(2017)采用了 2.5 维 MHD 数值斱法,研 廓发化,深入探认了诠谱线轮廓不耀斑加速离子能谱、成分, 究了刜始拱状线性无力场在底部叐沿磁中性线缓慢汇聚运 以及耀斑収生位置癿发化关系,収展了一套以谱线轮廓分枂 劢情冡下,寻致产生 CME 癿磁绳形成和演化过秳。汇聚运 来推求耀斑加速离子特性癿斱法。相比过去癿全能谱拟合斱 劢使磁场枀性反转,在磁绳中形成磁重联,当収展到一定地 法,谱线轮廓斱法叐拟合模型癿影响轳小,幵丏具有拟合自 步,出现 CME 爆収。诠研究阐明,汇聚运劢是磁绳产生幵 由度低、响应快速癿优点,是一套更为直接和直观癿伽马射 触収 CME 癿一个可能癿机制。此外,还研究了磁绳不日珥 线能谱分枂斱法。Firoz et al.(2017)诡绅研究了一个 M 级 在热劢力孥、磁场和力孥平衡等斱面癿性质,特别是诠研究 耀斑癿 RHESSI 观测结果,集中耂察 6-12keV 和 12-18keV 展示了磁绳仍刜始相到加速相癿诡绅演化过秳,仍中突显出 収射源在耀斑后相癿演化,収现无讳在空间位置还是在上升 磁 重 联 癿 作 用 。 Lu et al. (2017) 首 次 利 用 单 规 角 卣 星 速度上均有差建,平均强度不収射体积乊间存在幂徂关系, SOHO/LASCO C2 观测迚行对地晕状 CME 三维结极癿重 虽然幂徂挃数有所丌同,但不理讳模型预测癿接近,说明日 极。诠重极斱法结合了白先日冕 Thomson 散射癿偏振特性, 冕源基本处二绛热膨胀状态。Li et al. (2017)对一个非典型 去陋了所研究晕状 CME 中癿非相关结极,基二偏振度测量 X 形状耀斑癿磁重联和色球蒸収过秳迚行了先谱诊断。収现 给出了每一像素癿规向距离。耂虑到对地晕状 CME 中徉通 Si IV 谱线(形成二过渡匙)在分界线附近出现两翼增宽, 常由二遮先板癿原因无法迚行偏振法重极,为了弥补这一部 速度辫 200 km/s,可用磁重联(収生在过渡匙)产生癿双向 分俆息损夭,我仧对遮先板外癿 CME 三维偏振重极结果迚 流来解释。耀斑通常是在日冕収生磁重联释放能量,重联癿 行了 GCS 三维磁通量绳形状癿模拟,仍耄获径三维 CME 先谱证据也多来自高温谱线,丏多是探测到向下癿出流,卦 癿完整结极。诠斱法可为分枂 ASO-S 上癿 LST 白先日冕仦 红秱。耄在此奇建癿 X 形耀斑中,磁重联可収生在轳低癿位 数据 提供借鉴 ,下一步工 作是通过 不 LST 规场接 近癿 置:仍日冕沿分界线向下到过渡匙甚至高色球层。我仧则探 STEREO/COR1 大量 CME 偏振测量数据癿应用测试,来迚 测到了収生在过渡匙癿磁重联产生癿双向流。此外还収现在 行自劢化癿完善。 耀斑趍点处 Si IV 谱线呈现整体红秱,同时高温 Fe XXI 谱线 出现蓝秱,符合色球蒸収/压缩模型。实际上,以彽収现 Si IV 谱线在趍点处多呈现红丌对称,主要表现为一个静止分量叠 加一个红秱分量,耄我仧则収现了 Si IV 癿整体红秱,这可 能不耀斑加热过秳,如热还是非热成分有关,这也值径迚一 步通过数值模拟来研究。Su et al. (2017,往収表)完成了 DEM(等离子体癿徆分収射度)计算癿改迚工作,结果癿 准确度比现有斱法提高了两个数量级,由此估计出癿 X 射线 2 缓发性太阳能量粒子亊件(SEP)通常是 CME 驱劢激 波加速癿,耄激波通常不事型射电暴密切相关。Prakash et al. (2017)研究了 m-to-DH(米波到百米波段)事型暴相关 癿 1997 至 2012 年间癿太阳爆収亊件,寺找了能否产生缓 发 SEP 癿观测特彾。収现有缓发 SEP 癿亊件 CME 具有更高 速度、更大减速度;有缓发 SEP 癿亊件耀斑峰值能量更高、 但是耀斑持续时间接近;有缓发 SEP 癿亊件癿射电事型暴 形成高度更低。这互统计特性为 SEP 预报提供了线索。 Annual Research Report’2017 小尺度短时标爆収亊件是研究轳少癿一类爆収亊件。Ying 本年度我仧通过収表科孥讳文,陋了前面所述癿亮点成 et al. (2017, 已投稿)所研究癿这个 CME 和激波亊件伴随 果,我仧还在以下几个斱面叏径了迚展: 1)首次报道日冕 有一个 M 级耀斑,源匙位二活劢匙辪缘仅 25*50arcsec^2 喷流触収癿同时存在癿横向和纵向日珥振荡。2)暗条纵向 大小。虽然尺度征小,但是利用 SDO/AIA 癿数据,我仧収 振荡期间有物质泄漏,耄丏泄漏前后丌同地斱振荡周期和幅 现 CME 癿速度和加速度等运劢孥特彾均超出了乊前统计结 度都有明显癿发化,卦暗条南部振荡幅度兇增加后衰减,耄 果癿最大值,利用 II 型暴癿劢态频谱图収现诠 CME 驱劢癿 暗条北部振荡幅度兇减小后增加。通过引入暗条纤维-纤维 激波形成高度建常癿低,激波马赫数征高。诠小尺度爆収不 相于作用,我仧提出了一个模型来解释复杂癿暗条振荡行为。 James Chen 预测到癿磁通量绳趍点分离距离越小,CME 3)在耀斑脉冟相前 90 多分钟,磁绳两个趍点附近就出现 加速越快相一致。小尺度短时标爆収亊件陋了上述癿特殊乊 了窄癿日冕暗化现象,面积随时间缓慢增加,亮度随时间逐 处,和大尺度亊件也有相似乊处,其耀斑和 CME 间癿能量 渐减弱,在 171,193,211 埃等枀紫外波段最明显。这种 分配大小尺度亊件都基本相等。这是首次对小尺度短时标爆 耀斑前日冕暗化被解释为在磁绳缓慢上升阶段,磁绳外层冕 収亊件癿耀斑、CME 和激波迚行癿系统研究。 环系统逐渐膨胀引起癿密度陈低引起癿亮度减弱。 4)诡绅 4、太阳磁场相关研究 研究了耀斑环中癿多普勒速度振荡现象,首次在高温(log T ≈ 7.05)谱线(Fe XXI 1354.09 Å)上収现了周期大约为 Zhao et al. (2017)重点研究了浮现匙中小尺度癿磁场 3.1 分钟癿 kink 振荡。根据 kink 振荡癿模型,我仧估算出 结极不浮现匙域养部癿增亮乊间癿关系,具体包拪对 11850 耀斑环中癿磁场强度大约为 68 高斯。5) 使用 Fermi/GBM 活劢匙和 12585 活劢匙癿研究,我仧重点关注浮现匙低层大 癿观测数据,我仧首次収现短周期癿 QPPs 主要出现在能量 气癿增亮,耄诠匙域癿磁场特性无法用无力场来描述,我仧 低癿 X 射线能段,耄丏出现在耀斑脉冟相癿廹始阶段,长周 因此选择有力场外推癿斱法来迚行研究,这也是首次将有力 期癿 QPPs 则出现在能量高癿 X 射线能段,主要存在在二耀 场外推斱法应用二局部增亮癿研究。我仧癿研究収现丌同癿 斑脉冟相癿后期阶段。6) 使用 RHESSI 癿观测数据,我仧 磁场位型下等离子体具有丌同癿加热敁应;外推癿结果征好

The BGO electromagnetic calorimeter is one of the key sub detectors of DAMPE for energy measurement of electromagnetic showers produced by e(+/-)/gamma. Due to energy loss in dead material and energy leakage outside the calorimeter, the deposited energy in BGO underestimates the primary energy of incident e(+/-)/gamma In this paper, based on detailed MC simulations, a parameterized energy correction method using the lateral and longitudinal information of electromagnetic showers has been studied and verified with data of electron beam test at CERN. The measurements of energy linearity and resolution are significant improved by applying this correction method for electromagnetic showers. 第 2 条,共 286 条 Revealing Physical Activity of GRB Central Engine with Macronova/Kilonova Data Shen, ZQ (Shen, Zhao-Qiang); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Liang, YF (Liang, Yun-Feng); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: L22 The modeling of Li-Paczynski macronova/kilonova signals gives a reasonable estimate on the neutron-rich material ejected during the neutron star mergers. Usually the accretion disk is more massive than the macronova ejecta, with which the efficiencies of converting the disk mass into prompt emission of three merger-driven GRBs can hence be directly constrained. Supposing the macronovae/kilonovae associated with GRB 050709, GRB 060614, and GRB 130603B arose from radioactive decay of the r-process material, the upper limit on energy conversion efficiencies are found to be as low as similar to 10(-6) -10(-4). Moreover, for all three events, neutrino annihilation is likely powerful enough to account for the brief gamma-ray flashes. Neutrino annihilation can also explain the "extended" emission lasting similar to 100 s in GRB 050709, but does not work for the one in GRB 060614. These progresses demonstrate that the macronova can serve as a novel probe of the central engine activity. 第 3 条,共 286 条 GRB 111005A at z=0.0133 and the Prospect of Establishing Long-Short GRB/GW Association Wang, YZ (Wang, Yuan-Zhu); Huang, YJ (Huang, Yong-Jia); Liang, YF (Liang, Yun-Feng); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Zhang, FW (Zhang, Fu-Wen); Zou, YC (Zou, Yuan-Chuan); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 851 期: 1 文献号: L20 GRB 111005A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) that occurred within a metal-rich environment that lacks massive stars with MZAMS >= 15M(circle dot), is not coincident with supernova emission down to a stringent limit and thus should be classified as a "long-short" GRB (lsGRB; also known as an SN-less long GRB or hybrid GRB), like GRB 060505 and GRB 060614. In this work, we show that in the neutron star merger model the non-detection of the optical/infrared emission of GRB 111005A requires sub-relativistic neutron-rich ejecta with a mass of <= 0.01 M-circle dot, which is (significantly) less massive than that of GRB 130603B, GRB 060614, GRB 050709, and GRB 170817A. The lsGRBs are found to have a high rate density and the neutron star merger origin model can be unambiguously tested by the joint observations of the second-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and the full-sky gamma-ray monitors such as Fermi-GBM and the proposed GECAM. If no lsGRB/GW association is observed in the 2020s, alternative scenarios have to be systematically investigated. With the detailed environmental information achievable for the nearby events, a novel kind of merger or explosion origin may be identified. 第 4 条,共 286 条 Multi-messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger Abbott, BP (Abbott, B.

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) with a time delay of similar to 1.7 s with respect to the merger time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg(2) at a luminosity distance of 40(-8)(+8) Mpc and with component masses consistent with neutron stars. The component masses were later measured to be in the range 0.86 to 2.26 M-circle dot. An extensive observing campaign was launched across the electromagnetic spectrum leading to the discovery of a bright optical transient (SSS17a, now with the IAU identification of AT 2017gfo) in NGC 4993 (at similar to 40 Mpc) less than 11 hours after the merger by the One-Meter, Two Hemisphere (1M2H) team using the 1 m Swope Telescope. The optical transient was independently detected by multiple teams within an hour. Subsequent observations targeted the object and its environment. Early ultraviolet observations revealed a blue transient that faded within 48 hours. Optical and infrared observations showed a redward evolution over similar to 10 days. Following early non-detections, X-ray and radio emission were discovered at the transient's position similar to 9 and similar to 16 days, respectively, after the merger. Both the X-ray and radio emission likely arise from a physical process that is distinct from the one that generates the UV/optical/near-infrared emission. No ultra-high-energy gamma-rays and no neutrino candidates consistent with the source were found in follow-up searches. These observations support the hypothesis that GW170817 was produced by the merger of two neutron stars in NGC4993 followed by a short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova/macronova powered by the radioactive decay of r-process nuclei synthesized in the ejecta. 第 5 条,共 286 条 The GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT 2017gfo Association: Some Implications for Physics and Astrophysics Wang, H (Wang, Hao); Zhang, FW (Zhang, Fu-Wen); Wang, YZ (Wang, Yuan-Zhu); Shen, ZQ (Shen, Zhao-Qiang); Liang, YF (Liang, Yun-Feng); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Liao, NH (Liao, Neng-Hui); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Yuan, Q (Yuan, Qiang); Zou, YC (Zou, Yuan-Chuan); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 851 期: 1 文献号: L18 On 2017 August 17, a gravitational-wave event (GW170817) and an associated short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) from a binary neutron star merger had been detected. The follow-up optical/infrared observations also identified the macronova/kilonova emission (AT 2017gfo). In this work, we discuss some implications of the remarkable GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT 2017gfo association. We show that the similar to 1.7 s time delay between the gravitational-wave (GW) and GRB signals imposes very tight constraints on the superluminal movement of gravitational waves (i.e., the relative departure of GW velocity from the speed of light is. <= 4.3 x 10(-16)) or the possible violation of the weak equivalence principle (i.e., the difference of the gamma-ray and GW trajectories in the gravitational field of the galaxy and the local universe should be within a factor of similar to 3.4 x 10(-9)). The so-called Dark Matter Emulators and a class of contender models for cosmic acceleration ("Covariant Galileon") are ruled out as well. The successful identification of lanthanide elements in the macronova/kilonova spectrum also excludes the possibility that the progenitors of GRB 170817A are a binary strange star system. The high neutron star merger rate (inferred from both the local sGRB data and the gravitational-wave data) together with the significant ejected mass strongly suggest that such mergers are the prime sites of heavy r-process nucleosynthesis. 1-02 High-energy Solar physics 第 6 条,共 286 条 Shapes of Ne-20 de-excitation line in solar flare Chen, W (Chen, Wei); Gan, WQ (Gan, Wei Qun) ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 9 文献号: 150 Since almost all de-excitation lines from nuclear states excited by flare-accelerated protons and a-particles are emitted promptly after nuclear collisions, the emission photon's energy depends on the velocity of the recoiling nucleus. The energies and widths of gamma-ray lines provide a wealth of information on the directionality and spectra of ions in solar flares. In this paper, we use TALYS code to improve the cross sections of gamma-ray lines production, and calculate the shapes of the 1.634 MeV line from de-excitation of Ne-20 as a function of ion's energy spectra and the heliocentric angle. Taking this line shape as an example, we try to develop a new method of line shape analysis to study the properties of accelerated ions in solar flares. 第 7 条,共 286 条 The Confined X-class Flares of Solar Active Region 2192 (vol 801, L23, 2015) Thalmann, JK (Thalmann, J.

ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 6 文献号: 113 We study brightness, volume and heights of the X-ray thermal emission components for an M-class solar flare on 17 May 2012. Based on the RHESSI data availability, we present the results for 01:42-01:58 UT over the lateflare phase. It is observed that the spatial evolution of the thermal emission components 6-12 and 12-18 keV are well associated with the hottest plasma in the corona. Results show that the ascending height (similar to 1.35x10(4) km) and speed (similar to 14.0 kms(-1)) of coronal source component 6-12 keV is slightly smaller than the ascending height (similar to 1.45x10(4) km) and speed (similar to 15.1 kms(-1)) of the coronal source component 12-18 keV. Mean flux intensity (I-mean) of the 6-12 keV maintained a good fit (chi(2) = 0.41) with the corresponding volume (V) following strongly the power law [I-mean = (15.8 +/- 0.21) V-1.28 +/- 0.03]. In contrast, the 12-18 keV maintained a weak fit (chi(2) = 2.37) following still the power law [I-mean = (0.19 +/- 0.01) V-1.88 +/- 0.16].

We observe a number of plasma flows at extreme-ultraviolet temperatures during the early phase of the flare (as early as 15 minutes before the onset) propagating toward the formation site of the secondary ribbons. The secondary ribbon formation is co-temporal with the arrival of the pre-flare generated plasma flows. The primary ribbons are co-spatial with Ramaty High Energy Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) hard X-ray sources, whereas no enhanced X-ray emission is detected at the secondary ribbon sites. The (E)UV emission, associated with the secondary ribbons, peaks similar to 1 minute after the last RHESSI hard X-ray enhancement. A nonlinear force-free model of the coronal magnetic field reveals that the secondary flare ribbons are not directly connected to the primary ribbons, but to regions nearby. Detailed analysis suggests that the secondary brightenings are produced due to dissipation of kinetic energy of the plasma flows (heating due to compression), and not due to non-thermal particles accelerated by magnetic reconnection, as is the case for the primary ribbons. 第 10 条,共 286 条 Formation and Initiation of Erupting Flux Rope and Embedded Filament Driven by Photospheric Converging Motion Zhao, XZ (Zhao, Xiaozhou); Xia, C (Xia, Chun); Keppens, R 42 (Keppens, Rony); Gan, WQ (Gan, Weiqun) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 841 期: 2 文献号: 106 In this paper, we study how a flux rope (FR) is formed and evolves into the corresponding structure of a coronal mass ejection (CME) numerically driven by photospheric converging motion. A two-and-a-half-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulation is conducted in a chromosphere-transition-corona setup. The initial arcade-like linear force-free magnetic field is driven by an imposed slow motion converging toward the magnetic inversion line at the bottom boundary. The convergence brings opposite-polarity magnetic flux to the polarity inversion, giving rise to the formation of an FR by magnetic reconnection and eventually to the eruption of a CME. During the FR formation, an embedded prominence gets formed by the levitation of chromospheric material. We confirm that the converging flow is a potential mechanism for the formation of FRs and a possible triggering mechanism for CMEs. We investigate the thermal, dynamical, and magnetic properties of the FR and its embedded prominence by tracking their thermal evolution, analyzing their force balance, and measuring their kinematic quantities. The phase transition from the initiation phase to the acceleration phase of the kinematic evolution of the FR was observed in our simulation. The FR undergoes a series of quasi-static equilibrium states in the initiation phase; while in the acceleration phase the FR is driven by Lorentz force and the impulsive acceleration occurs. The underlying physical reason for the phase transition is the change of the reconnection mechanism from the Sweet-Parker to the unsteady bursty regime of reconnection in the evolving current sheet underneath the FR. 第 11 条,共 286 条 Search for the gamma-ray emission from M33 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope Fu, L (Fu, L.); Xia, ZQ (Xia, Z. Q.); Shen, ZQ (Shen, Z. Q.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 471 期: 2 页: 1737-1742 We searched for the gamma-ray signal from M33, one of the largest galaxies in the Local Group, using the Pass8 data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). No statistically significant gamma-ray emission has been detected in the direction of M33, and we report a new upper limit of the high-energy (>100 MeV) photon flux of 2.3 x 10(-9) ph cm(-2) s(-1), which is stricter than previous constraints and implies a cosmic ray density for M33 that is lower than that suggested previously. The current limit is still, however, in agreement with the correlation of star formation rate and gamma-ray luminosity inferred from the Local group galaxies and a few nearby starburst galaxies. 第 12 条,共 286 条 Molecular Gas toward the Gemini OB1 Molecular Cloud Complex.

The 9 degrees x 6 degrees.5 area was mapped in (CO)-C-12, (CO)-C-13, and (CO)-O-18 with similar to 50" angular resolution at 30" sampling. The region was divided into four main components based on spatial distribution and velocity: the Gemini OB1 Giant Molecular Cloud (GGMC) Complex, the Lynds Dark Clouds and the West Front Clouds, the Swallow and Horn, and Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 the Remote Clouds. The GGMC Complex is located in the Perseus arm, while the Lynds Dark Clouds and the West Front Clouds are located in the Local arm. Swallow and Horn are revealed for the first time in this paper. The two clouds have a similar velocity interval ([11, 21] km s(-1)) and have similar sizes (0.6 and 0.8 deg(2)). We analyzed the structure of these clouds in detail and calculated their parameters (mass, temperature, etc.). Two elongated structures were discovered in a longitude-velocity map in the velocity interval [11, 30] km s(-1). We also found an interesting filament that shows a 0.8 km s(-1) pc(-1) gradient perpendicular to the direction of the long axis. 第 13 条,共 286 条 The Molecular Structures of the Local Arm and Perseus Arm in the Galactic Region of l = [139 degrees.75, 149 degrees.75], b = [-5 degrees.25, 5 degrees.25] Du, XY (Du, Xinyu); Xu, Y (Xu, Ye); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Sun, Y (Sun, Yan) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT SERIES 卷: 229 期: 2 文献号: 24 Using the Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha (PMODLH) 13.7m telescope, we report a 96 deg(2) (CO)-C-12/(CO)-C-13/(CO)-O-18 mapping observation toward the Galactic region of l = [139 degrees. 75,149 degrees. 75], b = [-5 degrees. 25, 5 degrees. 25]. The molecular structures of the Local Arm and Perseus Arm are presented. Combining H I data and part of the Outer Arm results, we obtain that the warp structure of both atomic and molecular gas is obvious, while the flare structure only exists in atomic gas in this observing region. In addition, five filamentary giant molecular clouds on the Perseus Arm are identified. Among them, four are newly identified. Their relations with the Milky Way large-scale structure are discussed. 第 14 条,共 286 条 Characteristics of events with metric-to-decahectometric type II radio bursts associated with CMEs and flares in relation to SEP events Prakash, O (Prakash, O.); Feng, L (Feng, Li); Michalek, G (Michalek, G.); Gan, WQ (Gan, Weiqun); Lu, L (Lu, Lei); Shanmugaraju, A (Shanmugaraju, A.); Umapathy, S (Umapathy, S.) ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 3 文献号: 56 A gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) event is thought to happen when particles are accelerated at a shock due to a fast coronal mass ejection (CME). To quantify what kind of solar eruptions can result in such SEP events, we have conducted detailed investigations on the characteristics of CMEs, solar flares and metric-to-decahectometric wavelength type II radio bursts (herein after m-to-DH type II bursts) for SEP-associated and non-SEP-associated events, observed during the period of 1997-2012. Interestingly, 65% of m-to-DH type II bursts associated with CMEs and flares produced SEP events. The SEP-associated CMEs have higher sky-plane mean speed, projection corrected speed, and sky-plane peak speed than those of non-SEP-associated CMEs respectively by 30%, 39%, and 25%, even though the two sets of CMEs achieved their sky-plane peak speeds at nearly similar heights within LASCO field of view. We found Pearson's correlation coefficients between the speeds of CMEs (sky-plane speed and corrected speed) and logarithmic peak intensity of SEP events are cc = 0.62 and cc = 0.58, respectively. We also found that the SEPassociated CMEs are on average of three times more decelerated (-21.52 ms(-2)) than the non-SEP-associated CMEs (-5.63 ms(-2)). The SEP-associated flares have a mean peak flux (1.85 x 10(-4) Wm(-2)) three times larger than that of non-SEP-associated flares, even though the flare duration (rise time) of both sets of events is similar. The SEPassociated m type II bursts have higher frequency drift rate and associated shock speed than those of the non-SEPassociated events by 70% and 25% respectively. The average formation heights of m and DH type II radio bursts for SEP-associated events (1.31 R-o and 3.54 R-o, respectively) are lower than for non-SEP-associated events (1.61 R-o and 3.91 R-o, respectively). 93% of SEP-associated events originate from the western hemisphere and 65% of SEPassociated events are associated with interacting CMEs. The obtained results indicate that, at least for the set of CMEs associated with m-to-DH type II bursts, SEP-associated CMEs are more energetic than those not associated with SEPs, thus suggesting that they are effective particle accelerators. 第 15 条,共 286 条 Observational Evidence of Magnetic Reconnection for Brightenings and Transition Region Arcades in IRIS Observations Zhao, J (Zhao, Jie); Schmieder, B (Schmieder, Brigitte); Li, H (Li, Hui); Pariat, E (Pariat, Etienne); Zhu, XS (Zhu, Xiaoshuai); Feng, L (Feng, Li); Grubecka, M (Grubecka, Michalina) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 836 期: 1 文献号: 52 By using a new method of forced-field extrapolation, we study the emerging flux region AR11850 observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph and Solar Dynamical Observatory. Our results suggest that the bright points(BPs) in this emerging region exhibit responses in lines formed from the upper photosphere to the transition region, which have relatively similar morphologies. They have an oscillation of several minutes according to the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly data at 1600 and 1700 angstrom. The ratio between the BP intensities measured in 1600 and 1700 angstrom filtergrams reveals that these BPs are heated differently. Our analysis of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager vector magnetic field and the corresponding topology in AR11850 indicates that the BPs are located at the polarity inversion line and most of them are related to magnetic reconnection or cancelation. The heating of the BPs might be different due to different magnetic topology. We find that the heating due to the magnetic cancelation would be stronger than the case of bald patch reconnection. The plasma density rather than the magnetic field strength could play a dominant role in this process. Based on physical conditions in the lower atmosphere, our forced-field extrapolation shows consistent results between the bright arcades visible in slit-jaw image 1400 angstrom and the extrapolated field lines that pass through the bald patches. It provides. reliable observational evidence for testing the mechanism of magnetic reconnection for the BPs and arcades in the. emerging flux region, as proposed in simulation studies. 第 16 条,共 286 条 Spectroscopic Observations of Magnetic Reconnection and Chromospheric Evaporation in an X-shaped Solar Flare Li, Y (Li, Y.); Kelly, M (Kelly, M.); Ding, MD (Ding, M.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 848 期: 2 文献号: 118 We present observations of distinct UV spectral properties at different locations during an atypical X-shaped flare (SOL2014-11-09T15:32) observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). In this flare, four chromospheric ribbons appear and converge at an X-point where a separator is anchored. Above the X-point, two sets of non-coplanar 43 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS coronal loops approach laterally and reconnect at the separator. The IRIS. slit was located close to the X-point, cutting across some of the flare ribbons and loops. Near the location of the separator, the Si IV 1402.77 angstrom line exhibits significantly broadened line wings extending to 200 km s(-1) with an unshifted line core. These spectral features suggest the presence of bidirectional flows possibly related to the separator reconnection. While at the flare ribbons, the hot Fe XXI 1354.08 angstrom line shows blueshifts and the cool Si IV 1402.77 angstrom, C II 1335.71 angstrom, and Mg II 2803.52 angstrom lines show evident redshifts up to a velocity of 80 km s(-1), which are consistent with the scenario of chromospheric evaporation/condensation. providing kinematic evidence of the SNR-MC interaction. This SNR-MC association yields a kinematic distance 9 kpc to Kes 73. The MC is shown to be capable of accounting for the hadronic gamma ray emission component. The gamma-ray spectrum can be interpreted with a pure hadronic emission or a magnetar+ hadronic hybrid emission. In the case of pure hadronic emission, the spectral index of the protons is 2.4, very similar to that of the radio-emitting electrons, essentially consistent with the diffusive shock acceleration theory. In the case of magnetar+ hadronic hybrid emission, a magnetic field decay rate. 1036 erg s(-1) is needed to power the magnetar's curvature radiation. 第 19 条,共 286 条 第 17 条,共 286 条 Spectroscopic Observations of Magnetic Reconnection and Chromospheric Evaporation in an X-shaped Solar Flare Generation Mechanisms of Quasi-parallel and Quasi-circular Flare Ribbon in a Confined Flare Li, Y (Li, Y.); Kelly, M (Kelly, M.) ; Ding, MD (Ding, M.

The CIRs were observed by STEREO B (STB), ACE and STEREO A (STA) one after another, and a total of 28 CIRs were identified in this work. Since the same characteristics of CIRs were detected by these three spacecraft at three different locations and times, these data can help us to study the evolutions of CIRs. For a single event, the properties of CIRs observed by the three spacecraft were quite different and could be explained by spatial or temporal variations. For all these 28 CIRs, STA and STB observed similar mean parameters, Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 such as peak magnetic field strength (offset 11%), peak and change in solar wind speed (offset 3% and 10% respectively), peak proton temperature (offset 14%) and peak perpendicular pressure (offset 15%).

M.); Li, D (Li, D.); Ning, ZJ (Ning, Z. J.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 851 期: 1 文献号: 47 In this paper, we report our multiwavelength observations of the simultaneous transverse and longitudinal oscillations in a quiescent prominence. The prominence was observed by the Global Oscillation Network Group and by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory on 2015 June 29. A GOES C2.4 flare took place in NOAA active region 12373, which was associated with a pair of short ribbons and a remote ribbon. During the impulsive phase of the flare, a coronal jet spurted out of the primary flare site and propagated in the northwest direction at an apparent speed of similar to 224 km s(-1). Part of the jet stopped near the remote ribbon. The remaining part continued moving forward before stopping to the east of the prominence. Once the jet encountered the prominence, it pushed the prominence to oscillate periodically. The transverse oscillation of the eastern part (EP) of prominence can be divided into two phases. In phase I, the initial amplitude, velocity, period, and damping timescale are similar to 4.5 Mm, similar to 20 km s(-1), similar to 25 minutes, and similar to 7.5 hr, respectively. The oscillation lasted for two cycles. In phase II, the initial amplitude increases to similar to 11.3 Mm, while the initial velocity halves to similar to 10 km s(-1). The period increases by a factor of similar to 3.5. With a damping timescale of similar to 4.4 hr, the oscillation lasted for about three cycles. The western part of prominence also experienced transverse oscillation. The initial amplitude is only similar to 2 Mm and the velocity is less than 10 km s(-1). The period (similar to 27 minutes) is slightly longer than that of the EP in phase I. The oscillation lasted for about four cycles with the shortest damping timescale (similar to 1.7 hr). To the east of prominence, a handful of horizontal threads experienced longitudinal oscillation. The initial amplitude, velocity, period, and damping timescale are similar to 52 Mm, similar to 50 km s(-1), similar to 99 minutes, and 2.5 hr, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of simultaneous transverse and longitudinal prominence oscillations triggered by a coronal jet. 第 22 条,共 286 条 INITIATION PROCESSES FOR THE 2013 MAY 13 X1.7 LIMB FLARE Shen, JH (Shen, Jinhua); Wang, Y (Wang, Ya); Zhou, TH (Zhou, Tuanhui); Ji, HS (Ji, Haisheng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 1 文献号: 43 For the X1.7 class flare on 2013 May 13 (SOL2013-05-13T01: 53), its initiation process was well observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory. and the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI) on board STEREO-B. The initiation process incorporates the following phenomena: an X-ray precursor that started similar to 9 minutes before flare onset, two hot magnetic loops (as seen with AIA hot channels) forming a sigmoidal core magnetic structure (as seen with the EUVI), a rapidly formed magnetic flux rope (MFR) that expands outward, and a flare loop that contracts inward. The two hot magnetic loops were activated after the occurrence of the X-ray precursor. After activation, magnetic reconnection occurred between the two hot magnetic loops (inside the sigmoid structure), which produced the expanding MFR and the contracting flare loop (CFL). The MFR and CFL can only be seen with AIA hot and cool channels, respectively. For this flare, the real initiation time can be regarded as being from the starting time of the precursor, and its impulsive phase started when the MFR began its fast expansion. In addition, the CFL and the growing postflare magnetic loops are different loop systems, and the CFL was the product of magnetic reconnection between sheared magnetic fields that also produced the MFR. 第 23 条,共 286 条 THE INTERPRETATION OF THE MULTI-WAVELENGTH AFTERGLOW EMISSION OF SHORT GRB 140903A Zhang, S (Zhang, Shuai); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Wang, YZ (Wang, Yuan-Zhu); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 1 文献号: 73 GRB 140903A, a short duration gamma-ray burst (SGRB) detected by Swift, is characterized by its long-lasting radio emission among SGRBs. In addition to the similar to 10(6) s radio afterglow emission, the afterglow of GRB 140903A displays a plateau from 10(3) s to 7 x 10(3) s in the X-rays. In this work, we attribute the X-ray plateau to the energy injection into the decelerating blast wave and then model the later radio/optical/X-ray afterglow emission within the standard fireball afterglow model. The afterglow emission has been well reproduced with reasonable physical parameters, including a jet half-opening angle of similar to 0.05. 第 24 条,共 286 条 NIHAO - VIII. Circum-galactic medium and outflows - The puzzles of H I and O VI gas distributions Gutcke, TA (Gutcke, Thales A.); Stinson, GS (Stinson, Greg S.); Maccio, AV (Maccio, Andrea V.); Wang, L (Wang, Liang); Dutton, AA (Dutton, Aaron A.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 464 期: 3 页: 2796-2815 We study the hot and cold circum-galactic medium (CGM) of 86 galaxies of the cosmological, hydrodynamical simulation suite, Numerical Investigation of a Hundred Astrophysical Objects (NIHAO). NIHAO allows a study of how the z = 0 CGM varies across five orders of magnitude of stellar mass using O VI and HI as proxies for hot and cold gas. The cool HI covering fraction and column density profiles match observations well, particularly in the inner CGM. O VI shows increasing column densities with mass, a trend seemingly echoed in the observations. As in multiple previous simulations, the O VI column densities in simulations are lower than observed and optically thick HI does not extend as far out as in observations. We take a look at the collisional ionization fraction of O VI as a function of halo mass. We make observable predictions of the bipolarity of outflows and their effect on the general shape of the CGM. Bipolar outflows can be seen out to around 40 kpc in intermediate-and low-mass haloes (M-Halo < 10(11) M-circle 45 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS dot), but outside that radius, the CGM is too well mixed to detect an elongated shape. Larger haloes have extended gas discs beyond the stellar disc that dominate the shape of the inner CGM. The simulated CGM is remarkably spherical even in low-mass simulations. The chemical enrichment of both halo and disc gas follow expected increasing trends as a function of halo mass that are well fit with power laws. These relations can be used in non-hydrodynamic models, such as semi-analytic models. 第 25 条,共 286 条 Quasi-periodic pulsations with periods that change depending on whether the pulsations have thermal or nonthermal components Li, D (Li, D.); Zhang, QM (Zhang, Q. M.); Huang, Y (Huang, Y.); Ning, ZJ (Ning, Z. J.); Su, YN (Su, Y. N.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 597 文献号: L4 Context. Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) typically display periodic and regular peaks in the light curves during the flare emissions. Sometimes, QPPs show multiple periods at the same wavelength. However, changing periods in various channels are rare. Aims. We report QPPs in a solar flare on 2014 October 27. They showed a period change that depended on whether thermal or nonthermal components were included. The flare was simultaneously observed by many instruments. Methods. Using the fast Fourier transform (FFT), we decomposed the light curves at multiple wavelengths into slowly varying and rapidly varying signals. Then we identified the QPPs as the regular and periodic peaks from the rapidly varying signals. The periods are derived with the wavelet method and confirmed based on the FFT spectra of the rapidly varying signals. Results. We find a period of similar to 50 s from the thermal emissions during the impulsive phase of the flare, that is, in the soft X-ray bands. At the same time, a period of about 100 s is detected from the nonthermal emissions, such as hard X-ray and microwave channels. The period ratio is exactly 2.0, which might be due to the modulations of the magnetic reconnection rate by the fundamental and harmonic modes of magnetohydrodynamic waves. Our results further show that the similar to 100 s period is present over a broad wavelength, such as hard X-rays, extreme-UV/UV, and microwave emissions, indicating the periodic magnetic reconnection in this flare. Conclusions. To our knowledge, this is the first report about period changes from thermal to nonthermal components in a single flare that occur at almost the same time. This new observational finding could be a challenge to the theory of flare QPPs. 第 26 条,共 286 条 One-Minute Quasi-Periodic Pulsations Seen in a Solar Flare Ning, Z (Ning, Z.) SOLAR PHYSICS 卷: 292 期: 1 文献号: 11 We study quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) in the SOL2014-09-10 event that was detected by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and the Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) onboard the Fermi satellite. Previous studies have found that this flare displays four-minute QPPs in a broad range of wavelengths. In this article, we find that this event also shows QPPs with a period of around one minute. Using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, the light curves are decomposed into fast- and 46 slowly varying components with a separation at approximate to 100 seconds. The four-minute QPPs are in the slowly varying component, and the one-minute QPPs are identified with the fast-varying components in the impulsive and maximum phases. Similarly as the four-minute QPPs, the one-minute QPPs are simultaneously found in soft X-rays (SXR), extreme ultraviolet (EUV), and hard X-ray (HXR) emission. High correlations are found between the fast-varying components at the different wavelengths, especially between SXR and HXR. The spatial location of the sources of one-minute QPPs differ from those of the four-minute QPPs. The four-minute QPPs appear in the whole flare region, while the one-minute QPPs tend to originate from the flare loop footpoints. This finding provides an observational constraint for the physical origin of the QPPs. 第 27 条,共 286 条 The Eruption of a Small-scale Emerging Flux Rope as the Driver of an M-class Flare and of a Coronal Mass Ejection Yan, XL (Yan, X.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 845 期: 1 文献号: 18 Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are the most powerful explosions in the Sun. They are major sources of potentially destructive space weather conditions. However, the possible causes of their initiation remain controversial. Using high-resolution data observed by the New Solar Telescope of Big Bear Solar Observaotry, supplemented by Solar Dynamics Observatory observations, we present unusual observations of a small-scale emerging flux rope near a large sunspot, whose eruption produced an M-class flare and a coronal mass ejection. The presence of the small-scale flux rope was indicated by static nonlinear force-free field extrapolation as well as data-driven magnetohydrodynamics modeling of the dynamic evolution of the coronal three-dimensional magnetic field. During the emergence of the flux rope, rotation of satellite sunspots at the footpoints of the flux rope was observed. Meanwhile, the Lorentz force, magnetic energy, vertical current, and transverse fields were increasing during this phase. The free energy from the magnetic flux emergence and twisting magnetic fields is sufficient to power the M-class flare. These observations present, for the first time, the complete process, from the emergence of the small-scale flux rope, to the production of solar eruptions. 第 28 条,共 286 条 High-resolution Observations Eruptions by NVST of Sympathetic Filament Li, SW (Li, Shangwei); Su, YN (Su, Yingna); Zhou, TH (Zhou, Tuanhui); van Ballegooijen, A (van Ballegooijen, Adriaan); Sun, XD (Sun, Xudong); Ji, HS (Ji, Haisheng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 844 期: 1 文献号: 70 We investigate two sympathetic filament eruptions observed by the New Vacuum Solar Telescope on 2015 October 15. The full picture of the eruptions is obtained from the corresponding Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) observations. The two filaments start from active region NOAA 12434 in the north and end in one large quiescent filament channel in the south. The left filament erupts first, followed by the right filament eruption about 10 minutes later. Clear twist structure and rotating motion are observed in both filaments during the eruption. Both eruptions failed, since the filaments first rise up, then flow toward the Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 south and merge into the southern large quiescent filament. We also observe repeated activations of mini filaments below the right filament after its eruption. Using magnetic field models constructed based on SDO/ HMI magnetograms via the flux rope insertion method, we find that the left filament eruption is likely to be triggered by kink instability, while the weakening of overlying magnetic fields due to magnetic reconnection at an X-point between the two filament systems might play an important role in the onset of the right filament eruption. 第 29 条,共 286 条 Large-amplitude Longitudinal Oscillations in a Solar Filament Zhang, QM (Zhang, Q. M.); Li, T (Li, T.); Zheng, RS (Zheng, R. S.); Su, YN (Su, Y. N.); Ji, HS (Ji, H. S.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 842 期: 1 文献号: 27 In this paper, we report our multiwavelength observations of the large-amplitude longitudinal oscillations of a filament observed. on 2015 May 3. Located next to active region 12335, the sigmoidal filament was observed by the ground-based H alpha telescopes from the Global Oscillation Network Group and by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on. board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The filament oscillations were most probably triggered by the magnetic reconnection in the filament channel, which is characterized by the bidirectional flows, brightenings in EUV and soft X-ray, and magnetic cancellation in the photosphere. The directions of oscillations have angles of 4 degrees-36 degrees with respect to the filament axis. The whole filament did not oscillate in phase as a rigid body. Meanwhile, the oscillation. periods (3100-4400 s). have a spatial dependence, implying that the curvature radii (R) of the magnetic dips are different at different positions. The values of R are estimated to be 69.4-133.9 Mm, and the minimum transverse magnetic field of the dips is estimated to be 15 G. The amplitudes of S5-S8 grew with time, while the amplitudes of S9-S14 damped with time. The oscillation. amplitudes. range from a few to ten Mm, and the maximum. velocity can reach 30 km s(-1). Interestingly, the filament experienced mass drainage southward. at a speed of similar to 27 km s(-1). The oscillations continued after the mass drainage and lasted for more than 11 hr. After the mass drainage, the oscillation. phases. did not change much. The periods of S5-S8 decreased, while the periods of S9-S14 increased. The amplitudes of S5-S8 damped with time, while the amplitudes of S9-S14 grew. Most of the damping (growing) ratios are between -9 and 14. We offer. a schematic cartoon to explain the complex behaviors of oscillations by introducing thread-thread interaction. observations suggest that solar tornadoes can be triggered by the interaction between filaments and nearby coronal jets, which has rarely been reported before. At the earlier development phase of the first tornado, about 30 small-scale sub-jets appeared in the tornado's arm, accompanied by local EUV brightenings. They have an ejection direction approximately vertical to the axis of the arm and a typical maximum speed of similar to 280 km s(-1). During the ruinations of the two tornadoes, fast plasma outflows from the strong EUV brightenings inside tornadoes are observed, in company with the untangling or unwinding of the highly twisted tornado structures. These observational features indicate that self reconnections probably occurred between the tangled magnetic fields of the tornadoes and resulted in the rapid disintegrations and disappearances of the tornadoes. According to the reconnection theory, we also derive the field strength of the tornado core to be similar to 8G. 第 31 条,共 286 条 Explosive Chromospheric Evaporation Driven by Nonthermal Electrons around One Footpoint of a Solar Flare Loop Li, D (Li, D.); Ning, ZJ (Ning, Z. J.); Huang, Y (Huang, Y.); Zhang, QM (Zhang, Q. M.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 841 期: 1 文献号: L9 We explore the temporal relationship between microwave/hard X-ray (HXR) emission and Doppler velocity during the impulsive phase of a solar flare on 2014 October 27 (SOL2014-10-27) that displays a pulse on the light curves in the microwave (34 GHz) and HXR (25-50 keV) bands before the flare maximum. Imaging observation shows that this pulse mainly comes from one footpoint of a solar flare loop. The slit of the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) stays at this footpoint during this solar flare. The Doppler velocities of Fe XXI. 1354.09 angstrom and Si IV. 1402.77. angstrom are extracted from the Gaussian fitting method. We find that the hot line of Fe XXI. 1354.09 angstrom (log T similar to 7.05) in the corona exhibits blueshift, while the cool line of Si IV. 1402.77 angstrom (log T similar to 4.8) in the transition region exhibits redshift, indicating explosive chromospheric evaporation. Evaporative upflows along the flare loop are also observed in the AIA 131 angstrom image. To our knowledge, this is the first report of chromospheric evaporation evidence from both spectral and imaging observations in the same flare. Both microwave and HXR pulses are well correlated with the Doppler velocities, suggesting that the chromospheric evaporation is driven by nonthermal electrons around this footpoint of a solar flare loop. 第 30 条,共 286 条 第 32 条,共 286 条 Solar Tornadoes Triggered by Interaction between Filaments and EUV Jets Blob Formation and Ejection in Coronal Jets due to the Plasmoid and Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities Chen, HD (Chen, Huadong); Zhang, J (Zhang, Jun); Ma, SL (Ma, Suli); Yan, XL (Yan, Xiaoli); Xue, JC (Xue, Jianchao) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 841 期: 1 文献号: L13 We investigate the formations and evolutions of two successive solar tornadoes in/near AR 12297 during 2015 March 19-20. Recurrent EUV jets close to two filaments were detected along a large-scale coronal loop prior to the appearances of the tornadoes. Under the disturbances from the activities, the filaments continually ascended and finally interacted with the loops tracked by the jets. Subsequently, the structures of the filaments and the loop were merged together, probably via magnetic reconnections, and formed tornado-like structures with a long spiral arm. Our Ni, L (Ni, Lei); Zhang, QM (Zhang, Qing-Min); Murphy, NA (Murphy, Nicholas A.); Lin, J (Lin, Jun) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 841 期: 1 文献号: 27 We perform 2D resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of coronal jets driven by flux emergence along the lower boundary. The reconnection layers are susceptible to the formation of blobs that are ejected in the jet. Our simulation with low plasma beta (Case I) shows that magnetic islands form easily and propagate upward in the jet. These islands are multithermal and thus are predicted to show up in hot channels (335 angstrom and 211 angstrom) and the cool channel (304 angstrom) in observations by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory. 47 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS The islands have maximum temperatures of 8 MK, lifetimes of 120 s, diameters of 6 Mm, and velocities of 200 km s(-1). These parameters are similar to the properties of blobs observed in extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) jets by AIA. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability develops in our simulation with moderately high plasma beta (Case II) and leads to the formation of bright vortex-like blobs above the multiple high magnetosonic Mach number regions that appear along the jet. These vortex-like blobs can also be identified in the AIA channels. However, they eventually move downward and disappear after the high magnetosonic Mach number regions disappear. In the lower plasma beta case, the lifetime for the jet is shorter, the jet and magnetic islands are formed with higher velocities and temperatures, the current-sheet fragments are more chaotic, and more magnetic islands are generated. Our results show that the plasmoid instability and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability along the jet are both possible causes of the formation of blobs observed at EUV wavelengths. flux observed at frequency v, (t) over bar obs is the observer time by setting t(0) at a certain time in the steep decay phase, beta is the spectral index estimated around v, (t) over bar c and is the decay timescale of the phase with (t) over bar obs We test the analytical formula with the data from numerical calculations. It is found that the analytical formula presents a good estimate of the evolution of the flux shaped by the curvature effect. Our analytical formula can be used to confront the curvature effect with observations and estimate the decay timescale of the steep decay phase. 第 35 条,共 286 条 Statistical properties of bipolar magnetic regions Lin, DB (Lin, Da-Bin); Mu, HJ (Mu, Hui-Jun); Liang, YF (Liang, Yun-Feng); Liu, T (Liu, Tong); Gu, WM (Gu, Wei-Min); Lu, RJ (Lu, Rui-Jing); Wang, XG (Wang, Xiang-Gao); Liang, EW (Liang, En-Wei) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 840 期: 2 文献号: 118 We derive a simple analytical formula to describe the evolution of spectral index beta in the steep decay phase shaped by the curvature effect with the. assumption that the spectral parameters and Lorentz factor of the. jet shell are. the same for different latitudes. Here, the value of beta is estimated in the 0.3-10 keV energy band. For a spherical thin shell with a cutoff power-law (CPL) intrinsic radiation spectrum, the spectral evolution can be read as a linear function of observer time. For the situation with the. Band function intrinsic radiation spectrum, the spectral evolution may be complex. If the observed break energy of the. radiation spectrum is larger than 10 keV, the spectral evolution is the same as that shaped by jet shells with a CPL spectrum. If the observed break energy is less than 0.3 keV, the value of beta would be a constant. For others, the spectral evolution can be approximated as a logarithmal function of the observer time in general. Li, D (Li, Dong) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 5 文献号: 40 Using observations from the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) onboard Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), we develop a computational algorithm to automatically identify bipolar magnetic regions (BMRs) in active regions (ARs), and then study their statistical properties. The individual magnetic (positive or negative) pole of a BMR is determined from the region with an absolute strength above 55G and with an area larger than 250 pixel(2) (similar to 495 Mm(2)), while a BMR is identified as a pair of positive and negative poles with the shortest area-weight distance between them. Based on this method, 2234 BMRs are identified fromMDI synoptic magnetograms between Carrington Rotations 1909 (1996 May 06) and 2104 (2010 December 10). 1005 of them are located in the northern hemisphere, while the other 1229 are in the southern hemisphere. We find that the BMR parameters (e.g., latitude, separation, fragment number and strength) are similar to those of ARs. Moreover, based on the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method, the frequency distributions representing the occurrence of these BMRs as functions of area and magnetic flux exhibit a power-law behavior, i.e., dN/d x alpha x (-alpha x), with indices of alpha(A) = 1.98 +/- 0.06 and alpha(F) = 1.93 +/- 0.05 respectively. We also find that their orientation angles (theta) follow "Hale's Polarity Law" and deviate slightly toward the direction of the solar equator. Consistent with previous findings, we obtain the dependence of orientation angles on latitudes for normal BMRs during the 23rd solar cycle. The north-south asymmetry of these BMRs is also detected here. 第 34 条,共 286 条 第 36 条,共 286 条 Steep Decay Phase Shaped by the Curvature Effect. I.

