S01130-58-6-16/45 Investigations on the, Zodiacal Light. Provisional Results Obtained by the Observations of the Soviet Expedition in Egypt of the diurnal firmament can attain up to 70 %. After termina- tion of the expeditionary works, the Soviet Delegation has arranged with the Observatory of Kheluan (2o kilometers from Cairo) that their astronomers continue these observations. For this purpose they left them the electrophotometer which will be set up in the village Fayunv 7o kilometers from Cairo. The Soviet scientistsdelivered lectures in the Kheluan, Observatory. The staff of the observatory consists of 8 astronomers and 5 seismologists, meteorologists and others. A course of lectures on the work of the Soviet De- legation in Egypt was delivered at the Cairo University. 1. Zodiacal light--Anaiy~is 2. AstronoNrj 3.

Aocdrding to Blackirell Ref 1] there exists no definite relation between the extin- --- ~or a punctiform source according to Bouguer and the extinction for an object so extended as the zodiaoal light. The author investigates this question and obtains the following results. The ecliptic and the axis of the.zodiacal light are assumed to be oriented nor- mally to the horizon.

He shows that .the polarization caused by free electrons is equal to at most 43%9 6C~o or 67%, depending on the electron concentration as a function of the distance from the sun. The observed polari- zation of zodiacal light is at most 20-25%. This value can be well explained by the polarization caused by dust particles which is a very sensible one according to theoretical con- clusions based on the theory of Mie. This fact has been con- firmed by obser-ations of.a tmospherical aerosoles, dust tails of comets eto.Ye.V.Pyaskovskaya-Fecenkova CRef 12,13tL57has carried out detailed observations in the dry Egyptian desert which permit to calculate the fraction caused by atmospheric aerosoles, From these caloulatiorsit oan be deduced that the Card 1/2 polarization of zodiacal light composod of dust particles is On the Polarization of Zodiacal Light SOV/33-35-4-1/25 approximately equal to 27%.

Interstellar space is filled with gas and dust mixed together, forming clouds and divided by spaces almo Bt void. Interstellar space is subject to the action of gravitational forces and of the magnetic field, along the lines of force of which move electrons and ions. Hydrogen and other gases in space are in a state of ionization under the ac- tion of the radiation of a "hot" star within 100 parseas of this st4r. As the ray-emission of such stars is variable,'so is the volume of the ionizel region. These changes are connected with a sharp Card 1/3 change of temperature conditions in space and cause BOV/26-59-2-2/53 New Trends-in the Study of Interetellarand Inte.rplanetary-Space the motion-of the-substance and change its.density.

V.A. - Ambart- :sumyan-and D.A.:,Rozhkovski.,y theorize~that stars are continually~being formed.from certain parts of ne- bulositiespo-and-especially from their dark-parts. The author comes-to~the conclusions that conditions in interplanetary space are-quite different from ~those.izvlthe-ihterstellar space. The large planets Jupiter and:Baturniare composed mainly of light gases hydrogen and helium, and such an accumulation in interstellar space would be impossible. These planets represent'the remains of primary planetary :condensations.- The:whole Solar system was in the very remote pa'st,"formed.mider interstellar con- ditions, but these conditions (nebulas and gas) evolved and disappeared long ago. The property of interplanetary spacet which diffuses the light, is clearly expressed in the occurrence of the zodiacal Card 2/3 light.

