A uvbyβ photometric analysis of the Monoceros star‐forming field

This investigation presents a new analysis of the spatial distribution of the bright early‐type stars in the field of Northern Monoceros. A database of all O–B9 stars with available uvbyβ photometry is collated and a homogeneous distance scale is established for the clusters and layers of field stars. We provide revised distances for NGC 2264 and NGC 2244 of 833±38 (s.e.) pc and 1585±60 (s.e.) pc, respectively. We present arguments that there might be substructures in the clusters projected along the line of sight. According to the present sample the classical Mon OB2 association at 1.6 kpc is represented by a relatively compact group at 1.26 kpc in the vicinity of NGC 2244 and a layer of massive stars located between 1.5 and 3 kpc (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Oxidation of CO on surface hematite in high CO2 atmospheres

We propose a mechanism for the oxidation of gaseous CO into CO₂ occurring on the surface mineral hematite (Fe₂O₃(s)) in hot, CO₂-rich planetary atmospheres, such as Venus. This mechanism is likely to constitute an important source of tropospheric CO₂ on Venus and could at least partly address the CO₂ stability problem in Venus’ stratosphere, since our results suggest that atmospheric CO₂ is produced from CO oxidation via surface hematite at a rate of 0.4 petagrammes (Pg) CO₂ per (Earth) year on Venus which is about 45% of the mass loss of CO₂ via photolysis in the Venusian stratosphere. We also investigated CO oxidation via the hematite mechanism for a range of planetary scenarios and found that modern Earth and Mars are probably too cold for the mechanism to be important because the rate-limiting step, involving CO(g) reacting onto the hematite surface, proceeds much slower at lower temperatures. The mechanism may feature on extrasolar planets such as Gliese 581c or CoRoT-7b assuming they can maintain solid surface hematite which, e.g. starts to melt above about 1200 K. The mechanism may also be important for hot Hadean-type environments and for the emerging class of hot Super-Earths with planetary surface temperatures between about 600 and 900 K.

Simulation Chamber Studies of the Atmospheric Oxidation of 2-Methyl-3-Buten-2-ol: Reaction with Hydroxyl Radicals and Ozone Under a Variety of Conditions

This article presents a complete study of the diurnal chemical reactivity of the biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC), 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) in the troposphere. Reactions of MBO with OH and with ozone were studied to analyse the respective parts of both processes in the global budget of MBO atmospheric reactivity. They were investigated under controlled conditions for pressure (atmospheric pressure) and temperature (298 ± 2 K) using three complementary European simulation chambers. Reaction with OH radicals was studied in the presence of and in the absence of NO _x . The kinetic study was carried out by relative rate study using isoprene as a reference. The rate constant found for this reaction was molecule⁻¹ cm³ s⁻¹. FTIR spectroscopy, DNPH- and PFBHA-derivatisation analyses were performed for reactions with both OH radicals and ozone. In both reactions, the hydroxycarbonyl compound, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal (HMPr) was positively identified and quantified, with a yield of in the reaction with OH, and a yield of and 0.84 ± 0.08 in the reaction with ozone under dry (HR < 1%) and humid conditions (HR = 20%–30%). A primary production of two other carbonyl compounds, acetone , and formaldehyde was found in the case of the dry ozonolysis experiments. Under humid conditions, only formaldehyde was co-produced with HMPr as a primary carbonyl compound, with a yield of . For the reaction with OH, three other carbonyl compounds were detected, acetone , formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde . In addition some realistic photo-oxidation experiments were performed to understand in an overall way the transformations of MBO in the atmosphere. The realistic photo-oxidation experiments were conducted in the EUPHORE outdoor simulation chamber. It was found that this compound is a weak secondary aerosol producer (less than 1% of the carbon balance). But it was confirmed that it is a potentially significant source of acetone, Δ[Acetone]/Δ[MBO] = 0.45. With our experimental conditions ([MBO]₀ = 200 ppb, [NO]o = 50 ppb), an ozone yield of Δ[O₃]/Δ[MBO] = 1.05 was found.

中国铁路运输33年来的温室气体排放

铁路是我国重要的交通运输方式,但我国至今尚无铁路运输行业温室气体排放量的报道.文章基于我国铁路部门逐年统计数据,计算了 1975～2007年我国铁路机车的温室气体排放量,分析了我国铁路机车温室气体排放强度及其变化特点.结果表明,我国铁路机车温室气体(CO2和N2O)总排放量逐年降低,由1975年的4278×104t CO2当量降至2007年的3844×104t CO2当量,总降幅达10%,年均减排14×104t CO2当量.其中,CO2年排放量整体呈下降趋势,由1975年的4246×104t降至2007年的3645×104t,总降幅达14%,年均减排18.8×104t; N2O年排放量快速增长,由1975年的1088t增至2007年的6681t,年均增加175t,达16%.由于我国铁路蒸汽机车承担的牵引工作量越来越少,其温室气体年排放量逐年降低,1975～2001年年均减少155×104t CO2当量,降幅达3.7%.2002年以后,蒸汽机车基本上从运输领域中被全部淘汰,无温室气体排放.1975～2007年内燃机车和电力机车的排放比重越来越大,其温室气体年排放量逐年上升,内燃机车年均增加54×104t CO2当量,电力机车间接排放量年均增长62×104t CO2当量.温室气体排放强度呈现明显降低趋势,其值由1975年的8.23kg降至2007年的1.34kg CO2当量/百换算吨公里,降幅达84%,年均降低0.22kg CO2当量/百换算吨公里.其中,内燃机车、电力机车和蒸汽机车的温室气体平均排放强度分别为1.51kg,1.68kg和8.74kg CO2当量/百换算吨公里.大规模淘汰排放强度大的蒸汽机车,同时大量运用排放强度低的内燃机车和电力机车,使得我国铁路机车的温室气体排放量和排放强度不断降低,这为减少我国铁路运输行业的温室气体排放作出了重要贡献.另外,我国铁路机车温室气体排放量占全国化石燃料燃烧的温室气体排放总量的比重很小,因此可以说铁路运输是我国交通运输领域中理想的节能减排运输方式.