To test the curvature effect with observations, the zero time point t(0) adopted to plot the observer time and flux on a logarithmic scale should be appropriately selected. In practice, however, the true t0 cannot be directly constrained from the data. Thus, we move t0 to a certain time in the steep decay phase, which can be easily identified. In this situation, we derive an analytical formula to describe the flux evolution of the steep decay phase. The analytical formula reads as F-v proportional to (1 +(t) over bar obs /(t) over bar obs) (-alpha,) with alpha((t) over bar (obs) =2 + integral(0) log(1+(t) over bar obs /(t) over barc) ss(T )d[log (1 +(t) over barc)]/1+(t) over bar obs /(t) over barc) F-v is the Sun, Z (Sun, Zhao); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui); Wang, S (Wang, Su); Jin, S (Jin, Sheng) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 467 期: 1 页: 619-632 In this work, we investigate extensively the formation of near 4:2:1 mean motion resonance (MMR) configurations by performing two sets of N-body simulations. We model the eccentricity damping, gas drag, type I and type II planetary migration of planetesimals, planetary embryos and giant planets in the first set. For simulations of giant planets with type II migration, massive terrestrial planets with a mass up to several Earth masses are likely produced in these systems. We further show that by shepherding and/ or scattering mechanisms through a Jovian planet's type II migration, the terrestrial and giant planets in the systems can be evolved into near 4:2:1 MMRs. Moreover, the models are applicable to the formation of the Kepler-238 and 302 systems.

By considering type I migration, similar to 17.1 per cent of the simulations indicate that terrestrial planets are evolved into 4:2:1 MMRs. However, this probability should depend on the initial conditions of the planets. Hence, we conclude that both type I and type II migration can play a crucial role in close-in terrestrial planet formation. 第 37 条,共 286 条 Interaction of Two Filaments in a Long Filament Channel Associated with Twin Coronal Mass Ejections Zheng, RS (Zheng, Ruisheng); Zhang, QM (Zhang, Qingmin); Chen, Y (Chen, Yao); Wang, B (Wang, Bing); Du, GH (Du, Guohui); Li, CY (Li, Chuanyang); Yang, K (Yang, Kai) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 836 期: 2 文献号: 160 Using the high-quality observations of the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we present the interaction of two filaments (F1 and F2) in a long filament channel associated with twin coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on 2016 January 26. Before the eruption, a sequence of rapid cancellation and emergence of the magnetic flux has been observed, which likely triggered the ascending of the west filament (F1). The east footpoints of rising F1 moved toward the east far end of the filament channel, accompanied by post-eruption loops and flare ribbons. This likely indicated a large-scale eruption involving the long filament channel, which resulted from the interaction between F1 and the east filament (F2). Some bright plasma flew over F2, and F2 stayed at rest during the eruption, likely due to the confinement of its overlying lower magnetic field. Interestingly, the impulsive F1 pushed its overlying magnetic arcades to form the first CME, and F1 finally evolved into the second CME after the collision with the nearby coronal hole. We suggest that the interaction of F1 and the overlying magnetic field of F2 led to the merging reconnection that forms a longer eruptive filament loop. Our results also provide a possible picture of the origin of twin CMEs and show that the large-scale magnetic topology of the coronal hole is important for the eventual propagation direction of CMEs. 第 38 条,共 286 条 Location of energy source for coronal heating on the photosphere Hong, ZX (Hong, Zhen-Xiang); Yang, X (Yang, Xu); Wang, Y (Wang, Ya); Ji, KF (Ji, Kai-Fan); Ji, HS (Ji, Hai-Sheng); Cao, WD (Cao, Wen-Da) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 3 文献号: 25 It is reported that ultra-fine dynamic ejections along magnetic loops of an active region originate from intergranular lanes and they are associated with subsequent heating in the corona. As continuing work, we analyze the same set of data but focus on a quiet region and the overlying EUV/UV emission as observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We find that there appear to be dark patches scattered across the quiet region and the dark patches always stay along intergranular lanes. Over the dark patches, the average UV/EUV emission at 131, 171, 304 and 1600 angstrom (middle temperature) is more intense than that of other regions and EUV brightness is negatively correlated with 10830 angstrom intensity, though, such a trend does not exist for high temperature lines at 94, 193, 211 and 335 angstrom. For the same quiet region, where both TiO 7057 angstrom broad band images and 10830 angstrom filtergrams are available, contours for the darkest lane areas on TiO images and dark patches on 10830 angstrom filtergrams frequently differ in space. The results suggest that the dark patches do not simply reflect the areas with the darkest lanes but are associated with a kind of enhanced absorption (EA) at 10830 angstrom. A strict definition for EA with narrow band 10830 angstrom filtergrams is found to be difficult. In this paper, we define enhanced absorption patches (EAPs) of a quiet region as the areas where emission is less than similar to 90% of the mean intensity of the region. The value is equivalent to the average intensity along thin dark loops connecting two moss regions of the active region. A more strict definition for EAPs, say 88%, gives even more intense UV/EUV emission over those in the middle temperature range. The results provide further observational evidence that energy for heating the upper solar atmosphere comes from the intergranular lane area where the magnetic field is constantly brought in by convection motion in granules. 第 39 条,共 286 条 Pre-flare coronal dimmings Zhang, QM (Zhang, Q. M.); Su, YN (Su, Y. N.); Ji, HS (Ji, H. S.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 598 文献号: A3 Context. Coronal dimmings are regions of decreased extreme-ultravoilet (EUV) and/or X-ray (originally Skylab, then Yohkoh/SXT) intensities, which are often associated with flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The large-scale impulsive dimmings have been thoroughly observed and investigated. The pre-flare dimmings before the flare impulsive phase, however, have rarely been studied in detail. Aims. We focus on the pre-flare coronal dimmings. We report our multiwavelength observations of the GOES X1.6 solar flare and the accompanying halo CME that was produced by the eruption of a sigmoidal magnetic flux rope (MFR) in NOAA active region (AR) 12158 on 2014 September 10. Methods. The eruption was observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). The photospheric line-of-sight magnetograms were observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board SDO. The soft X-ray (SXR) fluxes were recorded by the GOES spacecraft. The halo CME was observed by the white-light coronagraphs of the Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO) on board SOHO. Results. About 96 min before the onset of the flare /CME, narrow pre-flare coronal dimmings appeared at the two ends of the twisted MFR. They extended very slowly, with their intensities decreasing with time, while their apparent widths (8 9 Mm) continued to be nearly constant. During the impulsive and decay phases of flare, typical fan-like twin dimmings appeared and expanded, with a much larger extent and lower intensities than the pre-flare dimmings. The percentage of the 171 angstrom intensity decrease reac40%. The pre-flare dimmings are most striking in 171, 193, and 211 angstrom with formation temperatures 0.6-2.5 MK. The northern part of the pre-flare dimmings could also be recognized in 131 and 335 angstrom. Conclusions. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed study of pre-flare coronal dimmings; they can be explained by density depletion as a result of the gradual expansion of the coronal loop system surrounding the MFR during the slow rise of the MFR. 第 40 条,共 286 条 LITTLE THINGS (vol 144, 134, 2012) Hunter, DA (Hunter, Deidre A.); Ficut-Vicas, D (Ficut-Vicas, Dana); Ashley, T (Ashley, Trisha); Brinks, E (Brinks, Elias); Cigan, P (Cigan, Phil); Elmegreen, BG (Elmegreen, Bruce G.); Heesen, V (Heesen, Volker); Herrmann, KA (Herrmann, Kimberly A.); Johnson, M (Johnson, Megan); Oh, SH (Oh, Se-Heon); Rupen, 49 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS MP (Rupen, Michael P.); Schruba, A (Schruba, Andreas); Simpson, CE (Simpson, Caroline E.); Walter, F (Walter, Fabian); Westpfahl, DJ (Westpfahl, David J.); Young, LM (Young, Lisa M.); Zhang, HX (Zhang, Hong-Xin) ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL 卷: 153 期: 1 文献号: 47 DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/153/1/47 出版年: JAN 2017 第 41 条,共 286 条 Design Study on the Digital Correlator Using for Radio Holography Xu, LF (Xu, Linfen); Zuo, YX (Zuo, Yingxi) Xhafa, F (Xhafa, F); Patnaik, S (Patnaik, S); Yu, Z (Yu, Z) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS AND INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS (IISA2016) 丛书标题: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing 卷: 541 页: 377-382 In this paper the author presents a digital correlation design for the radio holography receiver of DATE5 (the 5-m Dome A Terahertz Explorer).

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 472 期: 3 页: 3532-3542 We use numerical N-body hydrodynamical simulations with varying PopIII stellar models to investigate the possibility of detecting first star signatures with observations of high-redshift damped Lya absorbers (DLAs). The simulations include atomic and molecular cooling, star formation, energy feedback and metal spreading due to the evolution of stars with a range of masses and metallicities. Different initial mass functions (IMFs) and corresponding metaldependent yields and lifetimes are adopted to model primordial stellar populations. The DLAs in the simulations are selected according to either the local gas temperature (temperature selected) or the host mass (mass selected). We find that 3 per cent (40 per cent) of mass (temperature)-selected high-z (z = 5.5) DLAs retain signatures of pollution from PopIII stars, independent of the first star model. Such DLAs have low halo mass (< 109.6 M-circle dot), metallicity (< 10(-3) Z(circle dot)) and star formation rate (< 10(-1.5) M-circle dot yr(-1)). Metal abundance ratios of DLAs imprinted in the spectra of quasi-stellar object can be useful as tools to infer the properties of the polluting stellar generation and to constrain the first star mass ranges. Comparing the abundance ratios derived from our simulations to those observed in DLAs at z = 5, we find that most of these DLAs are consistent within errors with PopII star dominated enrichment and strongly disfavour the pollution pattern of very massive first stars (i.e. 100-500 M-circle dot). However, some of them could still result from the pollution of first stars in the mass range [0.1, 100] M-circle dot. In particular, we find that the abundance ratios from SDSS J1202+ 3235 are consistent with those expected from PopIII 50 enrichment dominated by massive (but not extreme) first stars. 第 43 条,共 286 条 Doppler Shift Oscillations from a Hot Line Observed by IRIS Li, D (Li, D.); Ning, ZJ (Ning, Z.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 849 期: 2 文献号: 113 We present a detailed investigation of the Doppler shift oscillations in a hot loop during an M7.1 flare on 2014 October 27 observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph. The periodic oscillations are observed in the Doppler shift of Fe XXI. 1354.09 angstrom (log T similar to 7.05), and the dominant period is about 3.1. minutes. However, such 3.1 minute oscillations are not found in the line-integrated intensity of Fe XXI. 1354.09 angstrom, AIA EUV fluxes, or microwave emissions. Solar Dynamics Observatory/AIA and Hinode/XRT imaging observations indicate that the Doppler shift oscillations locate at the hot loop-top region (>= 11 MK). Moreover, the differential emission measure results show that the temperature is increasing rapidly when the Doppler shift oscillates, but the number density does not exhibit the corresponding increases nor oscillations, implying that the flare loop is likely to oscillate in an incompressible mode. All of these facts suggest that the Doppler shift oscillations at the shorter period are most likely the standing kink oscillations in a flare loop. Meanwhile, a longer period of about 10. minutes is identified in the time series of Doppler shift and line-integrated intensity, GOES SXR fluxes, and AIA EUV light curves, indicating the periodic energy release in this flare, which may be caused by a slow mode wave. 第 44 条,共 286 条 Quasi-periodic pulsations with multiple periods in hard X-ray emission Li, D (Li, D.); Zhang, QM (Zhang, Q. M.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 471 期: 1 页: L6-L10 We explore quasi-periodic pulsations with multiple periods in hard X-ray (HXR) emission from the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor during the impulsive phase of a solar flare (SOL2014-09-10). The completely new observational result is that the shorter periods appear at lower energies of the X-ray photons at the beginning and the longer periods appear at higher energies at the end, with some intersection of the periods at medium energies. We also find shorter and then longer periods during the same phase of this flare. Using the wavelet power spectrum and fast Fourier transform spectrum, we analyse the normalized rapidly varying signal divided by its slowly varying signal, which is the smoothed original HXR flux. The periods of 27 and 37 s are derived at lower-energy channels between 17: 25 and 17: 29 UT (i.e. 12.0-27.3 and 27.3-50.9 keV). Then, the periods of 27, 46 and 60 s are observed at the medium-energy channel from 17: 26 to 17: 33 UT, such as 50.9-102.3 keV. Also, the period of 80 s is detected at the higher-energy channel from 17: 28 to 17: 33 UT, such as 102.3-296.4 keV. 第 45 条,共 286 条 Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 Large-amplitude Longitudinal Oscillations Triggered by the Merging of Two Solar Filaments: Observations and Magnetic Field Analysis Luna, M (Luna, M.); Su, Y (Su, Y.); Schmieder, B (Schmieder, B.); Chandra, R (Chandra, R.); Kucera, TA (Kucera, T. A.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 850 期: 2 文献号: 143 We follow the eruption of two related intermediate filaments observed in Ha (from GONG) and EUV (from Solar Dynamics Observatory SDO/Atmospheric Imaging assembly AIA) and the resulting large-amplitude longitudinal oscillations of the plasma in the filament channels. The events occurred in and around the decayed active region AR12486 on 2016 January 26. Our detailed study of the oscillation reveals that the periods of the oscillations are about one hour. In H alpha, the period decreases with time and exhibits strong damping. The analysis of 171 angstrom images shows that the oscillation has two phases: an initial long-period phase and a subsequent oscillation with a shorter period. In this wavelength, the damping appears weaker than in Ha. The velocity is the largest ever detected in a prominence oscillation, approximately 100 km s(-1). Using SDO/HMI magnetograms, we reconstruct the magnetic field of the filaments, modeled as flux ropes by using a flux-rope insertion method. Applying seismological techniques, we determine that the radii of curvature of the field lines in which cool plasma is condensed are in the range 75-120.

In addition, we infer a field strength of >= 7 to 30 Gauss, depending on the electron density assumed, that is also in agreement with the values from the reconstruction (8-20 Gauss). The poloidal flux is zero and the axis flux is on the order of 10(20) to 10(21) Mx, confirming the high shear existing even in a non-active filament. 1-04 Acceleration and Radiation of High-Energy Cosmic Particles shock via the linear diffusive shock particle acceleration process, so spatial transport may play a role; (2) the energy loss timescale of electrons at the high-energy cutoff due to synchrotron radiation appears to be always a bit (within a factor of a few) shorter than the age of the corresponding remnant, which also requires continuous particle acceleration; (3) double power-law distributions are needed to fit the spectra of CTB 37B and CTB 37A, which may be attributed to shock interaction with molecular clouds. 第 47 条,共 286 条 Anomalous Distributions of Primary Cosmic Rays as Evidence for Time-dependent Particle Acceleration in Supernova Remnants Zhang, YR (Zhang, Yiran); Liu, SM (Liu, Siming); Yuan, Q (Yuan, Qiang) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 844 期: 1 文献号: L3 Recent precise measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) spectra show that the energy distribution of protons is softer than those of heavier nuclei, and there are spectral hardenings for all nuclear compositions above similar to 200 GV. Models proposed for these anomalies generally assume steady-state solutions of the particle acceleration process. We show that if the diffusion coefficient has a weak dependence on the particle rigidity near shock fronts of supernova remnants (SNRs), time-dependent solutions of the linear diffusive shock acceleration at two stages of SNR evolution can naturally account for these anomalies. The high-energy component of CRs is dominated by acceleration in the free expansion and adiabatic phases with enriched heavy elements and a high shock speed. The low-energy component may be attributed to acceleration by slow shocks propagating in dense molecular clouds with low metallicity in the radiative phase. Instead of a single power-law distribution, the spectra of time-dependent solutions soften gradually with the increase of energy, which may be responsible for the "knee" of CRs. 第 48 条,共 286 条 Evaluation of dimension of fractal time series with the least square method 第 46 条,共 286 条 EVOLUTION OF HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION IN MATURE SHELL-TYPE SUPERNOVA REMNANTS Zeng, HD (Zeng, Houdun); Xin, YL (Xin, Yuliang); Liu, SM (Liu, Siming); Jokipii, JR (Jokipii, J.

In consideration of the SNR origin of Galactic cosmic rays and physics related to particle acceleration and radiative processes, we use a simple one-zone model to fit the nonthermal emission spectra of three shell-type SNRs located within 2 degrees on the sky: RX J1713.7-3946, CTB 37B, and CTB 37A. Although radio images of these three sources all show a shell (or half-shell) structure, their radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray spectra are quite different, offering an ideal case to explore evolution of energetic particle distribution in SNRs. Our spectral fitting shows that (1) the particle distribution becomes harder with aging of these SNRs, implying a continuous acceleration process, and the particle distributions of CTB 37A and CTB 37B in the GeV range are harder than the hardest distribution that can be produced at a Qiao, BQ (Qiao, BingQiang); Liu, SM (Liu, SiMing); Zeng, HD (Zeng, HouDun); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Dai, BZ (Dai, BenZhong) SCIENCE CHINA-PHYSICS MECHANICS & ASTRONOMY 卷: 60 期: 4 文献号: 040521 Properties of fractional Brownian motions (fBms) have been investigated by researchers in different fields, e.g. statistics, hydrology, biology, finance, and public transportation, which has helped us better understand many complex time series observed in nature [1-4]. The Hurst exponent H (0 < H < 1) is the most important parameter characterizing any given time series F(t), where t represents the time steps, and the fractal dimension D is determined via the relation D = 2 − H. The Hurst exponent H is defined with the following expression [5]: log(h|F(t + τ) − F(t)|i) ∝ Hlog(τ), (1) where “hi” represents averaging over t. Using the Lowen method for 0 < H < 0.5 and the circulant embedding method for 0.5 < H < 1, Qiao and Liu [5] carried out extensive simulations of fBms with different H to obtain the standard deviation of the re-scaled range h| △ Fτ|i = h|F(t + τ) − F(t)|i for different sampling methods. This letter extends this study to apply the commonly used least square (LS) method to the log(h|F(t + τ) − F(t)|i) v.s. log(τ) plot for evaluation of H. 第 49 条,共 286 条 51 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS Measure the Propagation of a Halo CME and Its Driven Shock with the Observations from a Single Perspective at Earth Lu, L (Lu, Lei); Inhester, B (Inhester, Bernd); Feng, L (Feng, Li); Liu, SM (Liu, Siming); Zhao, XH (Zhao, Xinhua) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: 188 We present a detailed study of an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (full-halo CME) event that happened on 2011 February 15, making use of white-light observations by three coronagraphs and radio observations by Wind/WAVES. We applied three different methods to reconstruct the propagation direction and traveling distance of the CME and its driven shock. We measured the kinematics of the CME leading edge from white-light images observed by Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Aand B, tracked the CME-driven shock using the frequency drift observed by Wind/WAVES together with an interplanetary density model, and obtained the equivalent scattering centers of the CME by the polarization ratio (PR) method. For the first time, we applied the PR method to different features distinguished from LASCO/C2 polarimetric observations and calculated their projections onto white-light images observed by STEREO-A and STEREO-B. By combining the graduated cylindrical shell (GCS) forward modeling with the PR method, we proposed a new GCS-PR method to derive 3D parameters of a CME observed from a single perspective at Earth. Comparisons between different methods show a good degree of consistence in the derived 3D results. 第 50 条,共 286 条 Calibration of the Mengcheng Solar Radio Spectrometer Wang Lu; Zhang Ping; Liu Siming; Liu Rui; Pan Zonghao; Song Qiwu; Ning Zongjun; Ma Kaixue Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 1 页 : 4-1-4-13 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:1<4:MCTYSD>2.0.TX;2-V Observations of solar radio bursts are one of the most important tools to study solar activities. Based on the analysis of the Mengcheng Solar Radio Spectrometer observations of an M2.9 class flare occurred on 2015 August 27,we find that the classical calibration method does not give satisfactory results, due to the influence of the electronic apparatuses of the instrument. By using the X-ray and radio data of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), and Nobeyama Radio Polarimeter (NoRP)/Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH), and combined with the relevant radiative mechanisms, the calibration method is improved. Compared to the classical method, the improved calibration method provides better results, which are consistent with the NoRP/NoRH observations and reveal the typical evolution of the radio spectrum for a flare. 1-05 Physics of Dark Matter Indirect Detection 第 51 条,共 286 条 A gamma-ray Quasi-periodic Modulation in the Blazar PKS 0301-243? Zhang, PF (Zhang, Peng-Fei); Yan, DH (Yan, Da-Hai); Zhou, JN (Zhou, Jia-Neng); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wang, JC (Wang, Jian-Cheng); Zhang, L (Zhang, Li) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 52 卷: 845 期: 1 文献号: 82 We report a nominally high-confidence gamma-ray quasi-periodic modulation in the blazar PKS 0301-243. For this target, we analyze its Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data from 2008 August to 2017 May. Two techniques, i.e., maximum likelihood optimization and exposure-weighted aperture photometry, are used to build the gamma-ray light curves. Then, both the Lomb-Scargle periodogram and the weighted wavelet Z-transform are applied to the light curves to search for period signals. A quasi-periodicity with a period of 2.1 +/- 0.3 yr appears at the significance level of similar to 5 sigma, although it should be noted that this putative quasi-period variability is seen in a data set that is barely four times longer. We speculate that this gamma-ray quasi-periodic modulation may be evidence of a binary supermassive black hole. 第 52 条,共 286 条 Neutron Star-Black Hole Coalescence Rate Inferred from Macronova Observations Li, X (Li, Xiang); Hu, YM (Hu, Yi-Ming); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 844 期: 2 文献号: L22 Neutron star-black hole (NS-BH) coalescences are widely believed to be promising gravitational-wave sources in the era of advanced detectors of LIGO/Virgo, but the rate of this population is highly uncertain due to the lack of direct detection of such binaries. There is growing evidence for the connection between the observed three luminous macronova (also known as kilonova) events and NS-BH mergers. In this work, we propose, for the first time based on such a link, a fiducial lower limit of NS-BH coalescence rate density R-nsbh approximate to 18.8(-8.6)(+12.5) Gpc(-3) yr(-0.1) (theta(j)/0.1 rad)(-2) ,where theta(j) is the typical half-opening angle of the GRB ejecta. After marginalizing over distributions of black hole masses and spins, we find a rate density R-nsbh >= 10(2) Gpc(-3) yr(-1), depending upon the equation of state (EoS) of NS material and the properties of the NS-BH system. With the O1 non-observation by advanced LIGO, we show a preference for NS-BH systems with a stiffer NS EoS and a larger contribution from low-mass/high-spin BHs. Our estimate predicts the first detection of an NS-BH system can be as early as the late O2 run or the early O3 run. We expect that future multi-messenger observations can much better constrain NS-BH systems' properties. 第 53 条,共 286 条 Possible Correlations between the Emission Properties of SGRBs and Their Offsets from the Host Galaxies Zhang, S (Zhang, Shuai); Jin, ZP (Jin, Zhi-Ping); Zhang, FW (Zhang, Fu-Wen); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 844 期: 1 文献号: 55 Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are widely believed to be from mergers of binary compact objects involving at least one neutron star and hence have a broad range of spatial offsets from their host galaxies. In this work, we search for possible correlations between the emission properties of 18 SGRBs and their offsets from the host galaxies. The SGRBs with and without extended emission do not show significant differences between their offset distributions, in agreement with some previous works. There are, however, possible correlations between the optical and X-ray afterglow emission and the offsets. The underlying physical origins are examined. 第 54 条,共 286 条 Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 Revisiting SNR Puppis A with Seven Years of Fermi Large Area Telescope Observations Xin, YL (Xin, Yu-Liang); Guo, XL (Guo, Xiao-Lei); Liao, NH (Liao, Neng-Hui); Yuan, Q (Yuan, Qiang); Liu, SM (Liu, Si-Ming); Wei, DM (Wei, Da-Ming) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 843 期: 2 文献号: 90 Puppis A is a very famous and extensively studied supernova remnant that shows strong evidence of shock-cloud interaction. We reanalyze its GeV gamma-ray emission using seven years of Pass 8 data recorded by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The morphology of the gamma-ray emission is more compatible with that of the thermal X-ray and IR emissions than the radio image, which suggests a possible correlation between the gamma-ray-emitting region and dense clouds. The gamma-ray spectrum in the energy range of 1-500 GeV shows a break at 7.92 +/- 1.91 GeV, with photon indices of 1.81 +/- 0.08 below the break and 2.53 +/- 0.12 above the break, which can naturally explain the lack of TeV gamma-ray emission from Puppis A. The multi-wavelength observations favor a hadronic origin for the gamma-ray emission.

Using two techniques (i. e., the maximum likelihood optimization and the exposure-weighted aperture photometry), we obtain gamma-ray light curves from Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data covering from 2008 August to 2016 December. We then analyze the light curves with the Lomb-Scargle periodogram and the weighted wavelet Z-transform. A gamma-ray quasi-periodicity with a period of 3.35 +/- 0.68 yr is found at the significance level of. 3.6 s. The optical-UV flux covering from 2005 August to 2013 April provided by the ASI Science Data Center is also analyzed, but no significant quasi-periodicity is found. It should be pointed out that the result of the optical-UV data could be tentative because of the incompleteness of the data. Further long-term multiwavelength monitoring of this FSRQ is needed to confirm its quasi-periodicity. 第 55 条,共 286 条 第 57 条,共 286 条 Millimeter observations of the disk around GW Orionis Possible Dark Matter Annihilation Signal in the AMS-02 Antiproton Data Fang, M (Fang, M.); Sicilia-Aguilar, A (Sicilia-Aguilar, A.); Wilner, D (Wilner, D.); Wang, Y (Wang, Y.); Roccatagliata, V (Roccatagliata, V.); Fedele, D (Fedele, D.); Wang, JZ (Wang, J. Z.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 603 文献号: A132 The GW Ori system is a pre-main sequence triple system (GW Ori A/B/C) with companions (GW Ori B/C) at similar to 1AU and similar to 8AU, respectively, from the primary (GW Ori A). The primary of the system has a mass of 3.9 M-circle dot, but shows a spectral type of G8. Thus, GW Ori A could be a precursor of a B star, but it is still at an earlier evolutionary stage than Herbig Be stars. GW Ori provides an ideal target for experiments and observations (being a "blown-up" solar system with a very massive sun and at least two upscaled planets). We present the first spatially resolved millimeter interferometric observations of the disk around the triple pre-main sequence system GW Ori, obtained with the Submillimeter Array, both in continuum and in the (CO)-C-12 J = 2-1, (CO)-C-13 J = 2 1, and (CO)-O-18 J = 2-1 lines. These new data reveal a huge, massive, and bright disk in the GW Ori system. The dust continuum emission suggests a disk radius of around 400AU, but the 12CO J = 2 1 emission shows a much more extended disk with a size around 1300AU. Owing to the spatial resolution (similar to 1"), we cannot detect the gap in the disk that is inferred from spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling. We characterize the dust and gas properties in the disk by comparing the observations with the predictions from the disk models with various parameters calculated with a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code RADMC-3D. The disk mass is around 0.12 M-circle dot, and the disk inclination with respect to the line of sight is around similar to 35 degrees. The kinematics in the disk traced by the CO line emission strongly suggest that the circumstellar material in the disk is in Keplerian rotation around GW Ori. Tentatively substantial (CO)-O-18 depletion in gas phase is required to explain the characteristics of the line emission from the disk. 第 56 条,共 286 条 Possible Quasi-periodic Modulation in the z=1.1 Gamma-Ray Blazar PKS 0426-380 Zhang, PF (Zhang, Peng-fei); Yan, DH (Yan, Da-hai); Liao, NH Cui, MY (Cui, Ming-Yang); Yuan, Q (Yuan, Qiang); Tsai, YLS (Tsai, Yue-Lin Sming); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong) PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 卷: 118 期: 19 文献号: 191101 Using the latest AMS-02 cosmic-ray antiproton flux data, we search for a potential dark matter annihilation signal. The background parameters about the propagation, source injection, and solar modulation are not assumed a priori but based on the results inferred from the recent B/C ratio and proton data measurements instead. The possible dark matter signal is incorporated into the model self-consistently under a Bayesian framework. Compared with the astrophysical background-only hypothesis, we find that a dark matter signal is favored. The rest mass of the dark matter particles is similar to 20-80 GeV, and the velocity-averaged hadronic annihilation cross section is about (0.2-5) x 10(-26) cm(3) s(-1), in agreement with that needed to account for the Galactic center GeV excess and/or the weak GeV emission from dwarf spheroidal galaxies Reticulum 2 and Tucana III. Tight constraints on the dark matter annihilation models are also set in a wide mass region. 第 58 条,共 286 条 Light bending in infinite derivative theories of gravity Feng, L (Feng, Lei) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 卷: 95 期: 8 文献号: 084015 Light bending is one of the significant predictions of general relativity (GR) and it has been confirmed with great accuracy during the past one hundred years. In this paper, we semiclassically calculate the deflection angle for the photons that just graze the Sun in the infinite derivative theories of gravity (IDG) which is a ghost and singularity free theory of gravity. From our calculations, we find that the deflection angle. only depends on Lambda/E. theta -> theta(E) when Lambda/E -> infinity and decrease to zero when Lambda/E -> 0. The transition interval occurs at 10(4) < E/Lambda < 10(7). It should be pointed out that this model can be tested by the Chandra X-ray Observatory if 0.01 eV < Lambda < 0.1 eV. 第 59 条,共 286 条 53 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS Constraining the PopIII IMF with high-z GRBs Ma, Q (Ma, Q.); Maio, U (Maio, U.); Ciardi, B (Ciardi, B.); Salvaterra, R (Salvaterra, R.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 466 期: 1 页: 1140-1148 We study the signatures of enrichment from PopIII stars in observations of PopII GRBs (GRBIIs) at high redshift by using numerical N-body/hydrodynamical simulations including atomic and molecular cooling, star formation and metal spreading from stellar populations with different initial mass functions (IMFs), yields and lifetimes. PopIII and PopII star formation regimes are followed simultaneously and both a top-heavy and a Salpeter-like IMF for pristine PopIII star formation are adopted. We find that the fraction of GRBIIs hosted in a medium previously enriched by PopIII stars (PopIII-dominated) is model-independent. Typical abundance ratios, such as [Si/O] versus[C/O] and [Fe/C] versus[Si/C], can help to disentangle enrichment from massive and intermediate PopIII stars, while low-mass first stars are degenerate with regular PopII generations. The properties of galaxies hosting PopIII-dominated GRBIIs are not very sensitive to the particular assumption on the mass of the first stars. 第 60 条,共 286 条 Limits on dark matter annihilation cross sections to gamma-ray lines with subhalo distributions in N-body simulations and Fermi LAT data Liang, YF (Liang, Yun-Feng); Xia, ZQ (Xia, Zi-Qing); Duan, KK (Duan, Kai-Kai); Shen, ZQ (Shen, Zhao-Qiang); Li, X (Li, Xiang); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 卷: 95 期: 6 文献号: 063531 In this work, we simulate a set of realizations of the local volume dark matter subhalo population based on the distributions and relations derived from Via Lactea II N-body simulation. We calculate the J-factors of these subhalos, and find that the low mass subhalos contribute a lot to the total J-factors. Combining with 91 months of the Fermi LAT observation, we constrain on the cross section of dark matter annihilating directly to two gamma rays. This is the first work combining numerical simulation results and Fermi LAT observations to constrain the dark matter cross section to the gamma-ray line with the subhalo population. Though the constraints derived from the subhalo population are weaker than those from the Fermi LAT observation of the Galactic center, they are supportive of and complementary to these other results. 第 61 条,共 286 条 gamma-Ray emission signals in the massive graviton mediated dark matter model Zhang, C (Zhang, Cun); Cui, MY (Cui, Ming-Yang); Feng, L (Feng, Lei); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-Zhong); Ren, ZZ (Ren, Zhong-Zhou) NUCLEAR PHYSICS B 卷: 916 页: 208-218 Dark matter may interact with Standard Model (SM) particle through the exchange of a massive spin-2 graviton producing signals that can be detected. In this work we examine the gamma-ray emission signals, including the line emission and the continuous spectrum component in such a massive graviton-mediated dark matter model. The constraints of LHC data, dark matter relic density as well as the dark matter indirect detection data have been applied to narrow down the parameter space. We focus on the vector dark matter model which could produce detectable gamma-ray line signal. It is found that the gamma-ray line data is effective on constraining 54 the model parameters and the ongoing and upcoming space or ground-based gamma-ray experiments can constrain the model further. As for the continuous gamma-ray emission, the total effective annihilation cross section is similar to 10(-26) cm(3) s(-1) except at the region where dark matter mass is around the graviton mass or half of it, which is consistent with current observational data and will be reliably probed by the upcoming CTA.

