    Resonance laser-induced ionisation of sodium vapour taking radiative transfer into account

Аннотация: The problem of ionisation of atomic sodium in the field of resonance laser radiation is numerically solved taking radiative transfer into account. Seed electrons are produced due to the mechanism of associative ionisation, then they gain energy in superelastic processes (collisions of the second kind) and initiate the avalanche ionisation of the medium by electron impact. We studied the effect of secondary radiation on the laser pulse propagation upon competition between the ionising and quenching electron collisions with excited atoms, on the kinetics of ionisation-induced vapour bleaching, and the plasma channel expansion in the form of a halo.

Аннотация: While there are many approximations describing the flow of the solar wind past the magnetosphere in the magnetosheath, the case of perfectly aligned (parallel or antiparallel) interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind flow vectors can be treated exactly in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approach. In this work we examine a case of nearly-opposed (to within 15) interplanetary field and flow vectors, which occurred on October 24-25, 2001 during passage of the last interplanetary coronal mass ejection in an ejecta merger. Interplanetary data are from the ACE spacecraft. Simultaneously Wind was crossing the near-Earth (X similar to -13 Re) geomagnetic tail and subsequently made an approximately 5-hour-long magnetosheath crossing close to the ecliptic plane (Z = -0.7 Re). Geomagnetic activity was returning steadily to quiet, "ground" conditions. We first compare the predictions of the Spreiter and Rizzi theory with the Wind magnetosheath observations and find fair agreement, in particular as regards the proportionality of the magnetic field strength and the product of the plasma density and bulk speed. We then carry out a small-perturbation analysis of the Spreiter and Rizzi solution to account for the small IMF components perpendicular to the flow vector. The resulting expression is compared to the time series of the observations and satisfactory agreement is obtained. We also present and discuss observations in the dawnside boundary layer of pulsed, high-speed (v similar to 600 km/s) flows exceeding the solar wind flow speeds. We examine various generating mechanisms and suggest that the most likely cause is a wave of frequency 3.2 mHz excited at the inner edge of the boundary layer by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.

Аннотация: It is well known that lithospheric electromagnetic emissions are generated before earthquakes occurrence. In our study, we consider the physical penetration mechanism of the electric field from the Earth's surface, through the atmosphere-ionosphere layers, and until its detection in space by satellites. A simplified approach is investigated using the electric conductivity equation, i.e., del((sigma) over cap.del Phi) = 0 in the case of a vertical inclination of the geomagnetic field lines. Particular interest is given to the conductivity profile near the ground and the electric field distribution at the Earth's surface. Our results are discussed and compared to the models of Pulinets et al. (2003) and Denisenko et al. (2008). It is shown that the near ground atmospheric layer with low conductivity decreases the electric field penetration into the ionosphere. The model calculations have demonstrated that the electric field of lithospheric origin is too weak to be observed at satellite altitudes.

    Mass loss of "Hot Jupiters " - Implications for CoRoT discoveries. Part I: The importance of magnetospheric protection of a planet against ion loss caused by coronal mass ejections

Аннотация: Atmospheric erosion due to CME-caused ion pick-up is investigated here for the first time for short periodic gas giants (so-called "Hot Jupiters") orbiting close to a star, To study the effect of encountering CMEs produced on the inagnetospheres and atmospheres of "Hot Jupiters" we model possible interaction of dense CME plasma with the exoplanet HD209458b (r(pl) = 1.43r(Jup) M(pl) = 0.69 M(jup)), which orbits a 4.0-5.0 Gyr old Sun-like star at a distance of about 0.045 AU. A numerical hydrodynamic model is applied for calculation of the upper atmospheric density and the hydrogen wind of HD209458b Lis a function of planetocentric distance. Taking into account the similarity of HD209458b's host star to Our Sun we use for the study of the ion production and loss rate of H(+) ions the solar CME plasma parameters and apply a numerical test particle model. Tidal-locking of short periodic exoplanets closely located to their host stars should result in weaker intrinsic planetary magnetic moments, as compared to those of the fast rotating Jupiter type planets at much larger orbits. It is shown that in this case the encountering CME plasma can compress the magnetospheric stand-off distance of short periodic "Hot Jupiters" down to the heights Lit which the ionization and pick-LIP of the planetary neutral atmosphere by the CME plasma flow take place. Assuming for the host star of HD209458b the same CME occurrence rate Lis on the Suit, we estimate possible total mass loss rates of HD2094581b due to its collisions with CMEs over the planet lifetime. It has been found that Under different estimations of the value of a planetary magnetic moment, HD209458b Could have lost over its lifetime the mass from 0-2 up to several times of its present mass M(pl).

