Time-dependent Green's functions of the cosmic ray equation of transport

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.     

(Super) cosmological solution for the Kasner model

In the theory of supergravity (N=1), the supersymmetric version of general relativity, and for the Kasner cosmological model (Bianchi type I) we find a non-trivial solution (for the metric and spinor-vector) under the most simple assumption =₁₁ + ₂₂; ₁₂+₂₁=0 and for a special choosed gaugeN=1,N ^j=0, ₀=0. This method could be also applied to other cosmological metrics and extended to enlarged Grassmann basis.O. Obregón was partially supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung.     

A new octuple Earth-crossing meteoroid stream

It was shown that the orbit of Virginid meteors is an octuple Earth-crosser so that the stream can produce eight related meteor showers. Of these eight theoretical showers five are identified in the catalogues; one of these is the Cygnids.

Effects of mass transfer on the unsteady free convection flow past an accelerated vertical porous plate with variable suction

An exact analysis of the effects of mass transfer on the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an uniformly accelerated vertical porous and non-porous plate has been presented on taking into account the free convection currents. The results are discussed with the effects of the Grashof number Gr, the modified Grashof number Sc, the Schmidt number Sc, and the suction parametera for Pr (the Prandtl number)=0.71 representating air at 20°C.Nomenclature a suction parameter - C species concentration - C species concentration at the free stream - g acceleration due gravity - Gc modified Grashof number (vg^*(C –C )/U ₀ ³ ) - Pr Prandtl number (C _p/K) - T temperature of the fluid near the plate - T dimensionless temperature near the plate ((T-T )/(T -T )) - U(t) dimensionless velocity of the plate (U/U ₀) - v normal velocity component - v ₀ suction/injection velocity - x, y coordinate along and normal to the plate - v kinematic viscosity (/gr) - C _p specific heat at constant pressure - C _w species concentration at the plate - C non-dimensional species concentration ((C-C )/(C _w -C )) - Gr Grashof number (g(T _w -T )/U ₀ ³ ) - D chemical molecular diffusivity - K thermal conductivity - Sc Schmidt number (/D) - T _w temperature of the plate - T free stream temperature - t time variable - t dimensionless time (tU ₀ ² /) - U ₀ reference velocity - u velocity of the fluid near the plate - u non-dimensional velocity (u/U ₀) - v dimensionless velocity (v/U ₀) - v ₀ non-dimensionalv ₀ (v ₀ /U₀)=–at^–1/2 - y dimensionless ordinate (yU ₀/) - density of the fluid - coefficient of viscosity     

Distribution of polarization and intensity of radiation across the stellar disk and numberical values of atmospheric characteristics governing this distribution

Computations of polarization and intensity of radiation from a unit stellar surface area are presented, as well as a study of the numerical characteristics of atmospheres — single-scattering albedo and the initial source function(), which define the polarization behaviour of atmospheres. The radiatively stable models of stellar atmospheres presented by Kuruczet al. (1974) and Kurucz (1979) have been used for calculations. Since the versus optical depth dependence is rather weak, it has been assumed that (=cost. With a fixed effective temperatureT _eff maximum values of are characteristic of stars featuring the lowest surface gravity accelerationg. Among stars with radiatively stable atmospheres, maximum values of (=5000 Å) 0.4–0.6 are exhibited by supergiants withT _eff=8000–20 000 K. The plot of () is characterized by discontinuities at the boundaries of spectral series for hydrogen and, sometimes, for helium. Maximum are attained in the Lyman region of =912–1200 Å, where can reach the value 0.7–0.9 for supergiants, this value being 0.3 for Main-Sequence stars. For stars withT _eff 35 000 K, high values of also are attained for <912 Å. Within the infrared region, is always small because of bremsstrahlung absorption.A rapid growth of the source functionB with < typical for ultraviolet range (within the Wien part of spectrum), together with high values of results in the strong polarization of emission from a unit stellar surface element, sometimes exceeding the values for the case of a pure electron scattering. For longer wavelengths, where the limb-darkening coefficient is smaller, the plane of polarization abruptly turns 90° in the central parts of the visible stellar disk.     

Filter observations of prominences in the D3 and Hα lines

D₃ and H pictures of prominences were obtained with a 21-in. Lyot coronograph and a Fabry-Perot etalon used as a narrow band filter. The monochromatic images of quiescent, quasiquiescent and loop-prominences were studied. The comparison of the isophotes of quiescent and quasi-quiescent prominences in D₃ with those in H shows the similarity of the prominence structure at both wavelength, although there is a strong tendency for an increase in the intensity ratio D₃/H in the upper region of prominences. It seems that it is due to lower temperature in the upper regions of prominences. Probably, the relaxation processes establishing ionization equilibrium play some role. Measurements of the knot intensities of the loop-prominence show strong variations of the intensity ratio D₃/H (more than one order of magnitude).