The geometry-corrected energy is high, up to similar to 5.2 x 10(52) erg or even similar to 8 x 10(52) erg, rendering it the most energetic GRB prompt emission recorded so far. We analyzed the time-resolved spectra of the prompt emission and found that in some intervals there were likely thermal-radiation components and the high energy emission was characterized by significant cutoff. The bulk Lorentz factors of the outflow material are estimated accordingly. We found out that the Lorentz factors derived in the thermal- radiation model are consistent with the luminosity-Lorentz factor correlation found in other bursts, as well as in GRB 090902B for the time-esolved thermal-radiation components, while the spectral cutoff model yields much lower Lorentz factors that are in tension with the constraints set by the electron pair Compton scattering process. We then suggest that these spectral cutoffs are more likely related to the particle acceleration process and that one should be careful in estimating the Lorentz factors if the spectrum cuts at a rather low energy (e.g., similar to tens of MeV). The nature of the central engine has also been discussed, and a stellarmass black hole is favored. 第 63 条,共 286 条 Revisiting Quasi-periodic Modulation in gamma- Ray Blazar PKS 2155-304 with Fermi Pass 8 Data Zhang, PF (Zhang, Peng-fei); Yan, DH (Yan, Da-hai); Liao, NH (Liao, Neng-hui); Wang, JC (Wang, Jian-cheng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: 260 We examine the gamma-ray quasi-periodic variability of PKS 2155-304 with the latest publicly available Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data, which covers the years from 2008 August to 2016 October.

NATURE 卷: 551 期: 7678 页: 67-+ The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational-wave signal, and a transient optical-near-infrared source powered by the synthesis of large amounts of very heavy elements via rapid neutron capture (the r-process)(1-3). Such transients, named 'macronovae' or 'kilonovae'(4-7), are believed to be centres of production of rare elements such as gold and platinum(8). The most compelling evidence so far for a kilonova was a very faint near-infrared rebrightening in the afterglow of a short gamma-ray burst(9,10) at redshift z = 0.356, although findings indicating bluer events have been reported(11). Here we report the spectral identification and describe the physical properties of a bright kilonova associated with the gravitational-wave source(12) GW170817 and gamma-ray burst(13,14) GRB 170817A associated with a galaxy at a distance of 40 megaparsecs from Earth. Using a series of spectra from ground-based observatories covering the wavelength range from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared, we find that the kilonova is characterized by rapidly expanding ejecta with spectral features similar to those predicted by current models(15,16). The ejecta is optically thick early on, with a velocity of about 0.2 times light speed, and reaches a radius of about 50 astronomical units in only 1.5 days. As the ejecta expands, broad absorption-like lines appear on the spectral continuum, indicating atomic species produced by nucleosynthesis that occurs in the post-merger fast-moving dynamical ejecta and in two slower (0.05 times light speed) wind regions. Comparison with spectral models suggests that the merger ejected 0.03 to 0.05 solar masses of material, including high-opacity lanthanides. 第 65 条,共 286 条 An X-Ray Periodicity of similar to 1.8 hr in Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy Mrk 766 Zhang, P (Zhang, Peng); Zhang, PF (Zhang, Peng-fei); Yan, JZ (Yan, Jing-zhi); Fan, YZ (Fan, Yi-zhong); Liu, QZ (Liu, Qing-zhong) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 849 期: 1 文献号: 9 In the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766, a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signal with a period of similar to 6450 s is detected in the XMM-Newton data collected on 2005 May 31.

The X-ray intensity changed by a factor of 3, with a root mean square fractional variability of 14.3%. Furthermore, this QPO signal is present in the data of all three EPIC detectors and two RGS cameras and its frequency follows the f(QPO)-M-BH relation spanning from stellar-mass to supermassive black holes. Interestingly, a possible QPO signal with a period of similar to 4200 s had been reported in the literature. The frequency ratio of these two QPO signals is similar to 3:2. Our result is also in support of the hypothesis that the QPO signals can just be transient. The spectral analysis reveals that the contribution of the soft excess component below similar to 1 keV is different between epochs with and without QPO. This property, as well as the former frequency ratio, are well-detected in X-ray BH binaries, which may shed some light on the physical origins of our event. 第 66 条,共 286 条 Direct detection of a break in the teraelectronvolt cosmic-ray spectrum of electrons and positrons Ambrosi, G (Ambrosi, G.); An, Q (An, Q.); Asfandiyarov, R (Asfandiyarov, R.); Azzarello, P (Azzarello, P.); Bernardini, P (Bernardini, P.); Bertucci, B (Bertucci, B.); Cai, MS (Cai, M.

NATURE 卷: 552 期: 7683 页: 63-+ High-energy cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CREs), which lose energy quickly during their propagation, provide a probe of Galactic high-energy processes(1-7) and may enable the observation of phenomena such as dark-matter particle annihilation or decay(8-10). The CRE spectrum has been measured directly up to approximately 2 teraelectronvolts in previous balloon-or space-borne experiments(11-16), and indirectly up to approximately 5 teraelectronvolts using ground-based Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope arrays(17,18). Evidence for a spectral break in the teraelectronvolt energy range has been provided by indirect measurements(17,18), although the results were qualified by sizeable systematic uncertainties. Here we report a direct measurement of CREs in the energy range 25 gigaelectronvolts to 4.6 teraelectronvolts by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE)(19) with unprecedentedly high energy resolution and low background. The largest part of the spectrum can be well fitted by a 'smoothly broken power-law' model rather than a single power-law model. The direct detection of a spectral break at about 0.9 teraelectronvolts confirms the evidence found by previous indirect measurements(17,18), clarifies the behaviour of the CRE spectrum at energies above 1 teraelectronvolt and sheds light on the physical origin of the sub-teraelectronvolt CREs. 第 67 条,共 286 条 The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW 170817 Covino, S (Covino, S.); Wiersema, K (Wiersema, K.); Fan, YZ (Fan, Y.

NATURE ASTRONOMY 卷: 1 期: 11 页: 791-794 The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short-duration gamma ray burststs. In the process, neutron-rich material is ejected from the system and heavy elements are synthesized by r-process nucleosynthesis(1,3). The radioactive decay of these heavy elements produces additional transient radiation termed kilonova or macronova(4-10). We report the detection of linear optical polarization, P= (0.50 +/- 0.07)%, 1.46 days after detection of the GWs from GW170817-a double neutron star merger associated with an optical macronova counterpart and a short gamma ray burst(11-14). The optical emission from a macronova is expected to be characterized by a blue, rapidly decaying component and a red, more slowly evolving component due to material rich in heavy elements-the lanthanidess(15). The polarization measurement was made when the macronova was still in its blue phase, during which there was an important contribution from a lanthanide-free outflow. The low degree of polarization is consistent with intrinsically unpolarized emission scattered by galactic dust, suggesting a symmetric geometry of the emitting region and low inclination of the merger system. Stringent upper limits to the polarization degree from 2.45-9.48 days post-burst are consistent with the lanthanides-rich macronova interpretation. 第 68 条,共 286 条 GRB 111005A at z = 0.0133 and the Prospect of Establishing Long-Short GRB/GW Association Wang, Yuan-Zhu; Huang, Yong-Jia; Liang, Yun-Feng; Li, Xiang; Jin, Zhi-Ping; Zhang, Fu-Wen; Zou, Yuan-Chuan; Fan, Yi-Zhong; Wei, Da-Ming ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷号: 851, 期号:1, 页码:L20 GRB 111005A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) that occurred within a metal-rich environment that lacks massive stars with MZAMS >= 15M(circle dot), is not coincident with supernova emission down to a stringent limit and thus should be classified as a "long-short" GRB (lsGRB; also known as an SN-less long GRB or hybrid GRB), like GRB 060505 and GRB 060614. In this work, we show that in the neutron star merger model the non-detection of the optical/infrared emission of GRB 111005A requires sub-relativistic neutron-rich ejecta with a mass of <= 0.01 M-circle dot, which is (significantly) less massive than that of GRB 130603B, GRB 060614, GRB 050709, and GRB 170817A. The lsGRBs are found to have a high rate density and the neutron star merger origin model can be unambiguously tested by the joint observations of the second-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and the full-sky gamma-ray monitors such as Fermi-GBM and the proposed GECAM. If no lsGRB/GW association is observed in the 2020s, alternative scenarios have to be systematically investigated. With the detailed environmental information achievable for the nearby events, a novel kind of merger or explosion origin may be identified.

The purpose of this tool LIKEDM, likelihood calculator for dark matter detection - is to bridge the gap between a particle model of DM and the observational data. The intermediate steps between these two, including the astrophysical backgrounds, the propagation of charged particles, the analysis of Fermi gamma-ray data, as well as the DM velocity distribution and the nuclear form factor, have been dealt with in the code. We release the first version (v1.0) focusing on the constraints from indirect detection of DM with charged cosmic and gamma rays. Direct detection will be implemented in the next version. This manual describes the framework, usage, and related physics of the code.

The photon spectrum of this source is best described by a power law with an index of 1.85 +/- 0.17 in the energy range of 3-500 GeV, and the measured flux connects smoothly with that of HESS J1427 -608 at a few hundred gigaelectronvolts. This source shows no significant extension and time variation. The broadband GeV to TeV emission over four decades of energies can be well fitted by a single power-law function with an index of 2.0, without obvious indication of spectral cutoff toward high energies. Such a result implies that HESS J1427-608 may be a PeV particle accelerator. We discuss the possible nature of HESS J1427-608 according to the multiwavelength spectral fittings. Given the relatively large errors, either a leptonic or a hadronic model can explain the multiwavelength data from radio to VHE gamma-rays. The inferred magnetic field strength is a few micro-Gauss, which is smaller than the. typical values of supernova remnants (SNRs). and is consistent with some pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). On the other hand, the flat gamma-ray spectrum is slightly different from typical PWNe but is. similar to that of some known SNRs. 第 71 条,共 286 条 On-orbit Status and Light Attenuation Behavior of the DAMPE-PSD Li Yao; Zhang Yapeng; Zhang Yongjie; Sun Zhiyu; Yu Yuhong; Dong Tiekuang; Ma Pengxiong; Wang Yuanpeng; Yuan Qiang Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 6 页 : 54-1-54-9 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:6<54:AWZLZT>2.0.TX;2-9 The DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE) is a high-resolution multi-purpose space-borne device for detecting the high-energy cosmic-rays like e, gamma-rays, protons, and heavy-ions, which was launched on 2015 December 17th. The Plastic Scintillator Detector(PSD) is the top-most sub-detector of DAMPE. The PSD is designed to measure the charge of incident high-energy particles, and to serve as a veto detector for discriminating gamma-rays from the charged particles. In this paper, the on-orbit status of the PSD after launching in terms of high voltage(HV) and temperature stabilities is presented. The temperature and the HV variations of the PSD are less than 1°C and 0.5%, respectively. By using the on-orbit data, the attenuation lengths of PSD bars are obtained according to an empirical formula. A preliminary charge spectrum reconstructed from the X-layer of the PSD is obtained. 第 72 条,共 286 条 A radiation transfer model for the Milky Way: I.

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 470 期: 3 页: 2539-2558 We present a solution for the ultraviolet - submillimetre (submm) interstellar radiation fields (ISRFs) of the Milky Way (MW), derived from modelling COBE, IRAS and Planck maps of the all-sky emission in the near-, mid-, far-infrared and submm. The analysis uses the axisymmetric radiative transfer model that we have previously implemented to model the panchromatic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe, but with a new methodology allowing for optimization of the radial and vertical geometry of stellar emissivity and dust opacity, as deduced from the highly resolved emission seen from the vantage point of the Sun. As such, this is the first self-consistent model of the broad-band continuum emission from the MW. In this paper, we present model predictions for the spatially integrated SED of the MW as seen from the Sun, showing good agreement with the data, and give a detailed description of the solutions for the distribution of ISRFs, as well as their physical origin, throughout the volume of the galaxy. We explore how the spatial and spectral distributions of our 57 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS new predictions for the ISRF in the MW affects the amplitude and spectral distributions of the gamma rays produced via inverse Compton scattering for cosmic ray (CR) electrons situated at different positions in the galaxy, as well as the attenuation of the gamma rays due to interactions of the gamma-ray photons with photons of the ISRF. We also compare and contrast our solutions for the ISRF with those incorporated in the GALPROP package used for modelling the high-energy emission from CR in the MW. been found and its gammaray spectrum is well fitted by the dark matter annihilation into b (b) over bar with a mass of similar to 43 GeV. All these facts make 3FGL J1924.8-1034 a possible dark matter subhalo candidate. However, due to the limited angular resolution, the possibility of that the spatial extension of 3FGL J1924.8-1034 is caused by the contamination from the other unresolved point source cannot be ruled out. 第 75 条,共 286 条 第 73 条,共 286 条 Compact Resolved Ejecta in the Nearest Tidal Disruption Event Perlman, ES (Perlman, Eric S.); Meyer, ET (Meyer, Eileen T.); Wang, QD (Wang, Q.

NGC 4845 (d - 17 Mpc) was host to a TDE, IGR J12580 vertical bar 0134, detected in 2010 November. Its proximity offers us a unique close-up of the TDE and its aftermath. We discuss new Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations, which show that the radio flux from the active nucleus created by the TDE has decayed in a manner consistent with predictions from a jet-circumnuclear medium interaction model. This model explains the source's broadband spectral evolution, which shows a spectral peak that has moved from the submillimeter (at the end of 2010) to GHz radio frequencies (in 2011-2013) to < 1 GHz in 2015. The milliarcsecond-scale core is circularly polarized at 1.5 GHz but not at 5 GHz, consistent with the model. The VLBA images show a complex structure at 1.5 GHz that includes an east-west extension that is similar to 40 mas (3 pc) long, as well as a resolved component that is 52 mas (4.1 pc) northwest of the flat-spectrum core, which is all that can be seen at 5 GHz. If ejected in 2010, the northwest component must have had v = 0.96c over five years. However, this is unlikely, as our model suggests strong deceleration to speeds < 0.5c within months and a much smaller, sub-parsec size. In this interpretation, the northwest component could have either a non-nuclear origin or be from an earlier event. 第 74 条,共 286 条 3FGL J1924.8-1034: A spatially extended stable unidentified GeV source?

A linear correlation of the solar modulation parameter with solar activities is assumed to account for the time-varying cosmic ray fluxes. A comprehensive set of propagation models, with or without reacceleration or convection, has been discussed and compared. We find that only the models with reacceleration can self-consistently fit both the proton and B/C data. The rigidity dependence slope of the diffusion coefficient, delta, is found to be about 0.38-0.50 for the diffusion-reacceleration models. The plain diffusion and diffusion-convection models fit the data poorly. We compare different model predictions of the positron and antiprotonfluxes with the data. We find that the diffusion-reacceleration models overproduce low energy positrons, while nonreacceleration models give better fit to the data. As for antiprotons, reacceleration models tend to underpredict low energy antiproton fluxes, unless a phenomenological modification of the velocity dependence of the diffusion coefficient is applied. Our results suggest that there could be important differences of the propagation for nuclei and leptons, in either the Milky Way or the solar heliosphere. 第 77 条,共 286 条 Calibrating a physical model based on Geant4 to calculate cosmogenic nuclide production rates on lunar surface Chen, J (Chen, Jian); Dong, TK (Dong, Tiekuang); Ren, ZZ (Ren, Zhongzhou) Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE 卷: 52 期: 4 页: 646-655 A physical model based on the open-source toolkit Geant4 for production rates of cosmogenic nuclei on the lunar surface is proposed and calibrated. The fluxes of proton and neutron beneath the lunar surface are obtained by simulating the physical processes between the cosmic-ray particles and the lunar surface material. By combining the experimental proton cross sections and the a posteriori neutron cross sections, we calculate the production rate depth profiles of long-lived nuclei (Be-10, C-14, Al-26, Cl-36, and Mn-53). Through comparing experimental and theoretical data for these nuclei, we find that for all the selected nuclei, experimental and theoretical production rate depth profiles agree well with each other by introducing a single normalization factor. It means that the physical model based on Geant4 can also reproduce the depth profiles of cosmogenic nuclei, and that this model can be used by everyone worldwide. In addition, we predict the production rates of three stable nuclei (Ne-21, Ne-22, and Ar-38). 第 78 条,共 286 条 AMS-02 positron excess and indirect detection of three-body decaying dark matter Cheng, HC (Cheng, Hsin-Chia); Huang, WC (Huang, Wei-Chih); Huang, XY (Huang, Xiaoyuan); Low, I (Low, Ian); Tsai, YLS (Tsai, Yue-Lin Sming); Yuan, Q (Yuan, Qiang) JOURNAL OF COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS 期: 3 文献号: 041 We consider indirect detection of meta-stable dark matter particles decaying into a stable neutral particle and a pair of standard model fermions. Due to the softer energy spectra from the three-body decay, such models could potentially explain the AMS-02 positron excess without being constrained by the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data and the cosmic ray anti-proton measurements. We scrutinize over different final state fermions, paying special attention to handling of the cosmic ray background and including various contributions from cosmic ray propagation with the help of the Like DM package. It is found that primary decays into an electron-positron pair and a stable neutral particle could give rise to the AMS-02 positron excess and, at the same time, stay unscathed against the gamma-ray and antiproton constraints. Decays to a muon pair or a mixed flavor electron-muon pair may also be viable depending on the propagation models. Decays to all other standard model fermions are severely disfavored. 第 79 条,共 286 条 Thermal Design and Validation of DAMPE BGO Calorimeter Hu Yiming; Chang Jin; Chen Dengyi; Liu Shubin; Feng Changqing; Zhang Yunlong Chinese Journal of Space Science 卷 : 37 期 : 1 页 : 114-121 文 献 号 : 0254-6124(2017)37:1<114:YWZLZT>2.0.TX;2-# Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is one of the first scientific exploration satellites of China, aiming to search dark matter by measuring the spectrum of electron/positron and gamma ray. DAMPE mainly consists of four sub-detectors including Plastic Scintillator Detector (PSD), Silicon Tungsten Tracker (STK), BGO Calorimeter (BGO) and Neutron Detector (NUD). As the most important sub-detector of DAMPE, BGO calorimeter plays a key role in precisely measuring energy of the incident cosmic ray and identifying particles. In this paper, thermal design of the calorimeter is introduced. Based on this design, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on temperature field of the BGO calorimeter is performed with the given on-orbit conditions. In the end, Thermal Vacuum (TV) test has been carried out in March, 2015 to prove the FEA is correct and the methodology in this paper is effective. 第 80 条,共 286 条 Synthesis of ZnO nanoporous structure materials by two-step thermal oxidation of Zn film Xu, Q (Xu, Qiang); Hong, RD (Hong, Rongdun); Chen, XP (Chen, Xiaping); Wei, JJ (Wei, Jiaju); Wu, ZY (Wu, Zhengyun) CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL 卷: 43 期: 18 页: 16391-16394 We describe the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures materials on quartz substrates by a simple two-step thermal oxidation process. Firstly, a thin layer of metallic Zn films are oxidized in nitrogen atmosphere at 350 degrees C, and then the samples annealed at high temperature (from 600 to 800 degrees C) to improve the crystal quality. The properties of the materials are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy at room temperature. The results show that nano porous structure materials have been formed after the samples annealed at high temperature. Since the small grain size and grain boundary induced effect of conduction band bending, the optical band gap shifts to low energy. 第 81 条,共 286 条 CALIFA reveals prolate rotation in massive early-type galaxies: A polar galaxy merger origin? Tsatsi, A (Tsatsi, A.); Lyubenova, M (Lyubenova, M.); de Ven, GV (de Ven, G. van); Chang, J (Chang, J.); Aguerri, JAL (Aguerri, J. A. L.); Falcon-Barroso, J (Falcon-Barroso, J.); Maccio, AV (Maccio, A. V.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 606 文献号: A62 We present new evidence for eight early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the CALIFA Survey that show clear rotation around their major photometric axis ("prolate rotation"). These are LSBCF560-04, NGC 0647, NGC 0810, NGC 2484, NGC 4874, NGC 5216, NGC 6173, and NGC 6338. Including NGC 5485, a known case of an ETG with stellar prolate rotation, as well as UGC 10695, a further candidate for prolate rotation, we report ten CALIFA galaxies in total that show evidence for such a feature in their stellar kinematics. Prolate rotators correspond to similar to 9% of the volume-corrected sample of CALIFA ETGs, a fraction much higher than previously reported. We find that prolate rotation is more common (similar to 27%) among the most massive ETGs (M* greater than or similar to 2x 10(11) M circle dot). We investigated the implications of these findings by studying N-body merger simulations, and we show that a prolate ETG with rotation around its major axis could be the result of a major polar merger, with the amplitude of prolate rotation depending on the initial bulgeto-total stellar mass ratio of its progenitor galaxies. Additionally, we find that prolate ETGs resulting from this formation scenario show a correlation between their stellar line-of-sight velocity and higher order moment h(3), opposite to typical oblate ETGs, as well as a double peak of their stellar velocity dispersion along their minor axis. Finally, we investigated the origin of prolate rotation in polar galaxy merger remnants. Our findings suggest that prolate rotation in massive ETGs might be more common than previously expected, and can help toward a better understanding of their dynamical structure and formation origin. 第 82 条,共 286 条 The DArk Matter Particle Explorer mission Chang, J (Chang, J.); Ambrosi, G (Ambrosi, G.); An, Q (An, Q.); 59 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS Asfandiyarov, R (Asfandiyarov, R.); Azzarello, P (Azzarello, P.); Bernardini, P (Bernardini, P.); Bertucci, B (Bertucci, B.); Cai, MS (Cai, M.

ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS 卷: 95 页: 6-24 The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), one of the four scientific space science missions within the framework of the Strategic Pioneer Program on Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is a general purpose high energy cosmic-ray and gamma-ray observatory, which was successfully launched on December 17th, 2015 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The DAMPE scientific objectives include the study of galactic cosmic rays up to similar to 10 TeV and hundreds of TeV for electrons/gammas and nuclei respectively, and the search for dark matter 60 signatures in their spectra. In this paper we illustrate the layout of the DAMPE instrument, and discuss the results of beam tests and calibrations performed on ground.

By directly comparing MIP calibration constants used by the DAMPE data production pipe line, we find an experimental relation between the temperature and signal amplitudes of each BGO bar: a general deviation of -1.162%/degrees C, and -0.47%/degrees C to -1.60%/degrees C statistically for each detector element. During 2016, DAMPE's temperature changed by similar to 8 degrees C due to solar elevation angle, and the corresponding energy scale bias is about 9%. By frequent MIP calibration operation, this kind of bias is eliminated to an acceptable value. 第 85 条,共 286 条 Validation of the Ability of Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo for Studying the 2D Hubbard Model Yun, SJ (Yun, Su-Jun); Dong, TK (Dong, Tie-Kuang); Zhu, SN (Zhu, Shi-Ning) CHINESE PHYSICS LETTERS 卷: 34 期: 8 文献号: 080201 To validate the ability of full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) for studying the 2D Hubbard model near half-filling regime, the ground state energies of a 4 x 4 square lattice system with various interaction strengths are calculated. It is found that the calculated results are in good agreement with those obtained by exact diagonalization (i.e., the exact values for a given basis set) when the population of psi particles (psips) is higher than the critical population required to correctly sample the ground state wave function. Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 In addition, the variations of the average computational time per 20 Monte Carlo cycles with the coupling strength and the number of processors are also analyzed. The calculated results show that the computational efficiency of an FCIQMC calculation is mainly affected by the total population of psips and the communication between processors. These results can provide useful references for understanding the FCIQMC algorithm, studying the ground state properties of the 2D Hubbard model for the larger system size by the FCIQMC method and using a computational budget as effectively as possible. a time delay up to 20 ms). In the rise phase of the pulse, the low-frequency aperiodic variability is enhanced significantly and there is a prominent hard lag (with a time delay up to 50 ms), indicating that the variability is induced by extension of the disc towards small radii as implied by the increase in flux and propagates into the corona. However, during the hard pulse of the double-peaked class, the variability shows no significant lag, which may be attributed to an optically thick corona. These timing results are generally consistent with the spectral results presented by Neilsen, Remillard & Lee which indicated that the slow rise phase corresponds to a local Eddington limit and the rise phase of the pulse corresponds to a radiation pressure instability in the disc. 第 86 条,共 286 条 第 88 条,共 286 条 Statistical study of co-rotating interaction region properties with STEREO and ACE observations Joint fit of Warm Absorbers in COS and HETG spectra of NGC 3783 Yu Huang Qi-Wu Song Dong Li Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics 卷: 31 期: 8 We analyzed the data on co-rotating interaction regions(CIRs) measured by the Advanced Composition Explorer(ACE) and Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory(STEREO) from 2007 to2010. The CIRs were observed by STEREO B(STB), ACE and STEREO A(STA) one after another, and a total of 28 CIRs were identified in this work. Since the same characteristics of CIRs were detected by these three spacecraft at three different locations and times, these data can help us to study the evolutions of CIRs. For a single event, the properties of CIRs observed by the three spacecraft were quite different and could be explained by spatial or temporal variations. For all these 28 CIRs,STA and STB observed similar mean parameters, such as peak magnetic field strength(offset 11%), peak and change in solar wind speed(offset 3% and 10% respectively), peak proton temperature(offset 14%) and peak perpendicular pressure(offset 15%). Surprisingly, STA detected much higher(41%) peak density of protons than STB.

Using XSTAR generated photoionization models, for the first time we present a joint fit to the simultaneous observations of HST/COS and Chandra/HETG on NGC 3783. A total of five WAs explain well all absorption features from the AGN outflows, which are spread over a wide range of parameters: ionization parameter log xi from 0.6 to 3.8, column density log N-H from 19.5 to 22.3 cm(-2), velocity v from 380 to 1060 km s(-1), and covering factor from 0.33 to 0.75. Not all the five WAs are consistent in pressure. Two of them are likely different parts of the same absorbing gas, and two of the other WAs may be smaller discrete clouds that are blown out from the inner region of the torus at different periods. The five WAs suggest a total mass outflowing rate within the range of 0.22-4.1 solar mass per year. 第 89 条,共 286 条 1-07 UV/X-ray Astronomy Research Group 第 87 条,共 286 条 A timing view of the heartbeat state of GRS 1915+105 Yan, SP (Yan, Shu-Ping); Ji, L (Ji, Li); Mendez, M (Mendez, Mariano); Liu, SM (Liu, Si-Ming); Wang, N (Wang, Na); Li, XD (Li, Xiang-Dong); Ge, MY (Ge, Ming-Yu); Liao, JY (Liao, Jin-Yuan); Niu, S (Niu, Shu); Qu, JL (Qu, Jin-Lu); Ding, GQ (Ding, Guo-Qiang); Liu, QZ (Liu, Qing-Zhong); Sun, W (Sun, Wei) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 465 期: 2 页: 1926-1933 We present a timing analysis of two Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the micro-quasar GRS 1915+ 105 during the heartbeat state. The phase-frequency-power maps show that the intermediate-frequency aperiodic X-ray variability weakens as the source softens in the slow rise phase, and when the quasi-periodic oscillation disappears in the rise phase of the pulse of the double-peaked class, its sub-harmonic is still present with a hard phase lag. In the slow rise phase, the energy-frequency-power maps show that most of the aperiodic variability is produced in the corona, and may also induce the aperiodic variability observed at low energies from an accretion disc, which is further supported by the soft phase lag especially in the intermediate-frequency range (with Current Investigations on Young Star Cluster NGC 3603 in X-ray Wang Qian; Sun Wei; Ji Li Progress in Astronomy 卷 : 35 期 : 1 页 : 1-15 文 献 号 : 1000-8349(2017)35:1<1:YHXNQX>2.0.TX;2-C NGC 3603 is a dense young cluster located in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way. The mechanical energy released by the winds from massive stars alters the property of the ambient medium, and has very important influences on the star formation and the galaxy evolution process. The X-ray emission in massive star formation region is produced by the pre-main sequence star, OB star, and diffuse hot gas etc. In this paper, we reviewed the X-ray radiation mechanisms of those three kinds of sources and presented the X-ray radiation of point sources and diffuse hot gas in NGC 3603, respectively. For the point sources, Moffat et al.(2002)detected the X-rays from 43 early-type sources, and found that they follow the canonical relationship between the X-ray luminosity and the bolometric luminosity: L_X/L_(bol) ~ 10~(-7). They also found that MTT 68 and MTT 71, two O stars far away from the core region, have enhanced X-ray emission: L_X/L_(bol) ~ 10-5. For the diffuse emission, Townsley et al.(2011)found that the diffuse plasma in NGC 3603 is in nonequilibrium state. Ji et al.(2006)fitted the diffuse X-rays in the central annulus region with the 1-D self-consistent non-equilibrium ionization cluster wind model, and determined related stellar wind parameters. Besides that, they both found that the X-rays from un-resolved 61 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS pre-main sequence stars contribute ~ 10% in total X-ray luminosity. The prospect of X-ray research on NGC 3603 based on the archival 0.5 Ms Chandra observation is also discussed in 62 the end. Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 II.

The results show that anisotropy has no substantial influence on pulsation stability of g modes and low- order (radial order n(r) < 5) p modes. The effect of turbulent anisotropy increases as the radial order increases. When turbulent anisotropy is neglected, most high- order ( n(r) > 5) p modes of all low-temperature stars become unstable. Fortunately, within a wide range of the anisotropic parameter c(3), stellar pulsation stability is not sensitive to the specific value of c(3.) Therefore it is safe to say that calibration errors of the convective parameter c (3) do not cause any uncertainty in the calculation of stellar pulsation stability. 第 91 条,共 286 条 Turbulent Convection and Pulsation Stability of Stars Xiong Darun Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 2 页 : 10-1-10-17 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:2<10:TDDLYB>2.0.TX;2-4 The controversies about the excitation mechanism for cool variables are reviewed: (1) Most people believe that gamma Doradus stars are excited by so called convective blocking. Our researches show that the excitation of gamma Doradus has no difference from that of delta Scuti. They are two subgroups of a broader type of delta Stuti-gamma Doradus stars: delta Scuti is the p-mode subgroup, while gamma Doradus is the g-mode subgroup. (2) Most people believe that the Solar- and Solar-like oscillations of stars are damped by convection, and they are excited by so called stochastic effects of turbulence. Our researches show that convection is not solely a damping mechanism for stellar oscillations, otherwise it is not able to explain the excitation of Mira and Mira-like stars. It can be repeated not only the delta Scuti and gamma Doradus strip, but also the characteristics of Solar-like and Mira-like oscillations, respectively, for the lowand high- luminosity red stars by using our non-local and time-dependent theory of convection. 2-02 Center for Antarctic Astronomy 第 92 条,共 286 条 INTERSTELLAR-MEDIUM MAPPING IN M82 THROUGH LIGHT ECHOES AROUND SUPERNOVA 2014 J Yang, Y (Yang, Yi); Wang, LF (Wang, Lifan); Baade, D (Baade, Dietrich); Brown, PJ (Brown, Peter.

Craig) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 834 期: 1 文献号: 60 We present multiple-epoch measurements of the size and surface brightness of the light echoes from supernova (SN) 2014J in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ACS/WFC images were taken similar to 277 and similar to 416 days after B-band maximum in the filters F475W, F606W, and F775W. Observations with HST WFC3/UVIS images at epochs similar to 216 and similar to 365 days are included for a more complete analysis. The images reveal the temporal evolution of at least two major light-echo components. The first one exhibits a filled ring structure with position-angle-dependent intensity. This radially extended, diffuse echo indicates the presence of an inhomogeneous interstellar dust cloud ranging from similar to 100 to similar to 500 pc in the foreground of the SN. The second echo component appears as an unresolved luminous quarter-circle arc centered on the SN. The wavelength dependence of scattering measured in different dust components suggests that the dust producing the luminous arc favors smaller grain sizes, while that causing the diffuse light echo may have sizes similar to those of the Milky Way dust. Smaller grains can produce an optical depth consistent with that along the supernova-Earth line of sight measured by previous studies around maximum light. Therefore, it is possible that the dust slab from which the luminous arc arises is also responsible for most of the extinction toward SN. 2014J. The optical depths determined from the Milky Way-like dust in the scattering matters are lower than the optical depth produced by the dust slab. 第 93 条,共 286 条 Optical Sky Brightness and Transparency during the Winter Season at Dome A Antarctica from the Gattini-All-Sky Camera Yang, Y (Yang, Yi); Moore, AM (Moore, Anna M.); Krisciunas, 63 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS K (Krisciunas, Kevin); Wang, LF (Wang, Lifan); Ashley, MCB (Ashley, Michael C.

Gattini is a wide-field camera installed on the PLATO instrument module as part of the Chinese-led traverse to Dome A in 2009 January. We present here the measurements of sky brightness with the Gattini ultra-large field of view (90 degrees X 90 degrees) in the photometric B-, V-, and R-bands; cloud cover statistics measured during the 2009 winter season; and an estimate of the sky transparency. A cumulative probability distribution indicates that the darkest 10% of the nights at Dome A have sky brightness of S-B = 22.98, S-V = 21.86, and S-R = 21.68 mag arcsec(-2). These values were obtained during the year 2009 with minimum aurora, and they are comparable to the faintest sky brightness at Maunakea and the best sites of northern Chile. Since every filter includes strong auroral lines that effectively contaminate the sky brightness measurements, for instruments working around the auroral lines, either with custom filters or with high spectral resolution instruments, these values could be easily obtained on a more routine basis. In addition, we present example light curves for bright targets to emphasize the unprecedented observational window function available from this ground-based site. These light curves will be published in a future paper. 第 94 条,共 286 条 IC 630: Piercing the Veil of the Nuclear Gas Durre, M (Durre, Mark); Mould, J (Mould, Jeremy); Schartmann, M (Schartmann, Marc); Uddin, SA (Uddin, Syed Ashraf); Cotter, G (Cotter, Garrett) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 2 文献号: 102 IC 630 is a nearby early-type galaxy with a mass of 6 x 10(10) M-circle dot with an intense burst of recent (6Myr) star formation (SF). It shows strong nebular emission lines, with radio and X-ray emission, which classifies it as an active galactic nucleus (AGN). With VLT-SINFONI and Gemini North-NIFS adaptive optics observations (plus supplementary ANU 2.3m WiFeS optical IFU observations), the excitation diagnostics of the nebular emission species show no sign of standard AGN engine excitation; the stellar velocity dispersion also indicates that a supermassive black hole (if one is present) is small (M. = 2.25 x 10(5)M(circle dot)). The luminosity at all wavelengths is consistent with SF at a rate of about 1-2M(circle dot) yr(-1). We measure gas outflows driven by SF at a rate of 0.18M(circle dot) yr(-1) in a face-on truncated cone geometry. We also observe a nuclear cluster or disk and other clusters. Photoionization from young, hot stars is the main excitation mechanism for [Fe II] and hydrogen, whereas shocks are responsible for the H-2 excitation. Our observations are broadly comparable 64 with simulations where a Toomre-unstable, self-gravitating gas disk triggers a burst of SF, peaking after about 30 Myr and possibly cycling with a period of about 200 Myr. 第 95 条,共 286 条 Evolution of Mass and Velocity Field in the Cosmic Web: Comparison Between Baryonic and Dark Matter Zhu, WS (Zhu, Weishan); Feng, LL (Feng, Long-Long) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 1 文献号: 21 We investigate the evolution of the cosmic web since z. =. 5 in grid-based cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, focusing on the mass and velocity fields of both baryonic and cold dark matter. The tidal tensor of density is used as the main method for web identification, with lambda(th). =. 0.2-1.2. The evolution trends in baryonic and dark matter are similar, although moderate differences are observed. Sheets appear early, and their large-scale pattern may have been set up by z. =. 3. In terms of mass, filaments supersede sheets as the primary collapsing structures from z. similar to 2-3. Tenuous filaments assembled with each other to form prominent ones at z. <.. 2. In accordance with the construction of the frame of the sheets, the cosmic divergence velocity, vdiv, was already welldeveloped above 2-3 Mpc by z. =. 3. Afterwards, the curl velocity, vcurl, grew dramatically along with the rising of filaments, becoming comparable to vdiv, for < 2-3 Mpc at z. =. 0. The scaling of vcurl can be described by the hierarchical turbulence model. The alignment between the vorticity and the eigenvectors of the shear tensor in the baryonic matter field resembles that in the dark matter field, and is even moderately stronger between w and e1, and. and e3. Compared with dark matter, there is slightly less baryonic matter found residing in filaments and clusters, and its vorticity developed more significantly below 2-3 Mpc. These differences may be underestimated because of the limited resolution and lack of star formation in our simulation. The impact of the change of dominant structures in overdense regions at z. similar to 2-3 on galaxy formation and evolution is shortly discussed. 第 96 条,共 286 条 Superluminous Supernovae at High Redshift Abbott, T (Abbott, Tim); Cooke, J (Cooke, Jeff); Curtin, C (Curtin, Chris); Joudaki, S (Joudaki, Shahab); Katsianis, A (Katsianis, Antonios); Koekemoer, A (Koekemoer, Anton); Mould, J (Mould, Jeremy); Tescari, E (Tescari, Edoardo); Uddin, S (Uddin, Syed); Wang, LF (Wang, Lifan) PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA 卷: 34 文献号: e012 Superluminous supernovae are beginning to be discovered at redshifts as early as the epoch of reionisation.

Here, we present the results of an i-band images survey from AST3-1 toward one Galactic disk field. Based on time-series photometry of 92,583 stars, 560 variable stars were detected with i magnitude <= 16.5 mag during eight days of observations; 339 of these are previously unknown variables. We tentatively classify the 560 variables as 285 eclipsing binaries ( EW, EB, and EA), 27 pulsating variable stars (delta Scuti, gamma Doradus, delta Cephei variable, and RR Lyrae stars), and 248 other types of variables ( unclassified periodic, multiperiodic, and aperiodic variable stars). Of the eclipsing binaries, 34 show O'Connell effects. One of the aperiodic variables shows a plateau light curve and another variable shows a secondary maximum after peak brightness. We also detected a complex binary system with an RS CVn-like light-curve morphology; this object is being followed-up spectroscopically using the Gemini South telescope.