    Aspects of solar wind interaction with Mars: comparison of fluid and hybrid simulations

Аннотация: Mars has no global intrinsic magnetic field, and consequently the solar wind plasma interacts directly with the planetary ionosphere. The main factors of this interaction are: thermalization of plasma after the bow shock, ion pick-up process, and the magnetic barrier effect, which results in the magnetic field enhancement in the vicinity of the obstacle. Results of ideal magnetohydrodynamic and hybrid simulations are compared in the subsolar magnetosheath region. Good agreement between the models is obtained for the magnetic field and plasma parameters just after the shock front, and also for the magnetic field profiles in the magnetosheath. Both models predict similar positions of the proton stoppage boundary, which is known as the ion composition boundary. This comparison allows one to estimate applicability of magnetohydrodynamics for Mars, and also to check the consistency of the hybrid model with Rankine-Hugoniot conditions at the bow shock. An additional effect existing only in the hybrid model is a diffusive penetration of the magnetic field inside the ionosphere. Collisions between ions and neutrals are analyzed as a possible physical reason for the magnetic diffusion seen in the hybrid simulations.

    Plasma and magnetic field parameters in the vicinity of short-periodic giant exoplanets

Аннотация: During the past years, more than 130 giant planets were discovered in extrasolar planetary systems. Because of the fact that the orbital distances are very close to their host stars, these planets are embedded in a dense stellar wind, which can pick up planetary ions. We model the stellar wind interaction of the short-periodic exoplanets OGLE-TR-56b and HD 209458b at their orbital distances of approximate to 0.023 AU and approximate to 0.045 AU, by calculating the Alfven Mach number and the magnetosonic Mach number in the stellar wind plasma flow. We then analyze the different plasma interaction regimes around the planetary obstacles, which appear for different stellar wind parameters. Our study shows that the stellar wind plasma parameters like temperature, interplanetary magnetic field, particle density, and velocity near planetary obstacles at orbital distances closer than 0.1-0.2 AU have conditions such that no bow shocks evolve. Our study shows also that these close-in exoplanets are in a submagnetosonic regime comparable to the magnetospheric plasma interaction of the inner satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. Furthermore, we compare the results achieved for both exoplanets with the Jupiter-class exoplanet HD 28185b at its orbital distance of approximate to 1.03 AU. Finally, we also discuss the behavior of the stellar wind plasma flow close to the planetary obstacles of two highly eccentric gas giants, namely, HD 108147b and HD 162020b. Because of their eccentric orbits, these two exoplanets periodically experience both regimes with and without a bow shock. Finally, we simulate the neutral gas density of HD 209458b with a Monte Carlo model. By using the plasma parameters obtained in our study we calculate the ion production and loss rate of H+ with a test particle model. Our simulations yield H+ loss rates for HD 209458b or similar giant exoplanets in orders of about 10(8)-10(9) g s(-1). These ion loss rates are at least 1 order of magnitude lower than the observed loss rate of evaporating neutral H atoms. Our study indicates, that similar gas giants at larger orbital distances have lower ion loss rates. Thus, the dominating component of particle loss of short-periodic Jupiter-class exoplanets will be neutral hydrogen.

    A comparison of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities at the Martian ionopause

Аннотация: It is known from Pioneer Venus measurements that at the Venusian ionopause wave-like structures develop, which can detach in the form of ionospheric plasma clouds. This phenomenon is assumed to occur due to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which can appear in large regions of the Venusian ionopause. Recent studies of Mars Global Surveyor measurements indicate that wave-like structures and plasma clouds also detach from the Martian ionopause. Therefore, these features seem to be common for the solar wind interaction of non-magnetized planets. We study the conditions at the Martian ionopause with respect to the occurrence of several MHD instabilities. The conditions in the magnetosheath are modeled by a semi-analytical MHD simulation that includes mass loading. The ionospheric parameter needed for the model calculations are taken from a global hybrid model. The stability of the Martian ionopause against the Kelvin-Helmholtz, the Rayleigh-Taylor, and the interchange instability is analyzed. Further, we suggest that including the Hall term in the description of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability gives a current in the planetary boundary layer resulting in a shear flow compared with the ionospheric plasma, which can lead to an unstable boundary layer near the subsolar point. Since the interchange instability depends on the curvature of the magnetic field lines, we additionally study the influence of the strong curvature of the Martian ionopause due to the localized, remnant, crustal magnetism appearing mainly in the southern hemisphere of Mars.

