The excitation and kinematical properties of H2 and [Fe ii] in the HH 46/47 bipolar outflow

Long-slit spectra of the molecular outflow Herbig–Haro (HH) 46/47 have been taken in the J and K near-infrared bands. The observed H₂ line emission confirms the existence of a bright and extended redshifted counter-jet outflow south-west of HH 46. In contrast with the optical appearance of this object, we show that this outflow seems to be composed of two different emission regions characterized by distinct heliocentric velocities. This implies an acceleration of the counter-jet.
The observed [Fe  ii ] emission suggests an average extinction of 7–9 visual magnitudes for the region associated with the counter-jet.
Through position–velocity diagrams, we show the existence of different morphologies for the H₂ and [Fe  ii ] emission regions in the northern part of the HH 46/47 outflow. We have detected for the first time high-velocity (−250 km s⁻¹) [Fe  ii ] emission in the region bridging HH 46 to HH 47A. The two strong peaks detected can be identified with the optical positions B8 and HH 47B.
The H₂ excitation diagrams for the counter-jet shock suggest an excitation temperature for the gas of T _ex≈2600 K . The lack of emission from the higher energy H₂ lines, such as the 4–3 S(3) transition, suggests a thermal excitation scenario for the origin of the observed emission. Comparison of the H₂ line ratios with various shock models yielded useful constraints about the geometry and type of these shocks. Planar shocks can be ruled out whereas curved or bow shocks (both J- and C-type) can be parametrized to fit our data.

基于短波红外技术的蚀变矿物特征及勘查模型——以斯弄多银铅锌矿床为例

印度-亚洲大陆的碰撞成就了青藏高原的冈底斯成矿带,位于该成矿带的斯弄多银铅锌矿床赋存于林子宗群火山岩中,经过勘查确认该矿床属于低硫化浅成低温热液型矿床。通过对5个钻孔进行短波红外测量,发现钻孔中的蚀变矿物主要有绢(白)云母、钠云母(富Na云母)、伊利石和蒙脱石,并在垂向形成绢(白)云母→绢(白)云母+钠云母+蒙脱石+伊利石→绢(白)云母+伊利石→绢(白)云母的组合特征。通过总结归纳蚀变矿物分布、分带特征并与地质编录相结合,构建了基于短波红外技术的斯弄多找矿勘查模型。笔者在数据分析与模型构建中发现:(1)伊利石-蒙脱石混合矿物组成是寻找深部及外围矿体的重要线索;(2)绢(白)云母属于成矿前期的蚀变,与矿体之间的关系不明显;(3)矿床深部表现为两种不同的化学反应:SW方向深部反映了绢云母被交代形成伊利石的过程;NE方向深部表现为绢(白)云母二八面体结构的变化;(4)未被剥蚀的青磐岩化带是寻找浅成低温热液型金矿的主要依据。     

红外光谱和拉曼光谱在热处理海蓝宝石鉴定中的应用

在适当的热处理条件下,黄绿色绿柱石能够转变为理想颜色的海蓝宝石。天然海蓝宝石与热处理海蓝宝石的价格差异较大,因此探索热处理海蓝宝石的诊断性鉴定特征就显得十分必要。对不同温度下热处理海蓝宝石进行傅里叶变换红外光谱和激光拉曼光谱的测试分析,结果发现,当热处理温度超过400℃后,随着加热温度的升高,在红外光谱中由[Fe2（OH）4]2＋伸缩振动gI起的3233cm叫处吸收谱峰明显减弱,直至消失。5268cm叫附近由水伸缩和弯曲振动}I起合频区的吸收带由尖峰变得宽缓;8700,6818cm叫两处水吸收峰的相对强度也随着加热温度升高而减弱。热处理海蓝宝石Si-0-Si伸缩振动产生的在682,3604cm叫处的拉曼光谱谱峰强度随着加热温度升高逐渐减弱,1070cm“处的拉曼峰强度明显降低。经700℃加热后,拉曼光谱基线明显向上方漂移。这些光谱特征变化对热处理海蓝宝石的鉴定有重要意义。     

Long-term infrared variability of the UX Ori-type star SV Cep

We investigate the long-term optical–infrared variability of SV Cep and explain it in the context of an existing UX Ori (UXOR) model. A 25-month monitoring programme was completed with the Infrared Space Observatory in the 3.3–100 μm wavelength range. Following a careful data reduction, the infrared light curves were correlated with the variations of SV Cep in the V band. A remarkable correlation was found between the optical and the far-infrared light curves. In the mid-infrared regime, the amplitude of variations is lower, with a hint for a weak anti-correlation with the optical changes. In order to interpret the observations, we modelled the spectral energy distribution of SV Cep assuming a self-shadowed disc with a puffed-up inner rim, using a two-dimensional radiative transfer code. We found that modifying the height of the inner rim, the wavelength dependence of the long-term optical–infrared variations is well reproduced, except the mid-infrared domain. The origin of variation of the rim height might be fluctuation in the accretion rate in the outer disc. In order to model the mid-infrared behaviour, we tested adding an optically thin envelope to the system, but this model failed to explain the far-infrared variability. Infrared variability is a powerful tool to discriminate between models of the circumstellar environment. The proposed mechanism of variable rim height may not be restricted to UXOR stars, but might be a general characteristic of intermediate-mass young stars.     

2MASS near-infrared photometry of symbiotic stars

We present Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry for 216 symbiotic and possible symbiotic stars. This represents the most comprehensive near-infrared photometry for these sources which has been published to date. The results are used to define the statistics of S- and D-type stars; to investigate the photometric properties of Magellanic S-type symbiotics; and to define the possible evolution of D-type symbiotics within the J − H / H − K _S colour plane. It appears that the colours of D-type symbiotics are consistent with differing mass-loss rates d M /d t , provided that the grains have a silicate-like composition, and maximum temperatures of the order of ∼800 K.     

Spatially resolved mid-infrared spectroscopy of IC 5063

We present spatially resolved 10-μm spectra of the nucleus of IC 5063 that are near-diffraction-limited. The observations were obtained with T-ReCS, the mid-infrared (mid-IR) imager and spectrometer on the 8.1-m Gemini South telescope, with the slit aligned at a position angle on the sky along the direction of the cone of narrow-line emission. The spectra cover the nucleus and the inner reaches of the ionization cones at a spatial resolution of approximately 0.4 arcsec (90 pc). Individual spectra, extracted in steps in the spatial direction along the slit, reveal variations in continuum slope and silicate feature profile and depth on subarcsecond scales, illustrating in unprecedented detail the complexity of the circumnuclear regions of this galaxy at mid-IR wavelengths. The dust population in the vicinity of the narrow-line region, north-west of the nuclear position, is significantly warmer than that to the south-east of the nucleus. This is consistent with an observation of the cooler dust associated with the outer reaches of the postulated torus that obscures the type 1 nucleus in this object.