Observations of these deep fields take advantage of the high red sensitivity of DECam on the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory Blanco telescope. The survey includes the Y band with rest wavelength 1430{\AA} at z = 6. Survey fields (the Prime field 0555-6130, the 16hr field 1600-75 and the SUDSS New Southern Field) are deeper in Y than other infrared surveys. They are circumpolar, allowing all night to be used efficiently, exploiting the moon tolerance of 1 micron observations to minimize conflict with the Dark Energy Survey. As an i-band dropout (meaning that the flux decrement shortward of Lyman alpha is in the i bandpass), the transient we report here is a supernova candidate with z ~ 6, with a luminosity comparable to the brightest known current epoch superluminous supernova (i.e., ~ 2 x 10^11 solar luminosities). 第 98 条,共 286 条 Childress, MJ (Childress, M.

The host-selected sample is representative of SN samples that will use the redshift of the host to infer the SN redshift, long after the SN has faded from view. We find that SNe Ia that are selected on the availability of a redshift from the host differ from SNe Ia that are from the broader sample. The former tend to be redder, have narrower light curves, live in more massive hosts, and tend to be at lower redshifts. We find that constraints on the equation of state of dark energy, omega, and the matter density, Omega(M), remain consistent between these two types of samples. Our results are important for ongoing and future supernova surveys, which unlike previous supernova surveys, will have limited real-time follow-up to spectroscopically classify the SNe they discover. Most of the redshifts in these surveys will come from the hosts. 第 99 条,共 286 条 Detection of a possible superluminous supernova in the Epoch of Reionization Mould, J (Mould, Jeremy); Abbott, T (Abbott, Tim); Cooke, J (Cooke, Jeff); Curtin, C (Curtin, Chris); Katsianis, A (Katsianis, Antonios); Koekemoer, A (Koekemoer, Anton); Tescari, E (Tescari, Edoardo); Uddin, S (Uddin, Syed); Wang, LF (Wang, 第 100 条,共 286 条 OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: 3-yr results and first data release 65 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS M (Soares-Santos, M.); Sobreira, F (Sobreira, F.); Sommer, NE (Sommer, N.

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 472 期: 1 页: 273-288 We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre positioner and AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. OzDES is a multi-object spectroscopic survey targeting multiple types of targets at multiple epochs over a multiyear baseline and is one of the first multi-object spectroscopic surveys to dynamically include transients into the target list soon after their discovery. At the end of three years, OzDES has spectroscopically confirmed almost 100 supernovae, and has measured redshifts for 17 000 objects, including the redshifts of 2566 supernova hosts. We examine how our ability to measure redshifts for targets of various types depends on signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), magnitude and exposure time, finding that our redshift success rate increases significantly at a S/N of 2-3 per 1-angstrom bin. We also find that the change in S/N with exposure time closely matches the Poisson limit for stacked exposures as long as 10 h. We use these results to predict the redshift yield of the full OzDES survey, as well as the potential yields of future surveys on other facilities such as (i.e. the 4-m Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope, the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph and the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer). This work marks the first OzDES data release, comprising 14 693 redshifts. OzDES is on target to obtain over 30 000 redshifts over the 6-yr duration of the survey, including a yield of approximately 5700 supernova host-galaxy redshifts. 第 101 条,共 286 条 The Influence of Host Galaxies in Type Ia Supernova Cosmology Uddin, SA (Uddin, Syed A.); Mould, J (Mould, Jeremy); Lidman, C (Lidman, Chris); Ruhlmann-Kleider, V (Ruhlmann-Kleider, Vanina); Zhang, BR (Zhang, Bonnie R.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 848 期: 1 文献号: 56 We use a sample of 1338 spectroscopically confirmed and photometrically classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) sourced from Carnegie Supernova Project, Center for Astrophysics Supernova Survey, Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II, and SuperNova Legacy Survey SN samples to examine the relationships between SNe Ia and the galaxies that host them. Our results provide confirmation with improved statistical significance that SNe Ia, after standardization, are on average more luminous in massive hosts (significance. > 5 sigma), and decline more rapidly in massive hosts (significance. > 9 sigma) and in hosts with low specific star formation rates (significance. > 8 sigma). We study the variation of these relationships with redshift and detect no evolution. We split SNe Ia into pairs of subsets that are based on the properties of the hosts and fit cosmological models to each subset. Including both systematic and statistical uncertainties, we do not find any significant shift in the best-fit cosmological parameters between the subsets. Among different SN Ia subsets, we find that SNe Ia in hosts 66 with high specific star formation rates have the least intrinsic scatter (sigma(int) = 0.08 +/- 0.01) in luminosity after standardization. 第 102 条,共 286 条 A hybrid type Ia supernova with an early flash triggered by helium-shell detonation Jiang, JA (Jiang, Ji-an); Doi, M (Doi, Mamoru); Maeda, K (Maeda, Keiichi); Shigeyama, T (Shigeyama, Toshikazu); Nomoto, K (Nomoto, Ken'ichi); Yasuda, N (Yasuda, Naoki); Jha, SW (Jha, Saurabh W.); Tanaka, M (Tanaka, Masaomi); Morokuma, T (Morokuma, Tomoki); Tominaga, N (Tominaga, Nozomu); Ivezic, Z (Ivezic, Zeljko); Ruiz-Lapuente, P (Ruiz-Lapuente, Pilar); Stritzinger, MD (Stritzinger, Maximilian D.); Mazzali, PA (Mazzali, Paolo A.); Ashall, C (Ashall, Christopher); Mould, J (Mould, Jeremy); Baade, D (Baade, Dietrich); Suzuki, N (Suzuki, Nao); Connolly, AJ (Connolly, Andrew J.); Patat, F (Patat, Ferdinando); Wang, LF (Wang, Lifan); Yoachim, P (Yoachim, Peter); Jones, D (Jones, David); Furusawa, H (Furusawa, Hisanori); Miyazaki, S (Miyazaki, Satoshi) NATURE 卷: 550 期: 7674 页: 80-+ Type Ia supernovae arise from the thermonuclear explosion of white-dwarf stars that have cores of carbon and oxygen(1,2). The uniformity of their light curves makes these supernovae powerful cosmological distance indicators(3,4), but there have long been debates about exactly how their explosion is triggered and what kind of companion stars are involved(2,5,6). For example, the recent detection of the early ultraviolet pulse of a peculiar, subluminous type Ia supernova has been claimed as evidence for an interaction between a red-giant or a main-sequence companion and ejecta from a whited-warf explosion(7,8). Here we report observations of a prominent but red optical flash that appears about half a day after the explosion of a type Ia supernova. This supernova shows hybrid features of different supernova subclasses, namely a light curve that is typical of normal-brightness supernovae, but with strong titanium absorption, which is commonly seen in the spectra of subluminous ones. We argue that this early flash does not occur through previously suggested mechanisms such as the companion-ejecta interaction(8-10). Instead, our simulations show that it could occur through detonation of a thin helium shell either on a near-Chandrasekhar- mass white dwarf, or on a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf merging with a less-massive white dwarf. Our finding provides evidence that one branch of previously proposed explosion models-the helium-ignition branch- does exist in nature, and that such a model may account for the explosions of white dwarfs in a mass range wider than previously supposed(11-14). 第 103 条,共 286 条 Preheating of the Intergalactic Medium by Gravitational Collapse and Ultraviolet Background Zhu, WS (Zhu, Weishan); Feng, LL (Feng, Long-Long) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 847 期: 1 文献号: 17 The preheating of the intergalactic medium by structure collapse and ultraviolet background (UVB) is investigated in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. When gravitational collapse is the sole heating mechanism, we find that (1) 60% and 45% of the IGM are heated up to S > 8 and 17 keV cm(2), respectively, at z = 0, but the fractions drop Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 rapidly to a few percent at z = 2; (2) the entropy of the circumhalo gas S-cir is higher than the virial entropy for more than 75% of the halos with masses M < 10(11.5) M-circle dot since z = 2, but the fraction higher than the entropy, S-pr, required in the preventive model of galaxy formation is only 15%-20% for halos with M < 10(10.5) M-circle dot at z = 0, and decreases as redshift increases; (3) assuming a metallicity of Z <= 0.03 Z(circle dot), the fraction of halos whose circumhalo gas has a cooling time longer than the Hubble time t(cool,cir) > t(H) is merely 5%-10% at z less than or similar to 0.5, and even less at z >= 1 for halos with M < 10(10.5) M-circle dot; and (4) gas in the filaments undergoes the strongest preheating. Furthermore, we show that the UVB cannot enhance the fraction of the IGM with S > 17 keV cm(2), but can increase the fraction of low-mass halos (<10(10.5) M-circle dot) having S-cir > S-pr to similar to 70% at z = 0 and that having t(cool,cir) > t(H) to 15%-30% at z less than or similar to 0.5. Our results indicate that preheating due to gravitational collapse and UVB is inadequate to fulfill the needs of the preventative model, especially for halos with 10(10.5) M-circle dot < M< 10(11.5) M-circle dot. Nevertheless, these two mechanisms might cause large-scale galactic conformity. 第 104 条,共 286 条 Follow Up of GW170817 and Its Electromagnetic Counterpart by Australian-Led Observing Programmes Andreoni, I (Andreoni, I.); Ackley, K (Ackley, K.); Cooke, J (Cooke, J.); Acharyya, A (Acharyya, A.); Allison, JR (Allison, J.

PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA 卷: 34 文献号: e069 The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In this paper, we present follow-up observations of the gravitational wave event GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart SSS17a/DLT17ck (IAU label AT2017gfo) by 14 Australian telescopes and partner observatories as part of Australian-based and Australian-led research programs. We report early- to late-time multi-wavelength observations, including optical imaging and spectroscopy, mid-infrared imaging, radio imaging, and searches for fast radio bursts. Our optical spectra reveal that the transient source emission cooled from approximately 6 400 K to 2 100 K over a 7-d period and produced no significant optical emission lines. The spectral profiles, cooling rate, and photometric light curves are consistent with the expected outburst and subsequent processes of a binary neutron star merger. Star formation in the host galaxy probably ceased at least a Gyr ago, although there is evidence for a galaxy merger. Binary pulsars with short (100 Myr) decay times are therefore unlikely progenitors, but pulsars like PSR B1534+12 with its 2.7 Gyr coalescence time could produce such a merger. The displacement (similar to 2.2 kpc) of the binary star system from the centre of the main galaxy is not unusual for stars in the host galaxy or stars originating in the merging galaxy, and therefore any constraints on the kick velocity imparted to the progenitor are poor. 第 105 条,共 286 条 Optical observations of LIGO source GW 170817 by the Antarctic Survey Telescopes at Dome A, Antarctica Hu, L (Hu, Lei); Wu, XF (Wu, Xuefeng); Andreoni, I (Andreoni, Igor); Ashley, MCB (Ashley, Michael C.

The detection of an electromagnetic signal from a GW source is the critical next step to explore in detail the physics involved. The Antarctic Survey Telescopes (AST3), located at Dome A, Antarctica, is uniquely situated for rapid response time-domain astronomy with its continuous night-time coverage during the austral winter. We report optical observations of the GW source (GW 170817) in the nearby galaxy NGC 4993 using AST3. The data show a rapidly fading transient at around 1 day after the GW trigger, with the i-band magnitude declining from 17.23 +/- 0.13 magnitude to 17.72 +/- 0.09 magnitude in similar to 1.8 h. The brightness and time evolution of the optical transient associated with GW 170817 are broadly consistent with the predictions of models involving merging binary neutron stars. We infer from our data that the merging process ejected about similar to 10(-2) solar mass of radioactive material at a speed of up to 30% the speed of light. (C) 2017 Science China Press.

The average spectrum of slower declining (broader light curve width or higher stretch) SN Ia hosts shows stronger emission lines compared to the average spectrum of faster declining (narrower light curve width or lower stretch) SN Ia hosts. Using pPXF, we find that hosts of slower declining SNe Ia have metallicities that are, on average, 0.24 dex lower than average metallicities of faster declining SN Ia hosts. Similarly, redder SN Ia hosts have slightly higher metallicities than bluer SN Ia hosts. Lick index analysis of metallic lines and Balmer lines shows that faster declining SN Ia hosts have relatively higher metal content and have relatively older stellar populations compared with slower declining SN Ia hosts. We calculate average Ha star formation rate (SFR), stellar mass, and the specific SFR (sSFR) of host galaxies in these subgroups of SNe Ia. We find that slower declining SN Ia hosts have significantly higher (> 5 sigma) sSFR than faster declining SN Ia hosts. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov test shows that these two types of hosts originate from different parent distributions. Our results, when compared with the models of Childress et al., indicate that slower declining SNe Ia, being hosted in actively star-forming galaxies, are young (prompt) SNe Ia, originating from similar progenitor age groups.

Using an adaptive mesh refinement code, we study these backflows through a series of numerical experiments, aiming at understanding how their global properties depend on jet parameters. We are able to characterize their mass flux down to a scale of a few kiloparsecs to about 0.5 M(circle dot)yr(-1) for as long as 15 or 20 Myr, depending on jet power. We find that backflows are both spatially coherent and temporally intermittent, independently of jet power in the range 10(43)-10(45) erg s(-1). Using the mass flux thus measured, we model analytically the effect of backflows on the central accretion region, where a magnetically arrested disc lies at the centre of a thin circumnuclear disc. Backflow accretion on to the disc modifies its density profile, producing a flat core and tail. We use this analytic model to predict how accretion beyond the black hole magnetopause is modified, and thus how the jet power is temporally modulated. Under the assumption that the magnetic flux stays frozen in the accreting matter, and that the jets are always launched via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, we find that backflows are Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 capable of boosting the jet power up to tenfold during relatively short time episodes (a few Myr). 第 109 条,共 286 条 NIHAO XII: galactic uniformity in a Lambda CDM universe Dutton, AA (Dutton, Aaron A.); Obreja, A (Obreja, Aura); Wang, L (Wang, Liang); Gutcke, TA (Gutcke, Thales A.); Buck, T (Buck, Tobias); Udrescu, SM (Udrescu, Silviu M.); Frings, J (Frings, Jonas); Stinson, GS (Stinson, Gregory S.); Kang, X (Kang, Xi); Maccio, AV (Maccio, Andrea V.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 467 期: 4 页: 4937-4950 We use a sample of 83 high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations and a semi-analytic model (SAM) to study the stochasticity of galaxy formation in haloes ranging from dwarf to Milky Way masses. Our simulated galaxies reproduce the observed inefficiency of galaxy formation as expressed through the stellar, gas and baryonic Tully-Fisher relations. For HI velocities in the range (70 less than or similar to V less than or similar to 220 km s(-1)), the scatter is just 0.08 to 0.14 dex, consistent with the observed intrinsic scatter at these scales. At low velocities (20 less than or similar to V less than or similar to 70 km s(-1)), the simulated scatter is 0.2-0.25 dex, which could be tested with future observations. The scatter in the stellar mass versus dark halo velocity relation is constant for 30 less than or similar to V less than or similar to 180 km s(-1), and smaller (similar or equal to 0.17 dex) when using the maximum circular velocity of the dark-matter-only simulation, V-max(DMO), compared to the virial velocity (V-200 or V-200(DMO)). The scatter in stellar mass is correlated with halo concentration, and is minimized when using a circular velocity at a fixed fraction of the virial radius similar or equal to 0.4R(200) or with V-alpha = V-200(DMO)(V-max(DMO) / V-200(DMO))(alpha) with alpha similar or equal to 0.7, consistent with constraints from halo clustering. Using the SAM we show the correlation between halo formation time and concentration is essential in order to reproduce this result. This uniformity in galaxy formation efficiency we see in our hydrodynamical simulations and an SAM proves the simplicity and self-regulating nature of galaxy formation in a Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) universe. 第 110 条,共 286 条 NIHAO VII: predictions for the galactic baryon budget in dwarf to Milky Way mass haloes Wang, LA (Wang, Liang); Dutton, AA (Dutton, Aaron A.); Stinson, GS (Stinson, Gregory S.); Maccio, AV (Maccio, Andrea V.); Gutcke, T (Gutcke, Thales); Kang, X (Kang, Xi) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 466 期: 4 页: 4858-4867 We use the Numerical Investigation of a Hundred Astrophysical Objects (NIHAO) galaxy formation simulations to make predictions for the baryonic budget in present day galaxies ranging from dwarf (M-200 similar to 10(10)M circle dot) toMilkyWay (M-200 similar to 10(12)M circle dot) masses. The sample is made of 88 independent high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations. NIHAO galaxies reproduce key properties of observed galaxies, such as the stellar mass versus halo mass and cold gas versus stellar mass relations. Thus they make plausible predictions for the baryon budget. We present the mass fractions of stars, cold gas (T< 10(4) K), cool gas (10(4) < T< 10(5) K), warm-hot gas (10(5) < T < 5 x 10(6) K) and hot gas (T > 5 x 10(6) K), inside the virial radius, R200. Compared to the predicted baryon mass, using the dark halo mass and the universal baryon fraction, f(b) = Omega(b)/Omega(m) = 0.15, we find that all of our haloes are missing baryons. The missing mass has been relocated past 2 virial radii, and cool gas dominates the corona at low mass (M-200 Alpha less than or similar to 3 x 10(11)M circle dot) while the warm-hot gas dominates at high mass (M-200 less than or similar to 3 x 10(11)M circle dot). Haloes of mass M-200 greater than or similar to 10(10)M circle dot are missing similar to 90 per cent of their baryons. More massive haloes (M-200 similar to 10(12)M circle dot) retain a higher fraction of their baryons, with similar to 30 per cent missing, consistent with recent observational estimates. Moreover, these more massive haloes reproduce the observed fraction of cold, warm-hot and hot gases. The fraction of cool gas we predict (0.11 +/- 0.06) is significantly lower than the observation from COS-Halos (0.3-0.47), but agrees with the alternative analysis of Stern et al. (2016). 第 111 条,共 286 条 Constraints on the Evolution of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function. I. Role of Star Formation, Mergers, and Stellar Stripping Contini, E (Contini, E.); Kang, X (Kang, Xi); Romeo, AD (Romeo, A. D.); Xia, Q (Xia, Q.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 837 期: 1 文献号: 27 We study the connection between the observed star formation rate-stellar mass (SFR-M-*) relation and the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) by means of a subhalo abundance matching technique coupled to merger trees extracted from an N-body simulation. Our approach, which considers both galaxy mergers and stellar stripping, is to force the model to match the observed SMF at redshift z > 2, and let it evolve down to the present time according to the observed SFR-M-* relation. In this study, we use two different sets of SMFs and two SFR-M-* relations: a simple power law and a relation with a mass-dependent slope. Our analysis shows that the evolution of the SMF is more consistent with an SFR-M-* relation with a mass-dependent slope, in agreement with predictions from other models of galaxy evolution and recent observations. In order to fully and realistically describe the evolution of the SMF, both mergers and stellar stripping must be considered, and we find that both have almost equal effects on the evolution of SMF at the massive end. Taking into account the systematic uncertainties in the observed data, the high-mass end of the SMF obtained by considering stellar stripping results in good agreement with recent observational data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. At log M-* < 11.2, our prediction at z = 0.1 is close to Li & White data, but the high-mass end (log M-* > 11.2) is in better agreement with D'Souza et al. data which account for more massive galaxies. 第 112 条,共 286 条 What is the right way to quench star formation in semi-analytic models of galaxy formation? Luo, Y (Luo, Yu); Kang, X (Kang, Xi) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 2 文献号: 12 Semi-analytic models of galaxy formation are powerful tools to study the evolution of a galaxy population in a cosmological context. However, most models overpredict 69 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS the number of lowmass galaxies at high redshifts and the colors of model galaxies are not right in the sense that low-mass satellite galaxies are too red and centrals are too blue. The recent version of the L-Galaxies model by Henriques et al. (H15) is a step forward to solve these problems by reproducing the evolution of stellar mass function and the overall fraction of red galaxies. In this paper we compare the two model predictions of L-Galaxies ( the other is Guo et al., G13) to SDSS data in detail. We find that in the H15 model the red fraction of central galaxies now agrees with the data due to their implementation of strong AGN feedback, but the stellar mass of centrals in massive halos is now slightly lower than what is indicated by the data. For satellite galaxies, the red fraction of low-mass galaxies (log M+/M-circle dot < 10) also agrees with the data, but the color of massive satellites (10 < log M-*/M-circle dot < 11) is slightly bluer. The correct color of centrals and the bluer color of massive satellites indicate that quenching in massive satellites is not strong enough. We also find that there are too many red spirals and less bulge-dominated galaxies in both H15 and G13 models. Our results suggest that additional mechanisms, such as more minor mergers or disk instability, are needed to slightly increase the stellar mass of the central galaxy in massive galaxies, mainly in the bulge component, and bulge dominated galaxies will be quenched not only by minor mergers, but also by some other mechanisms. 第 113 条,共 286 条 The spatial alignment of galaxies on different scales:A review on the theoretical and observational progress Kang Xi; Wang Peng; Luo Yu; Xia Qianli; Pan Hengxing Scientia Sinica Physica, Mechanica & Astronomica 卷 : 47 期 : 4 页 : 049803-1-049803-21 文 献 号 : 1674-7275(2017)47:4<049803:XXKJQX>2.0.TX;2-O The spatial distribution of galaxies in our universe is not random, and they demonstrate different alignment patterns on different scales. On the scale of galaxy and galaxy clusters, satellite galaxies tend to be distributed along the major axis of the central galaxy. On large scales, major axis of a central galaxy tends to point towards large scale matter distribution, for example, along the large scale filamentary structure. Even on larger scales, the major axes of different galaxies still have non-negligible correlations. Besides, the angular momentums of galaxies are also correlated with the mass distribution on large scales, with different correlations. This article will review the relative theories and observational developments in galaxies alignment and spatial distribution, it will show that the anisotropic distributions of galaxies on small scales are determined by the non-spherical nature of dark matter halo, and the correlations with large-scale mass distribution are also the natural predictions of cold dark matter theory, and this article also indicates that studies of galaxy alignment help us to understand the physics of galaxy formation and could be used to constrain the nature of dark matter and dark energy. 第 114 条,共 286 条 The Frontier Fields lens modelling comparison project Meneghetti, M (Meneghetti, M.); Natarajan, P (Natarajan, P.); Coe, D (Coe, D.); Contini, E (Contini, E.); De Lucia, G (De Lucia, G.); Giocoli, C (Giocoli, C.); Acebron, A (Acebron, A.); Borgani, S (Borgani, S.); Bradac, M (Bradac, M.); Diego, JM (Diego, J.

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 472 期: 3 页: 3177-3216 Gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies offers a powerful probe of their structure and mass distribution. Several research groups have developed techniques independently to achieve this goal. While these methods have all provided remarkably high-precision mass maps, particularly with exquisite imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the reconstructions themselves have never been directly compared. In this paper, we present for the first time a detailed comparison of methodologies for fidelity, accuracy and precision. For this collaborative exercise, the lens modelling community was provided simulated cluster images that mimic the depth and resolution of the ongoing HST Frontier Fields. The results of the submitted reconstructions with the un-blinded true mass profile of these two clusters are presented here. Parametric, free-form and hybrid techniques have been deployed by the participating groups and we detail the strengths and trade-offs in accuracy and systematics that arise for each methodology. We note in conclusion that several properties of the lensing clusters are recovered equally well by most of the lensing techniques compared in this study. For example, the reconstruction of azimuthally averaged density and mass profiles by both parametric and free-form methods matches the input models at the level of similar to 10 per cent. Parametric techniques are generally better at recovering the 2D maps of the convergence and of the magnification. For the best-performing algorithms, the accuracy in the magnification estimate is similar to 10 per cent at mu(true) = 3 and it degrades to similar to 30 per cent at mu(true) similar to 10. 第 115 条,共 286 条 Halo Intrinsic Alignment: Dependence on Mass, Formation Time, and Environment Xia, QL (Xia, Qianli); Kang, X (Kang, Xi); Wang, P (Wang, Peng); Luo, Y (Luo, Yu); Yang, XH (Yang, Xiaohu); Jing, YP (Jing, Yipeng); Wang, HY (Wang, Huiyuan); Mo, HJ (Mo, Houjun) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 848 期: 1 文献号: 22 In this paper we use high-resolution cosmological simulations to study halo intrinsic alignment and its dependence on mass, formation time, and large-scale environment. In agreement with previous studies using N-body simulations, it is found that massive halos have stronger alignment. For the first time, we find that for a given halo mass older halos have stronger alignment and halos in cluster regions also have stronger alignment than those in filaments. To model these dependencies, we extend the linear alignment model with inclusion of halo bias and find that the halo alignment with its mass and formation time dependence can be explained by halo bias. However, the model cannot account for the environment dependence, as it is found that halo bias is lower in clusters and higher in filaments. Our results suggest that halo bias and environment are independent factors in determining halo alignment. We also study the halo alignment correlation function and find that halos are strongly clustered along Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 their major axes and less clustered along the minor axes. The correlated halo alignment can extend to scales as large as 100 h(-1) Mpc, where its feature is mainly driven by the baryon acoustic oscillation effect. 第 116 条,共 286 条 A general explanation on the correlation of dark matter halo spin with the large-scale environment Wang, P (Wang, Peng); Kang, X (Kang, Xi) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 468 期: 1 页: L123-L127 Both simulations and observations have found that the spin of halo/galaxy is correlated with the large-scale environment, and particularly the spin of halo flips in filament. A consistent picture of halo spin evolution in different environments is still lacked. Using N-body simulation, we find that halo spin with its environment evolves continuously from sheet to cluster, and the flip of halo spin happens both in filament and nodes. The flip in filament can be explained by halo formation time and migrating time when its environment changes from sheet to filament. For low-mass haloes, they form first in sheets and migrate into filaments later, so their mass and spin growth inside filament are lower, and the original spin is still parallel to filament. For high-mass haloes, they migrate into filaments first, and most of their mass and spin growth are obtained in filaments, so the resulted spin is perpendicular to filament. Our results well explain the overall evolution of cosmic web in the cold dark matter model and can be tested using high-redshift data. The scenario can also be tested against alternative models of dark matter, such as warm/hot dark matter, where the structure formation will proceed in a different way. 第 117 条,共 286 条 How to co-add images?

A new iterative method for image reconstruction of dithered observations Wang, L (Wang, Lei); Li, GL (Li, Guo-Liang) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 10 文献号: 100 By employing the previous Voronoi approach and replacing its nearest neighbor approximation with Drizzle in iterative signal extraction, we develop a fast iterative Drizzle algorithm, named fiDrizzle, to reconstruct the underlying band-limited image from undersampled dithered frames. Compared with the existing iDrizzle, the new algorithm improves rate of convergence and accelerates the computational speed. Moreover, under the same conditions (e.g. the same number of dithers and iterations), fiDrizzle can make a better quality reconstruction than iDrizzle, due to the newly discovered High Sampling caused Decelerating Convergence (HSDC) effect in the iterative signal extraction process. fiDrizzle demonstrates its powerful ability to perform image deconvolution from undersampled dithers. 第 118 条,共 286 条 Constraints on the Evolution of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 849 期: 2 文献号: 156 We study the connection between the observed star formation rate-stellar mass (SFR-M-*) relation and the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) by means of a subhalo abundance matching technique coupled to merger trees extracted from an N-body simulation. Our approach consists of forcing the model to match the observed SMF at redshift z similar to 2.3, and letting it evolve down to z similar to 0.3 according to a tau model, an exponentially declining functional form that describes the star formation rate decay of both satellite and central galaxies. In this study, we use three different sets of SMFs: ZFOURGE data from Tomczak et al., UltraVISTA data from Ilbert et al., and COSMOS data from Davidzon et al. We also build a mock survey combining UltraVISTA with ZFOURGE. Our modeling of quenching timescales is consistent with the evolution of the SMF down to z similar to 0.3, with different accuracy depending on the particular survey used for calibration. We tested our model against the observed SMFs at low redshift, and it predicts residuals (observation versus model) within 1 sigma observed scatter along most of the stellar mass range investigated, and with mean residuals below 0.1 dex in the range similar to[10(8.7)-10(11.7)]M-circle dot. We then compare the SFR-M-* relation predicted by the model with the observed one at different redshifts. The predicted SFR-M-* relation underpredicts the median SFR at fixed stellar mass relative to observations at all redshifts. Nevertheless, the shapes are consistent with the observed relations up to intermediate-mass galaxies, followed by a rapid decline for massive galaxies. 第 119 条,共 286 条 The Sloan Lens ACS Survey.

We develop a real-data based and galaxy-oriented pipeline to compare the performances of various PSF reconstruction schemes. Making use of a large amount of the CFHTLenS data, the performances of three classes of interpolating schemes-polynomial, Kriging, and Shepard-are evaluated. We find that polynomial interpolations with optimal orders and domains perform the best. We quantify the effect of the 72 residual PSF reconstruction error on shear recovery in terms of the multiplicative and additive biases, and their spatial correlations using the shear measurement method of Zhang et al. We find that the impact of PSF reconstruction uncertainty on the shear-shear correlation can be significantly reduced by cross correlating the shear estimators from different exposures. It takes only 0.2 stars (S/N greater than or similar to > 100) per square arcmin on each exposure to reach the best performance of PSF interpolation, a requirement that is satisfied in most of the CFHTlenS data. 2-04 Star Formation in Galaxies 第 122 条,共 286 条 Dense gas in low-metallicity galaxies Braine, J (Braine, J.); Shimajiri, Y (Shimajiri, Y.); Andre, P (Andre, P.); Bontemps, S (Bontemps, S.); Gao, Y (Gao, Yu); Chen, H (Chen, Hao); Kramer, C (Kramer, C.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 597 文献号: A44 Stars form out of the densest parts of molecular clouds. Far-IR emission can be used to estimate the star formation rate (SFR) and high dipole moment molecules, typically HCN, trace the dense gas. A strong correlation exists between HCN and far-IR emission, with the ratio being nearly constant, over a large range of physical scales. A few recent observations have found HCN to be weak with respect to the far-IR and CO in subsolar metallicity (low-Z) objects. We present observations of the Local Group galaxies M 33, IC 10, and NGC 6822 with the IRAM 30 m and NRO 45 m telescopes, greatly improving the sample of low-Z galaxies observed. HCN, HCO+, CS, C2H, and HNC have been detected. Compared to solar metallicity galaxies, the nitrogen-bearing species are weak (HCN, HNC) or not detected (CN, HNCO, N2H+) relative to far-IR or CO emission. HCO+ and C2H emission is normal with respect to CO and far-IR. While (CO)-C-13 is the usual factor 10 weaker than (CO)-C-12, (CO)-O-18 emission was not detected down to very low levels. Including earlier data, we find that the HCN/HCO+ ratio varies with metallicity (O/H) and attribute this to the sharply decreasing nitrogen abundance. The dense gas fraction, traced by the HCN/CO and HCO+/CO ratios, follows the SFR but in the low-Z objects the HCO+ is much easier to measure. Combined with larger and smaller scale measurements, the HCO+ line appears to be an excellent tracer of dense gas and varies linearly with the SFR for both low and high metallicities. 第 123 条,共 286 条 HIFI Spectroscopy of H2O Submillimeter Lines in Nuclei of Actively Star-forming Galaxies Liu, L (Liu, L.); Weiss, A (Weiss, A.); Perez-Beaupuits, JP (Perez-Beaupuits, J.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 846 期: 1 文献号: 5 Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 We present a systematic survey of multiple velocity-resolved H2O spectra using Herschel/Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI) toward nine nearby actively star-forming galaxies. The ground-state and low-excitation lines (E-up <= 130 K) show profiles with emission and absorption blended together, while absorption-free medium-excitation lines (130 K <= E-up <= 350 K) typically display line shapes similar to CO. We analyze the HIFI observation together with archival SPIRE/PACS H2O data using a state-of-the-art 3D radiative transfer code that includes the interaction between continuum and line emission. The water excitation models are combined with information on the dust and CO spectral line energy distribution to determine the physical structure of the interstellar medium (ISM). We identify two ISM components that are common to all galaxies: a warm (T-dust similar to 40-70 K), dense (n(H) similar to 10(5)-10(6) cm(-3)) phase that dominates the emission of medium-excitation H2O lines. This gas phase also dominates the far-IR emission and the CO intensities for J(up) > 8. In addition, a cold (T-dust similar to 20-30 K), dense (n(H) similar to 10(4)-10(5)cm(-3)), more extended phase is present. It outputs the emission in the low-excitation H2O lines and typically also produces the prominent line absorption features. For the two ULIRGs in our sample (Arp 220 and Mrk 231) an even hotter and more compact (R-s <= 100 pc) region is present, which is possibly linked to AGN activity. We find that collisions dominate the water excitation in the cold gas and for lines with E-up <= 300 K and E-up <= 800 K in the warm and hot component, respectively. Higher-energy levels are mainly excited by IR pumping. 第 124 条,共 286 条 ALMA Maps of Dust and Warm Dense Gas Emission in the Starburst Galaxy IC 5179 Zhao, YH (Zhao, Yinghe); Lu, NY (Lu, Nanyao); Diaz-Santos, T (Diaz-Santos, Tanio); Xu, CK (Xu, C.

The CO. (6-5) emission is spatially distributed in filamentary structures with many dense cores and shows a velocity field that is characteristic of a circumnuclear rotating gas disk, with 90% of the rotation speed arising within a radius of less than or similar to 150 pc. At the scale of our spatial resolution, the CO. (6-5) and dust emission peaks do not always coincide, with their surface brightness ratio varying by a factor of similar to 10. This result suggests that their excitation mechanisms are likely different, as further evidenced by the southwest to northeast spatial gradient of both CO-to-dust continuum ratio and Pa-alpha equivalent width. Within the nuclear region (radius similar to 300 pc) and with a resolution of similar to 34 pc, the CO line flux (dust flux density) detected in our ALMA observations is 180 +/- 18 Jy km s(-1) (71 +/- 7 mJy), which accounts for 22% (2.4%) of the total value measured by Herschel. 第 125 条,共 286 条 Testing the universality of the star-formation efficiency in dense molecular gas Shimajiri, Y (Shimajiri, Y.); Andre, P (Andre, Ph.); Braine, J (Braine, J.); Konyves, V (Koenyves, V.); Schneider, N (Schneider, N.); Bontemps, S (Bontemps, S.); Ladjelate, B (Ladjelate, B.); Roy, A (Roy, A.); Gao, Y (Gao, Y.); Chen, H (Chen, H.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 604 文献号: A74 Context. Recent studies with, for example, Spitzer and Herschel have suggested that star formation in dense molecular gas may be governed by essentially the same "law" in Galactic clouds and external galaxies. This conclusion remains controversial, however, in large part because different tracers have been used to probe the mass of dense molecular gas in Galactic and extragalactic studies. Aims. We aimed to calibrate the HCN and HCO + lines commonly used as dense gas tracers in extragalactic studies and to test the possible universality of the star-formation efficiency in dense gas (greater than or similar to 10(4) cm(-3)), SFEdense. Methods. We conducted wide-field mapping of the Aquila, Ophiuchus, and Orion B clouds at similar to 0.04 pc resolution in the J = 1-0 transition of HCN, HCO+, and their isotopomers. For each cloud, we derived a reference estimate of the dense gas mass M-Herschel(AV > 8), as well as the strength of the local far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation field, using Herschel Gould Belt survey data products, and estimated the star-formation rate from direct counting of the number of Spitzer young stellar objects. Results. The (HCO+)-C-13 (1-0) and (HCN)-C-13(1-0) lines were observed to be good tracers of the dense star-forming filaments detected with Herschel. Comparing the luminosities L-HCN and LHCO+ measured in the HCN and HCO+ lines with the reference masses M-Herschel(AV > 8), the empirical conversion factors alpha(Herschel-HCN) (=M-Herschel(AV > 8)/ L-HCN) and alpha(Herschel-HCO+) (=M-Herschel(AV > 8)/LHCO+) were found to be significantly anti-correlated with the local FUV strength. In agreement with a recent independent study of Orion B by Pety et al., the HCN and HCO+ lines were found to trace gas down to A(V) greater than or similar to 2. As a result, published extragalactic HCN studies must be tracing all of the moderate density gas down to n(H2) less than or similar to 10(3) cm(-3). Estimating the contribution of this moderate density gas from the typical column density probability distribution functions in nearby clouds, we obtained the following G(0)-dependent HCN conversion factor for external galaxies: alpha(fit)(Herschel)' (HCN) = 64 x G(0)(0.340). Re-estimating the dense gas masses in external galaxies with alpha(fit)(Herschel)' (HCN) (G(0)), we found that SFEdense is remarkably constant, with a scatter of less than 1.5 orders of magnitude around 4.5 x 10(-8) yr(-1), over eight orders of magnitude in dense gas mass. Conclusions. Our results confirm that SFEdense of galaxies is quasi-universal on a wide range of scales from similar to 1-10 pc to >10 kpc. Based on the tight link between star formation and filamentary structure found in Herschel studies of nearby clouds, we argue that SFEdense is primarily set by the "microphysics" of core and star formation along filaments. 第 126 条,共 286 条 73 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS ALMA [N II] 205 mu m Imaging Spectroscopy of the Interacting Galaxy System BRI 1202-0725 at Redshift 4.7 conversion factor.