    Ion loss on Mars caused by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability

Аннотация: Mars Global Surveyor detected cold electrons above the Martian ionopause, which can be interpreted as detached ionospheric plasma clouds. Similar observations by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter electron temperature probe showed also extreme spatial irregularities of electrons in the form of plasma clouds on Venus, which were explained by the occurrence of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Therefore, we suggest that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability may also detach ionospheric plasma clouds on Mars. We investigate the instability growth rate at the Martian ionopause resulting from the flow of the solar wind for the case where the interplanetary magnetic field is oriented normal to the flow direction. Since the velocity shear near the subsolar point is very small, this area is stable with respect to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We found that the highest flow velocities are reached at the equatorial flanks near the terminator plane, while the maximum plasma density in the terminator plane appears at the polar areas. By comparing the instability growth rate with the magnetic barrier formation time, we found that the instability can evolve into a non-linear stage at the whole terminator plane but preferably at the equatorial flanks. Escape rates of O+ ions due to detached plasma clouds in the order of about 2 x 10(23)-3 x 10(24) s(-1) are found. Thus, atmospheric loss caused by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability should be comparable with other non-thermal loss processes. Further, we discuss our results in view of the expected observations of heavy ion loss rates by ASPERA-3 on board of Mars Express. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Аннотация: The interplanetary magnetic field is enhanced in a thin layer near the magnetopause which is called the magnetic barrier or plasma depletion layer. The magnetic energy stored in the magnetic barrier can be released during the process of magnetic field reconnection. Using ideal magnetohydrodynamics and assuming a sudden decrease of the magnetic field near the magnetopause due to the reconnection pulse, we analyze the model variations of the plasma parameters and the magnetic field at the magnetosheath. For a given reconnection rate and calculated parameters of the magnetic barrier, we derive the duration of a reconnection pulse as a function of the solar wind parameters. (C) 2003 COSPAR.

    The role of the magnetic barrier in the solar wind-magneto sphere interaction

Аннотация: The magnetized solar wind carries a large amount of energy but only a small fraction of it enters the magnetosphere and powers its dynamics. Numerous observations show that the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is a key parameter regulating the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. The main factor determining the amount of energy extracted from the solar wind flow by the magnetosphere is the plasma flow structure in the region adjacent to the sunward side of the magnetopause. While compared to the energy of the solar wind flow the IMF magnetic energy is relatively weak, it is considerably enhanced in a thin layer next to the dayside magnetopause variously called the plasma depletion layer or magnetic barrier. Important features of this barrier/layer are (i) a pile-up of the magnetic field with (ii) a concurrent decrease of density, (iii) enhancement of proton temperature anisotropy, (iv) asymmetry of plasma flow caused by magnetic field tension. and (v) characteristic wave emissions (ion cyclotron waves). Importantly, the magnetic barrier can be considered as an energy source for magnetic reconnection. While the steady-state magnetic barrier has been extensively examined, non-steady processes therein have only been addressed by a few authors. We discuss here two non-steady aspects related to variations of the magnetic barrier caused by (i) a north-to-south rotation of the IMF, and (ii) by pulses of magnetic field reconnection at the magnetopause. When the IMF rotates smoothly from north-to-south, a transition layer is shown to appear in the magnetosheath which evolves into a thin layer bounded by sharp gradients in the magnetic field and plasma quantities. For a given reconnection rate and calculated parameters of the magnetic barrier, we estimate the duration and length scale of a reconnection pulse as a function of the solar wind parameters. Considering a sudden decrease of the magnetic field near the magnetopause caused by the reconnection pulse, we study the relaxation process of the magnetic barrier. We find that the relaxation time is longer than the duration of the reconnection pulse for large Alfved-Mach numbers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Аннотация: Magnetic reconnection is a process which allows topological different magnetic fields to interconnect. Thus, in magnetospheric context, reconnection is strongly associated with substorm phenomena. Because many observations show a difference between the pressure parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field, it is reasonable to study the reconnection mechanism for the set of equations, involving a pressure tensor. Existing theoretical work for isotropic weak reconnection is extended for anisotropic theory. In particular, the reconnection associated discontinuities as the Alfven discontinuity, the slow shock, and the contact discontinuity are generalized for anisotropic pressure. (C) 2002 COSPAR.

