Who is who in Algol-land ?- Part I -

We computed the evolution through case A mass transfer for 8 systems with mass of the primary equal to 3 and 5 M₀, mass ratios 0.7 and 0.9, and different periods. To this we added similar results from Packet (1988) for M_i = 9 M₀, q_i = 0.6, P_i = 1.62 d.During the mass transfer two competing mechanisms in the gainer decide on the evolution of the system: the rejuvenation of this star as the increasing convective core mixes fresh hydrogen into the inner regions, and the acceleration of nuclear burning, responding to the increasing mass.In all the cases the net result is a faster decrease of the central hydrogen content compared to the mass losing star. The secondary fills its own critical Roche lobe and reversed mass transfer starts.From our results and those of Nakamura and Nakamura (1984), we find that reversed mass transfer occurs after core hydrogen burning of the secondary (case A₁B₂) approximately for periods larger than 1 d (M_1i = 3 M₀) to 2 d (M_1i = 13.4 M₀). For smaller periods this happens before the gainer ends its core hydrogen burning (case A₁A₂).     

Sounding rocket experiment of bare electrodynamic tether system

An overview of a sounding rocket, S-520-25th, project on space tether technology experiment is presented. The project is prepared by an international research group consisting of Japanese, European, American, and Australian researchers. The sounding rocket will be assembled by the ISAS/JAXA and will be launched in the summer of 2009. The sounding rocket mission includes two engineering experiments and two scientific experiments. These experiments consist of the deployment of bare electrodynamic tape tether in space, a quick ignition test of hollow cathode system in space, the demonstration of bare electrodynamic tether system in space, and the test of the OML (orbital-motion-limit) current collection theory.     

Solar flares and particle acceleration

Energy release in solar flares occurs during the impulsive phase, which is a period of a few to about ten minutes, during which energy is injected into the flare region in bursts with durations of various time scales, from a few tens of seconds down to 0.1 s or even shorter. Non-thermal heating is observed during a short period, not longer than a few minutes, in the very first part of the impulsive phase; in average flares, with ambient particle densities not larger than a few times 10¹⁰ cm^–3 it is due to thick-target electron beam injection, causing chromospheric ablation followed by convection. In flares with larger densities the heating is due to thermal fronts (Section 1). The average energy released in chromospheric regions is a few times 10³⁰ erg, and an average number of 10³⁸ electrons with E 15 keV is accelerated. In subsecond pulses these values are about 10³⁵ electrons and about 10²⁷ erg per subsecond pulse. The total energy released in flares is larger than these values (Section 2). Energization occurs gradually, in a series of fast non-explosive flux-thread interactions, on the average at levels about 10⁴ km above the solar photosphere, a region permeated by a large number ( 10) of fluxthreads, each carrying electric currents of 10¹⁰–10¹¹ A. The energy is fed into the flare by differential motions of magnetic fields driven by photospheric-chromospheric movements (Section 3). In contrast to these are the high-energy flares, characterized by the emission of gamma-radiation and/or very high-frequency (millimeter) radiobursts. Observations of such flares, of the flare neutron emission, as well as the observation of ³He-rich interplanetary plasma clouds from flares all point to a common source, identified with shortlived ( 0.1 s) superhot ( 10⁸ K) flare knots, situated in chromospheric levels (Section 4). Pre-flare phenomena and the existence of homologous flares prove that flare energization can occur repeatedly in the same part of an active region: the consequent conclusions are that only seldom the full energy of an active region is exhausted in one flare, or that the flare energy is generated anew between homologous flares; this latter case looks more probable (Section 5). Flare energization requires the formation of direct electric fields, in value comparable with, or somewhat smaller than the Dreicer field (Section 6). Such fields originate by current-thread reconnection in a regime in which the current sheet is thin enough to let resistive instability originate (Section 7). Particle acceleration occurs by fast reconnection in magnetic fields 100 G and electric fields exceeding about 0.3 times the Dreicer field at fairly low particle densities ( 10¹⁰ cm^–3); for larger densities plasma heating is expected to occur (Section 8). Transport of accelerated particles towards interplanetary space demands a field-line configuration open to space. Such a configuration originates mainly after the gradual gamma-ray/proton flares, and particularly after two-ribbon flares; these flares belong to the dynamic flares in Sturrock and vestka's flare classification. Acceleration to GeV energies occurs subsequently in shock waves, probably by first-order Fermi acceleration (Section 9).
