It is shown that the perihelia of comets of the Kreutz family are clustered around two planes (great circles of the celestial sphere). Numerical data on the observed bifurcation of perihelion distribution are provided. One of the planes basically coincides with the plane obtained by averaging orbit parameters Ω and <i>i</i>. The second plane with parameters Ω_<i>p</i> = 77.7° and <i>i</i>_<i>p</i> = 266.1° has an inclination of approximately 64° relative to the first plane. The distant nodes of cometary orbits relative to this plane are clustered at a distance of approximately 2 a.u. On the basis of the above, one of the authors hypothesizes that the comet group originates from the collision of a large comet with a meteoroid stream. This study examines some counterarguments expressed regarding this hypothesis. It is shown, based on a particular case, that the assumptions about the concentration of comet perihelia near one point and along two circles of the celestial sphere are quite compatible. The distribution of orbit inclinations relative to this plane is analyzed and a sharp maximum near 90° is noted. The maximum indicates that the parent body experienced lateral impacts of meteoroid bodies in all probability, which caused defragmentation of the former. New confirmations of the suggested hypothesis about the presence of another group of sungrazers have been found. It is assumed that the correlation dependence between the values of the perihelion parameters and ascending nodes of cometary orbits is of an evolutionary nature and is related to the group formation process. New relationships that concern the Meyer, Kracht, and Marsden groups are introduced. In particular, the authors have calculated the planes near which the cometary perihelia of these groups are concentrated. The example of the Meyer group illustrates the bifurcation of perihelia.</p>","PeriodicalId":681,"journal":{"name":"Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141506939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Krivodubskij","doi":"10.3103/s088459132403005x","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3103/s088459132403005x","url":null,"abstract":"<h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Abstract</h3><p>According to classical magnetohydrodynamics, the magnetic fields on the Sun are characterized by huge theoretically calculated time intervals of their ohmic dissipation due to the high inductance caused by the large size of the fields and the high gas kinetic electrical conductivity of the plasma. This is in striking contrast to the observed rapid changes in the structure of solar magnetism. To solve such a contradiction, it becomes relevant to search for new methods of studying magnetized plasma. Research efforts to consider turbulent motions in the plasma ended with the creation of macroscopic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), within which substantial decreases in the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability leading to a decrease in the calculated time of reconstruction of global magnetic fields are found. This study aims at calculating the coefficients of turbulent electrical conductivity and turbulent magnetic permeability of the solar plasma and analyzing changes in the spatiotemporal evolution of the global magnetism of the Sun considering these parameters. Macroscopic MHD methods are used for studying the behavior of global electromagnetic fields and hydrodynamic motions in turbulent plasma. For models of the photosphere and convection zone of the Sun, the distributions of the following parameters along the solar radius are calculated: coefficients of kinematic (ν), magnetic (ν_m), and turbulent (ν_T) viscosities; hydrodynamic (Re) and magnetic (Rm) Reynolds numbers; gas kinetic (σ) and turbulent (σ_T) electrical conductivities; and turbulent magnetic permeability μ_T. The theoretically calculated parameters have the following values: ν = 0.2–10 cm²/s; ν_m = 6 × 10⁸–8 × 10² cm²/s; ν_T = 10¹¹–10¹³ cm²/s; Re = 5 × 10¹¹–5 × 10¹³; Rm = 10⁴–10¹⁰; σ = 10¹¹–4 × 10¹⁶ CGS; σ_T = 10⁹–4 × 10¹¹ CGS; μ_T = 10^–2–4 × 10^–5.

This is especially true for meter-sized meteoroids, for which the very existence of the magnetic effect remains in question. The purpose of this article is to present the results of the analysis of temporal variations of the <i>X-</i>, <i>Y-</i>, and <i>Z-</i>components of the geomagnetic field detected by the International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET) on the day of the Kyiv meteoroid fall and on reference days. The analysis of temporal variations has shown that the levels of these components on the day of the cosmic body explosion and on reference days were significantly different. The level of <i>X-</i>component with a 6 min delay decreased by 2…5 nT, which lasted approximately 60 min. With a delay of 25 min and a duration of 25 min, a quasi-periodic disturbance was observed with a variable period within 4…12 min and an amplitude increasing from 0.3…0.4 to 1.2…1.5 nT. The first disturbance, which had a speed of approximately 300 m/s, could have been caused by a blast wave. The second disturbance was most likely associated with the generation and oblique propagation of an atmospheric gravity wave with a speed of hundreds of meters per second. Within the ionosphere, the disturbance propagated at a speed of approximately 660 km/s by means of magnetohydrodynamic waves. The temporal variations of the <i>Y-</i> and <i>Z-</i>components on the day of the explosion fluctuated for 60 min and decreased by 5…10 nT.

The results of observations and calculations are in good agreement with each other.

The main attention in the study has been paid to those regions of the spectrum that are bandgaps for freely propagating waves. However, other types of waves that differ from the freely propagating AGWs in the way of propagation and in properties still may exist in these regions. Different types of bandgaps in the acoustic-gravity wave spectrum, which are found from the analysis of the dispersion equation obtained in the model of the infinite isothermal atmosphere, are studied. Classification of the types of bandgap regions in the AGW spectrum is proposed. The structure and the localization of the bandgaps relative to the regions of freely propagating waves and special points in the bandgaps of the AGW spectrum are studied using the corresponding spectral diagrams. In the bandgap region of type I, which separates the acoustic and gravity bands of freely propagating AGWs, horizontal waves with a purely imaginary value of the vertical wavenumber can exist. In the AGW spectrum, the possibility of the existence of special acoustic-gravity modes for which one of the perturbed quantities is zero has been considered and it is shown that they can exist only in the spectral bandgap of type I. A spectral bandgap in which vertical acoustic-gravity waves with a purely imaginary value of the horizontal wavenumber can exist was also analyzed. A spectral region in which the existence of acoustic-gravity waves is impossible but atmospheric oscillations may occur is also taken into consideration in this study.

This paper deals with the specific features of the propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in spatially inhomogeneous wind flows, wherein the velocity is slowly changed in the horizontal direction. A system of hydrodynamic equations taking into account the wind flow with spatial inhomogeneity is used for analysis. Unlike the system of equations written for a stationary medium (or a medium moving at a uniform velocity), the derived system contains the components describing the interaction of waves with a medium. It is shown that the effect of inhomogeneous background medium parameters can be separated from the effects of inertial forces by a special substitution of variables. An analytical expression describing the change in the amplitude of waves in a medium moving at a nonuniform velocity is derived. This expression contains two functional dependences: (1) the linear part, which is caused by the changes in the background parameters of a medium and independent of the propagation direction of waves with respect to the flow, and (2) the exponential part, which is related with inertial forces and characterizes the dependence of the amplitudes of acoustic-gravity waves on the direction of their propagation. The exponential part shows an increase in the amplitudes of waves in the headwind and a decrease in their amplitudes in the downwind.
