问题 名词解释

状星团

答案

参考答案:

由成千上万颗、甚至几十万颗恒星密集而成的集团,因为呈球对称或接近球型而得名,其半径从10秒差距到75秒差距。银河系中约有五百个球状星团,全天最亮的球状星团为半人马座ω(NGC5139),北半天球最亮的球状星团是M13。球状星团在银河系中呈球状分布,属晕星族。球状星团和银核一样,是银河系中恒星分布最密集的地方,这里恒星分布的平均密度比太阳附近恒星分布的密度约大50倍,中心密度则大到1000倍左右。球状星团以偏心率很大的巨大椭圆轨道绕着银心运转,轨道平面与银盘成较大倾角,周期一般在三亿年上下。球状星团的成员星是银河系中形成最早的一批恒星,年龄大约在一百亿年。在球状星团中发现的变星中主要是天琴座RR变星,其余多半是星族II造父变星,因此一些球状星团的距离可以被较为精确的计算出来。已发现的一些球状星团在银河系的外面,如NGC2419离银心的距离大于大麦哲伦云离银心的距离,处于星际空间。在一些距离我们较近的河外星系中也发现有球状星团。

单项选择题

Many researchers have found greater dependence and obedience in very young girls, greater autonomy and activity in boys. When a barrier is set up to separate children from their mothers, boys try to knock it down; girls cry helplessly. There is little doubt that mother’s encouragement or discouragement—of such behavior plays a major role in determining adult personality. For example, a mother often stimulates male autonomy by throwing a toy far away from her young son, thus silently suggesting to him that he leaves her to get it.
Animal studies suggest that there may be a biological factor in material behavior; mothers of some monkeys punish their male babies earlier and more often than their female offspring; they also touch their female babies more often and act more protectively toward them.
As for the controversial question of female "passivity", psychologist Helen Deutsh believes that the concept has been misunderstood. "There is no contradiction between being feminine and working. The self can be active in both men and women," she says. It is only in love and sex that passivity is particularly appropriate for women. As she sees it, passivity is no more than a king of openness and warmth; it does not mean "inactivity of emptiness".
Another controversy ranges over the effect of hormones. Aggressive women; who discount hormonal influence, disagree violently with scientific researchers, who almost unanimously agree that hormones help determine how people feel and act. So far, there have been few studies of male hormones, but scientists think they may eventually discover hormonal cycles in men that produce cyclic changes in mood and behavior. As for females, studies have indicated that 49 percent of female medical and surgical admissions, most psychiatric hospital admission and 62 percent of violent crimes among women prisoners are related with hormonal cycles in women.
