The spherically-symmetrical trajectories of spin particles in the Schwarzschild field

The motion of spin particles in the Schwarzschild field is examined in this paper. It is shown that Mathisson-Papapetrou equations under additional conditions , where is the Lie derivative of the Killing vector _j , permit only radial motion, motion in the equatorial plane and in the equilibrium points. All these types of motion are considered more in detail.

Vibrational transition probabilities,\bar r-centroids and morse PE-curves for SiS

Vibrational transition probabilities-namely, Franck-Condon factors and -centroids-have been evaluated using an approximate analytical method for theD-X system of SiS. Morse potential energy curves forD ¹ andX ¹⁺ states of SiS have been constructed using the latest spectroscopic data. The value of -centroids for the band have been found to decrease linearly with the corresponding wavelength.     

A Reconnection Model for the Distribution of Flare Energies

A physically based explanation is given for the distribution of flare energies N(E)E ^– where 1.5. In contrast to previous approaches, the present treatment is based on a physical theory of the flare reconnection site. The central assumption is that topological flare energy, although released explosively, is slowly accumulated over several hundred Alfvén timescales. When coupled to the geometric properties of the reconnective flare source, this assumption is shown to lead naturally to a deduction of the flare energy distribution. Current sheet models yield the exponent whereas more compact current structures imply steeper spectra .     

Secondary production of antiprotons in cosmic radiation

A reliable representation to the invariant cross-section for the production of antiprotons ( ) in inclusive reactions has been obtained, which fits the data extremely well from threshold to ISR energies. Using this, the production spectrum of by cosmic ray interaction with interstellar gas is calculated and is compared with other existing calculations. The equilibrium spectrum in the Galaxy has been derived from about 100 MeV to a few hundred GeV in kinetic energy using Leaky Box Model for the propagation of cosmic rays, by taking into account all energy loss processes. It is found that /P ratio calculated here is very much smaller than the observed ratio. In view of the fact that this excess of observed /P ratio is much larger than the measured upper limits on the fraction of antimatter in the form of antinuclei, the excess /P ratio has not been attributed to the existence of antimatter. Instead, it is shown that Closed Galaxy Model for the propagation of cosmic rays predicts more antiprotons than observed. Therefore, it is suggested that if cosmic rays contain about 50% new component of local origin, the resulting Closed Galaxy Model explains well the observations. The present calculations also predict too small a flux of below a few hundred MeV to make this energy region ideally suited to look for antiprotons of primordial origin.     

Periodic orbits and their bifurcations in a 3-D system

We study some simple periodic orbits and their bifurcations in the Hamiltonian . We give the forms of the orbits, the characteristics of the main families, and some existence diagrams and stability diagrams. The existence diagram of the family 1a contains regions that are stable (S), simply unstable (U), doubly unstable (DU) and complex unstable (). In the regionsS andU there are lines of equal rotation numberm/n. Along these lines we have bifurcations of families of periodic orbits of multiplicityn. When these lines reach the boundary of the complex unstable region, they are tangent to it. Inside the region there are linesm/n, along which the orbits 1a, describedn-times, are doubly unstable; however, along these lines there are no bifurcations ofn-ple periodic orbits. The families bifurcating from 1a exist only in certain regions of the parameter space (, ). The limiting lines of these regions join at particular points representing collisions of bifurcations. These collisions of bifurcations produce a nonuniqueness of the various families of periodic orbits. The complicated structure of the various bifurcations can be understood by constructing appropriate stability diagrams.     

The light curved in the CM field

In this paper we introduce the CM field in Sections 2 and 3 based on the paper by Wang and Peng (1985), and calculate the light curved in the CM field in Section 4. The result shows thatP makes _CM larger than _C at , and smaller at . Under a special circumstance which source, CM lens, and observer are in the same line, if we get | ₀₌₀ , and | _=/2 , we can determine theP(M) andQ(M) of the CM lens,M is the mass of the CM lens.     

YO molecule in the sun

Vibrational transition probabilities, namely Franck—Condon factors and -centroids have been evaluated by an approximate analytical method for the (A–X), (A–X), and (A–X) system of YO molecule. Morse potential energy curves forX ²⁺,A ²₂,A²₂, andA²₂, states of YO have been constructed using the latest spectroscopic data. The value of -centroids for the band have been found to decrease linearly with the corresponding wavelengths. We show results for two new transitions of (A–X) and (A–X) and five new bands of (A–X) of YO in the umbral spectrum of the Sun.     

Newtonian cosmology with a varying gravitational constant

Newtonian cosmology is developed with the assumption that the gravitational constantG diminishes with time. The functional form adopted forG(t), a modification of a suggestion of Dirac, isG=A(k+t) ^–1, wheret is the age of the Universe and a small constantk is inserted to avoid a singularity in the two-body problem. IfR is the scale factor, normalized to unity at an epoch time , the differential equation is then . Here ₀ is the mean density at the epoch time. With the above form forG(t), the solution is reducible to quadratures.The scale factorR either increases indefinitely or has one and only one maximum. LetH ₀ be the present value of Hubble's constant /R and _0c the minimum density for a maximum ofR, i.e., for closure of the Universe. The conditions for a maximum lead to a boundary curve of _0c versusH ₀ and the numbers indicate strongly that thisG-variable Newtonian model corresponds to an open universe. An upward estimate of the age of the Universe from 10¹⁰ yr to five times such a value would still lead to the same conclusion.The present Newtonian cosmology appears to refute the statement, sometimes made, that the Dirac model forG necessarily leads to the conclusion that the age of the Universe is one-third the Hubble time. Appendix B treats this point, explaining that this incorrect conclusion arises from using all the assumptions in Dirac (1938). The present paper uses only Dirac's final result, viz,G(k+t)^–1, superposing it on the differential equation .     

