The problem of electromagnetic perturbations of charged dust particle orbits in interplanetary space has been re-examined in the light of our better understanding of the large scale spatial and temporal interplanetary plasma and field topology. Using both analytical and numerical solutions for particle propagation it was shown that: (1) stochastic variations induced by electromagnetic forces are unimportant for the zodiacal dust cloud except for the lowest masses, (2) systemetic variations in orbit inclinations are unimportant if orbital radii are larger than 10 a.u. This is due to the solar cycle variation in magnetic polarity which tends to cancel out systematic effects, (3) systematic variations in orbital parameters (inclination, longitude of ascending node, longitude of perihel) induced by electromagnetic forces inside 1 a.u. tend to shift the plane of symmetry of the zodiacal dust cloud somewhat towards the solar magnetic equatorial plane, (4) inside 0.3 a.u. there is a possibility that dust particles may enter a region of “magnetically resonant” orbits for some time. Changes in orbit parameters are then correspondingly enhanced, (5) the observed similarity of the plane of symmetry of zodiacal light with the solar equatorial plane may be the effect of the interaction of charged interplanetary dust particles with the interplanetary magnetic field. Numerical orbit calculation of dust particles show that one of the results of this interaction is the rotation of the orbit plane about the solar rotational axis. 相似文献

The propagation and the head—on collision of nonlinear dust—acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) in dusty plasmas consisting of
electrons, ions and negative as well as positive dust particles are investigated. Applying an extended Poincaré-Lighthill-Kuo
(PLK) method, Kortwege-de Vries equations and analytical phase shifts after the head-on collision of two DASWs in dusty plasmas
are obtained. Analytically and numerically, the relevance of the phase shifts and trajectories to the positive-to-negative
dust number density ratio, the ratio of the ion number density to negative dust number density, negative-to-positive dust
particle mass ratio, and the ion-to-electron temperature ratio effects is explicitly demonstrated. Moreover, the current findings
are applied to different regions of space, viz. cometary tails, mesosphere, Jupiter’s magnetosphere. 相似文献

We used theIRAS All Sky Maps in order to search for infrared emission in the direction of the Okroy Cloud (R.A.=12h50m, =22°). An enhancement of 100 m diffuse emission is evident in such a region, with an anomalous value of the ratioI

The extremely red galaxies (ERGs) are defined in terms of their very red optical-to-near IR colours (as R − K >5 or I − K >4). Originally this selection was aimed at selecting old (>1 Gyr) passively evolving elliptical galaxies at intermediate redshift (1< z <2), but it was soon discovered that young star-forming dusty galaxies can show similar colours and therefore be selected in the same surveys. It is crucial to distinguish between these two populations because they have very different consequences on the models of galaxy formation. Here we show that old ellipticals and dusty starbursts are expected to show different colours in the ( I − K ) versus ( J − K ) diagram for redshift range 1< z <2, thus providing a useful tool to classify ERGs in large samples up to K <20. This is mainly owing to the fact that old galaxies at these redshifts have a strong 4000-Å break at λ <1.2 μm ( J band), while dusty galaxies show smoother spectral energy distributions and therefore redder J − K colours. We discuss this difference in detail both in the framework of the stellar population synthesis models and by using observed spectra. The selection criterion is also compared with the properties of ERGs of known nature. We also show that this colour selection criterion is also useful to separate the ERGs from brown dwarf stars showing similar optical-to-IR colours. 相似文献

The Ulysses spacecraft is orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse (i = 79°). After its Jupiter flyby in 1992 at a heliocentric distance of 5.4 AU, the spacecraftreapproached the inner solar system, flew over the Suns south polar region in September 1994,crossed the ecliptic plane at a distance of 1.3 AU in March 1995, and flew over the Suns northpolar region in July 1995. We report on dust impact data obtained with the dust detector onboardUlysses between January 1993 and December 1995. We publish and analyse the complete dataset of 509 recorded impacts of dust particles with masses between 10−16 g–10−7 g. Together with 968 dust impacts from launch until the end of 1992 published earlier (Grün et al., 1995c), information about 1477 particles detected with theUlysses sensor between October 1990 and December 1995 is now available. The impact ratemeasured between 1993 and 1995 stayed relatively constant at about 0.4 impacts per day andvaried by less than a factor of ten. Most of the impacts recorded outside about 3.5 AU arecompatible with particles of interstellar origin. Two populations of interplanetary particles havebeen recognized: big micrometer-sized particles close to the ecliptic plane and smallsub-micrometer-sized particles at high ecliptic latitudes. The observed impact rate is comparedwith a model for the flux of interstellar dust particles which gives relatively good agreement withthe observed impact rate. No change in the instruments noise characteristics or degradation of thechanneltron could be revealed during the three-year period. 相似文献

