Le spectre ultraviolet des etoiles

Sommaire Les travaux expérimentaux stellaires dans le proche UV sont rappelés brièvement: ils ont conduit à la détection de nébulosités entourant les étoiles chaudes (vers 1300 Å) et à l'observation, pour ces mêmes étoiles chaudes, d'un affaiblissement important de la brillance pour < 2400 Å. Les différentes interprétations et discussions sont passées en revue. Une discussion plus complète est donnée dans le cas de l'hypothèe d'un nuage de particules circumstellaires, qui semble susceptible de fournir une interprétation aux deux types d'observation mentionnées.

Summary The stellar observational data obtained in the near UV are briefly described. They led to the detection of nebulosities around early type stars (circa 1300 Å) and to the observation, in the spectrum of these stars, of a strong reduction of the brightness at wave lengths shorter than 2400 Å. The several interpretations and discussions are reviewed. A somewhat more complete discussion is presented for the case of the circumstellar dust cloud hypothesis, which seems able to make understandable both types of observational data.

     

L'avion,plateforme d'observations scientifiques

Transition between high altitude manned observatories and unmanned balloon-borne or rocket-borne experiments is achieved with high flying aircrafts, at altitudes above tropopause (>12 km), which became readily available, at reasonable cost and reliability, in the past five or ten years.This paper reviews the development of scientific uses of aircrafts, especially for astronomy and geophysics, with some emphasis placed on infrared problems, closely related to the scale height of the chief infrared absorber, i.e. telluric water vapor.Absorbers distribution vs altitude and spectral characteristics are summarized (Figures 1, 2, 3).Capabilities of various available aircrafts are compared (Table I) and the various ways to consider modifications are discussed: structural modifications or design problems to fit telescopes or light collectors on board. Tables II and III list the advantages of airborne observations, compared to other spatial carriers, and also the specific problems connected with aircrafts. Adopted solutions to these problems are exposed (Figures 4, 5, 6, 7) and costs are briefly discussed.Finally, a few examples of scientific results, gathered in the few past years from aircraft, are given, both in astronomy and in geophysics.     

An analysis of Martian photometry and polarimetry

The physical parameters that influence the photometric and polarimetric properties of a solid are enumerated and used to guide a comparison of laboratory measurements with observations of Mars. Both the bright and dark areas of Mars are found to be covered by a fine powder. Furthermore, they appear to have a very similar chemical composition. It is argued that goethite is a major constituent of both regions. The particles on the bright areas are characterized by an average particle radius of 25 , while those on the dark areas have a mean size of 100 outside of the period of seasonal darkening and about 200 near the peak of the darkening. The seasonal darkening of the dark areas is the result of a change in the average particle dimension without an accompanying chemical change.The Martian atmosphere has much less of an influence on the photometric and polarimetric observations than was previously supposed. The observed lack of contrast in the blue appears to be largely the result of an intrinsic loss of surface contrast, and not an effect of a hypothetical atmospheric blue haze.

Résumé Les paramètres physiques qui influencent les propriétés photométriques et polarimétriques d'un solide sont énumérés et utilisés pour conduire une comparaison entre des mesures de laboratoire et des observations de Mars. On trouve que les régions brillantes et les régions sombres de Mars sont couvertes d'une fine poudre. En outre, elles paraissent avoir des compositions chimiques très semblables. Il est soutenu que la goethite est un constituant majeur des deux régions. Les particules des régions brillantes sont caractérisées par un rayon moyen de 25 , tandis que celles des régions sombres ont une taille moyenne de 100 en dehors de la période d'assombrissement saisonnier, et d'environ 200 près du maximum d'assombrissement. L'assombrissement saisonnier des régions sombres est le résultat d'une variation de la dimension moyenne des particules, non accompagné d'un changement chimique.L'influence de l'atmosphère Martienne sur les observations photométriques et polarimétriques est bien inférieure à ce qui était supposé antérieurement. Le manque de contraste que l'on observe dans le bleu, parait être principalement une conséquencede la perte de contraste de surface, et non pas un effet d'un hypothétique halo atmosphérique bleu.

Das thermische plasma als intensitäts normalstrahler im wellenlängenbereich von 1100 bis 3100 å

In this paper a standard intensity source is described consisting of a thermal argon plasma with small additives of hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. These gases are introduced in such a concentration to produce a series of optically thick spectral lines in the region 1100 Å to 3100 Å. The intensity in an optically thick line center is given by the Kirchhoff-Planck-function B (T) which is determined if the plasma temperature is known. The continuous character of the function allows for interpolation between the spectral lines.At longer wave lengths above 1800 Å only two carbon I-lines are found to be optically thick. Here the optically thin argon continuum is calibrated against the carbon I-lines and is used as an additional standard emission.By this procedure an absolute intensity scale is constructed at every wave length between 1100 Å and 3100 Å.The precision of the absolute intensities depends essentially on the precision of the temperature measurement for the plasma. Four different spectroscopic methods are used for this determination giving a temperature of 12540 K with an error of ±1 % to ±2 %. This means an error of ±10 % to ±20 % for the absolute intensity scale. The internal consistency of the measurements is better than ±2 %A plasma with these properties is produced in a wall-stabilized cascade arc burning through a central hole in a stack of refrigerated discs. By an adequate flow pattern of argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide an argon window is formed through which the radiation of the added gases leaves the arc axially without self-absorption.The arc is burning at a pressure of 1 atm, and a windowless light path to a vacuum spectrograph is formed by a 3 chamber differential pumping stage allowing continous observation.As a result the absolute intensities of the optically thick lines observed at high resolution are given. Moreover, the total spectral energy flux of the light source is presented for a lower resolution.In the range 2500 Å to 3100 Å the absolute scale overlaps the useful range of the carbon arc which is used as an intensity standard in the visible and near ultraviolet. A comparison of the two sources yields a compatibility within the experimental errors of a few percent.     