Filigree,magnetic fields,and flows in the photosphere

The interaction between small-scale magnetic fields and horizontal photospheric flows has been studied from observations of high angular resolution obtained with the Lockheed narrowband filter in the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope at La Palma. The measured magnetic flux density (B ) is in the range from a detection limit of 10 G to about 500 G, showing a good correspondence with the filigree. The magnetic flux elements take part in the local flows towards downdrafts at the supergranulation cell boundaries. The measured flux density, as well as the associated filigree intensity, decrease as the structures approach the downdrafts, presumably as a result of increased tilting and possibly submergence of flux into the downdrafts.     

The comparison of the magnetographic magnetic field measured in different spectral lines

The discrepancies in the values of longitudinal magnetic field obtained from magnetographic records in different spectral lines are considered. On the basis of extensive data including 60 pairs of magnetographic maps for 11 spectral lines, obtained simultaneously for one of these lines and 6103 with the aid of the Crimean double channel magnetograph, the following conclusions have been reached. The relative field strength (6103) depends partly on the distance from the center of the disk (Figure 4) and mainly on the magnetic sensitivity of the line g² (Figure 3), pointing to the primary role of saturation effect. The possible influence of line asymmetry on these discrepancies is also suggested.     

Invariant properties of families of moon-to-earth trajectories

Analytical techniques are employed to demonstrate certain invariant properties of families of moon-to-earth trajectories. The analytical expressions which demonstrate these properties have been derived from an earlier analytical solution of the restricted three-body problem which was developed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. These expressions are given explicitly to orderµ ^1/2 where is the dimensionless mass of the moon. It is also shown that the inclusion of higher order corrections does not affect the nature of the invariant properties but only increases the accuracy of the analytic expressions.The results are compared with the work of Hoelker, Braud, and Herring who first discovered invariant properties of earth-to-moon trajectories by exact numerical integration of the equations of motion. (Similar properties for moon-to-earth trajectories follow from the principle of reflection). In each instance the analytical expressions result in properties which are equivalent, to orderµ ^1/2, with those found by numerical integration. Some quantitative comparisons are presented which show the analytical expressions to be quite accurate for calculating particular geometrical characteristics.

On the uniqueness of the determination of the coronal potential magnetic field from line-of-sight boundary conditions

We consider a simple model in which the coronal magnetic field B is assumed to be potential in the region between the solar surface _o and an exterior source-surface ₁ of arbitrary shape. We prove that the boundary value problem that determines B from the value B _lof its component on ₀ along either (orthoradial direction) or (fixed direction) has at most one solution. On the other hand, we show that a solution can exist only if B _lsatisfies some solubility conditions.     

The dependence of the frequency spectra of the interplanetary magnetic-field fluctuations on the direction of the mean field

The frequency spectra of the interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations are the projection of their wavenumber spectra onto one dimension. Only the frequency spectra can be measured by spacecrafts. It is studied how their measured size depends on the direction of the mean fieldB ₀, which structures the symmetry of the fluctuations relative to the solar wind system. It is specialized for the slab model, Alfvén waves, magneto-acoustic waves and the isotropic case. For the slab model the frequency spectra are proportional to , whereq is the spectral index and the angle betweenB ₀ and the radial direction. For the diffusion coefficientK _TT the relation holds.     

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.     

A direct hydrodynamical approach to the evolution of the density correlations in an expanding flat Friedmann Universe

A direct approach of the dynamical equation for the evolution of the two-point density correlation function is given in an expanding flat Friedmann Universe in the Newtonian approximation. If the third and higher moments are neglected, a wave-like equation of third-order for the two-point density correlation function is found. The exact solution of this equation shows, in the large time limit, the usual Jeans instability t ^4/3. It is suggested that the highern-point correlation function of the density grow liket ^2n/3 in the same approximation. This indicates that every truncation procedure of the hierarchy of the equations is inapplicable at least for large timest.

Fourier techniques for an analysis of eclipsing binary light curves: III

The aim of the present paper will be to present a new approach to the light changes of eclipsing binary systems. The light changes have been expanded into the Fourier-Bessel and Dini series. The coefficients of these expansions which are the Hankel transforms of the order of the loss of light (1–l) have been expressed in terms of the eclipse elements. These discrete Hankel transformsH (j _m ) andH ( _m ) valid for only the positive real zerosj _m and _m of the functionsJ and [xJ(x)+J (x)] have been generalized for any positive value of andy. Thus, these general expressions for the Hankel transforms of the light curves which are valid for all types of eclipses, for any arbitrary degree of the adopted limb-darkening law and, moreover, for any positive value of the free parameters andy, may be used for the solution of the elements of eclipsing binary systems.     

Cosmological molecular hydrogen and the distortion of the relict radiation spectrum

The distortions of the relict radiation spectrum in the region of the wavelength <120 are considered. These distortions are due to the emission of photons under the formation of molecular hydrogen in the expanding universe in the cosmological epoch 40z200. It is shown that the real intensity of the relict radiation in the region of the wavelength under consideration must significantly exceed Planck's intensity, with a radiation temperature amounting to 2.8 K.
