A total of 27 Ca- and Al-rich inclusions have been found in the three meteorites, which are the earliest assemblages formed in the solar nebula. Most of the inclusions are intensively altered, with abundant phyllosilicates in the inclusions from GRV 020025 and FeO enrichment of spinel in those from GRV 022459. Except for one spinel-spherule in each of GRV 020025 and 021579, all the inclusions can be classified as Type A-like or spinel-pyroxene-rich inclusions, and they probably represent the continuum of solar nebular condensation. In addition, most of the inclusions in these meteorites share much similarity in both petrography and mineral chemistry, suggesting a similar origin of Ca-Al-rich inclusions in various chondrites.展开更多

We present large scale observations of C^18O (1-0) towards four massive star forming regions: MON R2, S156, DR17/L906 and M17/M18.

The transitions of H2CO (110-111), C^18O (1-0) and the 6cm continuum are compared in these four regions. Our analysis of the observations and the results of the Non-LTE model shows that the brightness temperature of the formaldehyde absorption line is strongest in a background continuum temperature range of about 3 - 8 K. The excitation of the H2CO absorption line is affected by strong background continuum emission. From a comparison of H2CO and C^18O maps, we found that the extent of H2CO absorption is broader than that of C^18O emission in the four regions. Except for the DR17 region, the maximum in H2CO absorption is located at the same position as the C^18O peak. A good correlation between intensities and widths of H2CO absorption and C^18O emission lines indicates that the H2CO absorption line can trace the dense, warm regions of a molecular cloud. We find that N(H2CO) is well correlated with N( C^18O) in the four regions and that the average ratio of column densities is (N(H2CO)/N(ClSO)) ~0.03.展开更多

We study the structure and evolution of M81 with an evolutionarypopulation synthesis (EPS) model, PEGASE. We find that the exponentially deceasing star formationrate (SFR) with star formation scale 3 Gyr (hereafter Exp, τ = 3 Gyr) gives the best agreementbetween the model predictions and the observed SEDs. We then obtain the structure, age distributionand evolutionary history of M81. There is a clear age gradient between the central and outerregions. The populations in the central regions are older than 7 Gyr, those in the outer regions areyounger, at about 4.5 Gyr. The youngest components in the spiral arms have ages of about 2.5 Gyr orless.展开更多

A total of 26 regions have been observed inside the nebula with the Dual Etalon Fabry- Perot Optical Spectrometer system at the f/48 Coud6 focus of the 150 cm RTT150 telescope located at TUBITAK National Observatory in Antalya, Turkey. The inten- sities, local standard of rest velocities, heliocentric radial velocities and linewidths for full width at half maximum of the Hα emission lines have been determined from these observations. They lie in the range of 259 to 1159 Rayleigh (R; 1R = 106/47r pho- tons cm-2 sr-1 S-1 = 2.41 × 10-7 erg cm-2 sr-1 S-1 at Ha), 4 to 12 km s-1, -3 to -11 km s-1 and 44 to 55 km s-i, respectively. The radial velocity measurements show that there are several maxima and minima inside W80. The new results confirm findings in the literature that the complex seems to be rather uniform in terms of radial velocity and no turbulent motion is seen inside the complex. The average value of the calculated emission measure for the region is 3.1 pc cm-6.展开更多