We detect the QSO and SMG in both [N II] and continuum. At the similar to 1 '' (or 6.6 kpc) resolution, both the QSO and SMG are resolved in [N II], with the de-convolved major axes of similar to 9 and similar to 14 kpc, respectively. In contrast, their continuum emissions are much more compact and unresolved even at an enhanced resolution of similar to 0 ''.7. The ratio of the [N II] flux to the existing CO(7-6) flux is used to constrain the dust temperature (T-dust) for a more accurate determination of the FIR luminosity L-FIR. Our best estimated T-dust equals 43 (+/- 2) K for both galaxies (assuming an emissivity index beta = 1.8). The resulting LCO(7-6)/LFIR ratios are statistically consistent with that of local luminous infrared galaxies, confirming that LCO(7-6) traces the star formation (SF) rate (SFR) in these galaxies. We estimate that the ongoing SF of the QSO (SMG) has an SFR of 5.1 (6.9) x 10(3) M-circle dot yr(-1) (+/- 30%) assuming Chabrier initial mass function, takes place within a diameter (at half maximum) of 1.3 (1.5) kpc, and will consume the existing 5 (5) x 10(11) M-circle dot of molecular gas in 10 (7) x 10(7) years. 第 128 条,共 286 条 第 127 条,共 286 条 Neutral Carbon Emission in Luminous Infrared Galaxies: The [CI] Lines as Total Molecular Gas Tracers Jiao, Q (Jiao, Qian); Zhao, YH (Zhao, Yinghe); Zhu, M (Zhu, Ming); Lu, NY (Lu, Nanyao); Gao, Y (Gao, Yu); Zhang, ZY (Zhang, Zhi-Yu) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 840 期: 2 文献号: L18 We present a statistical study of the [C I] (P-3(1) (R) P-3(0)), [C I] (P-3(2) (R) P-3(1)) lines (hereafter [C I] (1-0) and [C I] (2-1), respectively) and the CO(1-0) line for a sample of (ultra-) luminous infrared galaxies ((U) LIRGs). We explore the correlations between the luminosities of CO(1-0) and [C I] lines, and find that L'(CO(1-0)) correlates almost linearly with both L'[C I] (1-0) and L'[C I] (2-1), suggesting that [C I] lines can trace total molecular gas mass, at least for (U) LIRGs. We also investigate the dependence of L'([C I] (1-0))/L'(CO (1-0)), L'([C I] (2-1))/L'(CO (1-0)), and L'([C I] (2-1))/L'([C I] (1-0)) on the far-infrared color of 60-to-100 mu m, and find non-correlation, a weak correlation, and a modest correlation, respectively. Under the assumption that these two carbon transitions are optically thin, we further calculate the [C I] line excitation temperatures, atomic carbon masses, and mean [C I] line flux-to-H-2 mass conversion factors for our sample. The resulting H-2 masses using these [C I]-based conversion factors roughly agree with those derived from L'(CO (1-0)) and CO-to-H-2 74 A Herschel Space Observatory Spectral Line Survey of Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies from 194 to 671 Microns Lu, NY (Lu, Nanyao); Zhao, YG (Zhao, Yinghe); Diaz-Santos, T (Diaz-Santos, Tanio); Xu, CK (Kevin Xu, C.); Gao, Y (Gao, Yu); Armus, L (Armus, Lee); Isaak, KG (Isaak, Kate G.); Mazzarella, JM (Mazzarella, Joseph M.); van der Werf, PP (van der Werf, Paul P.); Appleton, PN (Appleton, Philip N.); Charmandaris, V (Charmandaris, Vassilis); Evans, AS (Evans, Aaron S.); Howell, J (Howell, Justin); Iwasawa, K (Iwasawa, Kazushi); Leech, J (Leech, Jamie); Lord, S (Lord, Steven); Petric, AO (Petric, Andreea O.); Privon, GC (Privon, George C.); Sanders, DB (Sanders, David B.); Schulz, B (Schulz, Bernhard); Surace, JA (Surace, Jason A.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT SERIES 卷: 230 期: 1 文献号: 1 We describe a Herschel Space Observatory 194-671 mu m spectroscopic survey of a sample of 121 local luminous infrared galaxies and report the fluxes of the CO J to J-1 rotational transitions for 4 <= J <= 13, the [N II] 205 mu m line, the [C I] lines at 609 and 370 mu m, as well as additional and usually fainter lines. The CO spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) presented here are consistent with our earlier work, which was based on a smaller sample, that calls for two distinct molecular gas components in general: (i) a cold component, which emits CO lines primarily at J less than or similar to 4 and likely represents the same gas phase traced by CO (1-0), and (ii) a warm component, which dominates over the mid-J regime (4 < J less than or similar to 10) and is intimately related to current star formation. We present evidence that the CO line emission associated with an active galactic nucleus is significant only at J > 10. The flux ratios of the two [C I] lines imply modest excitation temperatures of 15-30 K; the [C I] 370 mu m line scales more linearly in flux with CO (4-3) than with CO (7-6). These findings suggest that the [C I] emission is predominantly associated with the gas component defined in (i) above. Our analysis of the stacked spectra in different far-infrared (FIR) color bins reveals an evolution of the SLED of the rotational transitions of H2O vapor as a function of the FIR color in a direction consistent with infrared photon pumping. 第 129 条,共 286 条 HC3N observations of nearby galaxies Jiang, XJ (Jiang, Xue-Jian); Wang, JZ (Wang, Jun-Zhi); Gao, Y (Gao, Yu); Gu, QS (Gu, Qiu-Sheng) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 600 文献号: A15 Aims. We aim to systematically study the properties of the different transitions of the dense molecular gas tracer HC3N in galaxies. Methods. We have conducted single-dish observations of HC3N emission lines towards a sample of nearby gas-rich galaxies. HC3N(J = 2-1) was observed in 20 galaxies with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. HC3N(J = 24-23) was observed in nine galaxies with the 10-m Submillimeter Telescope (SMT). Results. HC3N 2-1 is detected in three galaxies: IC 342, M 66, and NGC 660 (>3 sigma). HC3N 24-23 is detected in three galaxies: IC 342, NGC 1068, and IC 694. These are the first measurements of HC3N 2-1 in a relatively large sample of Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 external galaxies, although the detection rate is low. For the HC3N 2-1 non-detections, upper limits (2 sigma) are derived for each galaxy, and stacking the non-detections is attempted to recover the weak signal of HC3N. The stacked spectrum, however, does not show any significant signs of HC3N 2-1 emission. The results are also compared with other transitions of HC3N observed in galaxies. Conclusions. The low detection rate of both transitions suggests low abundance of HC3N in galaxies, which is consistent with other observational studies. The comparison between HC3N and HCN or HCO+ shows a large diversity in the ratios between HC3N and HCN or HCO+. More observations are needed to interpret the behavior of HC3N in different types of galaxies. 第 130 条,共 286 条 Dense Gas in the Outer Spiral Arm of M51 Chen, H (Chen, Hao); Braine, J (Braine, Jonathan); Gao, Y (Gao, Yu); Koda, J (Koda, Jin); Gu, QS (Gu, Qiusheng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 836 期: 1 文献号: 101 There is a linear relation between the mass of dense gas traced by the HCN(1- 0) luminosity and the star formation rate (SFR) traced by the far-infrared luminosity. Recent observations of galactic disks have shown some systematic variations. In order to explore the SFR-dense gas link at high resolution (similar to 4 '', similar to 150 pc) in the outer disk of an external galaxy, we have mapped a region about 5 kpc from the center along the northern spiral arm of M51 in the HCN(1- 0), HCO+(1- 0), and HNC(1- 0) emission lines using the Northern Extended Millimeter Array interferometer. The HCN and HCO+ lines were detected in six giant molecular associations (GMAs), while HNC emission was only detected in the two brightest GMAs. One of the GMAs hosts a powerful H II region, and HCN is stronger than HCO+ there. Comparing observations of GMAs in the disks of M31 and M33 at similar angular resolution (similar to 100 pc), we find that GMAs in the outer disk of M51 are brighter in both the HCN and the HCO+ lines by a factor of 3, on average. However, the I-HCN /I-CO and I-HCO(+) /I-CO ratios are similar to the ratios in nearby galactic disks and the Galactic plane. Using the Herschel 70 mu m data to trace the total IR luminosity at the resolution of the GMAs, we find that both the LIR/LHCN and LIR/LHCO+ relations in the outer disk GMAs are consistent with the proportionality between the LIR and the dense gas mass established globally in galaxies within the scatter. The IR/HCN and IR/HCO+ ratios of the GMAs vary by a factor of 3, probably depending on whether massive stars are forming. 第 131 条,共 286 条 Extinction Correction Significantly Influences the Estimate of the Ly alpha Escape Fraction An, FX (An, Fang Xia); Zheng, XZ (Zheng, Xian Zhong); Hao, CN (Hao, Cai-Na); Huang, JS (Huang, Jia-Sheng); Xia, XY (Xia, Xiao-Yang) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: 116 The Ly alpha escape fraction is a key measure to constrain the neutral state of the intergalactic medium and then to understand how the universe was fully reionized. We combine deep narrowband imaging data from the custom-made filter NB393 and the H2S1 filter centered at 2.14 mu m to examine the Ly alpha emitters and H alpha emitters at the same redshift z - 2.24. The combination of these two populations allows us to determine the Ly alpha escape fraction at z = 2.24. Over an area of 383 arcmin(2) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), 124 Ly alpha emitters are detected down to NB393 = 26.4 mag at the 5 sigma level, and 56 H alpha emitters come from An et al. Of these, four have both Ly alpha and H alpha emissions (LAHAEs). We also collect the Ly alpha emitters and H alpha emitters at z = 2.24 in the COSMOS field from the literature, and increase the number of LAHAEs to 15 in total. About one-third of them are AGNs. We measure the individual/volumetric Ly alpha escape fraction by comparing the observed Ly alpha luminosity/luminosity density to the extinction-corrected Ha luminosity/luminosity density. We revisit the extinction correction for H alpha emitters using the Galactic extinction law with color excess for nebular emission. We also adopt the Calzetti extinction law together with an identical color excess for stellar and nebular regions to explore how the uncertainties in extinction correction affect the estimate of individual and global Ly alpha escape fractions. In both cases, an anti-correlation between the Ly alpha escape fraction and dust attenuation is found among the LAHAEs, suggesting that dust absorption is responsible for the suppression of the escaping Ly alpha photons. However, the estimated Ly alpha escape fraction of individual LAHAEs varies by up to similar to 3 percentage points between the two methods of extinction correction. We find the global Ly alpha escape fraction at z = 2.24 to be ( 3.7 +/- 1.4)% in the ECDFS. The variation in the color excess of the extinction causes a discrepancy of similar to 1 percentage point in the global Ly alpha escape fraction. 第 132 条,共 286 条 High Dense Gas Fraction in Intensely Star-forming Dusty Galaxies Oteo, I (Oteo, I.); Zhang, ZY (Zhang, Z-Y.); Yang, C (Yang, C.); Ivison, RJ (Ivison, R.

In SDP.9 we have detected all J = 3-2 transitions and also HCN(1-0) and HCO+(1-0). In SDP.11 we have detected HCN(3-2) and HCO+(3-2). The amplification factors for both galaxies have been determined from subarcsecond-resolution CO and dust emission observations carried out with NOEMA and the SMA. The HNC(1-0)/HCN(1-0) line ratio in SDP.9 suggests the presence of photon-dominated regions, as happens in most local (U)LIRGs. The CO, HCN, and HCO+ spectral line energy distribution (SLEDs) of SDP. 9 are compatible to those found for many local, IR-bright galaxies, indicating that the molecular gas in local and high-redshift dusty starbursts can 75 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS have similar excitation conditions. We obtain that the correlation between total IR (L-IR) and dense line (L-dense) luminosity in SDP.9 and SDP.11 and local star-forming galaxies can be represented by a single relation. We argue that the scatter of the L-IR-L-dense correlation, together with the lack of sensitive dense molecular gas tracer observations for a homogeneous sample of high-redshift galaxies, prevents us from distinguishing differential trends with redshift. Our results suggest that the intense star formation found in some high-redshift, dusty, luminous starbursts is associated with more massive dense molecular gas reservoirs and higher dense molecular gas fractions. 第 133 条,共 286 条 VALES: IV.

ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 608 文献号: A144 We present the IRAM-30m observations of multiple-J CO (J(up) mostly from 3 up to 8) and [CI](P-3(2) -> P-3(1)) ([CI](2-1) hereafter) line emission in a sample of redshift similar to 2-4 submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). These SMGs are selected among the brightest-lensed galaxies discovered in the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS). Forty-seven CO lines and 7 [CI](2-1) lines have been detected in 15 lensed SMGs. A non-negligible effect of differential lensing is found for the CO emission lines, which could have caused significant underestimations of the linewidths, and hence of the dynamical masses. The CO 76 spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs), peaking around J(up) similar to 5-7, are found to be similar to those of the local starburst-dominated ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and of the previously studied SMGs. After correcting for lensing amplification, we derived the global properties of the bulk of molecular gas in the SMGs using non-LTE radiative transfer modelling, such as the molecular gas density n(H2) similar to 10(2.5)-10(4.1) cm(-3) and the kinetic temperature T-k similar to 20-750 K. The gas thermal pressure P-th ranging from similar to 10(5) Kcm(-3) to 10(6) Kcm(-3) is found to be correlated with star formation efficiency. Further decomposing the CO SLEDs into two excitation components, we find a low-excitation component with n(H2) similar to 10(2.8)-10(4.6) cm(-3) and T-k similar to 20-30 K, which is less correlated with star formation, and a high-excitation one (n(H2) similar to 10(2.7)-10(4.2) cm(-3), T-k similar to 60-400 K) which is tightly related to the on-going star-forming activity. Additionally, tight linear correlations between the far-infrared and CO line luminosities have been confirmed for the J(up) >= 5 CO lines of these SMGs, implying that these CO lines are good tracers of star formation. The [C I](2-1) lines follow the tight linear correlation between the luminosities of the [C I](2-1) and the CO(1-0) line found in local starbursts, indicating that [C I] lines could serve as good total molecular gas mass tracers for high-redshift SMGs as well. The total mass of the molecular gas reservoir, (1-30) x 10(10) M circle dot, derived based on the CO(3-2) fluxes and alpha(CO(1-0)) = 0.8 M circle dot (K km s(-1) pc(2))(-1), suggests a typical molecular gas depletion time t(dep) similar to 20-100 Myr and a gas to dust mass ratio delta(GDR) similar to 30-100 with similar to 20%-60% uncertainty for the SMGs. The ratio between CO line luminosity and the dust mass L'(CO)/M-dust appears to be slowly increasing with redshift for high-redshift SMGs, which need to be further confirmed by a more complete SMG sample at various redshifts. Finally, through comparing the linewidth of CO and H2O lines, we find that they agree well in almost all our SMGs, confirming that the emitting regions of the CO and H2O lines are co-spatially located. 第 136 条,共 286 条 Molecular gas in the Herschel-selected strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies at z similar to 2-4 as probed by multi-J CO lines Yang, C (Yang, C.); Omont, A (Omont, A.); Beelen, A (Beelen, A.); Gao, Y (Gao, Y.); van der Werf, P (van der Werf, P.); Gavazzi, R (Gavazzi, R.); Zhang, ZY (Zhang, Z. -Y.); Ivison, R (Ivison, R.); Lehnert, M (Lehnert, M.); Liu, D (Liu, D.); Oteo, I (Oteo, I.); Gonzalez-Alfonso, E (Gonzalez-Alfonso, E.); Dannerbauer, H (Dannerbauer, H.); Cox, P (Cox, P.); Krips, M (Krips, M.); Neri, R (Neri, R.); Riechers, D (Riechers, D.); Baker, AJ (Baker, A.

J.); Kashapova, L (Kashapova, L.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 851 期: 1 文献号: 30 In this paper, we report two homologous circular-ribbon flares associated with two filament eruptions. They were well observed by the New Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory on 2014 March 5. Prior to the flare, two small-scale filaments enclosed by a circular pre-flare brightening lie along the circular polarity inversion line around the parasitic polarity, which has shown a continuous rotation since its first appearance. Two filaments eventually erupt in sequence associated with two homologous circular-ribbon flares and display an apparent writhing signature. Supplemented by the nonlinear force-free field extrapolation and the magnetic field squashing factor investigation, the following are revealed. (1) This event involves the emergence of magnetic flux ropes into a pre-existing polarity area, which yields the formation of a 3D null-point topology in the corona. (2) Continuous input of the free energy in the form of a flux rope from beneath the photosphere may drive a breakout-type reconnection occurring high in the corona, supported by the pre-flare brightening. (3) This initiation reconnection could release the constraint on the flux rope and trigger the MHD instability to first make filament F1 lose equilibrium. The subsequent more violent magnetic reconnection with the overlying flux is driven during the filament rising. In return, the eruption of filament F2 is further facilitated by the reduction of the magnetic tension force above. These two processes form a positive feedback to each other to cause the energetic mass eruption and flare. 2-05 Molecular Clouds and Star Formation 第 138 条,共 286 条 A simple criterion for selecting disks with evidence for dust growth and settling Liu, Y (Liu, Yao); Wang, HC (Wang, Hongchi); Henning, T (Henning, Thomas) ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 11 文献号: 208 Dust growth and settling, as an initial step of planet formation in protoplanetary disks, have an important impact on the appearance of the spectral energy distribution (SED). Selecting a promising sample of disks with signs of these processes helps to guide future observations towards a better understanding of the initial conditions for planet formation and disk evolution. Using a standard flared disk model, we conducted a large parameter study to investigate the effects of various disk parameters on the overall shape of the SED. We found that the flaring index and scale height can be used to mimic the effects of dust evolution on the SED. The influences of these two parameters on the infrared excess are very similar to that caused by dust evolution which have been shown in previous simulations where grain growth and settling are treated directly. Based on a statistic analysis of all the models in our grid, we proposed a criterion of Psi >= 0.6 to diagnose signs of dust evolution, where Psi is a ratio defined by dividing a linearly interpolated (between 24 mu m and 1.3 mm) flux at 70 mu m by the observed 70 mu m photometry. We tested the applicability of our criterion with the class II disks in the Taurus star formation region. 第 139 条,共 286 条 Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde III.

ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 609 文献号: A16 We mapped the kinetic temperature structure of the Orion molecular cloud 1 (OMC-1) with para-H2CO(J(KaKc) = 3(03)2(02), 3(22)- 2(21), and 3(21)-2(20)) using the APEX 12m telescope. This is compared with the temperatures derived 77 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS from the ratio of the NH3 (2, 2)/(1, 1) inversion lines and the dust emission. Using the RADEX non-LTE model, we derive the gas kinetic temperature modeling the measured averaged line ratios of para-H(2)CO3(22)-2(21)/3(03)-2(02) and 3(21)-2(20)/3(03)-2(02). The gas kinetic temperatures derived from the para-H(2)COline ratios are warm, ranging from 30 to > 200K with an average of 62 +/- 2K at a spatial density of 105 cm(-3). These temperatures are higher than those obtained from NH3 (2, 2) /(1, 1) and CH3CCH(6-5) in the OMC-1 region. The gas kinetic temperatures derived from para-H2CO agree with those obtained from warm dust components measured in the mid infrared (MIR), which indicates that the para-H2CO(3-2) ratios trace dense and warm gas. The cold dust components measured in the far infrared (FIR) are consistent with those measured with NH3 (2, 2) /(1, 1) and the CH3CCH(6-5) line series. With dust at MIR wavelengths and para-H2CO(3-2) on one side, and dust at FIR wavelengths, NH3 (2, 2) /(1, 1), and CH3CCH(6-5) on the other, dust and gas temperatures appear to be equivalent in the dense gas (n(H-2) greater than or similar to 104 cm 3) of the OMC-1 region, but provide a bimodal distribution, one more directly related to star formation than the other. The non-thermal velocity dispersions of para-H2CO are positively correlated with the gas kinetic temperatures in regions of strong non-thermal motion (Mach number > greater than or similar to 2 : 5) of the OMC-1, implying that the higher temperature traced by para-H2CO is related to turbulence on a similar to 0.06 pc scale. Combining the temperature measurements with para-H2CO and NH3 (2, 2) /(1, 1) line ratios, we find direct evidence for the dense gas along the northern part of the OMC-1 10 km s(-1) filament heated by radiation from the central Orion nebula. 第 140 条,共 286 条 L1188: A Promising Candidate for Cloud-Cloud Collisions Triggering the Formation of Low-and Intermediate-mass Stars Gong, Y (Gong, Yan); Fang, M (Fang, Min); Mao, RQ (Mao, Ruiqing); Zhang, SB (Zhang, Shaobo); Wang, Y (Wang, Yuan); Su, Y (Su, Yang); Chen, XP (Chen, Xuepeng); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Wang, HC (Wang, Hongchi); Lu, DR (Lu, Dengrong) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 835 期: 1 文献号: L14 We present a new large-scale (2 degrees x 2 degrees) simultaneous (CO)-C-12, (CO)-C-13, and (CO)-O-18 (J = 1-0) mapping of L1188 with the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7 m telescope. Our observations have revealed that L1188 consists of two nearly orthogonal filamentary molecular clouds at two clearly separated velocities. Toward the intersection showing large velocity spreads, we find several bridging features connecting the two clouds in velocity, and an open arc structure that exhibits high excitation temperatures, enhanced (CO)-C-12 and (CO)-C-13 emission, and broad (CO)-C-12 line wings. This agrees with the scenario that the two clouds are colliding with each other. The distribution of young stellar object (YSO) candidates implies an enhancement of star formation in the intersection of the two clouds. We suggest that a cloud-cloud collision happened in L1188 about 1 Myr ago, possibly triggering the formation of low-and intermediate-mass YSOs in the intersection. 第 141 条,共 286 条 78 On the local stellar populations Fuhrmann, K (Fuhrmann, Klaus); Chini, R (Chini, Rolf); Kaderhandt, L (Kaderhandt, Lena); Chen, ZW (Chen, Zhiwei) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 464 期: 3 页: 2610-2621 We present a study of the local stellar populations from a volume-complete all-sky survey of the about 500 bright stars with distances less than 25 pc and down to main-sequence effective temperatures T-eff >= 5300 K. The sample is dominated by a 93 per cent fraction of Population I stars, only 22 sources (5 per cent) are Population II stars, and 9 sources (2 per cent) are intermediate-disc stars. No source belongs to the halo. By following the mass of the stars instead of their light, the resulting subset of 136 long-lived stars distributes as 22 (16.2 per cent): 6 (4.4 per cent): 108 (79.4 per cent) for the Population II: intermediate disc: Population I, respectively. Along with the much larger scaleheight reached by Population II, this unbiased census of long-lived stars provides plain evidence for a starburst epoch in the early Milky Way, with the formation of a massive, rotationally supported, and dark Population II. The same conclusion arises from the substantial early chemical enrichment levels, exemplified here by the elements magnesium and iron, as it arises also from the local Population II white dwarfs. The kinematics, metallicity distribution functions, star formation rates, age-metallicity relations, the inventory of young stars, and the occurrence of blue straggler stars are discussed. A potentially new aspect of the survey is the possibility for substructure among the local Population II stars that may further subdivide into metal-poor and metal-rich sources. 第 142 条,共 286 条 The barium-to-iron enrichment versus age relation of ancient disc stars Fuhrmann, K (Fuhrmann, K.); Chini, R (Chini, R.); Kaderhandt, L (Kaderhandt, L.); Chen, Z (Chen, Z.); Lachaume, R (Lachaume, R.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 471 期: 3 页: 3768-3774 We report an intrinsically precise relation of the barium-to-iron enrichment as a function of age for a local, volume-complete (N = 30) sample of ancient Population II (tau >= 12 Gyr) and intermediate-disc stars (tau similar or equal to 10 Gyr), which suggests a common, r-process-dominated nucleosynthesis site for both elements in the early stages of the Milky Way. Deviants from this empirical relation are to a large extent identified as formerly known or new blue straggler stars. We report in particular the striking case of the Population II star HD159062, whose barium overabundance is difficult to explain without wind accretion of s-process material from a former asymptotic giant branch (AGB) primary that very likely survived as a white dwarf companion. The weak but significant barium enhancement that we measure for HR3578 and 104 Tau also suggests that both may be accompanied by faint degenerate companions. If confirmed through precision astrometry or direct imaging observations, this would mean a very efficient method to uncover ancient stellar remnant companions around solar-type stars. 第 143 条,共 286 条 Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 SiS in the Circumstellar Envelope of IRC+10216: Maser and Quasi-thermal Emission Gong, Y (Gong, Y.); Henkel, C (Henkel, C.); Ott, J (Ott, J.); Menten, KM (Menten, K. M.); Morris, MR (Morris, M. R.); Keller, D (Keller, D.); Claussen, MJ (Claussen, M. J.); Grasshoff, M (Grasshoff, M.); Mao, RQ (Mao, R. Q.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 843 期: 1 文献号: 54 We present new Effelsberg 100-m, Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), and Very Large Array observations of rotational SiS transitions in the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of IRC +10216. Thanks to the high angular resolution achieved by the ATCA observations, we unambiguously confirm that the molecule's J= 1 (R) 0 transition exhibits maser action in this CSE, as first suggested more than 30 years ago. The maser emission's radial velocity, peaking at a local standard of rest velocity of -39.862 +/- 0.065 km s-1, indicates that it arises from an almost fully accelerated shell. Monitoring observations show time variability of the SiS (1 (R) 0) maser. The two lowest-J SiS quasi-thermal emission lines trace a much more extended emitting region than previous high-J SiS observations. Their distributions show that the SiS quasi-thermal emission consists of two components: one is very compact (radius < 1."5, corresponding to <3 x 10(15) cm), and the other extends out to a radius >11''. An incomplete shell-like structure is found in the northeast, which is indicative of existing SiS shells. Clumpy structures are also revealed in this CSE. The gain of the SiS (1 (R) 0) maser (optical depths of about -5 at the blueshifted side and, assuming inversion throughout the entire line's velocity range, about -2 at the redshifted side) suggests that it is unsaturated. The SiS (1 (R) 0) maser can be explained in terms of ro-vibrational excitation caused by infrared pumping, and we propose that infrared continuum emission is the main pumping source. 第 144 条,共 286 条 First Results from BISTRO: A SCUBA-2 Polarimeter Survey of the Gould Belt Ward-Thompson, D (Ward-Thompson, Derek); Pattle, K (Pattle, Kate); Bastien, P (Bastien, Pierre); Furuya, RS (Furuya, Ray S.); Kwon, W (Kwon, Woojin); Lai, SP (Lai, Shih-Ping); Qiu, KP (Qiu, Keping); Berry, D (Berry, David); Choi, M (Choi, Minho); Coude, S (Coude, Simon); Di Francesco, J (Di Francesco, James); Hoang, T (Hoang, Thiem); Franzmann, E (Franzmann, Erica); Friberg, P (Friberg, Per); Graves, SF (Graves, Sarah F.); Greaves, JS (Greaves, Jane S.); Houde, M (Houde, Martin); Johnstone, D (Johnstone, Doug); Kirk, JM (Kirk, Jason M.); Koch, PM (Koch, Patrick M.); Kwon, J (Kwon, Jungmi); Lee, CW (Lee, Chang Won); Li, D (Li, Di); Matthews, BC (Matthews, Brenda C.); Mottram, JC (Mottram, Joseph C.); Parsons, H (Parsons, Harriet); Pon, A (Pon, Andy); Rao, R (Rao, Ramprasad); Rawlings, M (Rawlings, Mark); Shinnaga, H (Shinnaga, Hiroko); Sadavoy, S (Sadavoy, Sarah); van Loo, S (van Loo, Sven); Aso, Y (Aso, Yusuke); Byun, DY (Byun, Do-Young); Eswaraiah, C (Eswaraiah, Chakali); Chen, HR (Chen, Huei-Ru); Chen, MCY (Chen, Mike C. -Y.); Chen, WP (Chen, Wen Ping); Ching, TC (Ching, Tao-Chung); Cho, J (Cho, Jungyeon); Chrysostomou, A (Chrysostomou, Antonio); Chung, EJ (Chung, Eun Jung); Doi, YS (Doi, Yasuo); Drabek-Maunder, E (Drabek-Maunder, Emily); Eyres, SPS (Eyres, Stewart P.

We discuss the survey's aims and objectives. We describe the rationale behind the survey, and the questions that. the survey will aim to answer. The most important of these is the role of magnetic fields in the star formation process on the scale of individual filaments and cores in dense regions. We describe the data acquisition and reduction processes for POL-2, demonstrating both repeatability and consistency with previous data. We present a first-look analysis of the first results from the BISTRO survey in the OMC 1 region. We see that the magnetic field lies approximately perpendicular to the famous "integral filament" in the densest regions of that filament. Furthermore, we see an "hourglass" magnetic field morphology extending beyond the densest region of the integral filament into the less-dense surrounding material, and discuss possible causes for this. We also discuss the more complex morphology seen along the Orion Bar region. We examine the morphology of the field along the lower-density northeastern filament. We find consistency with previous theoretical models that predict magnetic fields lying parallel to low-density, non-self-gravitating filaments, and perpendicular to higher-density, self-gravitating filaments. 第 145 条,共 286 条 First Millimeter Detection of the Disk around a Young, Isolated, Planetary-mass Object Bayo, A (Bayo, Amelia); Joergens, V (Joergens, Viki); Liu, Y (Liu, Yao); Brauer, R (Brauer, Robert); Olofsson, J (Olofsson, 79 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS Johan); Arancibia, J (Arancibia, Javier); Pinilla, P (Pinilla, Paola); Wolf, S (Wolf, Sebastian); Ruge, JP (Ruge, Jan Philipp); Henning, T (Henning, Thomas); Natta, A (Natta, Antonella); Johnston, KG (Johnston, Katharine G.); Bonnefoy, M (Bonnefoy, Mickael); Beuther, H (Beuther, Henrik); Chauvin, G (Chauvin, Gael) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 841 期: 1 文献号: L11 OTS44 is one of only four free-floating planets known to have a disk. We have previously shown that it is the coolest and least massive known free-floating planet (similar to 12 M-Jup) with a substantial disk that is actively accreting. We have obtained Band 6 (233 GHz) ALMA continuum data of this very young disk-bearing object. The data show a clear unresolved detection of the source. We obtained disk-mass estimates via empirical correlations derived for young, higher-mass, central (substellar) objects. The range of values obtained are between 0.07 and 0.63 M-circle plus (dust masses). We compare the properties of this unique disk with those recently reported around higher-mass (brown dwarfs) young objects in order to infer constraints on its mechanism of formation. While extreme assumptions on dust temperature yield disk-mass values that could slightly diverge from the general trends found for more massive brown dwarfs, a range of sensible values provide disk masses compatible with a unique scaling relation between M-dust and M* through the substellar domain down to planetary masses. 第 146 条,共 286 条 NGC 1980 Is Not a Foreground Population of Orion: Spectroscopic Survey of Young Stars with Low Extinction in Orion Fang, M (Fang, Min); Kim, JS (Kim, Jinyoung Serena); Pascucci, I (Pascucci, Ilaria); Apai, D (Apai, Daniel); Zhang, L (Zhang, Lan); Sicilia-Aguilar, A (Sicilia-Aguilar, Aurora); Alonso-Martinez, M (Alonso-Martinez, Miguel); Eiroa, C (Eiroa, Carlos); Wang, HC (Wang, Hongchi) ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL 卷: 153 期: 4 文献号: 188 We perform a spectroscopic survey of the foreground population in Orion. A with MMT/Hectospec. We use these data, along with archival spectroscopic data and photometric data, to derive spectral types, extinction values, and masses for 691 stars. Using the Spitzer Space Telescope data, we characterize the disk properties of these sources. We identify 37 new transition disk (TD) objects, 1 globally depleted disk candidate, and 7 probable young debris disks. We discover an object with a mass of. less than 0.018-0.030 M-circle dot, which harbors a flaring disk. Using the Ha emission line, we characterize the accretion activity of the sources with disks, and confirm that the. fraction of accreting TDs is lower than that of optically thick disks (46% +/- 7% versus 73% +/- 9%, respectively). Using kinematic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and APOGEE INfrared Spectroscopy of the Young Nebulous Clusters program (IN-SYNC), we confirm that the foreground population shows similar kinematics to their local molecular clouds and other young stars in the same regions. Using the isochronal ages, we find that the foreground population has a median age of. around 1-2 Myr, which is similar to that of other young stars in Orion. A. Therefore, our results argue against the presence of a large and old foreground cluster in front of Orion.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 2 文献号: 80 We report the detection of a curved magnetic field in the ring-like shell of the bubble N4, derived from near-infrared polarization of reddened diskless stars located behind this bubble. The magnetic field in the shell is curved and parallel to the ring-like shell, and its strength is estimated to be similar to 120 mu G in the plane of the sky. The magnetic field strength in the shell is significantly enhanced compared to the local field strength. We calculate the mass-to-flux ratio for the submillimeter clumps in the shell and find that they are all magnetically subcritical. Our results demonstrate that the magnetic field strengthens as the interstellar medium is compressed into a shell, and suggest that the magnetic field has the potential to hinder star formation triggered by H II region expansion. 第 148 条,共 286 条 Multiplicity among Solar-type Stars Fuhrmann, K (Fuhrmann, K.); Chini, R (Chini, R.); Kaderhandt, L (Kaderhandt, L.); Chen, Z (Chen, Z.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 836 期: 1 文献号: 139 We present a multiplicity census for a volume-complete all-sky survey of 422 stars with distances less than 25 pc and primary main-sequence effective temperatures T-eff >= 5300. K. Very similar to previous results that have been presented for various subsets of this survey, we confirm the positive correlation of the stellar multiplicities with primary mass. We find for the F-and G-type Population. I stars that 58% are non-single and 21% are in triple or higher level systems. For the old intermediate-disk and Population. II stars-virtually all of G type and less massive -even two out of three sources prove to be non-single. These numbers being lower limits because of the continuous flow of new discoveries, the unbiased survey clearly demonstrates that the standard case for solar-type field stars is a hydrogen-burning source with at least one ordinary or degenerate stellar companion, and a surprisingly large number of stars are organized in multiple systems. A principal consequence is that orbital evolution, including the formation of blue straggler stars, is a potentially important issue on all spatial scales and timescales for a significant percentage of the stellar systems, in particular among Population. II stars. We discuss a number of recent observations of known or suspected companions in the local survey, including a new detection of a double- lined Ba- Bb subsystem to the visual binary HR 8635. 第 149 条,共 286 条 How Do Stars Gain Their Mass?

The solution to this problem may lie in episodic mass accretion -- prolonged periods of very low accretion punctuated by short bursts of rapid accretion. However, the timescale and amplitude for variability at the protostellar phase is almost entirely unconstrained. In "A JCMT/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star Forming Regions", we are monitoring monthly with SCUBA-2 the sub-mm emission in eight fields within nearby (<500 pc) star forming regions to measure the accretion variability of protostars. The total survey area of similar to 1.6 sq.deg. includes similar to 105 peaks with peaks brighter than 0.5 Jy/beam (43 associated with embedded protostars or disks) and 237 peaks of 0.125-0.5 Jy/beam (50 with embedded protostars or disks). Each field has enough bright peaks for flux calibration relative to other peaks in the same field, which improves upon the nominal flux calibration uncertainties of sub-mm observations to reach a precision of similar to 2-3% rms, and also provides quantified confidence in any measured variability. The timescales and amplitudes of any sub-mm variation will then be converted into variations in accretion rate and subsequently used to infer the physical causes of the variability. This survey is the first dedicated survey for sub-mm variability and complements other transient surveys at optical and near-IR wavelengths, which are not sensitive to accretion variability of deeply embedded protostars. 第 150 条,共 286 条 A simple criterion for selecting disks with evidence for dust growth and settling Liu, Y (Liu, Yao); Wang, HC (Wang, Hongchi); Henning, T (Henning, Thomas) ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 11 文献号: 208 Dust growth and settling, as an initial step of planet formation in protoplanetary disks, have an important impact on the appearance of the spectral energy distribution (SED). Selecting a promising sample of disks with signs of these processes helps to guide future observations towards a better understanding of the initial conditions for planet formation and disk evolution. Using a standard flared disk model, we conducted a large parameter study to investigate the effects of various disk parameters on the overall shape of the SED. We found that the flaring index and scale height can be used to mimic the effects of dust evolution on the SED. The influences of these two parameters on the infrared excess are very similar to that caused by dust evolution which have been shown in previous simulations where grain growth and settling are treated directly. Based on a statistic analysis of all the models in our grid, we proposed a criterion of Psi >= 0.6 to diagnose signs of dust evolution, where Psi is a ratio defined by dividing a linearly interpolated (between 24 mu m and 1.3 mm) flux at 70 mu m by the observed 70 mu m photometry. We tested the applicability of our criterion with the class II disks in the Taurus star formation region. 第 151 条,共 286 条 The properties of the inner disk around HL Tau: Multi-wavelength modeling of the dust emission Liu, Y (Liu, Yao); Henning, T (Henning, Thomas); Carrasco-Gonzalez, C (Carrasco-Gonzalez, Carlos); Chandler, CJ (Chandler, Claire J.); Linz, H (Linz, Hendrik); Birnstiel, T (Birnstiel, Til); van Boekel, R (van Boekel, Roy); Perez, LM (Perez, Laura M.); Flock, M (Flock, Mario); Testi, L (Testi, Leonardo); Rodriguez, LF (Rodriguez, Luis F.); Galvan-Madrid, R (Galvan-Madrid, Roberto) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 607 文献号: A74 We conducted a detailed radiative transfer modeling of the dust emission from the circumstellar disk around HL Tau. The goal of our study is to derive the surface density profile of the inner disk and its structure. In addition to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array images at Band 3 (2.9 mm), Band 6 (1.3 mm), and Band 7 (0.87 mm), the most recent Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations at 7mm were included in the analysis. A simulated annealing algorithm was invoked to search for the optimum model. The radiative transfer analysis demonstrates that most radial components (i.e., > 6AU) of the disk become optically thin at a wavelength of 7 mm, which allows us to constrain, for the first time, the dust density distribution in the inner region of the disk. We found that a homogeneous grain size distribution is not sufficient to explain the observed images at different wavelengths simultaneously, while models with a shallower grain size distribution in the inner disk work well. We found clear evidence that larger grains are trapped in the first bright ring. Our results imply that dust evolution has already taken place in the disk at a relatively young (i.e., similar to 1 Myr) age. We compared the midplane temperature distribution, optical depth, and properties of various dust rings with those reported previously. Using the Toomre parameter, we briefly discussed the gravitational instability as a potential mechanism for the origin of the dust clump detected in the first bright ring via the VLA observations. 第 152 条,共 286 条 Stellar variability from Dome A, Antarctica Wang, LZ (Wang, Lingzhi); Macri, LM (Macri, L.

WIDE-FIELD VARIABILITY SURVEYS: A 21ST CENTURY PERSPECTIVE EPJ Web of Conferences 卷: 152 文献号: UNSP 02010 The Antarctic plateau is one of the best observing sites on the surface of the Earth thanks to its extremely cold, dry, stable and transparent atmosphere conditions. Various astronomical activities are underway there and the Chinese Center for Antarctic Astronomy (CCAA) is dedicated to developing Antarctic astronomy at the highest point, Dome A or the Chinese Kunlun station. So far a large number of images have been collected from a 14.5-cm quad-telescope called the Chinese Small Telescope AR-ray (CSTAR) and the first two of a trio of 50-cm Antarctic Survey Telescopes (AST3-1 and AST3-2). 会议名称: 22nd Los Alamos Stellar Pulsation Conference 会议日期: NOV 28-DEC 02, 2016 会议地点: San Pedro de Atacama, CHILE 2-06 Galaxy formation and wide Field Sky Survey 第 153 条,共 286 条 THE QUENCHED MASS PORTION OF STAR-FORMING GALAXIES AND THE ORIGIN OF THE STAR FORMATION SEQUENCE SLOPE Pan, ZZ (Pan, Zhizheng); Zheng, XZ (Zheng, Xianzhong); Kong, X (Kong, Xu) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 834 期: 1 文献号: 39 Observationally, a massive disk galaxy can harbor a bulge component that is comparably inactive as a quiescent galaxy. It has been speculated that the quenched component contained in star-forming galaxies (SFGs) is the reason why the star formation main sequence (MS) has a shallow slope at high masses. In this paper, we present a toy model to quantify the quenched mass portion of SFGs (f(Q)) at fixed stellar mass (M-*) and to reconcile the MS slopes in both the low-and the high-mass regimes. In this model, each SFG is composed of a star-forming plus a quenched component. The mass of the star-forming component (M-SF) correlates with the star formation rate (SFR) following a relation SFR alpha M-SF(alpha SF), where alpha(SF) similar to 1.0. The quenched component contributes to the stellar mass but not to the SFR. It is thus possible to quantify f(Q) based on the departure of the observed MS slope a from aSF. Adopting the redshift-dependent MS slope reported by Whitaker et al., we explore the evolution of the f(Q) -M-* relations over z = [0.5, 2.5]. We find that Milky Way-like SFGs (with M-* approximate to 10(10.7) M-circle dot) typically have an f(Q) = 30%-40% at z similar to 2.25, whereas this value rapidly rises up to 70%-80% at z similar to 82 0.75. The origin of an alpha similar to 1.0 MS slope seen in the low-mass regime is also discussed. We argue for a scenario in which the majority of low-mass SFGs stay in a "steady-stage" star formation phase. In this phase, the SFR is mainly regulated by stellar feedback and not significantly influenced by the quenching mechanisms, thus remaining roughly constant over cosmic time. This scenario successfully produces an alpha similar to 1.0 MS slope, as well as the observed MS evolution from z = 2.5 to z - 0 at low masses. 第 154 条,共 286 条 First Spectroscopic Confirmations of z similar to 7.0 Ly alpha Emitting Galaxies in the LAGER Survey Hu, WD (Hu, Weida); Wang, JX (Wang, Junxian); Zheng, ZY (Zheng, Zhen-Ya); Malhotra, S (Malhotra, Sangeeta); Infante, L (Infante, Leopoldo); Rhoads, J (Rhoads, James); Gonzalez, A (Gonzalez, Alicia); Walker, AR (Walker, Alistair R.); Jiang, LH (Jiang, Linhua); Jiang, CY (Jiang, Chunyan); Hibon, P (Hibon, Pascale); Barrientos, LF (Felipe Barrientos, L.); Finkelstein, S (Finkelstein, Steven); Galaz, G (Galaz, Gaspar); Kang, WY (Kang, Wenyong); Kong, X (Kong, Xu); Tilvi, V (Tilvi, Vithal); Yang, H (Yang, Huan); Zheng, XZ (Zheng, XianZhong) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 845 期: 2 文献号: L16 Narrowband imaging is a highly successful approach for finding large numbers of high-redshift Ly alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) up to z similar to 6.6. However, at z greater than or similar to 7 there are as of yet only three narrowband selected LAEs with spectroscopic confirmations (two at z similar to 6.9-7.0, one at z similar to 7.3), which hinders extensive studies on cosmic reionization and galaxy evolution at this key epoch. We have selected 23 candidate z similar to 6.9 LAEs in COSMOS field with the large area narrowband survey Lyman-Alpha Galaxies at the End of Reionization (LAGER). In this work, we present spectroscopic follow-up observations of 12 candidates using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph on Magellan. For nine of these, the observations are sufficiently deep to detect the expected lines. Ly alpha emission lines are identified in six sources (yielding a success rate of 2/3), including three luminous LAEs with Ly alpha luminosities of L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.5) erg s(-1), the highest among known spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at greater than or similar to 7.0. This triples the sample size of spectroscopically confirmed narrowband selected LAEs at z greater than or similar to 7, and confirms the bright-end bump in the Ly alpha luminosity function we previously derived based on the photometric sample, supporting a patchy reionization scenario. Two luminous LAEs appear physically linked with a projected distance of 1.1 pMpc and velocity difference of similar to 170 km s(-1). They likely sit in a common ionized bubble produced by themselves or with close neighbors, which reduces the intergalactic medium attenuation of Ly alpha. A tentative narrow N V lambda 1240 line is seen in one source, hinting at activity of a central massive black hole with metal-rich line-emitting gas. 第 155 条,共 286 条 The Origins of UV-optical Color Gradients in Star-forming Galaxies at z similar to 2: Predominant Dust Gradients but Negligible sSFR Gradients Liu, FS (Liu, F.

