The sample is obtained by cross-matching of the 2MIG catalog (2MASS catalog of isolated galaxies based on the 2MASS) with the Véron-Cetty catalog of quasars/AGNs. The sample is limited to a stellar magnitude of 4<sup><i>m</i></sup> < <i>K</i><sub>s</sub> ≤ 12<sup><i>m</i></sup>, a radial velocity of <i>V</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> < 15 000 km/s, and the distance to the nearest large satellite galaxy. These limitations indicate that the isolated AGNs have not collided with other galaxies in at least 3 billion years, and the observed activity of their nuclei is due only to physical processes occurring in the torus–accretion disk–nuclear region–supermassive black hole system. This study systematized the radio parameters of isolated AGNs by using data from various databases and the archive of terrestrial and space telescopes. Such characteristics are necessary for the further comparative study of physical properties of regions with active star formation and the active nuclei of these galaxies with the properties that manifest themselves when observing other spectral ranges. As a result, the radio flux densities available from the databases at a frequency of 1.4 or 5 GHz for isolated AGNs from the 2MIG catalog are given. Among the 61 galaxies of the sample, flux densities at 1.4 GHz have been found for 51 galaxies. These values are in the range of 3–20 mJy for most isolated AGNs and in the range of 50–200 mJy for two galaxies PGC35009 and NGC6951, while two galaxies ESO483-009 and ESO097-013 have spectral flux densities of 352 and 1200 mJy, respectively. The flux densities of ten isolated AGNs are less than 3 mJy. Radio flux densities of NGC0157 are not related to the position of this galaxy. Ratio <i>R</i> of the spectral flux densities in the radio frequency range to those in the optical bands have been calculated. Since the flux densities at 5 GHz are measured only for eight isolated AGNs, the required values of spectral flux densities at 5 GHz on the basis of relationship <i>S</i><sub>ν</sub> ∝ ν<sup>–α</sup> for galaxies of the Seyfert type have been calculated by using the radio flux density values at 1.4 GHz and assuming that the spectral index is equal to α = 0.7. The radio fluxes densities at 5 GHz are lower than 3 mJy for 27 isolated AGNs, are in the range of 4–15 mJy for 15 AGNs, and in the range of 15–55 mJy for seven AGNs, while two galaxies ESO097-013 and ESO483-009 have radio fluxes densities of 304 and 132 mJy, respectively. We have found that 51 isolated AGNs are radio quiet sources (<i>R</i> < 10), the radio properties of nine objects are absent, and ESO483-009 is a radio loud galaxy (<i>R</i> = 20.72, Sy3/LINER, and SAB00 pec).

The problems of predicting the ionosphere response in a certain region to space weather changes currently remain topical since the physical processes occurring in the ionospheric plasma are variable and complicated. Particular interest is attracted by ionospheric disturbances with variable phases at middle latitudes and their propagation to low latitudes and the occurrence of strong ionospheric storms as a result of moderate or weak magnetic storms. The objective of this study is to perform the experimental studies of variations in the ionospheric plasma parameters over Ukraine during the very moderate magnetic storm on December 18, 2019. The study was carried out by using the incoherent scatter of radio waves as providing the most complete diagnostic capabilities and the vertical sounding method. Observations were performed in the Ionospheric Observatory of the Institute of Ionosphere (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Kharkiv) with an incoherent scatter radar. The critical frequencies were measured with a portable ionosonde. In addition, the geophysical information about the space weather and magnetosphere parameters was used. The ionosphere response to the geospace storm on December 18, 2019, over Kharkiv was analyzed. The very moderate magnetic storm (<i>K</i><sub>p</sub> = 4) was established to induce positive ionospheric disturbance. An increase in the critical frequency (up to 1.6 times) and a corresponding increase in the ionospheric <i>F</i>2 peak electron density (up to 2.6 times) was accompanied by a sequence of changes in the variations of principal ionospheric plasma parameters, such as the <i>F</i>2 layer peak height (a decrease by 30 km), the electron density throughout the entire range of studied altitudes (200–450 km), the electron and ion temperatures, and the vertical ionospheric plasma velocity component (with a decrease in the downward plasma drift velocity <i>V</i><sub>z</sub> at the noon after the magnetic storm began with further velocity recovery, the occurrence of fluctuations in the variations <i>V</i><sub>z</sub> with a quasi-period of 1 h 50 min at 15:40 UT (Universal Time) at altitudes of 360–420 km, and weakening of the evening extremum effect in the <i>V</i><sub>z</sub> variations and a maximum decrease in the velocity to 40–70 m/s at these altitudes). A substantiation was given for the following mechanism of the formation of a positive ionospheric storm: the downward plasma drift is weakened in the mid-latitude ionosphere during the winter daylight due to the fact that normal circulation is weakened by reverse storm-induced circulation.

