    High-resolution observations of the QSO 3C 345 at 1.3 centimeters (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: High-resolution VLBI observations made at a frequency of 22.235 GHz of the quasar 3C 345 are discussed. Antennas located at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, USSR; Onsala, Sweden; Effelsberg, West Germany; and the Haystack Observatory, Massachusetts were employed at 4-min integration times to provide baselines ranging up to 5.5 x 10 to the 8th wavelengths. About 40% of the total flux density of 7.85 Jy, observed in November 1977, and 8.05 Jy, observed in October 1978, is found to originate in an unresolved component of the quasar core in a region less than 0.1 milliarcsec in diameter. The elongated jet-like component of the quasar is observed to contain several peaks of emission extending up to 6 milliarsec from the core which decreased in extent between the two observations.

    Centaurus A /NGC 5128/ at 2 keV-2.3 MeV - HEAO 1 observations and implications (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The active-nucleus galaxy Centaurus A has been studied at 2 keV-2.3 MeV using data from the UCSD/MIT hard X-ray and low-energy gamma-ray instrument and the GSFC/CIT cosmic X-ray experiment on HEAO-1. It is found that an E exp -1.60 + or - 0.03 power law spectrum breaking to E exp -2.0 + or - 0.2 at 140 keV best describes the January and July 1978 data. The average intensity was 50% higher during the January observations. Upper limits to unresolved lines at 511 keV and 1.6 MeV were found to be 6.5 x 10 to the -4th photons/sq cm-s and 2.2 x 10 to the -4th photons/sq cm-s, respectively, at the 90% confidence level. The present data are consistent with the detailed calculations of the synchrotron self-Compton mechanism; they may also agree, marginally, with the predictions of emission from spherical accretion onto black holes.

    Rapid variability of 10-140 keV X-rays from Cygnus X-1 (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: On five occasions in 1977 and 1978, Cygnus X-1 was observed using the low-energy detectors of the UCSD/MIT Hard X-ray and Low-Energy Gamma Ray experiment on the HEAO 1 satellite. Rapid (times between 0.08 and 1000 sec) variability was found in the 10-140 keV band. The power spectrum was white for frequencies between 0.001 and 0.05 Hz and was proportional to the inverse of the frequency for frequencies between 0.05 and 3 Hz, indicating correlations on all time scales less than approximately 20 s. The shape of the energy spectrum was correlated with intensity; it was harder at higher intensity. If the emission is produced by Comptonization of a soft photon flux in a hot cloud, the heating of the cloud cannot be constant; it must vary on time scales up to approximately 20 s. A variable accretion rate could cause the observed effects.

    Development of a radio-astrometric catalog by means of very long baseline interferometry observations (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been developing a radio-astrometric catalogue for use in the application of radio interferometry to interplanetary navigation and geodesy. The catalogue consists of approximately 100 compact extragalactic radio sources whose relative positions have formal uncertainties of the order of 0.01 arcsec. The sources cover nearly all of the celestial sphere above -40 deg declination. By using the optical counterparts of many of these radio sources, this radio reference frame has been tied to the FK4 optical system with a global accuracy of approximately 0.1 arcsec. This paper describes the status of this work.

    A heating mechanism for the chromospheres of M dwarf stars (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The atmospheric structure of the dwarf M-stars which is especially important to the general field of stellar chromospheres and coronae was investigated. The M-dwarf stars constitute a class of objects for which the discrepancy between the predictions of the acoustic wave chromospheric/coronal heating hypothesis and the observations is most vivid. It is assumed that they represent a class of stars where alternative atmospheric heating mechanisms, presumably magnetically related, are most clearly manifested. Ascertainment of the validity of a hypothesis to account for the origin of the chromospheric and transition region line emission in M-dwarf stars is proposed.

    A variable mixing-length ratio for convection theory (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: It is argued that a natural choice for the local mixing length in the mixing-length theory of convection has a value proportional to the local density scale height of the convective bubbles. The resultant variable mixing-length ratio (the ratio between the mixing length and the pressure scale height) of this theory is enhanced in the superadiabatic region and approaches a constant in deeper layers. Numerical tests comparing the new mixing length successfully eliminate most of the density inversion that typically plagues conventional results. The new approach also seems to indicate the existence of granular motion at the top of the convection zone.

    Rotation of dwarf star chromospheres in the ultraviolet (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Periodic variations in the ultraviolet fluxes of chromospheric emission line multiplets are investigated for F, G and K stars as evidence of rotational modulation. Vacuum ultraviolet spectra were obtained with the IUE spacecraft for six stars as many as 11 times over the period April 23 to December 3, 1980. Variations in the emission fluxes of the hydrogen Lyman-alpha, Si II and Mg II lines are observed with periods up to 47 days. The periodicity, which is identified with rotational modulation, is found to persist over many rotational cycles, although the periods and time dependences of the fluxes from the different ionic species are not identical, probably due to differential rotation and global distributions. The spread of the UV periods is observed to be within 10%, with one or two peaks per cycle and a ratio of modulated to umodulated flux ranging from 1.1 to 3.0, analogous to solar behavior.

    Abundances of argon, sulfur, and neon in six galactic H II regions from infrared forbidden lines (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Airborne measurements of the Ar II (6.99 micron) and S III (18.71 micron) forbidden lines for six compact H II regions are presented, as well as ground-based 2-4 micron and 8-13 micron spectroscopy if not already published. From these data and radio data, lower limits to the elemental abundances of Ar, Ne, and S are deduced. G29.9-0.0, at 5 kpc from the galactic center, is overabundant in all these elements. The other five regions (at distances 6-13 kpc from the center) mainly appear to be consistent with standard abundances, with the exception of G75.84 + 0.4 at 10 kpc from the galactic center, which is overabundant in S. However, preliminary results on G12.8-0.2 at 6 kpc from the galactic center suggest a possible underabundance. A large statistical sample of H II regions is required in order to determine if there is a radial gradient in the heavy element abundances of the Galaxy.

    The Gemini-Monoceros X-ray enhancement - A giant X-ray ring (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A 1.5 deg spatial resolution map of the 1/4 KeV diffuse X-ray background enhancement in the Gemini and Monoceros constellations is found to show a circular ring-shaped emission feature with a diameter of 20 deg. The feature and possible X-ray contributions from the Mon OB1 association and neighboring supernova remnants are discussed. From 300 pc, the region has a radius of 50 pc, with an emitting electron density of 0.01 per cu cm. A shell of expanding neutral hydrogen and nonthermal radio spur is observed outside the ring with the X-ray emitting pulsar PSR 0656 + 14 lying close to the center of the ring. Origins of the ring are discussed, ruling out formation by the association Mon OB1. The ring is considered to be a field supernova remnant formed by the progenitor of the central pulsar, and providing constraints on theories of remnant evolution. This conclusion is found to agree with estimated supernova rates, and the absence of additional examples of this stage of evolution is an observational selection effect.