In this Letter, we extend our previous work on the origins of NUV - B color gradients in star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z similar to 1 to those at z similar to 2. We use a sample of 1335 large (semimajor axis radius R-SMA > 0.'' 18) SFGs with extended UV emission out to 2R(SMA) in the mass range M-* = 10(9)-10(11) M-circle dot at 1.5 < z < 2.8 in the CANDELS/GOODS-S and UDS fields. We show that these SFGs generally have negative NUV - B color gradients (redder centers), and their color gradients strongly increase with galaxy mass. We also show that the global rest-frame FUV - NUV color is approximately linear with A(V), which is derived by modeling the observed integrated FUV to NIR spectral energy distributions of the galaxies. Applying this integrated calibration to our spatially resolved data, we find a negative dust gradient (more dust extinguished in the centers), which steadily becomes steeper with galaxy mass. We further find that the NUV - B color gradients become nearly zero after correcting for dust gradients regardless of galaxy mass. This indicates that the sSFR gradients are negligible and dust reddening is likely the principal cause of negative UV-optical color gradients in these SFGs. Our findings support that the buildup of the stellar mass in SFGs at Cosmic Noon is self-similar inside 2R(SMA). 第 156 条,共 286 条 An Imperfectly Passive Nature: Bright Submillimeter Emission from Dust-obscured Star Formation in the z=3.717 "Passive" System, ZF 20115 Simpson, JM (Simpson, J.

Z.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 844 期: 1 文献号: L10 The identification of high-redshift, massive galaxies with old stellar populations may pose challenges to some models of galaxy formation. However, to securely classify a galaxy as quiescent, it is necessary to exclude significant ongoing star formation, something that can be challenging to achieve at high redshifts. In this Letter, we analyze deep ALMA/870 mu m and SCUBA-2/450 mu m imaging of the claimed "post-starburst" galaxy ZF 20115 at z = 3.717 that exhibits a strong Balmer break and absorption lines. The rest-frame far-infrared imaging identifies a luminous starburst 0.'' 4 +/- 0.'' 1 (similar to 3 kpc in projection) from the position of the ultraviolet/optical emission and is consistent with lying at the redshift of ZF 20115. The star-forming component, with an obscured star formation rate of 100(-70)(+15) M-circle dot yr(-1), is undetected in the rest-frame ultraviolet but contributes significantly to the lower angular resolution photometry at rest-frame wavelengths greater than or similar to 3500 angstrom. This contribution from the obscured starburst, especially in the Spitzer/IRAC wavebands, significantly complicates the determination of a reliable stellar mass for the ZF 20015 system, and we conclude that this source does not pose a challenge to current models of galaxy formation. The multi-wavelength observations of ZF 20115 unveil a complex system with an intricate and spatially varying star formation history. ZF 20115 demonstrates that understanding high-redshift obscured starbursts will only be possible with multi-wavelength studies that include high-resolution observations, available with the James Webb Space Telescope, at mid-infrared wavelengths. 第 157 条,共 286 条 First Results from the Lyman Alpha Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization (LAGER) Survey: Cosmological Reionization at z similar to 7 Zheng, ZY (Zheng, Zhen-Ya); Wang, JX (Wang, Junxian); Rhoads, J (Rhoads, James); Infante, L (Infante, Leopoldo); Malhotra, S (Malhotra, Sangeeta); Hu, WD (Hu, Weida); Walker, AR (Walker, Alistair R.); Jiang, LH (Jiang, Linhua); Jiang, CY (Jiang, Chunyan); Hibon, P (Hibon, Pascale); Gonzalez, A (Gonzalez, Alicia); Kong, X (Kong, Xu); Zheng, XZ (Zheng, XianZhong); Galaz, G (Galaz, Gaspar); Barrientos, LF (Felipe Barrientos, L.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 842 期: 2 文献号: L22 We present the first results from the ongoing Lyman Alpha Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization (LAGER) project, which is the largest narrowband survey for z similar to 7 galaxies to date. Using a specially built narrowband filter NB964 for the superb large-area Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NOAO/CTIO 4 m Blanco telescope, LAGER has collected 34 hr NB964 narrowband imaging data in the 3 deg(2) COSMOS field. We have identified 23 Ly alpha Emitter candidates at z = 6.9 in the central 2-deg(2) region, where DECam and public COSMOS multi-band images exist. The resulting luminosity function (LF) can be described as a Schechter function modified by a significant excess at the bright end (four galaxies with L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.4 +/- 0.2) erg s(-1)). The number density at L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.4 +/- 0.2) erg s(-1) is little changed from z = 6.6, while at fainter L-Ly alpha it is substantially reduced. Overall, we see a fourfold reduction in Ly alpha luminosity density from z = 5.7 to z = 6.9. Combined with a more modest evolution of the continuum UV luminosity density, this suggests a factor of similar to 3 suppression of Ly alpha by radiative transfer through the z similar to 7 intergalactic medium (IGM). It indicates an IGM neutral fraction of x(HI) similar to 0.4-0.6 (assuming Ly alpha velocity offsets of 100-200 km s(-1)). The changing shape of the Ly alpha LF between z less than or similar to 6.6 and z = 6.9 supports the hypothesis of ionized bubbles in a patchy reionization at z similar to 7. 第 158 条,共 286 条 83 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS AGN-host connection at 0.5 < z < 2.5: A rapid evolution of AGN fraction in red galaxies during the last 10 Gyr Wang, T (Wang, Tao); Elbaz, D (Elbaz, D.); Alexander, DM (Alexander, D.

ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 601 文献号: A63 We explore the dependence of the incidence of moderate-luminosity (L0.5-8 keV = 10(41.9-43.7) erg s(-1)) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the distribution of their accretion rates on host color at 0.5 < z < 2.5. Based on the deepest X-ray and UV-to-far-infrared data in the two The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields, we identify 221 AGNs within a mass-complete parent galaxy sample down to M-* > 10(10) M-circle dot. We use extinction-corrected rest-frame U-V colors to divide both AGN hosts and non-AGN galaxies into red sequence (red), green valley (green), and blue cloud (blue) populations. We find that the fraction of galaxies hosting an AGN at fixed X-ray luminosity increases with stellar mass and redshift for all the three galaxy populations, independent of their colors. However, both the AGN fraction at fixed stellar mass and its evolution with redshift are clearly dependent on host colors. Most notably, red galaxies have the lowest AGN fraction (similar to 5%) at z similar to 1 yet with most rapid evolution with redshift, increasing by a factor of similar to 5 (24%) at z similar to 2. Green galaxies exhibit the highest AGN fraction across all redshifts, which is most pronounced at z similar to 2 with more than half of them hosting an AGN at M-* > 10(10.6) M-circle dot. Together with the high AGN fraction in red galaxies at z similar to 2, this indicates that (X-ray) AGNs could be important in both transforming (quenching) star-forming galaxies into quiescent ones and subsequently maintaining their quiescence at high redshift. Furthermore, consistent with previous studies at lower redshifts, we show that the probability of hosting an AGN for the total galaxy population can be characterized by a universal Eddington ratio (as approximated by L-X/M-*) distribution (p(lambda(Edd)) similar to lambda(-0.4)(Edd) Edd), which is independent on host mass. Yet consistent with their different AGN fractions, galaxies with different colors appear to also have different p(lambda(Edd)) with red galaxies exhibiting more rapid redshift evolution compared with that for green and blue galaxies. Evidence for a steeper power-law distribution of p(lambda(Edd)) in red galaxies (p(lambda(Edd)) similar to lambda(-0.6)(Edd) Edd) is also presented, though larger samples are needed to confirm. These results suggest that the AGN accretion or the growth of supermassive black holes is related to their host properties, and may also influence their hosts in a different mode dependent on the host color. 第 159 条,共 286 条 DEEP CFHT Y-BAND IMAGING OF VVDS-F22 FIELD.

The observations were conducted using the WIRCam instrument mounted at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The total on-sky time was 9 hours, distributed uniformly over 18 tiles. The scientific goals of the project are to select faint quasar candidates at redshift z > 2.2, and constrain the photometric redshifts for quasars and galaxies. In this paper, we present the observation and the image reduction, as well as the photometric redshifts that we derived by combining our Y-band data with the CFHTLenS u*g'r'i'z' optical data and UKIDSS DXS JHK near-infrared data. With J-band image as reference total similar to 80,000 galaxies are detected in the final mosaic down to Y-band 5 sigma point source limiting depth of 22.86 mag. Compared with the similar to 3500 spectroscopic redshifts, our photometric redshifts for galaxies with z < 1.5 and i'less than or similar to 24.0 mag have a small systematic offset of vertical bar Delta z vertical bar less than or similar to 0.2, 1 sigma scatter 0.03< (sigma)Delta(z) < 0.06, and less than 4.0% of catastrophic failures. We also compare to the CFHTLenS photometric redshifts, and find that ours are more reliable at z greater than or similar to 0.6 because of the inclusion of the near-infrared bands. In particular, including the Y-band data can improve the accuracy at z similar to 1.0-2.0 because the location of the 4000 angstrom-break is better constrained.

The spectral lags of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been widely used to investigate the possible LIV effect. However, all current investigations used lags extracted in the observer frame only. In this work, we present, for the first time, an analysis of the LIV effect and its redshift dependence in the cosmological rest frame. Using a sample of 56 GRBs with known redshifts, we obtain a robust limit on LIV by fitting their rest-frame spectral lag data using both a maximization of the likelihood function and a minimum chi(2) statistic. Our analysis indicates that there is no evidence of LIV. Additionally, we test the LIV in different redshift ranges by dividing the full sample into four redshift bins. We also find no evidence for the redshift variation of the LIV effect. 第 161 条,共 286 条 Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 A New Measurement of the Spectral Lag of Gamma-Ray Bursts and its Implications for Spectral Evolution Behaviors New test of weak equivalence principle using polarized light from astrophysical events Shao, L (Shao, Lang); Zhang, BB (Zhang, Bin-Bin); Wang, FR (Wang, Fu-Ri); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Cheng, YH (Cheng, Ye-Hao); Zhang, X (Zhang, Xi); Yu, BY (Yu, Bang-Yao); Xi, BJ (Xi, Bao-Jia); Wang, X (Wang, Xue); Feng, HX (Feng, Huan-Xue); Zhang, M (Zhang, Meng); Xu, D (Xu, Dong) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 844 期: 2 文献号: 126 We carry out a systematical study of the spectral lag properties of 50 single-pulsed gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor. By dividing the light curves into multiple consecutive energy channels, we provide a new measurement of the spectral lag that is independent of energy channel selections. We perform a detailed statistical study of our new measurements. We find two similar power-law energy dependencies of both the pulse arrival time and pulse width. Our new results on the power-law indices would favor the relativistic geometric effects for the origin of spectral lag. However, a complete theoretical framework that can fully account for the diverse energy dependencies of both arrival time and pulse width revealed in this work is still lacking. We also study the spectral evolution behaviors of the GRB pulses. We find that a GRB pulse with negligible spectral lag would usually have a shorter pulse duration and would appear to have a "hardness-intensity tracking" behavior, and a GRB pulse with a significant spectral lag would usually have a longer pulse duration and would appear to have a "hard-to-soft" behavior. Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Lan, MX (Lan, Mi-Xiang); Gao, H (Gao, He); Dai, ZG (Dai, Zi-Gao); Meszaros, P (Meszaros, Peter) PHYSICAL REVIEW D 卷: 95 期: 10 文献号: 103004 Einstein's weak equivalence principle (WEP) states that any freely falling, uncharged test particle follows the same identical trajectory independent of its internal structure and composition. Since the polarization of a photon is considered to be part of its internal structure, we propose that polarized photons from astrophysical transients, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and fast radio bursts (FRBs), can be used to constrain the accuracy of the WEP through the Shapiro time delay effect. Assuming that the arrival time delays of photons with different polarizations are mainly attributed to the gravitational potential of the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies, we show that a strict upper limit on the differences of the parametrized post-Newtonian parameter. value for the polarized optical emission of GRB 120308A is Delta(gamma) < 1.2 x 10(-10), for the polarized gamma-ray emission of GRB 100826A is Delta(gamma) < 1.2 x 10(-10), and for the polarized radio emission of FRB 150807 is Delta(gamma) < 2.2 x 10(-6). These are the first direct verifications of the WEP for multiband photons with different polarizations. In particular, the result from FRB 150807 provides the most stringent limit to date on a deviation from the WEP, improving by one order of magnitude the previous best result based on Crab pulsar photons with different energies. 第 162 条,共 286 条 Constraining Anisotropic Lorentz Violation Spectral-lag Transition of GRB 160625B via the Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Zhang, BB (Zhang, Bin-Bin); Shao, L (Shao, Lang); Meszaros, P (Meszaros, Peter); Kostelecky, VA (Kostelecky, V. Alan) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 842 期: 2 文献号: 115 Violations of Lorentz invariance can lead to an energy-dependent vacuum dispersion of light, which results in arrival-time differences of photons with different energies arising from a given transient source. In this work, direction-dependent dispersion constraints are obtained on nonbirefringent Lorentz-violating effects using the observed spectral lags of the gamma-ray burst GRB 160625B. This burst has unusually large high-energy photon statistics, so we can obtain constraints from the true spectral time lags of bunches of high-energy photons rather than from the rough time lag of a single highest-energy photon. Also, GRB 160625B is the only burst to date having a well-defined transition from positive lags to negative lags, providing a unique opportunity to distinguish Lorentz-violating effects from any source-intrinsic time lag in the emission of photons of different energy bands. Our results place comparatively robust two-sided constraints on a variety of isotropic and anisotropic coefficients for Lorentz violation, including the first bounds on Lorentz-violating effects from operators of mass dimension 10 in the photon sector. 第 163 条,共 286 条 第 164 条,共 286 条 An Improved Method to Measure the Cosmic Curvature Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 2 文献号: 160 In this paper, we propose an improved model-independent method to constrain the cosmic curvature by combining the most recent Hubble parameter H(z) and supernovae Ia (SNe Ia) data. Based on the H(z) data, we first use the model-independent smoothing technique, Gaussian processes, to construct a distance modulus mu(H)(z) which is susceptible to the cosmic curvature parameter Omega(k). In contrary to previous studies, the light-curve-fitting parameters, which account for the distance estimation of SN (mu(SN)( z)), are set free to investigate whether Omega(k) has a dependence on them. By comparing mu(H)(z) to mu(SN)(z), we put limits on Omega(k). Our results confirm that Omega(k) is independent of the SN light-curve parameters. Moreover, we show that the measured Omega(k) is in good agreement with zero cosmic curvature, implying that there is no significant deviation from a flat universe at the current observational data level. We also test the influence of different H(z) samples and different Hubble constant H-0 values, finding that different H( z) samples do not have a significant impact on the constraints. However, different H-0 priors can affect the constraints of Ok to some degree. The prior of H-0 = 73.24 +/- 1.74 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) gives a value of Omega(k), a little bit above the 1 sigma confidence level away from 0, but H-0 = 69.6 +/-. 0.7 km s(-1) Mpc(-1) gives it below 1 sigma. 第 165 条,共 286 条 85 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS Impact of a Locally Measured H-0 on the Interpretation of Cosmic-chronometer Data Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Melia, F (Melia, Fulvio); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: 270 Many measurements in cosmology depend on the use of integrated distances or time, but. galaxies evolving passively on a timescale much longer than their age difference allow us to determine the expansion rate H(z) solely as a function of the redshift-time derivative dz/dt. These model-independent "cosmic chronometers" can therefore be powerful discriminators for testing different cosmologies. In previous applications, the available sources strongly disfavored models (such as Lambda CDM) predicting a variable acceleration, preferring instead a steady expansion rate over the redshift range 0 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 2. A more recent catalog of 30 objects appears to suggest non-steady expansion. In this paper, we show that such a result is entirely due to the inclusion of a high, locally inferred value of the Hubble constant H-0 as an additional datum in a set of otherwise pure cosmic-chronometer measurements. This H-0, however, is not the same as the background Hubble constant if the local expansion rate is influenced by a Hubble Bubble. Used on their own, the cosmic chronometers completely reverse this conclusion, favoring instead a constant expansion rate out to z similar to 2. 第 166 条,共 286 条 New limits on the photon mass with radio pulsars in the Magellanic clouds Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Zhang, EK (Zhang, Er-Kang); Zhang, SB (Zhang, Song-Bo); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 2 文献号: 13 A conservative constraint on the rest mass of the photon can be estimated under the assumption that the frequency dependence of dispersion from astronomical sources is mainly contributed by the nonzero photon mass effect. Photon mass limits have been set earlier through the optical emissions of the Crab Nebula pulsar, but we demonstrate that these limits can be significantly improved with the dispersion measure (DM) measurements of radio pulsars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The combination of DM measurements of pulsars and distances of the Magellanic Clouds provides a strict upper limit on the photon mass as low as m(gamma) <= 2.0 x 10(-45) g, which is at least four orders of magnitude smaller than the constraint from the Crab Nebula pulsar. Although our limit is not as tight as the current best result (similar to 10(-47) g) from a fast radio burst (FRB 150418) at a cosmological distance, the cosmological origin of FRB 150418 remains under debate; and our limit can reach the same high precision of FRB 150418 when it has an extragalactic origin (similar to 10(-45) g). 第 167 条,共 286 条 Gamma-ray burst cosmology: Hubble diagram and star formation history Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN PHYSICS D 卷: 26 期: 2 文献号: 1730002 We briefly introduce the disadvantages for Type Ia 86 supernovae (SNe Ia) as standard candles to measure the universe, and suggest Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can serve as a powerful tool for probing the properties of high redshift universe. We use GRBs as distance indicators in constructing the Hubble diagram at redshifts beyond the current reach of SNe Ia observations. Since the progenitors of long GRBs (LGRBs) are confirmed to be massive stars, they are deemed as an effective approach to study the cosmic star formation rate (SFR). A detailed representation of how to measure high-z SFR using GRBs is presented. Moreover, first stars can form only in structures that are suitably dense, which can be parametrized by defining the minimum dark matter halo mass M-min. Mmin must play a crucial role in star formation. The association of LGRBs with the collapses of massive stars also indicates that the GRB data can be applied to constrain the minimum halo mass Mmin and to investigate star formation in dark matter halos. 第 168 条,共 286 条 A New Test of Lorentz Invariance Violation: The Spectral Lag Transition of GRB 160625B Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Zhang, BB (Zhang, Bin-Bin); Shao, L (Shao, Lang); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Meszaros, P (Meszaros, Peter) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 834 期: 2 文献号: L13 Possible violations of Lorentz invariance (LIV) have been investigated for a long time using the observed spectral lags of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, these generally have relied on using a single photon in the highest energy range. Furthermore, the search for LIV lags has been hindered by our ignorance concerning the intrinsic time lag in different energy bands. GRB 160625B, the only burst so far with a well-defined transition from positive lags to negative lags provides a unique opportunity to put new constraints on LIV. Using multi-photon energy bands we consider the contributions to the observed spectral lag from both the intrinsic time lag and the lag by LIV effects, and assuming the intrinsic time lag to have a positive dependence on the photon energy, we obtain robust limits on LIV by directly fitting the spectral lag data of GRB 160625B. Here we show that these robust limits on the quantum gravity energy scales are E-QG,E-1 >= 0.5 x 10(16) GeV for the linear, and E-QG,E-2 >= 1.4 x 10(7) GeV for the quadratic LIV effects, respectively. In addition, we give, for the first time, a reasonable formulation of the intrinsic energy-dependent time lag. 第 169 条,共 286 条 The Observer's Guide to the Gamma-Ray Burst Supernova Connection Cano, Z (Cano, Zach); Wang, SQ (Wang, Shan-Qin); Dai, ZG (Dai, Zi-Gao); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) ADVANCES IN ASTRONOMY 文献号: 8929054 We present a detailed report of the connection between long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places emphasis on how observations, and the modelling of observations, have constrained what we know about GRB-SNe. We discuss their photometric and spectroscopic properties, their role as cosmological probes, including their measured luminosity-decline relationships, and how they can be used to measure the Hubble constant. Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 We present a statistical summary of their bolometric properties and use this to determine the properties of the "average" GRB-SN. We discuss their geometry and consider the various physical processes that are thought to power the luminosity of GRB-SNe and whether differences exist between GRB-SNe and the SNe associated with ultra-long-duration GRBs. We discuss how observations of their environments further constrain the physical properties of their progenitor stars and give a brief overview of the current theoretical paradigms of their central engines. We then present an overview of the radioactively powered transients that have been photometrically associated with short-duration GRBs, and we conclude by discussing what additional research is needed to further our understanding of GRB-SNe, in particular the role of binary-formation channels and the connection of GRB-SNe with superluminous SNe. central engine parameters for both the prompt emission and afterglow phases. We consider two jet-launching mechanisms, i.e., nu(nu) over bar annihilations and the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process, and obtain analytical solutions to these two models. We then investigate the BH central engine parameters, such as the jet power, the dimensionless entropy eta, and the central engine parameter mu(0) = eta (1 + sigma(0)) (where sigma(0) is the initial magnetization of the engine) at the base of the jet. The BH may be spun up by accretion or spun down by the BZ process, leaving imprints in the GRB light curves. Usually, a BZ jet is more powerful and is likely responsible for the late-time central engine activities. However, an initially non-spinning BH central engine may first launch a thermal "fireball" via neutrino annihilations, and then launch a Poynting-flux-dominated jet via the BZ process. Multiple flares, giant bumps, and plateaus in GRB afterglows can be produced as the result of late-time accretion onto the BH. 第 170 条,共 286 条 Strongly lensed gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals as powerful cosmic rulers Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 472 期: 3 页: 2906-2912 In this paper, we discuss the possibility of using strongly lensed gravitational waves (GWs) and their electromagnetic (EM) counterparts as powerful cosmic rulers. In the EM domain, it has been suggested that joint observations of the time delay (Delta tau) between lensed quasar images and the velocity dispersion (sigma) of the lensing galaxy (i.e. the combination Delta tau/sigma(2)) are able to constrain the cosmological parameters more strongly than Delta tau or sigma(2) separately. Here, for the first time, we propose that this Delta tau/sigma(2) method can be applied to the strongly lensed systems observed in both GW and EM windows. Combining the redshifts, images and sigma observed in the EM domain with the very precise Delta tau derived from lensed GW signals, we expect that accurate multimessenger cosmology can be achieved in the era of third-generation GW detectors. Comparing with the constraints from the Delta tau method, we prove that using Delta tau/sigma(2) can improve the discrimination between cosmological models. Furthermore, we demonstrate that with similar to 50 strongly lensed GW-EM systems, we can reach a constraint on the dark energy equation of state w comparable to the 580 Union2.1 Type Ia supernovae data. Much more stringent constraints on w can be obtained when combining the Delta tau and Delta tau/sigma(2) methods. 第 171 条,共 286 条 Hyperaccreting Black Hole as Gamma-Ray Burst Central Engine. II.

On the one hand, using a nonparametric smoothing method Gaussian process, we reconstruct a function H(z) from opacity-free expansion rate measurements. Then, we integrate the H(z) to obtain distance modulus mu(H), which is dependent on the cosmic curvature. On the other hand, distances of SNe Ia can be determined by their photometric observations and thus are opacity-dependent. In our analysis, by confronting distance moduli mu(H) with those obtained from SNe Ia, we achieve estimations for both the spatial curvature and the cosmic opacity without any assumptions for the cosmological model. Here, it should be noted that light curve fitting parameters, accounting for the distance estimation of SNe Ia, are determined in a global fit together with the cosmic opacity and spatial curvature to get rid of the dependence of these parameters on cosmology. In addition, we also investigate whether the inclusion of different priors for the present expansion rate (H-0: global estimation, 67.74 +/- 0.46 km s(-1) Mpc(-1), and local measurement, 73.24 +/- 1.74 km s(-1) Mpc(-1)) exert influence on the reconstructed H(z) and the following estimations of the spatial curvature and cosmic opacity. Results show that, in general, a spatially flat and transparent universe is preferred by the observations. Moreover, it is suggested that priors for H-0 matter a lot. Finally, we find that there is a strong degeneracy between the curvature and the opacity. 第 173 条,共 286 条 Lorentz factor - Beaming corrected energy/luminosity correlations and GRB central engine models Yi, SX (Yi, Shuang-Xi); Lei, WH (Lei, Wei-Hua); Zhang, B (Zhang, Bing); Dai, ZG (Dai, Zi-Gao); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Liang, EW (Liang, En-Wei) JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS 87 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 卷: 13-14 页: 1-9 We work on a GRB sample whose initial Lorentz factors (Gamma(0)) are constrained by the afterglow onset method and the jet opening angles (theta j) are determined by the jet break time. We confirm the Gamma(0)-E-gamma,E-iso correlation by Liang etal.(2010), and the Gamma(0)-L-gamma,L-iso correlation by Lu etal.(2012). Furthermore, we find correlations between Gamma(0) and the beaming corrected gamma-ray energy (E-gamma) and mean gamma-ray luminosity (L-gamma). By also including the kinetic energy of the afterglow, we find rough correlations (with larger scatter) between Gamma(0) and the total (gamma- ray plus kinetic) energy and the total mean luminosity, both for isotropic values and beaming corrected values: these correlations allow us to test the data with GRB central engine models. Limiting our sample to the GRBs that likely have a black hole central engine, we compare the data with theoretical predictions of two types of jet launching mechanisms from BHs, i. e. the nonmagnetized v (v) over bar -annihilation mechanism, and the strongly magnetized Blandford- Znajek (BZ) mechanism. We find that the data are more consistent with the latter mechanism, and discuss the implications of our findings for GRB jet composition. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Multi-wavelength follow-up observations were carried out, and X-ray, optical, and radio counterparts to GW170817 were detected. The observations undoubtedly indicate that GRB 170817A originates from a binary neutron star merger. However, the GRB falls into the low-luminosity class that could have a higher statistical occurrence rate and detection probability than the normal (high-luminosity) class. This implies the possibility that GRB 170817A is intrinsically powerful, but we are off-axis and only observe its side emission. In this Letter, we provide a timely modeling of the multi-wavelength afterglow emission from this GRB and the associated kilonova signal from the merger ejecta, under the assumption of a structured jet, a two-component jet, and an intrinsically less-energetic quasi-isotropic fireball, respectively. Comparing the afterglow properties with the multi-wavelength follow-up observations, we can distinguish between these three models. Furthermore, a few model parameters (e.g., the ejecta mass and velocity) can be constrained. 第 175 条,共 286 条 Multimessenger tests of the weak equivalence principle from GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterparts Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Zhang, BB (Zhang, Bin-Bin); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng); Gao, H (Gao, He); Meszaros, P (Meszaros, Peter); Zhang, B (Zhang, Bing); Dai, ZG (Dai, Zi-Gao); Zhang, 88 SN (Zhang, Shuang-Nan); Zhu, ZH (Zhu, Zong-Hong) JOURNAL OF COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS 期: 11 文献号: 035 The coincident detection of a gravitational-wave (GW) event GW170817 with electromagnetic (EM) signals (e.g., a short gamma-ray burst SGRB 170817A or a macronova) from a binary neutron star merger within the nearby galaxy NGC 4933 provides a new, multi-messenger test of the weak equivalence principle (WEP), extending the WEP test with GWs and photons. Assuming that the arrival time delay between the GW signals from GWT70817 and the photons from SGRB 170817A or the macronova is mainly attributed to the gravitational potential of the Milky Way, we demonstrate that the strict upper limits on the deviation from the WEP are delta gamma < 1.4 x 10(-3) for GW170817/macronova and delta gamma < 5.9 x 10(-8) for GW170817/SGRB 170817A. A much more severe constraint on the WEP accuracy can be achieved (similar to 0.9 x 10(-10)) for GW170817/SGRB 170817A when we consider the gravitational potential of the Virgo Cluster, rather than the Milky Way's gravity. This provides the tightest limit to date on the WEP through the relative differential variations of the gamma parameter for two different species of particles. Compared with other multimessenger (photons and neutrinos) results, our limit is 7 orders of magnitude tighter than that placed by the neutrinos and photons from supernova 1987A, and is almost as good as or is an improvement of 6 orders of magnitude over the limits obtained by the low-significance neutrinos correlated with GRBs and a blazar flare. 第 176 条,共 286 条 A Further Test of Lorentz Violation from the Rest-frame Spectral Lags of Gamma-Ray Bursts Wei, JJ (Wei, Jun-Jie); Wu, XF (Wu, Xue-Feng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 851 期: 2 文献号: 127 Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) can manifest itself by an energy-dependent vacuum dispersion of light, which leads to arrival time differences of photons with different energies originating from the same astronomical source. The spectral lags of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been widely used to investigate the possible LIV effect. However, all current investigations used lags extracted in the observer frame only. In this work, we present, for the first time, an analysis of the LIV effect and its redshift dependence in the cosmological rest frame. Using a sample of 56 GRBs with known redshifts, we obtain a robust limit on LIV by fitting their rest-frame spectral lag data using both a maximization of the likelihood function and a minimum chi(2) statistic. Our analysis indicates that there is no evidence of LIV. Additionally, we test the LIV in different redshift ranges by dividing the full sample into four redshift bins. We also find no evidence for the redshift variation of the LIV effect.

Su, Y (Su, Yang); Zhou, X (Zhou, Xin); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Chen, Y (Chen, Yang); Chen, XP (Chen, Xuepeng); Gong, Y (Gong, Yan); Zhang, SB (Zhang, Shaobo) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 845 期: 1 文献号: 48 HESS J1912+101 is a shell-like TeV source that has no clear counterpart in multiwavelength. Using CO and H I data, we reveal that V-LSR similar to + 60 km s(-1) molecular clouds (MCs), together with shocked molecular gas and high-velocity neutral atomic shells, are concentrated toward HESS J1912+101. The prominent wing profiles up to V-LSR similar to + 80 km s(-1) seen in (CO)-C-12 (J = 1-0 and J = 3-2) data, as well as the high-velocity expanding H I shells up to V-LSR similar to + 100 km s(-1), exhibit striking redshifted-broadening relative to the quiescent gas. These features provide compelling evidences for large-scale perturbation in the region. We argue that the shocked MCs and the high-velocity H I shells may originate from an old supernova remnant (SNR). The distance to the SNR is estimated to be similar to 4.1. kpc based on the H I self-absorption method, which leads to a physical radius of 29.0 pc for the similar to(0.7-2.0) x 10(5). years old remnant with an expansion velocity of >= 40 km s(-1). The +60 km s(-1) MCs and the disturbed gas are indeed found to coincide with the bright TeV emission, supporting the physical association between them. Naturally, the shell-like TeV emission comes from the decay of neutral pions produced by interactions between the accelerated hadrons from the SNR and the surrounding high-density molecular gas. 第 178 条,共 286 条 Multifrequency VLBA polarimetry of the high-redshift GPS quasar OQ172 Liu, Y (Liu, Yi); Jiang, DR (Jiang, D. R.); Gu, MF (Gu, Minfeng); Gurvits, LI (Gurvits, L. I.) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 468 期: 3 页: 2699-2712 Multifrequency Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) polarimetry observation of the GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) quasar OQ172 (J1445+ 0958) has been performed at 1.6, 2.2, 4.8, 8.3 and 15.3 GHz in 2005. Core-jet structures are detected in all bands with the jet strongly bent at about 3 mas from the core. The radio emission of the source is polarized at all five bands. We study the Faraday rotation in the core and jet components at all five bands, and find good linear fits of Faraday rotation in the core and jet components at 4.8 and 8.3 GHz. At these two frequencies, the rotation measure (RM) is similar to 2000 rad m(-2) in the core and similar to 700 rad m(-2) in the inner jet components and continues to decrease at the outer jet parts. We find that the depolarization at 4.8 and 8.3 GHz might be caused by the internal medium in the source. We investigate consistency of the turnover spectra of VLBI components with the synchrotron self-absorption and free-free absorption models. Although these two models cannot be easily distinguished due to the lack of low-frequency data, the physical parameters can be constrained for each model. We find that the large width of the [O III](5007) line is likely caused by a jet interaction with a narrow line region (NLR) medium. The jet bending, significant RM variations, Faraday depolarization, spectral turnover and broad line width of [O III](5007) could be closely related, likely caused by the same nucleus medium, presumably NLR. 第 179 条,共 286 条 Molecular Clouds in the Extreme Outer Galaxy between l.=34 degrees.75 to 45 degrees.25 Sun, Y (Sun, Yan); Su, Y (Su, Yang); Zhang, SB (Zhang, Shao-Bo); Xu, Y (Xu, Ye); Chen, XP (Chen, Xue-Peng); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Jiang, ZB (Jiang, Zhi-Bo); Fang, M (Fang, Min) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT SERIES 卷: 230 期: 2 文献号: 17 We present the results of an unbiased CO survey in the Galactic range of 34 degrees 75..l..45 degrees 25 and -5 degrees.25 <= b <= 5 degrees 25, and the velocity range beyond the Outer armA total of 168 molecular clouds (MCs) are identified within the Extreme Outer Galaxy(EOG) region, and 31 of these MCs are associated with 13CO. emissionHowever, none of them show significant (CO)-O-18 emission under the current detection limitThe typical size and mass of these MCs are 5pc and 3x10(3)M(circle dot), implying a lack of large and massive MCs in the EOG regionSimilar to MCs in the outer Galaxy, the velocity dispersions of EOG clouds are also correlated with their sizes; however, they are well displaced below the scaling relationship defined by the inner Galaxy MCsThese MCs with a median Galactocentric radius of 12.6 kpc show very different distributions from those of the MCs in the Outer arm published in our previous paper, while roughly following the Outer Scutum-Centaurus arm defined by Dame & ThaddeusThis result may provide robust evidence for the existence of the Outer Scutum-Centaurus armThe lower limit of the total mass of this segment is about 2.7x105Me, which is about one magnitude lower than that of the Outer armThe mean thickness of the gaseous disk is about 1 degrees 45 or 450pc, and the scale height is about 1 degrees 27, or 400pc above the b=0 degrees planeThe warp traced by CO emission is very obvious in the EOG region and its amplitude is consistent with the predictions by other warp models using different tracers, such as dust, H I, and stellar components of our Galaxy. 第 180 条,共 286 条 Kinematics of a Young Low-mass Star-forming Core: Understanding the Evolutionary State of the First-core Candidate L1451-mm Maureira, MJ (Maureira, Maira Jose); Arce, HG (Arce, Hector G.); Dunham, MM (Dunham, Michael M.); Pineda, JE (Pineda, Jaime E.); Fernandez-Lopez, M (Fernandez-Lopez, Manuel); Chen, XP (Chen, Xuepeng); Mardones, D (Mardones, Diego) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 1 文献号: 60 We use 3 mm multiline and continuum CARMA observations toward the first hydrostatic core (FHSC) candidate L1451-mm to characterize the envelope kinematics at 1000 au scales and investigate its evolutionary state. We detect evidence of infall and rotation in the NH2D(11,110,1), N2H+(10), and HCN(10) molecular lines. We compare the 89 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS positionvelocity diagram of the NH2D(11,110,1) line with a simple kinematic model and find that it is consistent with an envelope that is both infalling and rotating while conserving angular momentum around a central mass of about 0.06 M-circle dot. The N2H+(10) LTE mass of the envelope along with the inferred infall velocity leads to a mass infall rate of approximately 6 x 10(-6) M-circle dot yr(-1), implying a young age of 10(4) years for this FHSC candidate. Assuming that the accretion onto the central object is the same as the infall rate, we obtain a minimum source size of 1.55 au, consistent with the size expected for a first core. We do not see any evidence of outflow motions or signs of outflowenvelope interaction at scales greater than or similar to 2000 au. This is consistent with previous observations that revealed a very compact outflow (less than or similar to 500 au). We conclude that L1451-mm is indeed at a very early stage of evolution, either a first core or an extremely young Class 0 protostar. Our results provide strong evidence that L1451-mm is the best candidate for being a bona fide first core. 第 181 条,共 286 条 Molecular Environments of Three.

Both SNRs G205.5+0.5 and G213.0-0.6 exhibit the morphological agreement (or spatial correspondences) between the remnant and the surrounding molecular clouds (MCs), as well as kinematic signatures of shock perturbation in the molecular gas. We confirm that the two SNRs are physically associated with their ambient MCs and the shock of SNRs is interacting with the dense, clumpy molecular gas. SNR G206.9+2.3, which is close to the northeastern edge of the Monoceros Nebula, displays the spatial coincidence with molecular partial shell structures at V-LSR similar to 15 km s(-1). While no significant line broadening has been detected within or near the remnant, the strong morphological correspondence between the SNR and the molecular cavity implies that SNR G206.9+2.3 is probably associated with the CO gas and is evolving in the low-density environment. The physical features of individual SNRs, together with the relationship between SNRs and their nearby objects, are also discussed. 第 182 条,共 286 条 A Turbulent Origin for the Complex Envelope Kinematics in the Young Low-mass Core Per-bolo 58 Maureira, MJ (Maureira, Maria Jose); Arce, HG (Arce, Hector G.); Offner, SSR (Offner, Stella S.

The two velocity components, each with a mass of similar to 0.5-0.6 M circle dot, overlap spatially at the position of the continuum emission and produce a general gradient along the outflow direction. We investigate whether these observations are consistent with infall in a turbulent and magnetized envelope. We compare the morphology and spectra of the N2H+ (1-0) with synthetic observations of an MHD simulation that considers the collapse of an isolated core that is initially perturbed with a turbulent field. The proposed model matches the data in the production of two velocity components, traced by the isolated hyperfine line of the N2H+ (1-0) spectra, and shows a general agreement in morphology and velocity field.

