The observations were aimed at searching for spectral signs of sublimation-driven dust activity in the asteroids and formation of a transient dust exosphere, which are caused by the presence of Н<sub>2</sub>О ice in their interior and the highest subsolar temperature. Based on the analysis of the accuracy and shape of approximated reflectance spectra of the primitive-type asteroids, a set of which was conventionally restricted by the geometric albedo value not exceeding 0.10, we found sublimation-driven dust activity in asteroids 164 Eva, 360 Carlova, and 750 Oskar by distinct short-term variations in the reflectance of these asteroids in the <i>U</i> band. During one of the nights, similar spectral changes and sublimation-driven dust activity related to them were detected in asteroid 629 Bernardina; the geometric albedo of this asteroid is somewhat higher (0.14 or 0.19), which may be indicative of a heterogeneous composition of its material and, apparently, a local outcropping of water ice on its surface. Moreover, in three asteroids of a high-temperature type, 757 Portlandia, 1121 Natascha, and 1687 Glarona, noticeable variations were detected in the entire spectral range; they may be connected with ejection of submicron dust particles from the surface by some other mechanisms. To substantiate and interpret the results of observations, we numerically modeled the reflectance spectra of conditional asteroids of taxonomic types C and S (with low- and high-temperature mineralogy, respectively), which are enveloped by an optically thin dust exosphere containing aggregate or homogeneous submicron particles of different composition. On the basis of this modeling, we introduce a quantitative criterion to identify a weak sublimation-driven dust activity in primitive-type asteroids in the visible range.</p>","PeriodicalId":778,"journal":{"name":"Solar System Research","volume":"58 6","pages":"715 - 731"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142438725","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}

This raises the question of whether these bodies require a more sophisticated approach to specifying the orbital parameters as compared to ordinary asteroids. In this work, we performed a series of improvements in the orbital parameters of active asteroids (6478) Gault and (248370) 2005 QN173/433P both with taking into account nongravitational accelerations (NGAs), which is common for comets, and without this procedure. For time intervals coinciding with the periods of activity of the considered asteroids, we have found statistically significant systematic deviations in the residuals (O–C) between the observed and calculated values in the positional observations of these bodies. Our results show that taking into account the nongravitational acceleration according to the Marsden model does not improve the representation of the observations. We also considered the possibility of the photocenter shift (PS) presence in the positional observations, i.e., the offset between the center-of-light and the center-of-mass. The obtained PS for asteroids (6478) and (248370) are directed away from the Sun with the values of 985 ± 54 and 1145 ± 119 km respectively, which is close to the sizes of the Hill spheres of the bodies.

A dispersion relation is obtained, on the basis of which simplified cases of propagation of low-amplitude disturbance waves and the derivation of modified criteria for hydrodynamic instability are discussed. Using the obtained dispersion relation, three simple cases are treated when the disturbance wave propagates across, along, and obliquely to the magnetic field vector. It is shown that the anisotropy of pressure and heat flow not only changes the classical criterion of the Jeans instability, but also leads to the appearance of new wave modes and causes the appearance of new unstable domains. It has been found that the presence of uniform rotation of the plasma reduces the critical wave number and has a stabilizing effect on the criterion of gravitational instability when the disturbance wave propagates transversely, without having an effect in the case of longitudinal propagation.

Its essence is that an observer, usually located at a distance of 50–100 km from a flying meteor body, sometimes hears sound simultaneously with its radiation. It seems that sound travels at the speed of light. Historically, the situation was such that it was only no more than sixty years ago that attempts to instrumentally study this unusual phenomenon began. The difficulty of these searches is also due to the fact that only a few percent of the total number of observed meteoroids have this property. About forty years ago it was discovered that meteoroids can emit electromagnetic pulses of varying duration and frequency composition. However, it turned out that this fact does not always have an unambiguous relationship to electrophonic phenomena.
