摘要:

在本研究中,我们通过使用128个球形单体的弹道粒子-团簇聚集体和弹道粒子-团簇聚集体的模拟,研究了百武彗星在波长$λ=0.365μm$、$λ=0.485μm$和0.684 $μm$处观测到的线偏振数据。我们首先研究了单体的尺寸参数,$x$ $\sim$ 1.56 - 1.70,结果证明是最合适的,这提供了在三个波长$λ= 0.365$ $μm$,0.485 $μm$和0.684 $μm$处观察到的尘埃散射性质的最佳拟合。因此,聚集体的有效半径(r)位于$0.45 μm \le r \le 0.49 μm$在$λ= 0.365$ $μm$处; $ 0.60 μm \le r \le 0.66 μm$在$λ= 0.485$ $μm$处和$0.88 μm \le r \le 0.94 μm$在$λ= 0.684$ $μm$处的范围内。利用叠加\textsc{t-matrix}程序和幂律尺寸分布$n(r) \sim r^{-3}$,计算了在上述三个波长下与偏振观测数据拟合最好的复折射率的最佳拟合值。发现最佳拟合的复折射率$(n,k)$在$λ= 0.365 $ $μm$处为(1.745,0.095),在$λ= 0.485 $ $μm$处为(1.743,0.100),在$λ= 0.684$ $μm$处为(1.695,0.100)。从目前的分析出来的折射率对应于硅酸盐和有机物的混合物,这是在良好的协议与\textit{in situ}测量彗星的不同航天器。

英文摘要:

In our present study, the observed linear polarization data of comet Hyakutake are studied at wavelengths $λ=0.365μm$, $λ=0.485μm$ and 0.684$μm$ through simulations using Ballistic Particle-Cluster Aggregate and Ballistic Cluster-Cluster Aggregate aggregates of 128 spherical monomers. We first investigated that the size parameter of the monomer, $x$ $\sim$ 1.56 -- 1.70, turned out to be most suitable which provides the best fits to the observed dust scattering properties at three wavelengths $λ= 0.365$$μm$, 0.485$μm$ and 0.684$μm$. Thus the effective radius of the aggregate (r) lies in the range $0.45 μm \le r \le 0.49 μm$ at $λ= 0.365$$μm$; $ 0.60 μm \le r \le 0.66 μm$ at $λ= 0.485$$μm$ and $0.88 μm \le r \le 0.94 μm$ at $λ= 0.684$$μm$. Now using superposition \textsc{t-matrix} code and the power-law size distribution, $n(r) \sim r^{-3}$, the best-fitting values of complex refractive indices are calculated which can best fit the observed polarization data at the above three wavelengths. The best-fitting complex refractive indices $(n,k)$ are found to be (1.745, 0.095) at $λ= 0.365 $ $μm$, (1.743, 0.100) at $λ= 0.485 $ $μm$ and (1.695, 0.100) at $λ= 0.684$ $μm$. The refractive indices coming out from the present analysis correspond to mixture of both silicates and organics, which are in good agreement with the \textit{in situ} measurement of comets by different spacecraft.