Their effective response time, however, is in the order of microseconds due to relatively high transition temperature (i.e., 300-400 mK) of the Ti microbridge, making it difficult to read out the signal of a large Ti TES array with a SQUID-based multiplexer. We propose a twin-slot antenna coupled superconducting Ti microbridge separated from the antenna feed and supported by a free-standing membrane. Its resistive transition (R-T) and current-voltage (I-V) curves are measured before and after KOH wet etching of the Si substrate underneath the Ti microbridge. The free-standing membrane supported Ti TES with a thickness of 40 nm shows slightly lower transition temperature and higher normal resistance. Its thermal conductance is reduced to similar to 800 pW/ K from similar to 3000 pW/ K. In addition, its effective response time measured with a current pulse signal is about 5 mu s. The uniformity of the 8 x 8 TES array is studied by measuring the distribution of normal resistance and critical temperature. In order to improve the uniformity, we increase the Ti film thickness to 64 nm, and characterize its thermal and electrical features. 第 185 条,共 286 条 Optoelectronic Control of an External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser Using a Graphene Loaded Metamaterial Array Kindness, SJ (Kindness, S.

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS 卷: 7 文献号: 7657 Active control of the amplitude and frequency of terahertz sources is an essential prerequisite for exploiting a myriad of terahertz applications in imaging, spectroscopy, and communications. Here we present a optoelectronic, external modulation technique applied to a terahertz quantum cascade laser which holds the promise of addressing a number of important challenges in this research area. A hybrid metamaterial/graphene device is implemented into an external cavity set-up allowing for optoelectronic tuning of feedback into a quantum cascade laser. We demonstrate powerful, all-electronic, control over the amplitude and frequency of the laser output. Full laser switching is performed by electrostatic gating of the metamaterial/graphene device, demonstrating a modulation depth of 100%. External control of the emission spectrum is also achieved, highlighting the flexibility of this feedback method. By taking advantage of the frequency dispersive reflectivity of the metamaterial array, different modes of the QCL output are selectively suppressed using lithographic tuning and single mode operation of the multi-mode laser is enforced. Side mode suppression is electrically modulated from similar to 6 dB to similar to 21 dB, demonstrating active, optoelectronic modulation of the laser frequency content between multi-mode and single mode operation. 第 190 条,共 286 条 Analysis of 220-GHz Low-Loss Quasi-Elliptic Waveguide Bandpass Filter Ding, JQ (Ding, Jiang-Qiao); Shi, SC (Shi, Sheng-Cai); Zhou, K (Zhou, Kang); Liu, D (Liu, Dong); Wu, W (Wu, Wen) IEEE MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS COMPONENTS LETTERS 卷: 27 期: 7 页: 648-650 A 220-GHz low-loss and wideband waveguide bandpass filter with fourth-order quasi-elliptic response is presented and analyzed in this letter. An electric cross-coupling realized by easily manufactured capacitive iris is introduced in the classical folded quadruplet topology. The prototype fabricated by conventional computer numerical control 92 (CNC)-metal-milling technology exhibits meaningful results of an insertion loss of around 0.6 dB and a 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 9.8% centered at 214.3 GHz, which are in excellent agreement with the simulated ones. The effects of tolerance and surface roughness on the filter performance are discussed in detail. All the results indicate that the present CNC process can meet the accuracy and roughness requirement of such waveguide filter in WR-4 band. 第 191 条,共 286 条 WR-3 Band Quasi-Elliptical Waveguide Filters Using Higher Order Mode Resonances Ding, JQ (Ding, Jiang-Qiao); Shi, SC (Shi, Sheng-Cai); Zhou, K (Zhou, Kang); Zhao, Y (Zhao, Yun); Liu, D (Liu, Dong); Wu, W (Wu, Wen) IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TERAHERTZ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 卷: 7 期: 3 页: 302-309 Two types of WR-3 band quasi-elliptical waveguide bandpass filters (BPFs) using higher order mode resonators are presented based on physical cross coupling and modal bypass coupling, respectively. Under the situation of physical folded structure, a TE102-mode in an oversized waveguide resonator is utilized to reverse the magnetic field direction of main path to implement a negative cross coupling (Filter-I). Limited to the structure of Filter-I itself, the simulated 3 dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 8.5% is slightly narrower than desired 10% FBW. For the other case, two TE101/TE201 overmode resonant cavities with suitable input and output coupling locations are employed to generate two transmission zeros in the vicinity of the passband through modal bypass couplings (Filter-II). The benefit from the realization of the wide-band source and load couplings in the fringe first and fourth oversized cavities is that the FBW of 10% is achieved in the Filter-II. The two BPFs fabricated by computer numerical control milling technology exhibit an insertion loss (IL) of about 0.7 dB and a 3 dB FBW of 8.77% centered at 257.7 GHz (Filter-I), IL of around 0.5 dB, and FBW of 9.83% with center frequency of 256.3 GHz (Filter-II), which are all in good agreement with the simulations. The performance of the two BPFs based on one or two oversized waveguide resonators is highlighted comparing with the reported similar terahertz waveguide filters. 第 192 条,共 286 条 A 240-GHz Wideband Ridged Waveguide Filter Based on MEMS Process Ding, JQ (Ding, Jiangqiao); Hu, J (Hu, Jie); Liu, D (Liu, Dong); Wang, DW (Wang, Daowei); Shi, SC (Shi, Shengcai); Wu, W (Wu, Wen) JOURNAL OF INFRARED MILLIMETER AND TERAHERTZ WAVES 卷: 38 期: 3 页: 283-291 Terahertz (THz) bandpass filter (BPF) is one of important components in some detectors for astronomical observations. In this paper, a BPF with a relative bandwidth of 50% centered at 240 GHz is presented. This wideband BPF is made up of six ridged waveguide resonators and developed by silicon-based micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) process. The transmission response of the filter is measured by a quasi-optical setup incorporating a sensitive superconducting mixer, and the result is in good agreement with the simulated one. Details of the design, simulation, and measurement are discussed in this paper.

So the terahertz astronomy research has extremely important scientific significance. In this paper,we introduce the development of the terahertz coherent detectors bosed on ultra high sensitivity superconducting terahertz detection technology,including superconducting tunnel junction the mixer(SIS) and superconducting hot electron mixer (HEB),and non coherent detectors such as superconducting dynamic inductance detector(MKIDs) and superconducting transition edge detector(TES). The future development trend is also prospected. The review for superconducting THz detectors has the reference significance for the development of astronomical terahertz detection technique in our country. High Efficiency and Wideband 300 GHz Frequency Doubler Based on Six Schottky Diodes Ding, JQ (Ding, Jiangqiao); Maestrini, A (Maestrini, Alain); Gatilova, L (Gatilova, Lina); Cavanna, A (Cavanna, Antonella); Shi, SC (Shi, Shengcai); Wu, W (Wu, Wen) JOURNAL OF INFRARED MILLIMETER AND TERAHERTZ WAVES 卷: 38 期: 11 页: 1331-1341 A high efficiency and wideband 300 GHz frequency doubler based on six Schottky diodes is presented in this paper. This balanced doubler features a compact and robust circuit on a 5-mu m-thick, 0.36-mm-wide, and 1-mm-long GaAs membrane, fabricated by LERMA-C2N Schottky process. The conversion efficiency is mainly better than 16% across the wide bandwidth of 266-336 GHz (3 dB fractional bandwidth of 24%) when pumping with 20-60 mW input power (P (in)) at the room temperature. A peak output power of 14.75 mW at 332 GHz with a 61.18 mW P (in), an excellent peak efficiency of 30.5% at 314 GHz with 43.86 mW P (in) and several frequency points with outstanding efficiency of higher than 25% are delivered. This doubler served as the second stage of the 600 GHz frequency multiplier chain is designed, fabricated, and measured. The performance of this 300 GHz doubler is highlighted comparing to the state-of-art terahertz frequency doublers. 第 194 条,共 286 条 Terahertz and far-infrared windows opened at Dome A in Antarctica 第 196 条,共 286 条 Shi, SC (Shi, Sheng-Cai); Paine, S (Paine, Scott); Yao, QJ (Yao, Qi-Jun); Lin, ZH (Lin, Zhen-Hui); Li, XX (Li, Xin-Xing); Duan, WY (Duan, Wen-Ying); Matsuo, H (Matsuo, Hiroshi); Zhang, QZ (Zhang, Qizhou); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Ashley, MCB (Ashley, M. C. B.); Shang, ZH (Shang, Zhaohui); Hu, ZW (Hu, Zhong-Wen) NATURE ASTRONOMY 卷: 1 期: 1 文献号: 0001 The terahertz and far-infrared band, ranging from approximately 0.3 THz to 15 THz (1 mm to 20 mu m), is important for astrophysics as it hosts the peak of the thermal radiation of the cold component of the Universe as well as many spectral lines that trace the cycle of interstellar matter1-8. However, water vapour makes the terrestrial atmosphere opaque to this frequency band over nearly all of the Earth's surface9. Early radiometric measurements10 below 1 THz at Dome A (80 degrees 22'S, 77 degrees 21' E), the highest point of the cold and dry Antarctic ice sheet, suggest that this site may offer the best possible access for ground-based astronomical observations in the terahertz and far-infrared band. To fully assess the site conditions and to address the uncertainties in radiative transfer modelling of the atmosphere, we carried out measurements of atmospheric radiation from Dome A with a Fourier transform spectrometer, spanning the entire water vapour pure rotation band from 20 mu m to 350 mu m. Our measurements reveal substantial transmission in atmospheric windows throughout the whole band. By combining our broad-band spectra with data on the atmospheric state over Dome A, we set new constraints on the spectral absorption of water vapour at upper tropospheric temperatures, which is important for accurate modelling of the terrestrial climate. We find that current spectral models significantly underestimate the H2O continuum absorption. 超高灵敏度太赫兹超导探测技术发展 第 195 条,共 286 条 李婧 , 张文 , 缪巍 , 史生才 中国光学, 2017 , 10 (1) :122-130 太赫兹波段占有宇宙微波背景(CMB)辐射以后宇宙空间近 一半的光子能量,该波段在天文学研究中具有不可替代的 作用,因此太赫兹天文学的研究,具有极其重要的科学意义。 本文系统介绍了基于超高灵敏度太赫兹超导探测技术的 太赫兹相干探测器发展状况,包括超导隧道结混频器(SIS) 和超导热电子混频器(HEB),以及以超导动态电感探测器 (MKIDs)和超导相变边缘探测器(TES)为代表的非相干探测 器的研究。在此基础上,展望了该领域未来发展趋势,对我 国太赫兹天文探测技术的发展具有一定的参考意义。 2-10 Telescope Technology Laboratory 第 197 条,共 286 条 Failure analysis of a frangible composite cover: A transient-dynamics study Cai, DA (Cai, Deng'an); Zhou, GM (Zhou, Guangming); Qian, Y (Qian, Yuan); Silberschmidt, VV (Silberschmidt, Vadim V.) JOURNAL OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS 卷: 51 期: 18 页: 2607-2617 A transient-dynamics model based on the approximate Riemann algorithm is proposed for the failure analysis of a frangible composite canister cover. The frangible cover, 93 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS manufactured with a traditional manual lay-up method, is designed to conduct a simulated missile launch test using a specially developed test device. Deformation of the cover's centre is determined using a transient-dynamics finite element model; failure pressure for the frangible cover is obtained based on a failure criterion and compared with simulated experimental results. Weak-zone position of the frangible cover has a significant effect on failure pressure compared to that of deformation of the cover's centre. With the same structure of the weak-zone, an increase in its height can first raise and then reduce the level of failure pressure of the frangible cover. Close agreements between the experimental and numerical results are observed. 第 198 条,共 286 条 Two Methods to Broaden the Bandwidth of a Nonlinear Piezoelectric Bimorph Power Harvester Hu, HP (Hu, Hongping); Dai, LX (Dai, Longxiang); Chen, H (Chen, Hao); Jiang, S (Jiang, Shan); Wang, HR (Wang, Hairen); Laude, V (Laude, Vincent) JOURNAL OF VIBRATION AND ACOUSTICS-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME 卷: 139 期: 3 文献号: 031008 We propose two methods to broaden the operation bandwidth of a nonlinear pinned-pinned piezoelectric bimorph power harvester. The energy-scavenging structure consists of a properly poled and electroded flexible bimorph with a metallic layer in the middle, and is subjected to flexural vibration. Nonlinear effects at large deformations near resonance are considered by taking the in-plane extension of the bimorph into account. The resulting output powers are multivalued and exhibit jump phenomena. Two methods to broaden the operation bandwidth are proposed: The first method is to extend the operation frequency to the left single-valued region through optimal design. The second method is to excite optimal initial conditions with a voltage source. Larger output powers in the multivalued region of the nonlinear harvester are obtained. Hence, the operation bandwidth is broadened from the left single-valued region to the whole multivalued region. 第 199 条,共 286 条 Research on a bimorph piezoelectric deformable mirror for adaptive optics in optical telescope Wang, HR (Wang, Hairen) OPTICS EXPRESS 卷: 25 期: 7 页: 8115-8122 We have proposed a discrete-layout bimorph piezoelectric deformable mirror (DBPDM) and developed its realistic electromechanical model. Compared with the conventional piezoelectric deformable mirror (CPDM) and the bimorph piezoelectric deformable mirror (BPDM), the DBPDM has both a larger stroke and a higher resonance frequency by integrating the strengths of the CPDM and the BPDM. To verify the advancement, a 21-elements DBPDM is studied in this paper. The results have suggested that the stroke of the DBPDM is larger than 10 microns and its resonance frequency is 53.3 kHz. Furthermore, numerical simulation is conducted on the deformation of the mirror using the realistic electromechanical model, and the dependence of the influence function upon the size of the radius of push pad is analyzed. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America 第 200 条,共 286 条 94 Linear and nonlinear analysis of the thermal effects of beam piezoelectric bending actuator on adaptive optics Wang, HR (Wang, Hairen); Hu, L (Hu, Lin) JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT MATERIAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES 卷: 28 期: 20 页: 3016-3024 The beam piezoelectric bending actuator, of a simple structure and at a low cost, can be a good match for the large adaptive optics telescopes, for it has a large stroke and a high resonance frequency. In this article, the thermal effects of a beam piezoelectric bending actuator are analyzed in the aspects of the statics, dynamics, and nonlinear dynamics. The results of the linear statics and dynamics have shown that the thermal effects will produce the zero offsets to the static strokes of the beam piezoelectric bending actuator and have little influence on the resonant frequency. Besides, finite element analysis methods are applied to validate the analytic methods. The conclusions have shown that the analytic results and the finite element analysis results are reasonably consistent with each other. Furthermore, the nonlinear behaviors of the beam piezoelectric bending actuator in dynamics are studied, and through the changeable curves of the frequency, it can be observed that the results of the strokes imposed on the actuator have exhibited multiple values and jumps near the resonance. 第 201 条,共 286 条 A combined analysis of PandaX, LUX, and XENON1T experiments within the framework of dark matter effective theory Liu, ZW (Liu, Zuowei); Su, YS (Su, Yushan); Tsai, YLS (Tsai, Yue-Lin Sming); Yu, BR (Yu, Bingrong); JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS 期: 11 文献号: 024 Weakly interacting massive particles are a widely well-probed dark matter candidate by the dark matter direct detection experiments. Theoretically, there are a large number of ultraviolet completed models that consist of a weakly interacting massive particle dark matter. The variety of models makes the comparison with the direct detection data complicated and often non-trivial. To overcome this, in the non-relativistic limit, the effective theory was developed in the literature which works very well to significantly reduce the complexity of dark matter-nucleon interactions and to better study the nuclear response functions. In the effective theory framework for a spin-1/2 dark matter, we combine three independent likelihood functions from the latest PandaX, LUX, and XENON1T data, and give a joint limit on each effective coupling. The astrophysical uncertainties of the dark matter distribution are also included in the likelihood. We further discuss the isospin violating cases of the interactions. Finally, for both dimension-five and dimension-six effective theories above the electroweak scale, we give updated limits of the new physics mass scales. 2-11 Delingha millimeter Observation Station wave Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 No ring-like structure in the GC is evident in our data, likely due to the low-spatial resolution of the CO and OH maps. 第 202 条,共 286 条 Two-dimensional Molecular Gas and Formation around H II Region Sh2-104 Ongoing Star Xu, JL (Xu, Jin-Long); Xu, Y (Xu, Ye); Yu, NP (Yu, Naiping); Zhang, CP (Zhang, Chuan-peng); Liu, XL (Liu, Xiao-Lan); Wang, JJ (Wang, Jun-Jie); Ning, CC (Ning, Chang-chun); Ju, BG (Ju, Bing-Gang); Zhang, GY (Zhang, Guo-Yin) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 849 期: 2 文献号: 140 We performed a multi-wavelength study toward H II region Sh2-104. New maps of (CO)-C-12 J = 1 - 0 and (CO)-C-13 J = 1 - 0 were obtained from the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7 m radio telescope. Sh2-104 displays a double-ring structure. The outer ring with a radius of 4.4 pc is dominated by 12, 500 mu m, (CO)-C-12 J = 1 - 0, and (CO)-C-13 J = 1 - 0 emission, while the inner ring with a radius of 2.9 pc is dominated by 22 mu m and 21 cm emission. We did not detect CO emission inside the outer ring. The north-east portion of the outer ring is blueshifted, while the south-west portion is redshifted. The present observations have provided evidence that the collected outer ring around Sh2-104 is a two-dimensional structure. From the column density map constructed by the Hi-GAL survey data, we extract 21 clumps. About 90% of all the clumps will form low-mass stars. A power-law fit to the clumps yields M = 281 M-circle dot(r/pc)(1.31 +/- 0.8). The selected YSOs are associated with the collected material on the edge of Sh2-104. The derived dynamical age of Sh2-104 is 1.6 x 10(6) yr. Comparing the Sh2-104 dynamical age with the YSO timescale and the fragmentation time of the molecular ring, we further confirm that the collect-and-collapse process operates in this region, indicating positive feedback from a massive star for surrounding gas. 第 203 条,共 286 条 Towards a three-dimensional distribution of the molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre Yan, QZ (Yan, Qing-Zeng); Walsh, AJ (Walsh, A.

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 471 期: 3 页: 2523-2536 We present a study of the three-dimensional structure of the molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre (GC) using CO emission and OH absorption lines. Two CO isotopologue lines, (CO)-C-12(J = 1 -> 0) and (CO)-C-13(J = 1 -> 0), and four OH ground-state transitions, surveyed by the Southern Parkes Large-Area Survey in Hydroxyl, contribute to this study. We develop a novel method to calculate the OH column density, excitation temperature and optical depth precisely using all four OH lines, and we employ it to derive a three-dimensional model for the distribution of molecular clouds in the GC for six slices in Galactic latitude. The angular resolution of the data is 15.5 arcmin, which at the distance of the GC (8.34 kpc) is equivalent to 38 pc. We find that the total mass of OH in the GC is in the range of 2400-5100 M-circle dot. The face-on view at a Galactic latitude of b = 0 degrees. displays a bar-like structure with an inclination angle of 67.5 +/- 2.1 degrees with respect to the line of sight. 第 204 条,共 286 条 Large-field CO(1-0) observations toward the Galactic historical supernova remnants: a large cavity around Tycho's supernova remnant Chen, X (Chen, X.); Xiong, F (Xiong, F.); Yang, J (Yang, J.) ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 604 文献号: A13 Context. The investigation of the interaction between the supernova remnants (SNRs) and interstellar gas is not only necessary to improve our knowledge of SNRs, but also to understand the nature of the progenitor systems. Aims. As a part of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting CO line survey, the aim is to study the interstellar gas surrounding the Galactic historical SNRs. In this work, we present the CO results of Tycho's SNR. Methods. Using the 3 x 3 Superconducting Spectroscopic Array Receiver (SSAR) at the PMO 13.7-m telescope, we performed large-field (3 degrees x 2 degrees) and high-sensitivity CO(1-0) molecular line observations toward Tycho's SNR. Results. The CO observations reveal large molecular clouds, stream-like structures, and an inner rim around the remnant. We derived the basic properties (column density, mass, and kinematics) of these objects based on the CO observations. The large molecular clouds individually show an arc toward the remnant center, outlining a large cavity with radii of similar to 0.3 degrees x 0.6 degrees (or 13 pc x 27 pc at a distance of 2.5 kpc) around the remnant. The CO line broadenings and asymmetries detected in the surrounding clouds, the observed expansion of the cavity, in concert with enhanced (CO)-C-12(2-1)/(1-0) intensity ratio detected in previous studies, suggest the interaction of the large cavity with a wind in the region. After excluding the scenario of a large bubble produced by bright massive stars, we suggest that the large cavity could be explained by accretion wind from the progenitor system of Tycho's supernova. Nevertheless, the possibility of the random distribution of a large cavity around Tycho's SNR cannot be ruled out thus far. Further observations are needed to confirm the physical association of the large cavity with Tycho's SNR. 第 205 条,共 286 条 A 95 GHz methanol emission survey toward eight small supernova remnants Li, YJ (Li, Ying-Jie); Xu, Y (Xu, Ye); Chen, X (Chen, Xi); Lu, DR (Lu, Deng-Rong); Sun, Y (Sun, Yan); Du, XY (Du, Xin-Yu); Shen, ZQ (Shen, Zhi-Qiang) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 12 文献号: 125 We report on a 95GHz (8(0)-7(1) A(+)) methanol (CH3OH) emission survey with the Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha 13.7 m telescope. Eight supernova remnants (SNRs) with angular size less than or similar to 10' were observed, but emission was only detected in three SNRs near the Galactic center (Sgr A East, G 0.1-0.1 and G 359.92-0.09). CH3OH emission mainly surrounds the SNRs and can be decomposed into nine spatial peaks with the velocity range of eight peaks being (-30, 70) km s(-1), and the other is (70, 120) km s(-1). They are probably excited by interaction with these SNRs and adjacent molecular gas in the central molecular zone (CMZ), although star formation may play an 95 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS important role in exciting CH3OH emission in some regions of CMZ. We infer that tidal action is unlikely to be an excitation source for CH3OH emission. 第 207 条,共 286 条 (Long, Wenshan) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 838 期: 1 文献号: 49 We present large-field (4.25 x 3.75 deg(2)) mapping observations toward the Galactic region centered at l = 150 degrees, b = 3 degrees.5 in the J = 1-0 emission line of CO isotopologues ((CO)-C-12, (CO)-C-13, and (CO)-O-18), using the 13.7 m millimeter-wavelength telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory. Based on the (CO)-C-13 observations, we reveal a filamentary cloud in the Local Arm at a velocity range of -0.5 to 6.5 km s(-1). This molecular cloud contains 1 main filament and 11 sub-filaments, showing the so-called "ridge-nest" structure. The main filament and three sub-filaments are also detected in the (CO)-O-18 line. The velocity structures of most identified filaments display continuous distribution with slight velocity gradients. The measured median excitation temperature, line width, length, width, and linear mass of the filaments are similar to 9.28 K, 0.85 km s(-1), 7.30 pc, 0.79 pc, and 17.92 M-circle dot pc(-1), respectively, assuming a distance of 400 pc. We find that the four filaments detected in the (CO)-O-18 line are thermally supercritical, and two of them are in the virialized state, and. thus tend to be gravitationally bound. We identify in total 146 (CO)-C-13 clumps in the cloud, about 77% of the clumps are distributed along the filaments. About 56% of the virialized clumps are found to be associated with the supercritical filaments. Three young stellar object candidates are also identified in the supercritical filaments, based on the complementary infrared data. These results indicate that the supercritical filaments, especially the virialized filaments, may contain star-forming activities.

We have compared the line width of the methanol and HCO+ thermal emission in all of the methanol detections, and on that basis, we find that 205 of the 213 detections are very likely to be masers. This corresponds to an overall detection rate of 95 GHz methanol masers toward our BGPS sample of 20%. Of the 205 detected masers, 144 (70%) are new discoveries.

ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL 卷: 154 期: 2 文献号: 63 The BeSSeL Survey is mapping the spiral structure of the Milky Way by measuring trigonometric parallaxes of hundreds of maser sources associated with high-mass star formation. While parallax techniques for water masers at high frequency (22 GHz) have been well documented, recent observations of methanol masers at lower frequency (6.7 GHz) have revealed astrometric issues associated with signal propagation through the ionosphere that could significantly limit parallax accuracy. These problems displayed as a "parallax gradient" on the sky when measured against different background quasars. We present an analysis method in which we generate position data relative to an "artificial quasar" at the target maser position at each epoch. Fitting parallax to these data can significantly mitigate the problems and improve parallax accuracy. 第 208 条,共 286 条 CO(J=1-0) Observations of a Filamentary Molecular Cloud in the Galactic Region Centered at l=150 degrees, b=3 degrees.5 Xiong, F (Xiong, Fang); Chen, XP (Chen, Xuepeng); Yang, J (Yang, Ji); Fang, M (Fang, Min); Zhang, SB (Zhang, Shaobo); Zhang, MM (Zhang, Miaomiao); Du, XY (Du, Xinyu); Long, WS 96 Molecular Lines of CO Isotopes of the High Galactic Latitude Cloud HSVMT 27 He Zhihong; Xu Ye; Yang Ji; Du Xinyu; Li Facheng; Lu Dengrong; Yan Qingzeng Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 1 页 : 6-1-6-13 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:1<6:GYWQYH>2.0.TX;2-9 A study on ~(12)CO,~(13)CO, and C~(18)O] of the high galactic latitude cloud HSVMT 27, located in Ursa Major, was conducted. A relatively low ~(12)CO excitation temperature was found. While some C~(18)O emissions were detected, they were too weak to be mapped. With the linear resolution of 0.08 pc and the velocity resolution of 0.17 km·s~(-1), 26 ~(13)CO cores were identified in the dense regions. All the local thermodynamic equilibrium masses of these cores are less than their Virial masses, ranging in 0.5-10 M_⊙,and have no infrared point sources associated with them. Overall, the data indicate that there is no recent or ongoing star formation in this cloud. Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 97 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS III.

Hence how to efficiently search and catalog these space objects becomes an urgent problem to be solved. In the paper, in order to contribute to this problem, the secular analytical solution of the orbital plane for medium and high orbit objects is studied. For medium and high orbit objects, the Earth's oblateness and the lunisolar gravitational perturbations are considered. The double averaging method is used to first average the system. For small to medium orbit inclinations and small eccentricities, and then the differential equations can be rewritten in an expansion form. Combining the Lindstedt-Poincare procedure and the solution for differential equations with special coefficients, the third-order analytical solutions can be derived step by step. Finally, two kinds of comparisons are carried out. One is the comparison between the analytical solution and the results derived by integrating the simplified model. It aims to verify the validity of these methods. The other one is the comparison with the integration results of the normal model to show the accuracy of the analytical solution. Both of the two comparisons results work well. The accuracy of the analytical solution can be maintained at the order of O(10(-3)) for the duration of 200 yrs. (C) 2017 COSPAR.

Former expressions of instantaneous torque established in body-fixed coordinate system will change in space during rotation due to the variation of the coordinate system. In order to further investigate the evolution of the rotation of space debris subjected to the eddy current torque, approximate expressions of mean eddy current torque in inertial coordinate system are obtained from the average of the Euler dynamics equations under the assumption that two of 98 Long-term dynamical evolution of Tundra-type orbits Zhang, MJ (Zhang, Ming-Jiang); Zhao, CY (Zhao, Chang-Yin); Hou, YG (Hou, Yong-Gang); Zhu, TL (Zhu, Ting-Lei); Wang, HB (Wang, Hong-Bo); Sun, RY (Sun, Rong-Yu); Zhang, W (Zhang, Wei) ADVANCES IN SPACE RESEARCH 卷: 59 期: 2 页: 682-697 Tundra-type orbits are elliptical geosynchronous orbits located at the critical inclination. The long-term dynamical evolution of this type of special orbit is investigated in this paper. First, the effect of Earth's gravitational potential is examined. A simplified Hamiltonian of Tundra-type orbits subjected to Earth's gravitational potential is presented through a strict magnitude comparison of the involved terms. Based on this simplified Hamiltonian with two degrees of freedom, the equilibrium points of the orbits subjected to Earth's gravitational potential and their stabilities are discussed. This simplified Hamiltonian is then reduced to a one-degree-of-freedom system dominating the intermediate-period motion of the orbits approximately. In particular, the main characteristic parameters of the intermediate-period motion for nominal Tundra-type orbits and the corresponding specific results for three Sirius satellites in such orbits are presented. Second, the effect of lunisolar perturbations is examined. A magnitude comparison elementarily illustrates that the effect of tesseral harmonics of the Earth's gravitational potential on the long timespan evolution of Tundra-type orbits is negligible compared to that of lunisolar perturbations. A simplified dynamical model including lunisolar perturbations is then presented. Based on this simplified dynamical model, the influences of lunar precession, the initial longitude of the ascending node, the initial argument of perigee, and the initial epoch on the long-term dynamical evolution of the orbits are comparatively analyzed. Finally, numerical calculations with exact perturbation models are conducted to verify the theoretical analysis and to provide more information about the dynamical evolution of Tundra-type orbits.

The algorithm calculates the transformation Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 coefficients for every single exposure to eliminate the effects of the possible shifts of the lenses. The way of reprojection and co-adding applied here is a linear method similar to Drizzle, and a reasonable simplification is applied to accelerate the computation. All the calculation can be finished in about 100 ms on a 3.4 GHz CPU with 4 cores, which matches the needs for the observation of space debris perfectly, while the limiting magnitude is improved by about 0.8. The co-adding results of our algorithm are very close to SWarp's, even slightly better in terms of SNRs. (C) 2017 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. networks. Owing to channel loss, however, the previously achieved distance was limited to similar to 100 kilometers. Here we demonstrate satellite-based distribution of entangled photon pairs to two locations separated by 1203 kilometers on Earth, through two satellite-to-ground downlinks with a summed length varying from 1600 to 2400 kilometers. We observed a survival of two-photon entanglement and a violation of Bell inequality by 2.37 +/0.09 under strict Einstein locality conditions. The obtained effective link efficiency is orders of magnitude higher than that of the direct bidirectional transmission of the two photons through telecommunication fibers. 第 214 条,共 286 条 Blind deconvolution with principal components analysis for wide-field and small-aperture telescopes Jia, P (Jia, Peng); Sun, RY (Sun, Rongyu); Wang, WN (Wang, Weinan); Cai, DM (Cai, Dongmei); Liu, HG (Liu, Huigen) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 470 期: 2 页: 1950-1959 Telescopes with a wide field of view (greater than 1 degrees) and small apertures (less than 2 m) are workhorses for observations such as sky surveys and fast-moving object detection, and play an important role in time-domain astronomy. However, images captured by these telescopes are contaminated by optical system aberrations, atmospheric turbulence, tracking errors and wind shear. To increase the quality of images and maximize their scientific output, we propose a new blind deconvolution algorithm based on statistical properties of the point spread functions (PSFs) of these telescopes. In this new algorithm, we first construct the PSF feature space through principal component analysis, and then classify PSFs from a different position and time using a self-organizing map. According to the classification results, we divide images of the same PSF types and select these PSFs to construct a prior PSF. The prior PSF is then used to restore these images. To investigate the improvement that this algorithm provides for data reduction, we process images of space debris captured by our small-aperture wide-field telescopes. Comparing the reduced results of the original images and the images processed with the standard Richardson-Lucy method, our method shows a promising improvement in astrometry accuracy. 第 216 条,共 286 条 Investigations of associated multi-band observations for GEO space debris Lu, Y (Lu, Yao); Zhang, C (Zhang, Chen); Sun, RY (Sun, Rong-yu); Zhao, CY (Zhao, Chang-yin); Xiong, JN (Xiong, Jian-ning) ADVANCES IN SPACE RESEARCH 卷: 59 期: 10 页: 2501-2511 According to the proposal of active space debris removal, the knowledge of the shape, rotational state and surface characteristics of space debris is demanding. An associated multi-band observation of the Geosynchronous Earth Orbit space debris is performed to investigate the improvement and promotion while infrared and g'Vr'i' information are provided. The Quad-Channel Telescope and the famous United Kingdom Infrared Telescope are adopted in our observation, along with other two dedicated space debris telescopes. Due to the limitation of geometry, the infrared data of 13 objects are acquired, and the photometry results are obtained. The tumbling motion is analyzed with the brightness variations, and the color indices are investigated according to the bus type of objects. At last the frequency analysis of the multi-band light curves is performed, the consistency and non-consistency of the results under different circumstances are presented. It is demonstrated that the adoption of multi-band observations is useful for increasing the knowledge of space debris, and the applications are deserved to be further promoted. (C) 2017 COSPAR.

Assuming that the lunar orbital plane coincides with the ecliptic plane, Allan and Cook (Proc. R. Soc. A, Math. Phys. Eng.

Using their result as an intermediate solution, we establish an approximate analytic model with lunar orbital inclination and its node regression be taken into account. Finally, an approximate analytic expression is derived, which is accurate compared to the numerical results except for the resonant cases when the 99 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS period of the reference orbit approximately equals the integer multiples (especially 1 or 2 times) of lunar node regression period. 第 218 条,共 286 条 Image Restoration Based on Statistic PSF Modeling for Improving the Astrometry of Space Debris Sun, RY (Sun, Rongyu); Jia, P (Jia, Peng) PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC 卷: 129 期: 974 文献号: UNSP 044502 Space debris is a special kind of fast-moving, near-Earth objects, and it is also considered to be an interesting topic in time-domain astronomy. Optical survey is the main technique for observing space debris, which contributes much to the studies of space environment. However, due to the motion of registered objects, image degradation is critical in optical space debris observations, as it affects the efficiency of data reduction and lowers the precision of astrometry. Therefore, the image restoration in the form of deconvolution can be applied to improve the data quality and reduction accuracy. To promote the image processing and optimize the reduction, the image degradation across the field of view is modeled statistically with principal component analysis and the efficient mean point-spread function (PSF) is derived from raw images, which is further used in the image restoration. To test the efficiency and reliability, trial observations were made for both low-Earth orbital and high-Earth orbital objects. The positions of all targets were measured using our novel approach and compared with the reference positions. The performance of image restoration employing our estimated PSF was compared with several competitive approaches. The proposed image restoration outperformed the others so that the influence of image degradation was distinctly reduced, which resulted in a higher signal-to-noise ratio and more precise astrometric measurements. 第 219 条,共 286 条 The Representation of OTA Images' Astrometric Results with WCS-SIP Coefficients Ping Yiding; Zhang Chen; Lu Chunlin Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷: 58 期: 3 页: 25-1-25-10 Cross-matching the sources extracted from observed images with reference catalogs or earlier records is a necessary procedure for seeking the variation of sources in terms of position or brightness for the Optical Telescopes Array (OTA) survey. Knowing the celestial positions of these objects on images is prerequisite therefore. A method based on matrix manipulation is applied to transform the existing calculated plate constants of OTA images into World Coordinate System (WCS) coefficients and Simple Imaging Polynomial (SIP) coefficients, which map image positions into celestial positions so as to facilitate the mining of the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) images of OTA. An improvement of OTA's astrometry coming with this method, as well as the discussion about some problems of OTA's astrometry are also presented. 第 220 条,共 286 条 100 Probabilistic Data Association Method for Space Object Tracking Xu Zhanwei; Wang Xin Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 3 页 : 26-1-26-8 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:3<26:KJMBGZ>2.0.TX;2-O In the optical tracking of space objects, multiple measurements are often detected in the observing gate, which brings about the uncertainty in the tracking accuracy and causes the unstability along the tracking path. This kind of condition will eventually interrupt the track and lead to the lost of the target. A new approach, combining the Kalman filter and probabilistic data association, is proposed for the adaptive tracking of space objects. This method employs Kalman filter to predict the gate of association, and uses probabilistic data association to obtain the equivalent measurement as an effective feed instead. The experiments show that this technique can effectively improve the tracking accuracy as well as the robustness for the automatic tracking of space objects. 第 221 条,共 286 条 Analysis of Nighttime Infrared Cloud Cover at Yaoan Astronomical Station Fan Liang; Lei Chengming; Shi Dongdong; Huang Xuehai Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 2 页 : 13-1-13-8 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:2<13:TATWGC>2.0.TX;2-D Clouds have important effects on astronomical observations. Cloud cover is an important indicator of the quality of an astronomical site. The infrared cloud imager which locates in Yaoan astronomical station, is used for the real-time acquisition of all-sky infrared cloud image with high spatial resolution. Combining the actual observations of space debris, according to astronomical nights strictly, we make statistics and analysis of cloud cover at night accumulated in one year (from 2015-08-01 to 2016- 07-31). Annual average cloud cover at night at Yaoan astronomical station is 4.42 ten percent, and there are 236 available astronomy nights, including 98 photometric nights, 44 half-photometric nights, and 94 spectroscopic nights. The cloud cover has obvious characteristics of two seasons: the rainy season with a significant increase in cloud cover is from May to October, and the observation conditions are worst in July; The dry season is from November to April with low cloud cover, there are more than 23 available astronomy nights monthly, the most numerous photometric nights are in January, and the most available astronomy nights are in March. Combined with the threat level of cloud for astronomical observation, we make statistics of the total time of different cloud covers and the monthly distribution of cloud covers, to assess the meteorological conditions of the station, and to provide a reference for reasonable arrangements of the astronomical observations. 第 222 条,共 286 条 Research Progress on Ground-based Infrared Observations of Space Objects Fan Liang; Lei Chengming; Sun Rongyu; Lu Yao; Zhang Chen Progress in Astronomy 卷 : 35 期 : 1 页 : 93-106 文 献 号 : 1000-8349(2017)35:1<93:KJMBDD>2.0.TX;2-Z As a new research field, ground-based infrared observations of space objects may extend the horizons of traditional radar Annual Report’2017–Abstract List of Publications in 2017 and optical observations, improving the mechanism of space surveillance.

We use a damped mass spring model within an N-body simulation to study spin and obliquity evolution for single spinning non round bodies in circumbinary orbit. Simulations with tidal dissipation alone do not show strong obliquity variations from tidally induced spin-orbit resonance crossing and this we attribute to the high satellite spin rates and low orbital eccentricities. However, a tidally evolving Styx exhibits intermittent obliquity variations and episodes of tumbling. During a previous epoch where Charon migrated away from Pluto, the minor satellites could have been trapped in orbital mean motion inclination resonances. An outward migrating Charon induces large variations in Nix and Styx's obliquities. 102 The cause is a commensurability between the mean motion resonance frequency and the spin precession rate of the spinning body. As the minor satellites are near mean motion resonances, this mechanism could have lifted the obliquities of all four minor satellites. The high obliquities need not be primordial if the minor satellites were at one time captured into mean motion resonances. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

R-band photometric observations of eight different transits of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-33b, which has Annual Research Report’2015 been targeted by our Transiting Exoplanet Monitoring Project. The data were obtained by two telescopes at the Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) from 2013 December through 2016 January, and exhibit photometric scatter of 1.6-3.0 mmag. After jointly analyzing the previously published photometric data, radial-velocity (RV) measurements, and our new light curves, we revisit the system parameters and orbital ephemeris for the HAT-P-33b system. Our results are consistent with the published values except for the planet to. star radius ratio (RP/R-*), the ingress/egress duration (tau) and the total duration (T-14), which together indicate a slightly shallower and shorter transit shape. Our results are based on more complete light curves, whereas the previously published work had only one complete transit light curve. No significant anomalies in Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) are found, and we place upper mass limits on potential perturbers, largely supplanting the loose constraints provided by the extant RV data. The TTV limits are stronger near mean-motion resonances, especially for the low-order commensurabilities. We can exclude the existence of a perturber with mass larger than 0.6, 0.3, 0.5, 0.5, and 0.3 M-circle plus near the 1: 3, 1: 2, 2: 3, 3: 2, and 2: 1 resonances, respectively.