To integrate the orbits backward in time, the authors use models of the time-varying potentials derived from cosmological simulations, which are closest to the potential of the Galaxy. This allows for estimating the probability of close passages (“collisions” herein) of SGCs with respect to each other and the Galactic center (GC) in the Galaxy undergoing dynamic changes in the past. To reproduce the dynamics of the Galaxy in time, five of the 54 potentials previously selected from the IllustrisTNG-100 large-scale cosmological database, which are similar in their characteristics (masses and dimensions of the disk and halo) to the current physical parameters of the Milky Way, are used. With these time-varying potentials, we have reproduced the orbital trajectories of 143 SGCs 10 billion years back in time using our original φ-GPU high-order N-body parallel dynamic computer code. Each SGC was treated as a single physical particle with the assigned position and velocity of the cluster center from the Gaia DR2 observations. For each of the potentials, 1000 initial conditions were generated with randomized initial velocities of SGCs within the errors of the observational data. In this study, we consider close passages to be passages with a relative distance of less than 100 pc and a relative speed of less than 250 km s<sup>–1</sup>. Clusters that pass at longer distances and/or with higher velocities do not have a substantial dynamic effect on the orbits of SGC. In our opinion, the largest changes in the orbits of clusters can be caused by clusters that pass with low velocities at distances smaller than several fold (for example, fourfold) the sum of the radii of the cluster half-masses. Therefore, the authors regard such close passages separately (for brevity, we will call such passages “collisions”). To select clusters that pass at close distances from the GC, the following criterion is applied based only on the relative distance: it must be less than 100 pc. Applying the above criteria, the authors obtained statistically significant rates of close passages of SGCs with respect to each other and to the GC. It has been determined that SGCs during their evolution have approximately ten intersecting trajectories with each other on the average and approximately three to four close passages near the GC in 1 billion years at a distance of 50 pc for each of the chosen potentials.</p>","PeriodicalId":681,"journal":{"name":"Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies","volume":"39 1","pages":"33 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4797444","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}

The meteoroid has been named the Kamchatka (or Bering Sea) meteoroid. Its basic parameters are as follows: calculated total impact energy 173 kt of TNT, total optical radiated energy 1.3 × 10<sup>14</sup> J, mass 1.41 kt, speed 32 km/s, size 9.4 m, and the trajectory directed at an angle of 68.6° with respect to the horizon. The entry of the Kamchatka meteoroid into the atmosphere was accompanied by the generation of a transient resonance electromagnetic signal in the 25–35 mHz band observable in the vicinity of the meteoroid explosion and in the magnetically conjugate region. Oscillations with amplitudes of 0.2–0.8 nT were observed over a 7-min interval. This study is aimed at analyzing the observations of the resonance electromagnetic effect from the Kamchatka meteoroid and discussing a mechanism for this effect. The resonance effect in the Earth’s magnetic field is analyzed using data with a time resolution of 1 s and an amplitude resolution of 1 nT from the database collected by the Intermagnet magnetometer network of magnetic observatories. The distance between the site of the meteoroid explosion and the magnetic observatories ranges from 1000 to 5000 km in the Northern Hemisphere and from 9010 to 12 425 km in the Southern Hemisphere. It is established that the only feasible mechanism is associated with the magnetic field displacement in the magnetosphere by the explosive impact of the celestial body, whereas only a negligibly small part of the meteoroid’s energy is spent on the generation of magnetic field perturbations. The meteoroid’s energy losses are similar to the losses in the reactive components of the radio frequency circuits, i.e., they return into the system. The oscillations cease after the meteoroid flies by, and the system returns into the initial state. The main results are summarized as follows. The resonance electromagnetic oscillations arose at 13 and 3 min prior to the Kamchatka meteoroid explosion. The duration of each observed perturbation is close to 7 min. The parameters of the quasi-periodic perturbations are similar to the parameters of magnetic Pc3 pulsations; however, they occured in the <i>Y</i> component of the magnetic field rather than in the <i>X</i> component of the magnetic field. Their observed periods are in the range of 33–36 s, and the amplitudes are in the range of 0.4–0.9 nT. Similar resonance oscillations were also recorded in the magnetically conjugate region. A mechanism for generating the resonance oscillations is proposed. The essence of the mechanism is that the meteoroid explosively impacts the magnetosphere and deforms the magnetic field lines that begin to oscillate at their eigenfrequencies.

The observations were performed with the two telescopes: AZT-8 of observation station Lisnyky of the Astronomical Observatory of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Kyiv oblast, Ukraine) and Zeiss-600 of high-altitude observatory Peak Terskol of the International Center for Astronomical, Medical, and Ecological Research (IC AMER) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. In total, more than sixty nights of observations were recorded and processed. The main goals have been in performing a cross-matching analysis of blazar light curves in <i>BVRI</i> bands to detect the short-term variability (STV) and long-term variability (LTV) and to investigate the chromaticity of color parameters. For both objects, fluctuations of brightness up to 1<sup><i>m</i></sup> in 2018–2020 were recorded in the <i>BVRI</i> bands of the Johnson/Bessel system with a total error of 0.03<sup><i>m</i></sup>–0.1<sup><i>m</i></sup>. The intraday variability (IDV) was revealed for BL Lacertae November 17/November 18, 2018. During the calculations of the color indices, the trend of bluish color with an increase in the brightness (bluer-when-brighter, BWB) was found. For BL Lacertae, the LTV was reliably detected by using different pairs of filters. Also, the BWB trend with an average correlation (over 0.5) was recorded for 1ES 1426+428. The presence of such fluctuations in the color of blazars was due to the synchrotron radiation of the jet. The revealed partial correlation of variations in brightness with low time resolution (more than a week) between the photometric optical observations and the data of the Fermi gamma-ray telescope in 2018–2020 require additional research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":681,"journal":{"name":"Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies","volume":"38 6","pages":"328 - 339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4650241","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}