Аннотация: The study of the interaction of the solar wind with magnetized and unmagnetized planets forms a central topic of space research. Focussing on planetary magnetosheaths, we review some major developments in this field. Magnetosheath structures depend crucially on the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field, the solar wind Alfven Mach number, the shape of the obstacle (axisymmetric/non-axisymmetric, etc.), the boundary conditions at the magnetopause (low/high magnetic shear), and the degree of thermal anisotropy of the plasma. We illustrate the cases of Earth, Jupiter and Venus. The terrestrial magnetosphere is axisymmetric and has been probed in situ by many spacecraft. Jupiter's magnetosphere is highly non-axisymmetric. Furthermore, we study magnetohydrodynamic effects in the Venus magnetosheath.

Аннотация: We describe the "magnetic string" approach to integrating the dissipationless magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for flow around planetary obstacles and apply it to some aspects of the flow in the magnetosheath of Venus. Our method has both analytical and numerical components and is particularly suited to study the structure of the magnetic barrier (depletion layer). We do not include ion pickup processes and thus discuss only the contribution to the structure of the Venus magnetosheath made by the flow of the shocked solar wind. We work with an interplanetary magnetic field which is directed orthogonal to the solar wind bulk velocity. Magnetic forces on the flow are strongly dependent on the Alfven Mach number upstream of the bow shock, and one aim of this work is to study the dependence of field and flow quantities in the Venus magnetosheath on this parameter, thus allowing further future comparisons with data under a variety of interplanetary conditions. A second aim is to compare our MHD model results to a? synopsis of observations made by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. As one main conclusion, we show that this method leads, in principle, to a standoff bow shock position in good agreement with observations. We find, namely, that for a low but reasonable Alfven Mach number, our MHD-modeled magnetosheath is only similar to 3.6% thinner in the Sun-Venus direction than that given by observations. Our method is complementary to three-dimensional, global MHD simulations of the solar wind-Venus interaction and offers versatility to modeling other aspects of the complicated interaction of the solar wind with Venus.

Аннотация: Using a two-dimensional, incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, we study unsteady reconnection of antiparallel magnetic fields in the symmetric case. The magnetic reconnection process is initiated by variation of a local resistivity assumed to be a given function of time and spatial coordinates. The diffusion region of reconnection is treated as a thin boundary layer where the perpendicular components of magnetic field and velocity are much smaller than the components of these quantities along the layer. The unsteady MHD equations are solved by a two-step finite difference numerical scheme with an implicit approximation of the magnetic diffusion terms in a uniform right angle grid. In the numerical study, we use the initial conditions related to a uniform current layer without any motion of the plasma. The time-dependent reconnection process is characterized by the following important parameters: A timescale of the local resistivity, a length scale of the local resistivity, a local Reynolds number determined for the maximum resistivity and the length scale of the diffusion region. The numerical results show that the Petschek type reconnection is realized for the sufficiently small length scale and large time scale of the local resistivity, and a moderate local Reynolds number. Using unsteady numerical MHD solution obtained for the diffusion region, we determine the reconnection rate as a function of time by matching of the outer Petschek solution and the internal diffusion region solution.

Аннотация: A quantitative division of the ionosphere into dynamo and motor regions is performed on the base of empirical models of space distributions of ionospheric parameters. Pedersen and Hall conductivities are modified to represent an impact of acceleration of the medium because of Ampere's force. It is shown that the currents in the F(2) layer are greatly reduced for processes of a few hours duration. This reduction is in particular important for the night-side low-latitude ionosphere. The International Reference Ionosphere model is used to analyze the effect quantitatively. This model gives a second high conducting layer in the night-side low-latitude ionosphere that reduces the electric field and equatorial electrojets, but intensifies night-side currents during the short-term events. These currents occupy regions which are much wider than those of equatorial electrojets. It is demonstrated that the parameter sigma(d)=sigma(P)+sigma(H)Sigma(H)/Sigma(P) that involves the integral Pedersen and Hall conductances Sigma(P), Sigma(H) ought to be used instead of the local Cowling conductivity sigma C in calculations of the electric current density in the equatorial ionosphere. We may note that Gurevich et al. (1976) derived a parameter similar to sigma(d) for more general conditions as those which we discuss in this paper; a more detailed description of this point is given in Sect. 6. Both, sigma(d) and sigma(C), appear when a magnetic field line is near a nonconducting domain which means zero current through the boundary of this domain. The main difference between sigma(d) and sigma(C) is that sigma d definition includes the possibility for the electric current to flow along a magnetic field line in order to close all currents which go to this line from neighboring ones. The local Cowling conductivity sigma(C) corresponds to the current closure at each point of a magnetic field line. It is adequate only for a magnetic field line with constant local conductivity at the whole line when field-aligned currents do not exist because of symmetry, but sigma(C)=sigma(d) in this case. So, there is no reason to use the local Cowling conductivity while the Cowling conductance Sigma(C)=Sigma(P)+Sigma(2)(H)/Sigma(P) is a useful and well defined parameter.

