corresponding Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) at GeV energies with the SED in the TeV energy band
reported by the H.E.S.S. collaboration shows that we deal with two or perhaps even three components of gamma-radiation originating
from different regions located within the central 10 kpc of Centaurus A. 相似文献

Exploring weakly perturbed Keplerian motion within the restricted three-body problem, Lidov (Planet Space Sci 9:719–759, 1962) and, independently, Kozai (Astron J 67:591–598, 1962) discovered coupled oscillations of eccentricity and inclination (the KL cycles). Their classical studies were based on an integrable model of the secular evolution, obtained by double averaging of the disturbing function approximated with its first non-trivial term. This was the quadrupole term in the series expansion with respect to the ratio of the semimajor axis of the disturbed body to that of the disturbing body. If the next (octupole) term is kept in the expression for the disturbing function, long-term modulation of the KL cycles can be established (Ford et al. in Astrophys J 535:385–401, 2000; Naoz et al. in Nature 473:187–189, 2011; Katz et al. in Phys Rev Lett 107:181101, 2011). Specifically, flips between the prograde and retrograde orbits become possible. Since such flips are observed only when the perturber has a nonzero eccentricity, the term “eccentric Kozai–Lidov effect” (or EKL effect) was proposed by Lithwick and Naoz (Astrophys J 742:94, 2011) to specify such behavior. We demonstrate that the EKL effect can be interpreted as a resonance phenomenon. To this end, we write down the equations of motion in terms of “action-angle” variables emerging in the integrable Kozai–Lidov model. It turns out that for some initial values the resonance is degenerate and the usual “pendulum” approximation is insufficient to describe the evolution of the resonance phase. Analysis of the related bifurcations allows us to estimate the typical time between the successive flips for different parts of the phase space. 相似文献

Shear and compressional dust Alfvén solitons in a magnetized plasma medium of opposite polarity dust
A. A. Mamun 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2014,351(1):173-179
Shear and compressional dust Alfvén solitons propagating in a medium of opposite polarity magnetized dust fluids have been theoretically studied by using the reductive perturbation method. The derivative nonlinear Shrödinger (DNLS) and Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equations, and their stationary solitonic solutions have been derived to identify the basic properties of shear and compressional dust Alfvén solitons. It is found that the opposite polarity dust medium under consideration supports the shear and compressional dust Alfvén solitons having new features with new (slow) time and (large) length scales. The basic features (amplitude and width) of the shear dust Alfvén solitons are found to be significantly different from those of the compressional ones. The importance of our results in understanding the nonlinear (localized) electromagnetic wave phenomena in space environments and laboratory devices is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The study of old open clusters outside the solar circle can bring constraints on formation scenarios of the outer disc. In particular, accretion of dwarf galaxies has been proposed as a likely mechanism in the area. We use BVI photometry for determining fundamental parameters of the faint open cluster ESO 92-SC05. Colour–magnitude diagrams are compared with Padova isochrones, in order to derive age, reddening and distance. We derive a reddening E ( B − V ) = 0.17 , and an old age of ∼6.0 Gyr. It is one of the rare open clusters known to be older than 5 Gyr. A metallicity of Z ∼ 0.004 or [M/H]∼−0.7 is found. The rather low metallicity suggests that this cluster might be the result of an accretion episode of a dwarf galaxy. 相似文献

We present the first C-shock and radiative transfer model that calculates the evolution of the line profiles of neutral and
ion species like SiO, H13CO+ and HN13C for different flow times along the propagation of the shock through the unperturbed gas. We find that the line profiles
of SiO characteristic of the magnetic precursor stage have very narrow linewidths and are centered at velocities close to
the ambient cloud velocity, as observed toward the young shocks in the L1448-mm outflow. Consistently with previous works,
our model also reproduces the broad SiO emission detected in the high velocity gas in this outflow, for the downstream postshock
gas in the shock. This implies that the different velocity components observed in L1448-mm are due to the coexistence of different
shocks at different evolutionary stages. 相似文献

A meteorite-dropping event was observed by the camera network in western Canada on February 6, 1980, precisely 3 years after the fall of the Innisfree meteorite. The orbits of the two objects are essentially identical, making this the first observational evidence for multiple falls from the same orbit. Minor differences in the argument of perihelion and longitude of the node were presumably caused by Earth perturbations at times of previous close encounters. An impact location near the town of Ridgedale, Saskatchewan, is indicated with a predicted mass of 1.8 kg for the object. The Ridgedale event was much less luminous than Innisfree, with a peak absolute panchromatic magnitude near −7.5 with no evidence for the multiple fragmentation observed for Innisfree. Considerations of the probability of detecting two related objects with the meteorite camera networks suggest that Innisfree (a brecciated LL chondrite) was a near-surface fragment from a recent parent object with a radius of several tens of meters. A campaign to locate the Ridgedale object is planned since its recovery would allow various comparisons of great interest with the Innisfree chondrite. 相似文献