Recent experimental results on the evolution of targets, simulating cometary bodies and interplanetary grains, under the action of energetic protons are summarized. The main finding is that carbon-rich volatiles evolve toward a complex organic material which in turn, when bombarded at higher doses, is transformed to a carbon-like material becoming completely different from the original matrix. The applications of these results to comets and interplanetary grains shows that galactic or solar fast protons are able to build up large amounts of organic refractory material down to depths of ∼ 100 m in a comet and of carbon-like materials on grains that are supposed to be cometary debris. This implies that relevant component materials of comets and grains lose their supposed “primitive” nature and “forget” what they were in the galactic cloud from which the Solar System was generated. 相似文献

In the present study existence domains of large amplitude dust–ion acoustic (DIA) solitary structures are analyzed in an unmagnetized and collisionless, electronegative plasma containing inertial positive and negative ions, inertialess superthermal electrons with two different temperatures and negatively charged stationary dust. Using the Sagdeev pseudopotential technique, the energy-balance equation has been derived and the critical values (lower and upper limits) of the Mach number are also determined. The effect of different physical parameters has been analyzed for the formation of these nonlinear structures. Also the critical values of different physical parameters have been determined to establish parametric regimes for the existence of positive/negative potential DIA solitary structures. 相似文献

The chondritic‐porous subset of interplanetary dust particles (CP‐IDPs) are thought to have a cometary origin. Since the CP‐IDPs are anhydrous and unaltered by aqueous processes that are common to chondritic organic matter (OM), they represent the most pristine material of the solar system. However, the study of IDP OM might be hindered by their further alteration by flash heating during atmospheric entry, and we have limited understanding on how short‐term heating influences their organic content. In order to investigate this problem, five CP‐IDPs were studied for their OM contents, distributions, and isotopic compositions at the submicro‐ to nanoscale levels. The OM contained in the IDPs in this study spans the spectrum from primitive OM to that which has been significantly processed by heat. Similarities in the Raman D bands of the meteoritic and IDP OMs indicate that the overall gain in the sizes of crystalline domains in response to heating is similar. However, the Raman ΓG values of the OM in all of the five IDPs clearly deviate from those of chondritic OM that had been processed during a prolonged episode of parent body heating. Such disparity suggests that the nonaromatic contents of the OM are different. Short duration heating further increases the H/C ratio and reduces the δ13C and δD values of the IDP OM. Our findings suggest that IDP OM contains a significant proportion of disordered C with low H content, such as sp2 olefinic C=C, sp3 C–C, and/or carbonyl contents as bridging material. 相似文献

As the saturnian magnetoplasma sweeps past Enceladus, it experiences both a decrease in electron content and sharp slowdown in the northern hemisphere region within ~5 Enceladus Radii (Re). This slowdown is observed by Cassini in regions not obviously associated with the southern directed plume-originating ions. We suggest herein that the decrease in northern hemisphere electron content and plasma slowdown could both be related to the presence of fine dust grains that are being accelerated by the Lorentz force created within the saturnian magnetic field system. 相似文献

Four surveys in which the geometrical parameters were suitable for observations on weak scattering objects were carried out by the Venera 9, 10 orbiters using 3000–8000 Å spectrometers. The results of one survey can be explained by a dust layer at the height of sighting h = 100–700 km. Its absence in other sessions suggests a ring structure. The spectrum of dust scattering is a power function of the wavelength with the index varying from ?2.1 at 100km to ?1.3 at 500km. A method is proposed for obtaining the optical thickness, density and size distribution of dust particles from the scattering spectra. For m > 10?14 g the number of dust particles with a mass higher than m is proportional to m?1.3. The radial optical thickness τ is 0.7 × 10?5 at 5000 Å assuming the geometric thickness δ to be 100 km. The maximum optical thickness along the normal to the plane of the ring is τn = 4 × 10?6. The mass of the ring is 20 tons or 5 × 10?3 g cm?1 per unit circumference length; the maximum mass in a column normal to the ring plane is 10?10g cm?2; the maximum density (for δ = 100 km) is 10?17 g cm?3. A satellite of Venus gradually destroyed by temperature effects and by meteorite streams and plasma fluxes is suggested as the source of dust in the ring. One of 1 km radius could sustain such a ring for a billion years. The zodiacal light intensity near Venus is estimated. 相似文献

The question of the collisional production of the β meteoroids is reexamined incorporating recent experimental results (A. Fugiwara, G. Kamimoto, A. Tsukamoto, 1977, Icarus31, 277–288). The collisional model yields a flux of fragments supported by the conservation of mass flux which does not account by far for the observed flux of submicron grains. Particles larger than about 100 μm will be destroyed by collisions inside 1 AU, well before they can get near the Sun. The existence of two independent populations of interplanetary dust grains as proposed by L. B. Le Sergeant and Ph. L. Lamy (1978, Nature266, 822–824; 1980, Icarus43, 350–372) appears reinforced. It is proposed that the bulk of submicron grains does not necessarily travel in hyperbolic orbits and that β meteoroids may be a phenomenon—possibly transitory—of limited importance. 相似文献

