Frequency modified fourier transform and its application to asteroids

Recently a method has been suggested to analyze the chaotic behaviour of a conservative dynamical system by numerical analysis of the fundamental frequencies. Frequencies and amplitudes are determined step by step. As the frequencies are not generally orthogonal, a Gramm-Schmidt orthogonalization is made and for each new frequency the old amplitudes of previously determined frequencies are corrected. For a chaotic trajectory variations of the frequencies and amplitudes determined over different time periods are expected. The change of frequencies in such a calculation is a measure of the chaoticity of the trajectory. While amplitudes are corrected, the frequencies (once determined) are constant. We suggest here simple linear corrections of frequencies for the effect of other close frequencies. The improvement of frequency determination is demonstrated on a model case. This method is applied to the first fifty numbered asteroids.     

Upper estimates for the element number of non-redundant antenna configurations on square and hexagonal grids

Estimates for the maximum number of elements of non-redundant configurations on integer square and hexagonal grids of given sizes are derived (a “non-redundant” configuration implies that the vector differences between its elements are all distinct). When projecting a large 2-D interferometer or a telescope, such an estimate can be used as a guide for evaluating the maximum possible number of antennas in a non-redundant configuration that can be arranged within a given area. The suggested estimates are empirical and based on the available data. They are obtained by reducing the problem to the linear case and by generalizing the method applied therein. Examples of applying the method are presented.     

Spectral Observations of BIG Objects. III

Results of spectral observations of 66 objects from the BIG (Byurakan IRAS Galaxies) sample made with the 1.93 m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP, France) are presented. Emission lines are observed from 64 of the galaxies. The red shifts are determined, the radial velocities, distances, and absolute stellar magnitudes are calculated, the spectrum line parameters are determined, diagnostic diagrams are constructed, the objects are classified according to activity type, and their IR and far-IR luminosities are calculated. Of the 66 objects (corresponding to 61 IRAS sources), 6 are Sy2, 2 are LINERs, 8 are AGN (Sy2 or LINER), 10 are composite, 34 are HII, and 4 are Em of undetermined type. It is calculated that IRAS 07479+7832= BIG d141a is a ultraluminous IR galaxy (ULIG), and 21 are LIG. Spectra of several of the galaxies being studied are presented.     

Metric spaces of Keplerian orbits

Several metric spaces of Keplerian orbits and a set of their most important subspaces, as well as a factor space (not distinguishing orbits with the same longitudes of nodes and pericentres) are constructed. Topological and metric properties of them are established. Simple formulae to calculate the distance are deduced. Applications to a number of problems of Celestial Mechanics are discussed.     

Expansion of the solar wind from a two-hole corona

A one-fluid model is employed to study the global expansion of the solar wind from a two-hole corona, under the assumptions that the holes are confined to polar caps within 30° of heliographic colatitude, the flow is steady and axisymmetric, and the geometry of streamlines is prescribed. The boundary conditions are adjusted in such a way that the calculated solar wind properties at 1 AU are in a reasonable agreement with observational results. A series of numerical solutions are obtained, the series produces a maximum terminal speed of 829 km s^?1 at the pole. The calculated solar wind speeds are strongly latitude dependent and are positively correlated with local divergence factor of a stream tube. The solutions imply that most plasma properties are highly inhomogeneous at the polar caps. The flow velocity, the temperature, the proton number flux and the conduction heat flux all increase towards the hole center.     

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.     

Variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 6362

We report the results of a CCD search for short-period variables in the field of a southern globular cluster NGC 6362. We identified 19 new candidate variables, five of which are cluster RR Lyraes, four are probable SX Phe-type stars and eight are eclipsing binaries. Of the discovered binaries, three are EA-type systems, two of which are located on the cluster CMD in the turn-off region and the third 1 mag above the turn-off point, in the yellow straggler region. Five other systems are of W UMa type, three of which are foreground objects and two are likely cluster members. The remaining two candidates exhibit a modulation of the brightness level with an amplitude of 0.1–0.2 mag; further observations are needed to reveal the nature of their variability. Phased VI light curves for 20 variables (18 RR Lyrae stars and two blue stragglers) located in the central region of the cluster are presented.

Is 1220 Crocus a precessing,binary asteroid?

Photoelectric observations of asteroid 1220 Crocus (an Eos family member) show evidence for two distinct periods in its light variation: 30.7 days and 7.90 hr. The lightcurve amplitudes are 0.87 and 0.15 mag, respectively. The shorter period variation appears to be modulated over the longer period. Two periods are possible for a rigid body only if it is in a state of precession. The observations are shown to be compatible with a body in a forced precession state. This result leads us to hypothesize the existence of a satellite of Crocus as the source of the external torque. Calculations are presented which show that there are in fact dynamically possible “binary asteroid” solutions consistent with the observations. More photoelectric and perhaps direct (space telescope) observations are needed to resolve the true nature of this asteroid.     

Jovian proton Aurora

The planet Jupiter possesses a magnetic field and is surrounded by a magnetosphere. The occurrence of auroral and polar cap phenomena similar to those found on earth is very likely. In this work auroral and polar cap emissions in a model Jovian atmosphere are determined for proton precipitation. The incident protons, which are characterized by representative spectra, are degraded in energy by applying the continuous slowing down approximation. All secondary and higher generation electrons are assumed to be absorbed locally and their contributions to the total emissions are included. Volume emission rates are calculated from the total direct excitation rates with corrections for cascading applied. Results show that most molecular hydrogen and helium emissions for polar cap precipitation are below the ambient dayglow values. Charge capture by precipitating protons is an important source of Lyman α and Balmer α emissions and offers a key to the detection of large fluxes of low energy protons.