Like the investigation of double white dwarf (DWD) systems, strange dwarf (SD) - white dwarf (WD) system evolution in Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)'s absolute amplitude-frequency diagram is investigated. Since there is a strange quark core inside an SD, SDs' radii are significantly smaller than the value predicted by the standard WD model, which may strongly affect the gravitational wave (GW) signal in the mass-transferring phases of binary systems. We study how an SD-WD binary evolves across LISA's absolute amplitude-frequency diagram. In principle, we provide an executable way to detect SDs in the Galaxy's DWD systems by radically new windows offered by GW detectors. 相似文献

We present the 6-m SAO telescope spectroscopy of HS 2134+0400, a blue compact galaxy (BCG) discovered within the framework of a dedicated Hamburg/SAO survey for low-metallicity BCGs (HSS-LM). Its very low abundance of oxygen (12 + log(O/H) = 7.44) and other heavy elements (S, N, Ne, Ar) allows this dwarf galaxy to be assigned to the group of eight lowest-metallicity BCGs among the several thousand BCGs known in the nearby Universe. The measured heavy-element abundance ratios (S/O, Ne/O, N/O, and Ar/O) are in good agreement with the typical values found for other very metal-poor BCGs. The spatial location of HS 2134+0400 is atypical of the majority of BCGs: it lies in the Pegasus void, a large region with a very low density of galaxies with normal or higher luminosities. In addition to HS 2134+0400, we found a dozen more very metal-poor galaxies in voids. Therefore, we discuss the hypothesis that this type of objects may be representative for the population of dwarf galaxies in voids. 相似文献

At first it is shown that a magnetic field being force-free, i.e. satisfying × B = B, with = constant ( 0) in the whole exterior of the Sun cannot have a finite energy content and cannot be determined uniquely from only one magnetic field component given at the photosphere. Then the boundary value problem for a semi-infinite column of arbitrary cross section is solved by a Green's function method. 相似文献

Measurements with a CCD camera were made of two Fell lines at =6747.7 Å and 6149.2 Å in the spectra of 12 Am stars. The greater line strength of Fell 6147.7 Å relative to that of 6149.2 Å can be taken as evidence of a magnetic field in the atmosphere of the classical Am-star 15 Vul. Our observations support the conclusion of Mathys and Lanz [1] that a magnetic field is present in the atmosphere of yet another Am star, o Peg. For the rest of the stars studied the differences in the equivalent widths of the Fell lines can be explained by blending of the Fell line 6147.7 Å. Using the Fell line 6149.2 Å, which is free of blending, we estimate the iron content of the atmospheres of 12 Am stars with effective temperatures ranging from 7400 K to 9800 K. Our results indicate a star-to-star variation in log (Fe) of no less than 0.5 dex, a value greater than the measurement accuracy.Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 37, No. 2, pp. 187–195, April–June, 1994. 相似文献

We obtained low resolution (R=100) mid-infrared (8–13 μm wavelengths) spectra of 8 nearby young main sequence stars with the Keck 1 telescope and Long-Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) to search for 10 μm silicate (Si–O stretch) emission from circumstellar dust. No stars exhibited readily apparent emission: Spectra were then analyzed by least-squares fitting of a template based on a spectrum of Comet Hale-Bopp. Using this technique, we were able to constrain the level of silicate emission to a threshold 10 times below what was previously possible from space. We found one star, HD 17925, with a spectrum statistically different from its calibrator and consistent with a silicate emission peak of 7% of the photosphere at a wavelength of 10 μm. Excess emission at 60 μm from this star has already been reported. 相似文献

We study the influence of intracluster large scale magnetic fields on the thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) effect. In a macroscopic approach we complete the hydrostatic equilibrium equation with the magnetic field pressure component. Comparing the resulting mass distribution with a standard one, we derive a new electron density profile. For a spherically symmetric cluster model, this new profile can be written as the product of a standard (β-) profile and a radius dependent function, close to unity, which takes into account the magnetic field strength. For non-cooling flow clusters we find that the observed magnetic field values can reduce the SZ signal by ∼10% with respect to the value estimated from X-ray observations and the β-model. If a cluster harbours a cooling flow, magnetic fields tend to weaken the cooling flow influence on the SZ-effect. 相似文献

Multiple observations made by several different telescopes have shown asymmetry between the number of spiral galaxies rotating in opposite directions in different parts of the sky. One of the immediate questions regarding the possible asymmetry of the spin directions is whether the distribution forms a cosmological-scale axis. This paper analyzes and compares 10 different datasets published in the past decade, collected by SDSS, Pan-STARRS, and Hubble Space Telescope. The datasets contain spiral galaxies separated by their spin direction, and the distribution can show dipole axes. The analysis shows that the directions of the most probable dipole axes are consistent in datasets that have similar average redshift, but different between datasets that have different average redshift. The analysis also shows that the location of the most probable axis correlates with the average redshift of the galaxies in the datasets. That is, the location of the most probable axis shifts when the redshift gets higher, and the correlation is statistically significant. This provides a certain indication of a drift in a possible axis formed by the distribution of galaxy spin directions, or a cosmological scale structure that peaks at a certain distance from Earth. 相似文献