Аннотация: The classic approach to calculate the electrostatic field penetration, from the Earth's surface into the ionosphere, is to consider the following equation del. ((sigma) over cap del Phi) =0 where (sigma) over cap and Phi are the electric conductivity and the potential of the electric field, respectively. The penetration characteristics strongly depend on the conductivities of atmosphere and ionosphere. To estimate the electrostatic field penetration up to the orbital height of DEMETER satellite (about 700 km) the role of the ionosphere must be analyzed. It is done with help of a special upper boundary condition for the atmospheric electric field. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the ionospheric conductivity on the electrostatic field penetration from the Earth's surface into the ionosphere. We show that the magnitude of the ionospheric electric field penetrated from the ground is inverse proportional to the value of the ionospheric Pedersen conductance. So its typical value in day-time is about hundred times less than in night-time.

Аннотация: The effect of viscous friction at the boundary between the plasma sheet and the solar wind on electric field generation in the plasma sheet is estimated. The boundary layer is modeled by a viscous layer with two mixing plasma flows. The distribution of the flow velocity in the inner parts of the plasma sheet outside the boundary layer is specified on the basis of experimental data. The calculated distribution of the electric potential in the plasma sheet and at the magnetopause is projected along magnetic lines onto the ionosphere. It has been indicated that, within the scope of the adopted model, viscous friction on the magnetotail flanks for an effective Reynolds number of Re = 3 x 10(3) results in an increase in the potential across the polar cap from 11 to 18 kV. In this case the maximum and minimum of the electric potential at the polar cap boundary are shifted from the nightside to the dayside. It is emphasized that the total distribution of the electric potential in the polar cap under quiet conditions results from the operation of several mechanisms of electric field generation.

    Variation in the effective conductivity due to motion in the ionosphere
[Text] / V. V. Denisenko, S. S. Zamay // Geomagn. Aeron. - 2001. - Vol. 41, Is. 1. - P91-95. - Cited References: 19 . - ISSN 0016-7932

Аннотация: A method for estimating the effect of ponderomotive forces on the distribution of large-scale electric fields and currents in the ionosphere has been proposed. A model of the ionosphere as a global conductor is used to re-calculate local values of the conductivity tensor components in such a way that the acceleration of the medium under the action of ponderomotive forces would be taken into account. A multifold decrease in the F-2-layer effective conductivity has been found for processes lasting for several hours. In this case, the contribution of the entire F layer to the integral conductivity is significantly lowered and becomes negligible for the daytime ionosphere. In the nighttime, the F-layer contribution to the integral Pedersen conductivity several times exceeds the E-layer contribution.

Аннотация: A mathematical model of the flow in a round submerged turbulent jet is considered. The model includes differential transport equations for the normal components of the Reynolds stress tensor and Rodi's algebraic approximations for shear stresses. A theoretical-group analysis of the examined model is performed, and a reduced self-similar system of ordinary differential equations is derived and solved numerically. It is shown that the calculated results agree with available experimental data.

Аннотация: Medical image processing is the most challenging and emerging field nowadays. Edge detection of MRI images is one of the most important elements of this field. This paper describes the proposed strategy to detect the edges of brain tumor from patient's MRI scan images of the brain. This method incorporates with some noise removal functions, followed by improvement features and gain better characteristics of medical images for a right diagnosis using BCET. The result of second stage is subjected to image segmentation by using Fuzzy c-Means (ECM) clustering method. Finally, canny edge detection method is applied to detect the fine edges. For the experimental study we used images containing brain tumors that were characterized by different location, type of pathology, shape, size and density, as well as the size of the area of the affected tissue near the tumor space. Detection and extraction of tumor from MRI scan images of the brain is done by using MATLAB software. The result of studies of the experimental material with usage of the proposed methodology demonstrates some resistivity to a noise. Also, an increase in the accuracy of solving the problems of geometric analysis and segmentation, in some cases of tumor pathology, was found to be up to 10-15% better relative to the corresponding expert estimates.