Spectres auroraux

Summary The paper presents a review of the main spectroscopic studies of polar aurora accomplished during the past eight years.In a first part, the few new results concerning knowledge of the spectrum itself are examined. They concern detailed spectrum analysis, a few spectral features (sodium doublet, helium lines) and the extension of spectral observations to very low wavelengths (3000 to 1000 Å). The main features discovered in this region are the Vegard-Kaplan and Lyman-Birge-Hopfield systems as well as the 1304 oxygen line. A comparison of observed and theoretical intensities shows serious discrepancies, not all of which may be attributed to difficulties of observation. Next is given classification, from a spectral point of view, of the various kinds of auroral phenomena, with respect to altitude and latitude. Particular attention is given to high altitude and sunlit aurorae, and to low intensity, non discrete aurorae observed around the 70th degree (geomagnetic) and around the polar cap.A second part underlines the influence of two important parameters, time and location, mainly as a possible means of detection of different mechanisms.As far as the time parameter is concerned, a few pages are devoted to statistical analysis of the great wealth of observational data accumulated over twenty or thirty years.It is shown that important conclusions emerge from such studies. Very small scale time variations are mainly concerned with the study of metastable states, their lifetimes and de-excitation due to shocks between particles. Differences of spectra with the location of the observed emitting volume is a much more recent subject, which has, however, produced important results. These concern mainly observations made from rockets, although a few results have been obtained from the ground. All these indicate significant differences that may shed some light on the difficult problem of mechanisms. The latter has not been developed, since a recent review has been written on the subject. The same is true for the very important problem of hydrogen emissions.The last pages are concerned with the latest developments of experimental methods, with some stress on image tubes, which will probably be one of the main detecting devices for observing auroral spectra in the near future.     

Capturing transition and non-transition flows with a new shear stress transport model

A new Shear Stress Transport(SST) k-ω model is devised to integrate salient features of both the non-transitional SST k-ω model and correlation-based γ-Reθtransition model. An exceptionally simplified approach is applied to extend the New SST(NSST) model capabilities toward transition/non-transition predictions. Bradshaw’s stress-intensity factor ■ can be parameterized with the wall-distance dependent Reynolds number ■; however, as the Reyis replaced by a ‘‘flow-structure-adaptive” parameter Rμ=...

A new target tracking filter based on deep learning

At present, current filters can basically solve the filtering problem in target tracking, but there are still many problems such as too many filtering variants, too many filtering forms, loosely coupled with the target motion model, and so on. To solve the above problems, we carry out crossapplication research of artificial intelligence theory and methods in the field of tracking filters. We firstly analyze the computation graphs of typical a-β and Kalman. Through analysis, it is concluded that ...

Interaction of non-perpendicular/parallel solar wind shock waves with the earth's magnetosphere

The interaction of travelling interplanetary shock waves with the bow shock-magnetosphere system is considered. We consider the general case when the interplanetary magnetic field is oblique to the Sun-planetary axis, thus, the interplanetary shock is neither parallel nor perpendicular. We find that an ensemble of shocks are produced after the interaction for a representative range of shock Mach numbers. First, we find that the system S ₊ R _– CS _– S ₊ appears after the collision of travelling fast shock waves S ₊ (Mach number M = 2 to 7) with the bow shock. Here, S _– and R _– represent the slow shock wave and slow rarefaction wave, and C represents the contact surface. It is shown that in the presence of an interplanetary field that is inclined by 45° to the radial solar wind velocity vector, the waves R _– and S _– are weak waves and, to the first degree of approximation, the situation is similar to the previously studied normal perpendicular case. The configuration, R ₊ C _m S _– S ₊ or R ₊ C _m R _– S ₊ where C _m is the magnetopause, appears as the result of the fast shock wave's collision with the magnetopause. In this case the waves S _– and R _– are weak. The fast rarefaction wave reflected from the magnetosphere is developed similar to the case for the collision of a perpendicular shock. The shock wave intensity is varied for Mach numbers from 2 to 10. Thus, in the limits of the first approximation, the validity of the one-dimensional consideration of the nonstationary interaction of travelling interplanetary shock waves with the bow shock-magnetosphere system is proved. The appearance of the fast rarefaction wave, R ₄, decreasing the pressure on the magnetosphere of the Earth after the abrupt shock-like contraction, is proved. A possible geomagnetic effect during the global perturbation of the SSC or SI⁺ type is discussed.An invited paper presented at STIP Workshop on Shock Waves in the Solar Corona and Interplanetary Space, 15–19 June, 1980, Smolenice, Czechoslovakia.