Implications of a strongly peaked polar magnetic field

Using the flux-transport equation in the absence of sources, we study the relation between a highly peaked polar magnetic field and the poleward meridional flow that concentrates it. If the maximum flow speed _m greatly exceeds the effective diffusion speed /R, then the field has a quasi-equilibrium configuration in which the poleward convection of flux via meridional flow approximately balances the equatorward spreading via supergranular diffusion. In this case, the flow speed () and the magnetic field B() are related by the steady-state approximation () (/R)B()/B() over a wide range of colatitudes from the poles to midlatitudes. In particular, a general flow profile of the form sin ^p cos ^q which peaks near the equator (q p) will correspond to a cos ⁿ magnetic field at high latitudes only if p = 1 and _m = n /R. Recent measurements of n 8 and 600 km² s^–1 would then give _m 7 m s^–1.

Stability of the libration points of a rotating triaxial ellipsoid

The problem of stability of the equilibrium points (the libration points) in the problem of motion of a mass point in the neighbourhood of a rotating triaxial ellipsoid is investigated in the strict sense.In the plane of parameters, depending on the form and dynamical characteristics of the ellipsoids, the regions of stability and instability of the libration points are obtained.It is shown that the libration points of the ellipsoids, the form and dynamical characteristics of which are close to the planets of the solar system, are stable.

Scanner observations of the Be starsν Gem,κ Ori,β Mon andω CMa

The photoelectric spectrophotometric scans of the Be stars Gem, Ori, Mon and CMa have been analyzed to find out few stellar parameters. The absolute energy distributions of these stars in the wavelength range 350–750 nm have been given. Their effective temperatures and gravities have been estimated from comparisons with non-LTE model atmospheres. The stars Gem and Mon have been found to have Balmer discontinuities in emission. The excess emission in the region 620–750 nm has been observed for Mon and CMa. The evolutionary aspects of these stars are discussed and their masses have been estimated.     

A comparison between the helium 10830 Å and the hydrogen Hα chromospheres

Spectroheliograms of resolution about 2 arc sec obtained simultaneously in He 10830 Å and H show in the network a very close agreement in position of dark H mottles and of bright H plage remnants with 10830 Å absorption, though there is not a one-to-one relation between the intensities; the typical intensity in 10830 Å, corrected for overlapping lines, is I 0.91 of the continuum. Some parts of the network do not appear in 10830 Å. This line is much weaker over supergranule centres (I 0.98), though near active regions dark H fibrils coincide with faint 10830 Å fibrils (I0.93–0.98).Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.

Stability of the librational triangular points of the three-dimensional elliptic restricted three-body problem is studied. The problem is solved in the non-linear statement at the small values of eccentricity.For all values ofe, , besides ones which correspond to the resonances of the third and the fourth order the librational points are stable taking into account the terms up to the fourth order in the normal form of the Hamiltonian function of the perturbed motion.At sufficiently smalle and the non-stability in sense of Liapunov has been proved. The approximate equations of the boundary of the stability area in the planee, has been obtained. The cause of the non-stability is an equality of the rotational period of the principal attracting masses in the elliptic orbit and the period of oscillation of indefinitely small mass along the direction perpendicular to the plane of their motion.

     

Energy losses of solar cosmic rays in interplanetary space

A simple model of solar cosmic ray propagation which includes diffusion, convection, and energy loss by adiabatic deceleration is studied. A Monte Carlo technique is employed to investigate the variation of mean particle energy in the interplanetary medium after the impulsive release of mono-energetic particles at the Sun. At 1 AU typical energy losses are 43% at 20 h and 64% at 60 h after particle release for a diffusion coefficient (r)= ₀r with =+1/2 and ₀=1.33 × 10²¹ cm² s^–1. When ₀ in this model is reduced by a factor of 4, the energy loss is greater by a factor of 2 at 60 h after particle release. When is increased, the energy losses are greater. Using the model parameters above, an increase in solar wind speed from 300 to 600 km s^–-1 gives rise to energy losses that are greater again by factor of 2 at a time of 60 h. Results are compared with an observation by Murray et al. (1971) of a knee in the energy spectrum of solar protons. It is not considered likely that the change in the energy of the knee with time requires, in addition to adiabatic deceleration, another energy change process which acts to increase the energy of particles.Part of this work was performed while the author was at CSIRO, Division of Radiophysics, Epping, NSW, Australia; also supported in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.     

Orientation of interstellar and interplanetary grains

The explicit expressions for the orientation distribution function of interstellar and interplanetary dust grains in the anisotropic corpuscular or radiation fluxes, with consideration for the magnetic field influence, are obtained. An orientation is shown to be possible in a medium having an anisotropic temperature, which is usually the case for a non-equilibrium plasma in a magnetic field. It is noted that the small inhomogeneous dust grains should possess a specific rotation of polarization. The orientation of these dust grains is considered. The time required for the orientation is estimated. A possibility of explaining the interstellar polarization and polarization of the cometary radiation is discussed.