In addition to.this, temperature conditions of the ice C:overing,.ln particular its, heat,conductivity, and density in accumulation and thawing areas.were registered and samples for a detailed textural and s~tructural investigation taken. The samples proved that the crystal axis direction can be put. into a close connection to the direction in which a glacier moves, with basis planes serving as sliding Card 3/ 9 planes. The thermophynicists of the Geographical Sector 67176 SOV/31-59-6-5/18 Some Research Results According to the Program of the International Geophysical Year 'have been-determining temperature conditions within the, n glaciers. For this purpose, holes of up to 25 m i depth (a hole was even as.deep as rZ m) were drilled which.showed that sub-ilacial thawing not only occurs in summer, butin winter as well. Very interesting were seismicsoundingB to measure ice thickness. They showed that at a dis .tance of 2.5 lai from~ the glacier's end the ice was i114.m thick, whereas at a distance of ,190 m, it was only 40 m thick. The! Geographical Sector was the first organization to use electrometrical re- search in the USSR. Thus, measurements of specific electric resistance were made along with the sounding of the glac ierst thickness. The movement of ice within the,glaoier's mass was also determined. The latter measurement said'that tho ice moves 13-15:cm slower at a depth of 25 m than at its surface.

It is equipped with,ptandard-type instruments, i.e., with a NAFA 30A5~ 8'Ytype camera with a typing chronograph and,othe.r.units able torecord coordinates with a precision degree of about 6" of the,aro. Since this i3amera is comparatively small-sized, it can only record satellite passages Card V 9 during periods of their relative brightness. Thus, the 67176 SOV/31i-59-6-5/18 Some Research Results According to the Program of the International Geophysical Year above camera makes no recordings of the Soviet satellite Nr 3 which is the most dista n amang the artificial satellites. A high-capacit.1eniscus teleBOOP located at the,above institutets observatory has a much higher precision degree. It is e,quipped with ingenious devices developed by D.A. RozhkovskiZ at the observatory's work- shop and can make recordings correct' 'to a maximum of 0.001 see and 111 of the arc-of coordinate which is the highest precision standard to,make recordings of"satel- lite passages in the USSR and probably the world over. A*V. Kharitonov and V.Se Matyaginy coworkers of the above institute, have participated in the development-of this unit and also made the most photos. Every day, a ,special coroinagraph of the Corona Station, able to mark out the inner corona, goes around the entire solar diec and registers the lines of coronal emission at the height of 40" from the dise edge.

In other words, the intensity expres- sed in.millionths of the brightnens of the solar disc's center, is characterized by the tomperature, electronic densityp and concentration of corresponding atoms on the ,sun, i.e., by the physical'oondition of the solar disc at the moXent,givens During-the International Geophysical Year, some,20*000 values of equivalent widths of coronal ,lines and.more than 40,000 ph.9tos of the chromosphere .,Nithin the red line.of hydrogen were made.

The luminiscence,of the long-wave Pection of the nocturnal sky was subject to regular recording from as early as, December 1957- Apart from the ordinary emission lines caused by undue ohangeovers,of atomic oxygen 5577t 63001 and 6364, and the yellow line 5893 (so-dium)l a multitude ofoscillatory strips of the molecule of hydroxyl Off was also identified. The rotary structure of these strips can be easily recognized by an SP-48-type speotrograph used for..this purpose. The observatory also investigated the earth's capacity to reflect.sunlight - the earth's albedo. During a period of 9 m Ionths, 38 series.of albedo ob'serva- tions were carried out by Dzhasybekova and Kharitonov, which showed.that the earth reflects about 40% of the sun- ligliLt received. The Astrophysical Institute of the KazSSR Card 8/9 developed into aninstitutionspecializing in the 67176 SOV/31-59-6-5/18 Some.Research.Results According to the Program of the International Gleophysical Year In addition:to this investigation of zodiacal light. it disoovered.a similar phenomenon, the so-called mock zodiacal light, through its expedition sent to the Balkhash Lake and the mountainous regions of the Kazakhstan. An additional expedition has been dispatched to Egypt into the southern part of the Liby -an-desert. Its task_ was aleg the study of zodiacal light and that of the optical 2roperties of the earth atmosphere. In this con- nection, Ye.V. Pyaskovskaya-Fesenkova was the first to point out that cosmic aero_s_oI_s7_s_e7FW_ee by the earth atmosphere can cause considerable polarization a phenomenon which could not be yet explained.
