地磁场对1999年9月空间天气大事件的响应

1999年9月22－25日发生一个大磁暴（Dst=-164nT).磁暴主相开始的头1小时伴随有丰富的Pc型地磁脉动，包括Pc2,Pc3,Pc4等。在行星际磁场Bz由北向转向南向后，磁暴主相开始，南向分量达到最大值后大约2小时，地磁H分量达到最小值，恢复相开始，并且，这次磁暴与太阳风各参数以及星际电场也存在一定的对应关系。

Stellar Dynamo Waves: Asymptotic Configurations

We investigate the parameter space of a Parker dynamo with a simple alpha quenching nonlinearity, taking as governing parameters the dynamo number D (D<0) and the ratio of diffusion times in the radial and latitudinal directions in the convective zone. The latter parameter, μ, is connected with the aspect ratio (dimensionless thickness) of the convective zone. We isolate two asymptotic configuration of the dynamo waves excited by the Parker dynamo in the limiting case of strong generation. Apart from the standard case with the solar type dynamo wave travelling from mid-latitudes to the equator, we describe a form of dynamo activity which is basically an anharmonic standing wave. The first situation occurs when μ increases with |D|. With μ fixed and |D| increasing, the second asymptotic configuration occurs. We discuss possibilities of identifying these asymptotic configurations with various types of stellar activity as traced by stellar CaII data.     

Hydrodynamics of Supernova Evolution in the Winds of Massive Stars

Core-Collapse supernovae arise from stars greater than 8 M_⊙. These stars lose a considerable amount of mass during their lifetime, which accumulates around the star forming wind-blown bubbles. Upon the death of the star in a spectacular explosion, the resulting SN shock wave will interact with this modified medium. We study the evolution of the shock wave, and investigate the properties of this interaction. We concentrate on the evolution of the SN shock wave in the medium around a 35 solar mass star. We discuss the hydrodynamics of the resulting interaction, the formation and growth of instabilities, and deviations from sphericity.

与磁暴急始有关的瞬态地磁脉动

我们根据北京怀柔地磁脉动观测站在1982年6月至1983年5月的观测记录,分析了这时期发生的急始型磁暴中伴随SSC发生的瞬态地磁脉动。这种脉动的形态和地方时有关,白天有明显的衰减振荡,晚上则近似为非振荡的湾状扰动。我们分析了这种瞬态地磁脉动的振幅、持续时间、功率谱和急始形态的关系,并结合目前国外卫星的探测结果对这种脉动的形成和传播路径作了讨论。     

Variation of Icelandic and Hawaiian magmatism: evidence for co-pulsation of mantle plumes?

Based on published estimates of areal extent, thickness and dating of igneous rocks related to formation of the North Atlantic Volcanic Province, we calculate the magmatic production since the first reported magmatism at 70 Ma until present. We relate the magmatism to the Icelandic Plume and estimate the total volumetric production to 22.1 × 10⁶ km³. The magmatic production varied significantly with time, with a clear maximum of 55.5 m³/s around continental break-up at ca. 54 Ma. The lowest production is estimated at 4 m³/s, increasing to 7 m³/s at ca. 23 Ma. Two other pulses with increased activity are found around 40 Ma and in the late Miocene (10–5 Ma). The variations in productivity are consistent with a plume pulsing with a periodicity of ca. 15 million years. The same periodicity and relative timing is found for the Hawaiian Plume. If confirmed, these observations suggest that both plumes originate within the thin boundary layer near the Core-Mantle Boundary. This hypothesis may imply periodic heating of the earth’s core with subsequent heat-release to the mantle and increased global plume activity.     

The most resonant pulsation frequency of δ Scuti stars

Pulsation of the Sun with a period of P₀ ≈ 160 min discovered about two decades ago, is still waiting explanation. In view of the hypothesis about its cosmological origin, and attempting to find signature of this P₀ periodicity among other (short-period variable) stars, the pulsation frequencies of δ Sct stars are subjected to specific analysis. With a confidence level ≈ 3.8σ it is found that the frequency v₀ = P₀⁻¹ ≈ 104 m̈Hz, within the error limits, appears indeed to be the most “resonant” one for the total sample of 318 pulsating stars of δ Sct type (the most commensurable, or “synchronizing”, period for all these stars occurs to be 162 ± 4 min). We conjecture that a) the P₀ oscillation might be connected with periodic fluctuations of gravity field (metrics), and b) the primary excitation mechanism of pulsations of δ Sct stars, reffected by this “ubiquitous” P₀ resonance, must be attributed perhaps to superfast rotation of their inner cores (their rates tend to be in near-resonance with the “universal” v₀ frequency). The arguments are given favouring a cosmoogical nature of the P₀ oscillation.     

The interaction of the stellar wind with an extrasolar planet—3D hybrid and drift-kinetic simulations

To be able to simulate the interaction of extrasolar planets with the stellar wind, a number of planetary parameters are required. Some of these (like planetary mass and radius) can be obtained directly from observational data. Other properties are not known very precisely. For example, up to now, there is no observation providing information on the strength of planetary magnetic moments. However, there is good reason to expect only very small magnetic moments for planets in very close orbits around their stars (like HD 209458 b and OGLE-TR-56 b). Thus, as a first step towards a more complete treatment, it seems reasonable to treat the interaction of the stellar wind with an unmagnetized planet. Calculations were performed for a nonconducting as well as for a weakly conducting planet. The interaction with the stellar wind and the resulting induced magnetosphere was simulated using a three dimensional hybrid code as well as in the drift-kinetic approximation. The effect of a interplanetary magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the incoming stellar wind was included. In the case of a weakly conducting body an asymmetrical Mach cone is formed, whereas for a nonconducting body no Mach cone is observed. These investigations will serve as the first step in the search for particular effects occurring at extrasolar planets, which could possibly lead to observable effects, e.g. radio emission. The results are also relevant for plasma structures near weakly conducting, unmagnetized bodies like the Earth's moon.
