THE BASTILLE DAY (14 JULY 2000) EVENT IN HISTORICAL LARGE SUN–EARTH CONNECTION EVENTS

One of the large Sun–Earth connection events in solar cycle 23 occurred between 14 and 16 July 2000. Anomalies occurring on several satellites were reported in association with this event. Statistical study of extreme events is important not only for a view of space weather but for seeking ways to predict such kinds of large events. The Bastille Day event was characterized by a large flux (24 000 p.f.u. at its maximum) of solar energetic protons and a fast average transit speed of approximately 1500 km s⁻¹ of the interplanetary disturbance. A geomagnetic Kp index of more than 9 was observed after an interval of approximately eleven years since 1989. We found that return periods of extreme space weather (e.g., large flares, solar energetic proton events, and large geomagnetic storms) satisfied the Weibull distribution.     

THE BRIGHT SURGE-LIKE SPIKE AT THE SOLAR LIMB SEPTEMBER 24, 1991

The 1N/M6.1 limb-flare-associated surge-spike phenomenon of 24 September, 1991 is investigated using H filtergrams taken at Kandilli Observatory. The kinematics and the morphological features of the moving plasma are discussed. Radio and soft X-ray bursts, ionospheric, and magnetic disturbances are detected in the oscillatory motions during the surge phenomenon.

VERY LARGE ARRAY OBSERVATIONS OF EVOLVING NOISE STORM SOURCES ON THE SUN

The presence of coronal magnetic fields connecting active regions is inferred from decimetric observations of solar noise storms with the Very Large Array (VLA) and from soft X-ray images taken by Yohkoh. Temporal changes in the noise storms appear to be correlated with some soft X-ray bursts detected by both Yohkoh and the GOES satellite. Combined analysis of the radio and X-ray data suggests a re-arrangement of the coronal magnetic field during the onset of impulsive noise storm burst emission. On one day during the combined VLA–Yohkoh–GOES observations, two widely-separated active regions appear to be connected by a faint trans-equatorial 91 cm source as well as two distinct soft X-ray loops. The two active regions show anti-correlated fluctuations in decimetric radio emission. On another day of combined VLA–Yohkoh observations, a series of 91 cm noise storm bursts are observed along the major axis of the associated noise storm continuum. Time sequences of Yohkoh soft X-ray images show a contraction of coronal loops prior to the onset of this series of bursts and a corresponding increase in the X-ray flux in the apparent footpoint of the overarching loop containing the noise storm. These observations imply that energy from a realignment of the magnetic field is being transferred, possibly by accelerated particles, along loops connecting separated active regions on the Sun.     

OBSERVATIONS OF FAINT,OUTLYING LOOP SYSTEMS IN LARGE FLARES

Faintly visible, darkened regions in H lying outside but adjacentto bright flare emissionwere found to occur in 10 of 31 major flares investigated. Without exception, the darkenings occur over magnetically neutral areas, and these are usually bordered by ridges ofoppositely-poled field, where one border is shared in common with a flare ribbon. Thedarkenings probably result from the formation of faint, outlying loop systems, similar topost-flare loops seen in absorption, but which are connected to magnetic features outsidethe flare and are unresolved or only marginally resolved in patrol images. Simple modelsfor post-flare loops incorporating the results of statistical equilibrium calculations readilydemonstrate that darkenings of several percent (consistent with our photometric measurements) can be produced by loop structures of cross-sectional diameter 10² km (unresolved by patrol instruments) and containing gas at densities 5 × 10¹⁰–5 × 10¹¹ cm^-3 andtemperatures 8000–15000 K. Outlying loop systems might be formed by magnetic fieldreconnection, analogous to the mechanism ascribed to eruptive two-ribbon flares, butassociated with field structures adjacent to the flare. Alternatively, these outlying loopsystems may not erupt but become visible as a result of heating and chromospheric evaporation at the footpoints shared with the flare ribbon. In either case, the observations presented here have interesting implications for both the spatial scale and the topology of thecoronal magnetic fields in which eruptions occur.

THE SEARCH FOR A LARGE METEORITE NEAR PRINCE GEORGE,BRITISH COLUMBIA

A meteoritic event was observed from the vicinity of Prince George, British Columbia, at 5^h 58^m U.T., August 21, 1969, and an associated ground impact wave was recorded by several seismograph stations. An analysis of the visual and seismic data indicates that a mass of several tons must have reached the ground about 20 km southeast of Prince George. A helicopter search of the area and a study of aerial photographs have failed to locate the impact site     

大天线太阳射电观测和流量归算的一种方法

本文介绍了高空间分辨率的太阳射电观测流量的归算方法，即对观测的太阳天线温度值作天线功率方向图Ｋ因子的修正，即可得到太阳射电流量值．文中推导了不同温度分布模型下的Ｋ因子表达式，并计算了日面宁静太阳流量值和部分射电源的ＳＶＣ辐射流量值．对日面宁静区的射电辐射而言，因Ｋ的年变化（０．０２３６—０．０２５２）不大，因此按其平均值０．０２４４可计算出２２ＧＨｚ频率上宁静太阳流量ｓ。＝０．１５Ｔａ。（以ｓｆｕ为单位，Ｔａ。是宁静区辐射的太阳天线温度），相应的宁静太阳温度为１０１００土３００Ｋ．１９９０年７月２日源区的ＳＶＣ辐射计算结果表明：日面源区的ＳＶＣ辐射总和为２０ｓｆｕ，约占日面总辐射的２．４％．

TITAN’S GROUND REFLECTANCE RETRIEVAL FROM CASSINI-VIMS DATA TAKEN DURING THE JULY 2ND, 2004 FLY-BY AT 2 AM UT

An attempt to evaluate the preliminary values of the Titan's surface albedo at 2 μm from the first Cassini-VIMS observations of the moon is presented. The methodology is based on the application of radiative transfer calculations and a microphysical model of the Titan atmosphere based on fractal aerosol. As a first guess, the surface has been considered flat and lambertian. The results are presented as a function of the geographical coordinates associated to the image pixels. The libRadtran package, using the radiative transfer equation solver DISORT 2.0, has been applied for the calculations. A test run to evaluate the model performances, using ground based observations of Titan as reference in the range of wavelengths 0.3-1.0 μm, has been carried out.The retrieved values of the surface albedo range between 0.03 and 0.22.     

THE CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY OF THE HOMEWOOD,MANITOBA, METEORITE

The Homewood meteorite is a slightly weathered find of 325 grams discovered in 1970 about 64 km southwest of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It consists of olivine (Fa_25.4; 43.8 normative wt. percent), orthopyroxene (Fs_23.3; 28.5 percent), kamacite and taenite (7.5 percent), troilite (5.6 percent), maskelynite (8.3 percent), chromite (1.0 percent), whitlockite (0.7 percent) and minor patchy Ca pyroxene. Bulk chemical analysis yielded Fe_total 21.60 wt. percent, Fe/SiO₂0.55, SiO₂/MgO 1.53 and Fe^O/Fe_total 0.29. Barred olivine, radiating pyroxene and porphyritic chondrules, all with ill-defined outlines, occur in the meteorite. Most chemical and mineralogical features characterize the Homewood meteorite as an L6 (hypersthene) chondrite. The presence of maskelynite, the undulatory extinction, extensive fracturing and pervasive mosaicism of olivine, and the poor definition of chondrule outlines suggest that the Homewood meteorite has been shocked in the range of 300–350 kbar.