The currently available infrared data on scattered light from the dust comae of ernis and Bowell set stringent upper limits to the contribution of icy grains. For Comet ernis the data is consistent with only a 10% mass fraction of water-ice included within silicate-organic-carbon grains of scale radius 15 microns, while for Comet Bowell there is no evidence for any ice component. A coma of small (10–100m) organic grains containing a fraction of OH-bearing molecules that evaporate over weeks at 5 AU and leave an absorptive carbonaceous grain residue is the simplest model for Comet Bowell. 相似文献

A continuity equation is developed to model the evolution of a swarm of self-propelled ‘smart dust’ devices in heliocentric orbit driven by solar radiation pressure. These devices are assumed to be MEMs-scale (micro-electromechanical systems) with a large area-to-mass ratio. For large numbers of devices it will be assumed that a continuum approximation can be used to model their orbit evolution. The families of closed-form solutions to the resulting swarm continuity equation then represent the evolution of the number density of devices as a function of both position and time from a set of initial data. Forcing terms are also considered which model swarm sources and sinks (device deposition and device failure). The closed-form solutions presented for the swarm number density provide insights into the behaviour of swarms of self-propelled ‘smart dust’ devices an can form the basis of more complex mission design methodologies. 相似文献

Infrared spectra obtained from the Mariner 9 spacecraft during the 1971–1972 dust storm are used to derive information on the composition and particle size distribution of the dust and to study the time evolution of the storm. The dust is not composed of pure granite, basalt, basaltic glass, obsidian, quartz, andesite, or montmorillonite. The infrared spectra suggest that the dust is a mixture of materials, dominated by igneous silicates with >62;60% SiO2, or weathering products such as clay minerals, but the dust could possibly have a significant component of lower SiO2 materials such as basalt. Substantial quantities of carbonates, nitrates, or carbon suboxide are excluded from the mixture. All infrared, visible, and ultraviolet data on the Martian surface composition seem consistent with a mixture of basalt and clay minerals or high SiO2 igneous rocks, with a surface patina of oxides of iron. For all candidate compositions, the data are best matched with a size distribution that approximates a differential power law function of slope ?4. This size distribution is quite similar to terrestial size distributions in regions remote from sources of dust. The relative abundance of particles between 1- and 10-μm radius did not change during the Mariner 9 mission; thus suspended particles did not experience Stokes-Cunningham fallout but instead were supported by turbulence with an eddy diffusion coefficient, . The aerosol optical depth, standardized to 0.3-μm wavelength, varied from about 1.5 early in the mission to about 0.2 at Orbit 200. 相似文献

The mid- and high-latitudes of Mars are covered by a smooth young mantle that is interpreted as an atmospherically derived air-fall deposit of ice and dust related to recent climate changes. In order to determine relative and absolute ages of this surface unit within the southern hemisphere, a systematic survey of all available HiRISE and CTX images in the Malea Planum region from 55–60°S latitude and 50–70°E longitude was performed and the distribution and the morphology of small impact craters on the mantle deposit were investigated. Using crater size-frequency measurements, we derived absolute model ages of ~3–5 Ma for the surface of the mantle, immediately south of the Hellas basin rim. Morphologic observations of the mantle, its fresh appearance, very low number of craters, and superposition on older units support this very young Amazonian age. Nearly all observed craters on the smooth mantle in Malea Planum are small and show signs of erosion, evidence for the ongoing modification of the ice–dust mantle. However, this modification has not been strong enough to reset the surface age. Compared to the ice–dust mantle at higher latitudes in the northern and southern hemisphere, the surface of the mantle in Malea Planum is older and thus has been relatively stable during obliquity changes in the last ~3–5 Ma. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the ice–dust mantle is a complex surface deposit of different layers, that shows a strong latitude dependence in morphology and has been deposited and degraded at different times in martian history. 相似文献

The internal dynamics of an illuminated dust cloud of finite optical thickness is investigated. The dependence of the radiation pressure on the optical depth makes the individual particles oscillate, in one dimension, around the accelerated centre of gravity of the cloud. The cloud moves as an entity, irrespectively of the velocity dispersion of the particles and their efficiency for radiation pressure. If the optical depth does not change, i.e. if the cloud does not expand laterally, its lifetime is unlimited. A contraction caused by energy dissipation in mechanical collissions between the dust particles is expected. The range of particle sizes which can be transported by such a “coherent cloud” is estimated, as well as the acceleration of the whole cloud. The structure of the cloud in real space and in velocity space is investigated. A comparison with the “striae” observed in the dust tails of great comets shows that the parent clouds of these striae may have been of the kind considered. 相似文献
