IOAA 2018, Теория — Задача 5. Sidereal Time
Theoretical Competition · 10 т.
Указания
- The theoretical competition will be 5 hours in duration and is marked out of a total of 300 points.
- There are Answer Sheets for carrying out detailed work/rough work. On each Answer Sheet, please fill in
- Student Code
- Question No.
- Page no. and total number of pages.
- Start each problem on a separate Answer Sheet. Please write only on the printed side of the sheet. Do not use the reverse side. If you have written something on any sheet which you do not want to be marked, cross it out.
- Please remember that the graders may not understand your language. As far as possible, write your solutions only using mathematical expressions and numbers. If it is necessary to explain something in words, please use short phrases (if possible in English).
- You are not allowed to leave your working desk without permission. If you need any assistance (malfunctioning calculator, need to visit a restroom, need more Answer Sheets, etc.), please put up your hand to signal the proctor.
- The beginning and end of the competition will be indicated by a long sound signal. Additionally, there will be a short sound signal fifteen minutes before the end of the competition (before the final long sound signal).
- At the end of the competition you must stop writing immediately. Sort and put your sheets in separate stacks,
- (a) Stack 1: answer sheets of part 1
- (b) Stack 2: answer sheets of part 2
- (c) Stack 3: answer sheets of part 3
- (d) Stack 4: question papers and paper sheets that you do not want to be graded.
- Wait at your table until your envelope is collected. Once all envelopes are collected, your student guide will escort you out of the competition room.
- A list of constants for this competition is given on the next page.

Условие
It is very interesting to observe that on one particular calendar day each year, the mean sidereal time will twice be 00:00:00.
(a) What will be the approximate R.A. of the Sun when this event happens?
(b) Estimate the exact date in 2018 for this event.
You may assume that at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, the mean sidereal time (GMST) was 6.706h at 0h, 1st January, 2018 (JD2458119.5).
Отговори
(a) 18 h
As printed in the official solution (“Approximate R.A. of the Sun is 18h”), although the same sentence places the Sun near the September equinox, where its R.A. is about 12h.
(b) 21 September 2018 (GMST = 00:00:00 at 00:00:48 and again at 23:56:52)
Решение
(1) This can happen if the sidereal time is 00:00:00 just after the midnight and just before the midnight on the same day. It means that the sun should be near the Autumn (September) Equinox. Approximate R.A. of the Sun is 18. (3 points)
(2) At 0, 1 January, 2018 (JD2458119.5), the mean sidereal time GMST was 6.706, i.e. GMST=100.59°. Since one mean solar day is longer than one mean sidereal day with 0.9856º (about 4 minutes), the GMST will increase at next midnight at 2 January, 2018. Therefore, we can first calculate how many days it will take for GMST to reach 360°, i.e.
(3 points)
i.e. after completion of 263 days, the GMST at midnight will be 359.80º.
Thus, GMST will be 00:00:00 on 264 day at 00:00:48 and then again at 23:56:52 on the same day.
(2 points)
The 264 day in the calendar of 2018 is 21 September 2018. (2 points)
