Vertical evolution of exocometary gas – I. How vertical diffusion shortens the CO lifetime

چکیده

Bright debris discs can contain large amounts of CO gas. This gas was thought to be a protoplanetary remnant until it recently shown that could released in collisions volatile-rich solids. As is released, interstellar UV radiation photodissociates producing CI, which shield allowing mass accumulate. However, this picture challenged because CI inefficient at shielding if and are vertically mixed. Here, we study for the first time vertical evolution determine how mixing affects efficiency by CI. We present 1D model accounts release, photodissociation, ionisation, viscous evolution, due turbulent diffusion. find surface density high diffusion weak ($\alpha_{\rm v}/\alpha<[H/r]^2$) above midplane, forming an optically thick layer shields underneath. Conversely, strong v}/\alpha>[H/r]^2$) become well mixed, shortening lifetime. Moreover, also limit amount dust settling. High-resolution ALMA observations resolve distribution thus constrain shielding. scale heights may not good probes mean molecular weight, composition, Finally, show lifetime might long enough spread interior planetesimal belt where produced.

CME Evolution of the Vertical Reduction Mammaplasty

A recent survey found that the inferior pedicle, inverted-T skin pattern is still the most common breast reduction technique used among U.S. plastic surgeons.1 This technique has been widely taught in North America and is familiar to most American plastic surgeons. Using the skin markings of this technique, the glandular excess, skin envelope, and nipple position may be readily and reliably add...

Vertical equilibrium of molecular gas in galaxies

Wepresent CO(1-0) andCO(2-1) observations of the two nearly face-on galaxies NGC628 and NGC3938, in particular cuts along the major and minor axis. The contribution of the beam-smeared in-plane velocity gradients to the observed velocity width is quite small in the outer parts of the galaxies. This allows us to derive the velocity dispersion of the molecular gas perpendicular to the plane. We f...

Vertical Structure and Double Diffusion Convection of the Water Column in the Southern Shores of the Caspian Sea

Background and Objectives: Different types of instability occur at sea. Layered structures are one of the most important physical phenomena in marine environments. Static stability and double diffusion are associated with density changes with respect to depth and temperature and salinity gradients, respectively. Due to the difference in temperature and salinity in the water column, marine areas...
