The KAr isochron method is an attempt to obtain the initial age or reset age and the extraneous argon isotopic ratio of a suite of cogenetic samples of different K-contents. Some samples contain excess argon-40 and others lose argon-40. The resultant ages on single samples are not significant geologically. We have discussed the principles of three types of isochrons commonly used, the 40Ar vs 40K isochron, the 40Ar/36Ar vs 40K/30Ar isochron, and the 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochron, and evaluated the first two types for ten different hypothetical cases. If a straight line is obtained in the 40Ar vs 40K isochron, a positive intercept indicates an approximately constant amount of excess argon, whereas a negative intercept indicates argon loss. A curved line or scattering of points indicates that the basic assumptions are not valid for the set of samples under consideration. The 40Ar/36Ar vs 40K/36Ar isochron method is valid, rigorously, only when all samples of the system under consideration have the same non-radiogenic argon isotope composition. This requires that either no excess argon is present in the system, or else each analysis contains the same proportion of excess and atmospheric argon. If these conditions do not hold, approximately, invalid ages and invalid intercepts are obtained. Any KAr isochron needs to be used with caution. 相似文献

A self-consistent method has been evolved to infer physical parameters like density, radiation field and abundances using
line and continuum radiations as diagnostics. For that purpose, we first calculate the temperatures of graphite and silicate
grains using the model of Li and Draine (Astrophys. J. 554:778, 2001) by solving self-consistently the energy balance for G
0 (1–104) times the radiation field following Weingartner and Draine (Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 134:263, 2001). Consequently, infrared emission fluxes are also obtained. To keep it simple, this is presented in the empirical form of
parameters T
D
and wavelength. The same model of the grain is adopted for photoelectric heating of gas using the formalism of Weingartner
and Draine (Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 134:263, 2001) (hereafter referred to as WD) and Bakes and Tielens (Astrophys. J. 427:822, 1994) (hereafter referred to as BT) for radiation field cited above in the range (6<hν≤13.6 eV). Temperature and abundances are determined using our own code for PDR very similar to cloudy code. All the possible
sources of heating and cooling are considered for setting up the thermal balance. For the gas phase abundances that vary with
depth in the cloud due to dust, self- and mutual shielding, chemical balance is solved. Most of the photoionization, photodissociation
or chemical reaction rates are taken from UMIST database. We present an analysis of the cooling lines of singly ionized carbon
[CII] at 158 μm and neutral oxygen [OI], at 63 μm and far infrared (FIR) continuum for a variety of star forming galaxies.
Method of analysis of observational data is different from that of Malhotra et al. (Astrophys. J. 561:766, 2001). The radiation field G
0, density N
h
and abundance of carbon are obtained through best fit of observed and calculated intensities for lines and continuum radiations. 相似文献

Fifty-one lamprophyre dikes of the Navajo volcanic field are randomly oriented in contrast to dikes of similar age from adjacent tectonic provinces. KAr ages obtained on nine of these dikes indicate that they were emplaced between 28 and 19 m.y. ago. Initiation of dike emplacement was approximately coeval with the initial demarcation of the Colorado Plateau in the mid-Tertiary. Chemical analyses obtained on nine dike samples show a wide range in composition. Silica contents range from 33.6% in a phlogopite katungite to 55.9% in a felsic minette. Two of the samples have Na2O > K2O indicating that sodic volcanism was occurring concurrently with the dominant potassic volcanism.Published results of high-pressure experimental studies of katungite suggest that this magma was derived from K-metasomatised mantle. Because this potassium metasomatism produces a positive volume change, we propose a model that relates uplift of the Colorado Plateau to metasomatism, magma genesis, and dike emplacement. 相似文献
