Intensity of Cosmic Rays at the Initial Stage of a Solar Flare
Аннотация
The propagation of solar cosmic rays in the interplanetary space is analyzed by solving the Fokker–Planck equation in the small-angle approximation. The particle source is assumed to be instantaneous and point-like. The spatiotemporal distribution of density of energetic particles in the anisotropic phase of a solar cosmic-ray enhancement is examined. Prolonged particle injection into the interplanetary medium is also discussed.

Structure of the Long-Living Elements of Solar Granulation
Аннотация
Spatial and temporal variations in thermodynamic and kinematic parameters of structural elements of solar granulation are investigated by solving the inverse nonequilibrium radiative transfer problem using the observational data from the Vacuum Tower Telescope (duration of observations 2.6 h). In the lower photosphere, we have detected long-living (with lifetime up to 1.5 h) structures—trees of fragmenting granules. They occur as a result of the division of an ascending granular flow into several fragments, which can be repeated multiple times. We have found that approximately 67% of the regions with the highest positive variations of pressure correspond to the time and place of fragmentation of granular flows; approximately 12% of the regions correspond to the approach of adjacent structures.

Dynamics and Physics of Bodies of the Solar System
Generation of the Stressed State of the Lithosphere of the Earth and Mars Caused by the Reorientation of Their Figures
Аннотация
The computer simulation of the reorientation of the Earth and Mars lithosphere figure has been performed, which due to the dynamic redistribution of masses, allowed to reveal certain regularities of the structure-forming processes. It has been shown that the shape of the lithosphere surface has a different orientation relatively to the geoids’ (aroids) figure. This causes redistribution of masses leading to a strained state of the lithosphere as a result of endogenous and gravitational-rotational forces action in the evolutionary processes of planet’s self-development. The solution of this problem is considered on the example of lithosphere surface heights approximation by a biaxial ellipsoid with seven parameters. The acting horizontal forces in the upper shell of the planet has been calculated, introducing the concept of “evolutionary deviation of the plumb” and assuming that the tangential forces are proportional to the angle, which is defined as the angle between the direction of the plumb line in the past geological epoch and the plumb line direction at a given point. The calculated fields of tangential force vectors show good consistency with the direction of space-time displacement of Earth’s continents and tectonic plates and consistent with the results of the horizontal movements of GNSS stations. This is quite convincing evidence that under the long-term action of vortex rotationalgravitational forces, the lithospheres masses acquire the properties of creep. All this leads to the fact that interacting blocks and plates within the vortex rotational-gravitational model can be interconnected to elastic fields that creates a single planetary geodynamic field that forms the evolutionary state of the geo-environment.

On Determining the Vertical Structure of the Aerosol Component in the Atmosphere of Saturn
Аннотация
Relying upon the values of the geometric albedo of Saturn obtained in the methane absorption bands at λ = 887, 864, 842, 727, and 619 nm in 1993, how the aerosol and gaseous scattering components of the effective optical depth change with depth in the atmosphere of the planet are analyzed. The model of homogeneous spherical aerosol particles is used. For the altitude levels in the pressure range from 0.18 to 1.5 bar, that the parameters of aerosol particles used in the analysis are close to their actual values is confirmed. Above the level of 0.054 bar, the presence of stratospheric aerosol was detected. At least seven peculiarities were found in the vertical structure of the cloud cover of the upper atmosphere of Saturn. The altitude position of the maximum relative concentration of aerosol was estimated at approximately a level of 0.3 or 0.12 bar given the relative concentration of methane as 0.0021 or 0.0533, respectively. In the atmospheric layers of Saturn, where the pressure is larger than 0.44 bar, the cloud extended in altitude and containing no distinguishable aerosol layers was found. In the layers deeper than 1.5 bar, indications of probable changes in the parameters of aerosol particles were detected.