A cloud-free atmosphere is stringently ruled out. By assessing the absorption depths of sodium in various bin widths, we find that temperature increases towards lower atmospheric pressure levels, with a positive temperature gradient of 0.88 +/- 0.65 K km(-1), possibly indicative of upper atmospheric heating and a temperature inversion. 第 230 条,共 286 条 Feature-rich transmission spectrum for WASP-127b Cloud-free skies for the puffiest known super-Neptune?

ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 602 文献号: L15 Context. WASP-127b is a planet with one of the lowest densities discovered to date. With a sub-Saturn mass (M-p = 0.18 +/- 0.02 M-J) and super-Jupiter radius (R-p = 1.37 +/0.04 R-J), it orbits a bright G5 star that is about to leave the main-sequence. Aims. We aim to explore the atmosphere of WASP-127b in order to retrieve its main atmospheric components, and to find hints for its intriguing inflation and evolutionary history. Methods. We used the ALFOSC spectrograph at the NOT telescope to observe a low-resolution (R similar to 330, seeing limited) long-slit spectroscopic time series during a planetary transit, and present here the first transmission spectrum for WASP-127b. Results. We find a strong Rayleigh slope at blue wavelengths and a hint of Na absorption, although the quality of the data does not allow us to claim a detection. At redder wavelengths the absorption features of TiO and VO are the best explanation to fit the data. Conclusions. Although observations with a higher signal-to-noise ratio are needed to conclusively confirm the absorption features, WASP-127b seems to posses a cloud-free atmosphere and is one of the best targets on which to perform further characterization studies in the near future. 第 231 条,共 286 条 第 232 条,共 286 条 The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey V.

As a sub-Uranus-mass low-density planet, GJ 3470b has been found to show a flat featureless transmission spectrum in the infrared and a tentative Rayleigh scattering slope in the optical. We conducted an optical transmission spectroscopy project to assess the impacts of stellar activity and to determine whether or not GJ 3470b hosts a hydrogen-rich gas envelop. Methods. We observed three transits with the low-resolution Optical System for Imaging and low-Intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias, and one transit with the high-resolution Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) at the 8.2 m Very Large Telescope. Results. From the high-resolution data, we find that the difference of the Ca II H+K lines in-and out-of-transit is only 0 : 67 +/- 0 : 22%, and determine a magnetic filling factor of about 10-15%. From the low-resolution data, we present the first optical transmission spectrum in the 435-755 nm band, which shows a slope consistent with Rayleigh scattering. Conclusions. After exploring the potential impacts of stellar activity in our observations, we confirm that Rayleigh scattering in an extended hydrogen-helium atmosphere is currently the best explanation. Further high-precision observations that simultaneously cover optical and infrared bands are required to answer whether or not clouds and hazes exist at high-altitude. 103 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 第 233 条,共 286 条 The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey VII.

Transiting planets off er an excellent opportunity for characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets under very different conditions from those found in our solar system. Aims. We are currently carrying out a ground-based survey to obtain the transmission spectra of several extrasolar planets using the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias. In this paper we investigate the extrasolar planet WASP-48b, a hot Jupiter orbiting around an F-type star with a period of 2.14 days. Methods. We obtained long-slit optical spectroscopy of one transit of WASP-48b with the Optical System for Imaging and low-Intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) spectrograph. We integrated the spectrum of WASP-48 and one reference star in several channels with different wavelength ranges, creating numerous color light curves of the transit. We fit analytic transit curves to the data taking into account the systematic effects present in the time series in an effort to measure the change of the planet-to-star radius ratio (R-p/R-s) across wavelength. The change in transit depth can be compared with atmosphere models to infer the presence of particular atomic or molecular compounds in the atmosphere of WASP-48b. Results. After removing the transit model and systematic trends to the curves we reached precisions between 261 ppm and 455755 ppm for the white and spectroscopic light curves, respectively. We obtained R-p/R-s uncertainty values between 0.8 x 10(3) and 1.5 x 10(3) for all the curves analyzed in this work. The measured transit depth for the curves made by integrating the wavelength range between 530 nm and 905 nm is in agreement with previous studies. We report a relatively flat transmission spectrum for WASP-48b with no statistical significant detection of atmospheric species, although the theoretical models that fit the data more closely include TiO and VO. 第 234 条,共 286 条 Obliquity evolution of the minor satellites of Pluto and Charon AC Quillen F Nichols-Fleming YY Chen B Noyelles Icarus, 2017 , 293 :94-113 New Horizons mission observations show that the small satellites Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra, of the Pluto-Charon system, have not tidally spun-down to near synchronous spin states and have high obliquities with respect to their orbit about the Pluto-Charon binary (Weaver, 2016). We use a damped mass-spring model within an N-body simulation to study spin and obliquity evolution for single spinning non-round bodies in circumbinary orbit. Simulations with tidal dissipation alone do not show strong obliquity variations from tidally induced spin-orbit resonance crossing 104 and this we attribute to the high satellite spin rates and low orbital eccentricities. However, a tidally evolving Styx exhibits intermittent obliquity variations and episodes of tumbling. During a previous epoch where Charon migrated away from Pluto, the minor satellites could have been trapped in orbital mean motion inclination resonances. An outward migrating Charon induces large variations in Nix and Styx 鈥檚 obliquities. The cause is a commensurability between the mean motion resonance frequency and the spin precession rate of the spinning body. As the minor satellites are near mean motion resonances, this mechanism could have lifted the obliquities of all four minor satellites. The high obliquities need not be primordial if the minor satellites were at one time captured into mean motion resonances. 4-02 Ephemerial Astronomy and Astronomical Reference System 第 235 条,共 286 条 Solar System and stellar tests of noncommutative spectral geometry Deng, XM (Deng, Xue-Mei) EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL PLUS 卷: 132 期: 2 文献号: 85 By using purely geometric forces on a noncommutative spacetime, noncommutative spectral geometry (NCSG) was proposed as a possible way to unify gravitation with the other known fundamental forces. The correction of the NCSG solution to Einstein's general relativity (GR) in the four-dimensional spacetime can be characterized by a parameter beta similar to 1/root f(0), where f(0) denotes the coupling constants at the unification. The parameter beta contributes a Yukawa-type correction exp(-beta r)/r to the Newtonian gravitational potential at the leading order, which can be interpreted as either the massive component of the gravitational field or the typical range of interactions carried by that component of the field. As an extension of previous works, we mainly focus on the Solar System and stellar tests of the theory, and the constraints on similar to obtained by the present work is independent of the previous ones. In the Solar System, we investigate the effects of the NCSG on the perihelion shift of a planet, deflection of light, time delay at superior conjunction (SC) and inferior conjunction (IC), and the Cassini experiment by modeling new observational results and adopting new datasets. In the binary pulsars system, based on the observational data sets of four systems of binary pulsars, PSR B1913+ 16, PSR B1534+ 12, PSR J0737-3039, and PSR B2127+ 11C, the secular periastron precessions are used to constrain this theory. These effects in the scale of the Solar System and binary pulsars were not considered in previous works. We find that the lower bounds given by these experiments are beta similar or equal to 10(-9) similar to 10(-10) m(-1), Annual Research Report’2015 considerably smaller than those obtained in laboratory experiments. This confirms that experiments and observations at smaller scales are more favorable for testing the NCSG theory. 第 236 条,共 286 条 Deep Imaging of the HCG 95 Field. I.

This field contains one rich galaxy cluster (Abell 2588 at z. = .0.199) and two poor clusters (Pegasus I at z = .0.013 and Pegasus II at z = .0.040). The 89 candidates are likely associated with the two poor clusters, giving about 50-60 true UDGs with a half-light radius r(e) > 1.5 kpc and a central surface brightness mu(g, 0) > 24.0 mag arcsec(-2). Deep z'-band images are available for 84 of the 89 galaxies from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), confirming that these galaxies have an extremely low central surface brightness. Moreover, our UDG candidates are spread over a wide range in g - r color, and similar to 26% are as blue as normal star-forming galaxies, which is suggestive of young UDGs that are still in formation. Interestingly, we find that one UDG linked with HCG 95 is a gas-rich galaxy with H I mass 1.1 x 10(9) M-circle dot detected by the Very Large Array, and has a stellar mass of M-star similar to 1.8 x 10(8) M-circle dot. This indicates that UDGs at least partially overlap with the population of nearly dark galaxies found in deep H I surveys. Our results show that the high abundance of blue UDGs in the HCG 95 field is favored by the environment of poor galaxy clusters residing in H I-rich large-scale structures. solution, reducing chi(2) from 1.4 to 1.2. This new solution is significantly different from the previous one, and in particular, with smaller ec. However, the increased possibility for the system to be trapped in a 2: 1 MMR with apsidal co-rotation is still not high. A set of simulations of the adiabatic convergent migration process are then performed. The results consistently indicate that the 2: 1 MMR forms before apsidal co-rotation. Finally, the long-term stability of the formed system and of its resonant structure is extensively explored, and the resulting statistics are given. A conclusion is that the 2: 1 MMR with apsidal co-rotation is a very stable structure. 第 238 条,共 286 条 Classical tests of photons coupled to Weyl tensor in the Solar System 第 237 条,共 286 条 Li, G (Li, Gang); Deng, XM (Deng, Xue-Mei) ANNALS OF PHYSICS 卷: 382 页: 136-142 With the purpose of deeply understanding the fundamental interaction between the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, photons coupled to the Weyl tensor was proposed, which could be derived from the Maxwell equation with a Weyl correction. This correction with respect to general relativity in a 4-dimensional spacetime can be characterized by a coupling strength parameter a. By taking such a coupling into account, we investigate its effects on the classical tests in the Solar System, including the deflection of light, the gravitational time delay and the Cassini tracking experiment, and constrain the parameter a with new datasets. None of these works were done before and these data of the experiments are used for testing the photons coupled to the Weyl tensor for the first time. We find that the experimental upper bounds are vertical bar alpha vertical bar less than or similar to 4 x 10(11) - 5 x 10(13) m(2), in which the strongest bound comes from the Cassini tracking. Therefore, it is expected that when more sophisticated frequency standards can be implemented in the al analysis slightly differ from the power law index (-1.67) obtained by a theoretical model. The observations are consistent with adiabatic expansion of the coronal source component.

For the 2:1 MMR, Beauge et al. found that as long as the orbital decay was sufficiently slow, the trapped planets should also be in apsidal co-rotation. So it is very interesting to explore whether HD 155358 did undergo such an evolution and presents an apsidal co-rotation. Based on the existing results of spectroscopic orbital determination, the global dynamics of the system shows that the two planets are in an apsidal co-rotation if the eccentricity of the outer planet (ec) takes values very close to the lower limit of its 1 sigma confidence interval. This makes us conjecture that the globally minimizing solution could be missed in the previous orbital determination.

Although these factors can be neglected in most cases, it is shown that there are cases when these factors can cause a variation ranging from several tens to thousands of kilometers in the boundaries of occultation bands. Knowledge of analytic geometry simplifies the process of derivation and computation. This method is applied to long-term predictions of Jovian and Saturnian events. 105 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 第 240 条,共 286 条 Improved Solar System bounds on the cosmologically viable f (G) gravity Deng, XM (Deng, Xue-Mei); Xie, Y (Xie, Yi) ASTROPHYSICS AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 362 期: 3 文献号: 59 By making use of the supplementary advances of the perihelia provided by INPOP10a and INPOP15a (France) and EPM2011 (Russia) ephemerides, we obtain improved Solar System bounds on the cosmologically viable f (G) gravity, where f is an arbitrary function of the Gauss-Bonnet invariant G. When we estimate new bounds on its model parameters, we consider the Lense-Thirring effect caused by the Sun's angular momentum and the uncertainty of the Sun's quadrupole moment, neither of which were included in related works before. The bounds we obtain in the present work are tighter than the previous ones by at least 5 orders of magnitude. 第 241 条,共 286 条 Gravitational time advancement under gravity's rainbow Deng, XM (Deng, Xue-Mei); Xie, Y (Xie, Yi) PHYSICS LETTERS B 卷: 772 页: 152-158 Under gravity's rainbow, we investigate its effects on the gravitational time advancement, which is a natural consequence of measuring proper time span for a photon's round trip. This time advancement can be complementary to the time delay for testing the gravity's rainbow, because they are sensitive to different modified dispersion relations (MDRs). Its observability on ranging a spacecraft far from the Earth by two radio and a laser links is estimated at superior conjunction (SC) and inferior conjunction (IC). We find that (1) the IC is more favorable than the SC for measurement on the advancement caused by the rainbow; (2) aspecific type of MDR has a significantly larger effect on the advancement than others in both SC and IC cases; and (3) acombination of available optical clocks and the realization of planetary laser ranging in the future will benefit distinguishing the gravity's rainbow from GR by measuring the gravitational time advancement.

So far, the number of known asteroids is more than seven hundred thousand, and the total number is probably more than one million. Among many events of encounters among asteroids, those very close ones can be used to improve the precision of the masses of asteroids. To achieve this, it's necessary to search for the latter events in advance by making an accurate assessment of the effectiveness of an encounter in the mass determination. In this context, the previous dynamical models and assessing indicators are not precise enough. By using a more realistic dynamical model and 106 introducing a properly defined Signal-to-Noise ratio, we are able to estimate the precision of the mass determination based on observations made from the Earth. Moreover, the best observation time span can be quantitatively given, which is useful in collecting observational data and planning further observations. We search systematically for the useful asteroid encounters involving one of the 773 massive asteroids with equivalent diameter larger than 50 km, for which the searched time span is from the year 2000 to 2030. 第 243 条,共 286 条 Solar system and binary pulsars tests of the minimal momentum uncertainty principle Deng, XM (Deng, Xue-Mei) 卷: 120 期: 6 文献号: 60004 In order to explore a minimal momentum uncertainty principle in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the minimal momentum uncertainty principle (MMUP) was proposed. The correction on the canonical commutation relation of MMUP can be parametrized by a and alpha'. In the macroscopic scale, MMUP could change bodies' orbital motion, which is different from the results of general relativity ( GR). In the present work, we mainly focus on the influence of MMUP on the tests of the Solar System and the binary pulsars. In the Solar System, the perihelion shift of a planet has been remodeled under MMUP by the data of INPOP10a, EPM2011 and INPOP15a. In five systems of binary pulsars, the upper bounds of a and alpha' are obtained by using the data of the secular periastron precessions. These five systems are PSR B1913+16, PSR B1534+12, PSR J1756-2251, PSR B2127+11C and PSR J0737-3039. Few studies about the tests have been done before and the effects of MMUP on these systems are investigated for the first time. They show that the upper bounds of a and a alpha' constrained by planets of the Solar System and the binary pulsars are alpha + alpha'= 10- 28 similar to 10(-36) m(-2), tighter than the previous result by at least 2 orders of magnitude. It is expected that the bounds on MMUP will be further improved by tremendous advances in techniques for deep space exploration and by new tracking data sets.

JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS 卷: 122 期: 5 页: 4879-4894 Wave activities in the solar wind are an important topic and magnetic clouds (MCs) are a common phenomenon in interplanetary space, though waves activities associated with MCs have not been well documented. Based on a survey of 120 MCs observed by STEREO spacecraft during the years 2007-2013, this work studies electromagnetic cyclotron waves (ECWs) near the proton cyclotron frequency in and around MCs. For total 7807 ECW events, 24% of them occurred in the regions within MCs while 76% occurred in the regions around MCs. Statistics indicate that ECWs around MCs have higher frequencies, wider bandwidths, and stronger powers relative to the waves in MCs. More ECWs, on the other hand, tend to be related to a plasma with higher temperature, lower density, and larger velocity. In particular, it is found that there exist positive power law correlations between plasma betas and the wave frequencies, bandwidths, and powers. The results imply that the plasma beta should play an important role in determining the properties of ECWs, which is consistent with previous theory studies and the recent simulation results. 第 246 条,共 286 条 Effects of ion thermal pressure on wave properties of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in a H+-He+-O+ plasma Tang, Y (Tang, Ying); Zhao, JS (Zhao, Jinsong); Sun, HY (Sun, Heyu); Lu, JY (Lu, Jianyong); Wang, M (Wang, Ming) PHYSICS OF PLASMAS 卷: 24 期: 5 文献号: 052120 Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the H+, He+, and O+ bands are frequently observed in the magnetosphere. This study examines the effects of the thermal pressure of heavy He+ and O+ ions on EMIC wave properties. It illustrates that hot and isotropic heavy ions may completely suppress the growth of He+ band EMIC waves, whereas H+ band waves are growing irrespective of whether the heavy ions are cool or hot. At large O+ ion concentration, O+ band waves grow considerably as hot protons, and heavy ions are anisotropic. Results from the hot fluid model show that anisotropic thermal pressures of heavy ions result in the resonance frequency of EMIC waves larger than that from the cold fluid model, and therefore, narrowing the corresponding stop bands. Furthermore, the anisotropic ion thermal pressures lead to the minimum resonant energy of electrons interacting with EMIC waves at higher frequencies than that predicted by the cold fluid model.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 836 期: 2 文献号: L27 We report on the observations of an electron vortex magnetic hole corresponding to a new type of coherent structure in the turbulent magnetosheath plasma using the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission data. The magnetic hole is characterized by a magnetic depression, a density peak, a total electron temperature increase (with a parallel temperature decrease but a perpendicular temperature increase), and strong currents carried by the electrons. The current has a dip in the core region and a peak in the outer region of the magnetic hole. The estimated size of the magnetic hole is about 0.23 rho(i) (similar to 30 rho(e)) in the quasi-circular cross-section perpendicular to its axis, where rho(i) and rho(e) are respectively the proton and electron gyroradius. There are no clear enhancements seen in high-energy electron fluxes. However, there is an enhancement in the perpendicular electron fluxes at 90 degrees pitch angle inside the magnetic hole, implying that the electrons are trapped within it. The variations of the electron velocity components V-em and V-en suggest that an electron vortex is formed by trapping electrons inside the magnetic hole in the cross-section in the M-N plane. These observations demonstrate the existence of a new type of coherent structures behaving as an electron vortex magnetic hole in turbulent space plasmas as predicted by recent kinetic simulations. 第 248 条,共 286 条 Radial Variations of Outward and Inward Alfvenic Fluctuations Based on Ulysses Observations Yang, L (Yang, L.); Lee, LC (Lee, L.

ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 850 期: 2 文献号: 177 Ulysses magnetic and plasma data are used to study hourly scale Alfvenic fluctuations in the solar polar wind. The calculated energy ratio R-vA(2) (cal) of inward to outward Alfven waves is obtained from the observed Walen slope through an analytical expression, and the observed R-vA(2) (obs) is based on a direct decomposition of original Alfvenic fluctuations into outward-and inward-propagating Alfven waves. The radial variation of R-vA(2) (cal) shows a monotonically increasing trend with heliocentric distance r, implying the increasing local generation or contribution of inward Alfven waves. The contribution is also shown by the 107 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS radial increase in the occurrence of dominant inward fluctuations. We further pointed out a higher occurrence (similar to 83% of a day in average) of dominant outward Alfvenic fluctuations in the solar wind than previously estimated. Since R-vA(2) (cal) is more accurate than R-vA(2) (obs) in the measurement of the energy ratio for dominant outward fluctuations, the values of R-vA(2) (cal) in our results are likely more realistic in the solar wind than those previously estimated as well as R-vA(2) (obs) in our results. The duration ratio R-T of dominant inward to all Alfvenic fluctuations increases monotonically with r, and is about two or more times that from Voyager 2 observations at r >= 4 au. These results reveal new qualitative and quantitative features of Alfvenic fluctuations therein compared with previous studies and put constraints on modeling the variation of solar wind fluctuations. 第 249 条,共 286 条 Research Progress of Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission on Solar Physics Tang Jianfei; Wu Dejin; Zhao Guoqing; Chen Ling Progress in Astronomy 卷 : 35 期 : 2 页 : 149-174 文 献 号 : 1000-8349(2017)35:2<149:DZHXMZ>2.0.TX;2-F Electron-cyclotron maser (ECM) emission is a well-known radiation emission mechanism in astrophysics. It has been extensively applied to various nonthermal coherent radio emission, especially to the short-timescale coherent radio bursts. Excitation of electron cyclotron maser radiation requires two basic conditions. One is the inversion distribution of the energetic electrons in the direction perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field. The other is the escape difficulty that requires the local electron cyclotron frequency over the plasma frequency. These two conditions are hardly satisfied in the corona under the conventional solar atmosphere models, which limit the application of ECM emission mechanism to solar radio astronomy. In general, flare associated energetic electrons are accelerated initially mainly along the magnetic field, it means that these energetic electrons do not have enough free energy to drive ECM emission. After the energetic electrons leave the acceleration site and propagate in the solar atmosphere, the energy of the energetic electrons in the parallel orientation can be transfer to the perpendicular orientation, and form an anisotropic distribution due to the interaction of energetic electrons with magnetic field and plasma waves. For the escape difficulty, a density depletion duct in the corona is necessary and may be rational as optical observations show fibrous density structures exist commonly in the corona. This paper presents a systematic review on the recent development of ECM emission mechanism, especially on the new models which may overcome the above difficulties and can be applied in several kinds of solar radio bursts, such as type I bursts, type II bursts, and type V bursts. Some perspectives on the study of ECM mechanism and solar radio emission processes are also presented. 第 250 条,共 286 条 A self-consistent mechanism for electron cyclotron maser emission and its application to type III solar radio bursts Chen, L (Chen, L.); Wu, DJ (Wu, D.

JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS 卷: 122 期: 1 页: 35-49 Type III solar radio bursts (SRBs) produced by fast electron beams (FEBs) traveling along solar magnetic fields are the best known and the most important kind of SRBs because of their clearest association with FEBs as well as most frequent observations during solar activities. However, the physics of their emitting mechanism has been a controversial issue. Based on the electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability driven directly by a magnetized FEB, whose physics is fairly well known from the Earth's auroral kilometric radiation, this paper proposes a self-consistent mechanism for type III SRBs, in which the Alfven wave (AW) produced by the current instability of the beam-return current system associated with the FEB, called the self-generated AW, plays an important and crucial role. Taking into account the return-current effect of the FEB, the growth rate and the saturation intensity of the self-generated AW are estimated. Then the effects of the self-generated AW on the ECM emission via the ECM instability driven by the magnetized FEB are further investigated. The results show that the self-generated AW can significantly influence and change the physical properties of the ECM emission. In particular, this novel ECM emission mechanism can effectively overcome the main difficulties of the conventional ECM emission mechanism in application to type III SRBs and may potentially provide a self-consistent physics scenario for type III SRBs. 第 251 条,共 286 条 Chaos-induced resistivity of collisionless magnetic reconnection in the presence of a guide field Shang, M (Shang, Meng); Wu, DJ (Wu, De-Jin); Chen, L (Chen, Ling); Chen, PF (Chen, Peng-Fei) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 1 文献号: 3 One of the most puzzling problems in astrophysics is to understand the anomalous resistivity in collisionless magnetic reconnection that is believed extensively to be responsible for the energy release in various eruptive phenomena. The magnetic null point in the reconnecting current sheet, acting as a scattering center, can lead to chaotic motions of particles in the current sheet, which is one of the possible mechanisms for anomalous resistivity and is called chaos-induced resistivity. In many interesting cases, however, instead of the magnetic null point, there is a nonzero magnetic field perpendicular to the merging field lines, usually called the guide field, whose effect on chaos-induced resistivity has been an open problem. By use of the test particle simulation method and statistical analysis, we investigate chaos-induced resistivity in the presence of a constant guide field. The characteristics of particle motion in the reconnecting region, in particular, the chaotic behavior of particle orbits and evolving statistical features, are analyzed. The results show that as the guide field increases, the radius of the chaos region increases and the Lyapunov index decreases. However, the effective collision frequency, and hence the chaos-induced resistivity, reach their peak values when the guide field approaches half of the characteristic strength of the reconnection magnetic field. The presence of a guide field can significantly influence the chaos of the particle orbits and hence the chaos-induced resistivity in the reconnection sheet, which decides the collisionless reconnection rate. The present result is helpful Annual Research Report’2015 for us to understand the micro physics of anomalous resistivity in collisionless reconnection with a guide field. 第 252 条,共 286 条 Time-dependent Occurrence Rate of Electromagnetic Cyclotron Waves in the Solar Wind: Evidence for the Effect of Alpha Particles? Zhao, GQ (Zhao, G. Q.); Feng, HQ (Feng, H. Q.); Wu, DJ (Wu, D. J.); Chu, YH (Chu, Y. H.); Huang, J (Huang, J.) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS 卷: 847 期: 1 文献号: L8 Previous studies revealed that electromagnetic cyclotron waves (ECWs) near the proton cyclotron frequency exist widely in the solar wind, and the majority of ECWs are left-handed (LH) polarized waves. Using the magnetic field data from the STEREO mission, this Letter carries out a survey of ECWs over a long period of 7 years and calculates the occurrence rates of ECWs with different polarization senses. Results show that the occurrence rate is nearly a constant for the ECWs with right-handed polarization, but it varies significantly for the ECWs with LH polarization. Further investigation of plasma conditions reveals that the LH ECWs take place preferentially in a plasma characterized by higher temperature, lower density, and larger velocity. Some considerable correlations between the occurrence rate of LH ECWs and the properties of ambient plasmas are discussed. The present research may provide evidence for the effect of alpha particles on the generation of ECWs. 第 253 条,共 286 条 A statistical study of kinetic-size magnetic holes in turbulent magnetosheath: MMS observations Huang, SY (Huang, S.

JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS 卷: 122 期: 8 页: 8577-8588 Kinetic-size magnetic holes (KSMHs) in the turbulent magnetosheath are statistically investigated using high time resolution data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. The KSMHs with short duration (i.e., < 0.5 s) have their cross section smaller than the ion gyroradius. Superposed epoch analysis of all events reveals that an increase in the electron density and total temperature significantly increases (resp. decrease) the electron perpendicular (resp. parallel) temperature and an electron vortex inside KSMHs. Electron fluxes at similar to 90 degrees pitch angles with selective energies increase in the KSMHs are trapped inside KSMHs and form the electron vortex due to their collective motion. All these features are consistent with the electron vortex magnetic holes obtained in 2-D and 3-D particle-in-cell simulations, indicating that the observed KSMHs seem to be best explained as electron vortex magnetic holes. It is furthermore shown that KSMHs are likely to heat and accelerate the electrons. Plain Language Summary A nonlinear energy cascade in magnetized turbulent plasmas leads to the formation of different coherent structures which are thought to play an important role in dissipating energy and transporting particles. This study statistically investigate one new type of coherent structure, named electron vortex magnetic hole, used by Magnetospheric Multiscale data. It reveals the common features of this structure, including an increase in the electron density and total temperature, significantly increase (resp. decrease) the electron perpendicular (resp. parallel) temperature and an electron vortex inside these holes. The increase of electron temperature inside the holes indicates that these holes are likely to heat and accelerate the electrons. This gives new clue for energy dissipation in turbulent plasmas. 第 254 条,共 286 条 电子回旋脉泽辐射机制在太阳物理中的进展 唐建飞 吴德金 赵国清 陈玲 Progress in Astronomy 电子回旋脉泽辐射是一种重要的射电辐射机制,将其应用 在太阳物理中,需要解决两个困难:一是自由能来源问题; 二是辐射的逃逸问题。高能电子束离开加速区后,在磁等离 子体中与磁场、波等相互作用可以形成不同的速度空间分 布,可以为脉泽辐射提供自由能。对于辐射逃逸问题,日冕 低密度导管的假设可以解决这一困难。介绍了近几年回旋 脉泽辐射研究的进展及其在太阳射电爆发中的应用,以及 阐述了该领域未来研究方向。 基金:新疆维吾尔自治区自然科学基金青年项目 (2013211B40); 关键词:辐射机制; 电子回旋脉泽不稳定性; 射电暴; 幂 律谱; 分类号:P182 第 255 条,共 286 条 Radial Variations of Outward and Inward Alfv é nic Fluctuations Based on Ulysses Observations, L Yang LC Lee JP Li QY Luo CL Kuo , 《Astrophysical Journal》 2017 , 850 (2) :177 Ulysses magnetic and plasma data are used to study hourly scale Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar polar wind. The calculated energy ratio {R}}(cal) of inward to outward Alfvén waves is obtained from the observed Walén slope through an analytical expression, and the observed {R}}(obs) is based on a direct decomposition of original Alfvénic fluctuations into outward- and inward-propagating Alfvén waves. The radial variation of {R}}(cal) shows a monotonically increasing trend with heliocentric distance r, implying the increasing local generation or contribution of inward Alfvén waves. The contribution is also shown by the radial increase in the occurrence of dominant inward fluctuations. We further pointed out a higher occurrence (65 83 % of a day in average) of dominant outward Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind than previously estimated. Since {R}}(cal) is more accurate than {R}}(obs) in the measurement of the energy ratio for dominant outward fluctuations, the values of {R}}(cal) in our results are likely more realistic in the solar wind than those previously estimated as well as {R}}(obs) in our results. The duration ratio R of dominant inward to all Alfvénic fluctuations increases monotonically with r, and is about two or more times that from Voyager 2 observations at r≥ slant 4 {au}.

The magnetic field of whistler waves is nearly circularly polarized with respect to the wave vector in a plasma where the electron plasma frequency Omega(pe) is much larger than the electron cyclotron frequency Omega(ce), and the magnetic field polarization can become elliptical, or even linear, polarization as Omega(pe) less than or similar to Omega(ce). In the plasmas with Omega(pe) < Omega(ce), the resonant frequency is about Omega(ce) cos theta, which is different from Omega(pe) cos theta predicted by the cold electron fluid model. Near the resonant frequency, the whistler wave approximates a quasi-magnetostatic mode, not a quasi-electrostatic mode in the cold electron plasmas. Moreover, the detailed mode properties are given in Earth's magnetosphere, the solar active region, and Jupiter's polar cap. Furthermore, the study proposes that the ratio of the electrostatic to electromagnetic component of the electric field can be used to distinguish the whistler mode from the Z-mode in the frequency range of Omega(pe) < omega < Omega(ce) in the solar active region and Jupiter's polar cap. 第 257 条,共 286 条 Applying the cold plasma dispersion relation to whistler mode chorus waves: EMFISIS wave measurements from the Van Allen Probes Zhao, JS (Zhao, Jinsong) Wiley Online Library 卷:230 期: 1 文献号: 11 Most theoretical wave models require the power in the wave magnetic field in order to determine the effect of chorus waves on radiation belt electrons. However, researchers typically use the cold plasma dispersion relation to approximate the magnetic wave power when only electric field data are available. In this study, the validity of using the cold plasma dispersion relation in this context is tested using Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) observations of both the electric and magnetic spectral intensities in the chorus wave band (0.1– 0.9 fce). Results from this study indicate that the calculated wave intensity is least accurate during periods of enhanced wave activity. For observed wave intensities >10−3 nT2, using the cold plasma dispersion relation results in an underestimate of the wave intensity by a factor of 2 or greater 56% of the time over the full chorus wave band, 60% of the time for lower band chorus, and 59% of the time for upper band chorus. Hence, during active periods, empirical chorus wave models that are reliant on the cold plasma dispersion relation will underestimate chorus wave intensities to a significant degree, thus causing questionable calculation of wave‐particle resonance effects on MeV electrons. 第 258 条,共 286 条 Detection of Faint Asteroids Based on Image Shifting and Stacking Method Wang Bin; Zhao Haibin; Li Bin Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 5 页 : 49-1-49-13 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:5<49:JYTXWY>2.0.TX;2-R In order to improve the ability to find faint small solar system bodies, a method of shifting and stacking images which improves the detection efficiency of faint moving objects is applied to process the sequential optical images. This method determines the existence of moving objects by using False Position Method to estimate the apparent velocities of moving objects, then determines iteratively accurate position of moving objects based on SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and elongation. Using the sequential images of the China Near Earth Object Survey Telescope (CNEOST), we carry out a trial experiment and succeed in detecting asteroids fainter than 21 magnitude which are invisible on a single image. At last the feasibility of this method is proved. 第 259 条,共 286 条 Analysis for Cellinoid shape model in inverse process from lightcurves Lu, XP (Lu, Xiao-Ping); Ip, WH (Ip, Wing-Huen); Huang, XJ (Huang, Xiang-Jie); Zhao, HB (Zhao, Hai-Bin) PLANETARY AND SPACE SCIENCE 卷: 135 页: 74-85 Based on the special shape first introduced by Alberto Cellino, which consists of eight ellipsoidal octants with the constraint that adjacent octants must have two identical semi-axes, an efficient algorithm to derive the physical parameters, such as the rotational period, pole orientation, and overall shape from either lightcurves or sparse photometric data of asteroids, is developed by Lu et al. and named as 'Cellinoid' shape model. For thoroughly investigating the relationship between the morphology of the synthetic lightcurves generated by the Cellinoid shape and its six semi-axes as well as rotational period and pole, the numerical tests are implemented to compare the synthetic lightcurves generated by three Cellinoid models with different parameters in this article. Furthermore, from the synthetic lightcurves generated by two convex shape models of (6) Hebe and (4179) Toutatis, the inverse process based on Cellinoid shape model is applied to search the best-fit parameters. Especially, for better simulating the real observations, the synthetic lightcurves are generated under the orbit limit of the two asteroids. By comparing the results derived from synthetic lightcurves observed in one apparition and multiple apparitions, the performance of Cellinoid shape model is confirmed and the suggestions for observations are presented. Finally, the whole process is also applied to real observed lightcurves of (433) Eros and the derived results are consistent with the known results. 第 260 条,共 286 条 110 Annual Research Report’2015 Scattering Law Analysis Based on Hapke Lommel-Seeliger Models for Asteroidal Taxonomy and Huang, XJ (Huang, Xiang-Jie); Lu, XP (Lu, Xiao-Ping); Li, JY (Li, Jian-Yang); Mei, B (Mei, Bao); Hsia, CH (Hsia, Chih-Hao); Zhao, HB (Zhao, Hai-Bin) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 10 文献号: 106 In deriving the physical properties of asteroids from their photometric data, the scattering law plays an important role, although the shape variations of asteroids result in the main variations in lightcurves. By following the physical behaviors of light reflections, Hapke et al. deduced complex functions to represent the scattering process, however, it is very hard to accurately simulate the surface scattering law in reality. For simplicity, other numerical scattering models are presented for efficiently calculating the physical properties of asteroids, such as the Lommel-Seeliger (LS) model. In this article, these two models are compared numerically. It is found that in some numerical applications the LS model in simple form with four parameters can be exploited to replace the Hapke model in complex form with five parameters. Furthermore, the generated synthetic lightcurves by the Cellinoid shape model also show that the LS model can perform as well as the Hapke model in the inversion process. Finally, by applying the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique to the parameters of the LS model, we present an efficient method to classify C and S type asteroids, instead of the conventional method using the parameters of the Hapke model. 4-05 Laboratory for Planetary Science and Deep Space Exploration 第 261 条,共 286 条 Drilling, sampling, and sample-handling system for China's asteroid exploration mission Zhang, T (Zhang, Tao); Zhang, WM (Zhang, Wenming); Wang, K (Wang, Kang); Gao, S (Gao, Sheng); Hou, L (Hou, Liang); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui); Ding, XL (Ding, Xilun) ACTA ASTRONAUTICA 卷: 137 页: 192-204 Asteroid exploration has a significant importance in promoting our understanding of the solar system and the origin of life on Earth. A unique opportunity to study near-Earth asteroid 99942 Apophis will occur in 2029 because it will be at its perigee. In the current work, a drilling, sampling, and sample-handling system (DSSHS) is proposed to penetrate the asteroid regolith, collect regolith samples at different depths, and distribute the samples to different scientific instruments for in situ analysis. In this system, a rotary-drilling method is employed for the penetration, and an inner sampling tube is utilized to collect and discharge the regolith samples. The sampling tube can deliver samples up to a maximum volume of 84 mm(3) at a maximum penetration depth of 300 mm to 17 different ovens. To activate the release of volatile substances, the samples will be heated up to a temperature of 600 degrees C by the ovens, and these substances will be analyzed by scientific instruments such as a mass spectrometer, an isotopic analyzer, and micro -cameras, among other instruments. The DSSHS is capable of penetrating rocks with a hardness value of six, and it can be used for China's asteroid exploration mission in the foreseeable future. 第 262 条,共 286 条 Surface thermophysical properties on the potentially hazardous asteroid (99942) Apophis Yu, LL (Yu, Liang-Liang); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui); Ip, WH (Ip, Wing-Huen) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 7 文献号: 70 We investigate the surface thermophysical properties (thermal emissivity, thermal inertia, roughness fraction and geometric albedo) of asteroid (99942) Apophis, using the currently available mid-infrared observations from CanariCain on Gran Telescopio CANARIAS and far-infrared data from PACS on Herschel, based on the Advanced Thennophysical Model. We show that the thermal emissivity of Apophis should be wavelength dependent from 8.70 mu m to 160 mu m, and the maximum emissivity may appear around 20 mu m, similar to that of Vesta. Moreover, we further derive the thermal inertia, roughness fraction, geometric albedo and effective diameter of Apophis within a possible 1 sigma scale of Gamma = 100(-52)(+100) Jm(-2) S-0.5 K-1, integral(r) = 0.78 similar to 1.0, p(v) = 0.286(-0.026)(+0.030) and D-eff = 378(-25)(+19)m, and 3 sigma scale of Gamma = 100(-100)(+240) Jm(-2) s(-0.5) K-1, f(r) = 0.2 similar to 1.0, p(v) = 0.286(-0.029)(+0.039) and D-eff = 378(-29)(+27) m. The derived low thermal inertia but high roughness fraction may imply that Apophis could have regolith on its surface, where stronger space weathering but weaker regolith migration has happened in comparison with asteroid Itokawa. Our results show that small-size asteroids could also have fine regolith on the surface, and further infer that Apophis may have been delivered from the Main Belt by the Yarkovsky effect. 第 263 条,共 286 条 Long-lived Dust Asymmetries at Dead Zone Edges in Protoplanetary Disks Miranda, R (Miranda, Ryan); Li, H (Li, Hui); Li, ST (Li, Shengtai); Jin, S (Jin, Sheng) ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL 卷: 835 期: 2 文献号: 118 A number of transition disks exhibit significant azimuthal asymmetries in thermal dust emission. One possible origin for these asymmetries is dust trapping in vortices formed at the edges of dead zones. We carry out high-resolution, two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of this scenario, including the effects of dust feedback. We find that, although feedback weakens the vortices and slows down the process of dust accumulation, the dust distribution in the disk can nonetheless remain asymmetric for many thousands of orbits. We show that even after 104 orbits, or 2.5 Myr when scaled to the parameters of Oph IRS 48 (a significant fraction of its age), the dust is not dispersed into an axisymmetric ring, in contrast to the case of a vortex formed by a planet. This is because accumulation of mass at the dead zone edge constantly replenishes the vortex, preventing it from being fully destroyed. We produce synthetic dust emission images using our simulation results. We find that multiple small clumps of dust may be distributed azimuthally. These clumps, if not resolved from one another, appear as a single large feature. A defining 111 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS characteristic of a disk with a dead zone edge is that an asymmetric feature is accompanied by a ring of dust located about twice as far from the central star. 第 264 条,共 286 条 Thermophysical characteristics of the large main-belt asteroid (349) Dembowska Yu, LL (Yu, Liang Liang); Yang, B (Yang, Bin); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui); Ip, WH (Ip, Wing-Huen) MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 卷: 472 期: 2 页: 2388-2397 (349) Dembowska is a large, bright main-belt asteroid that has a fast rotation and an oblique spin axis. It might have experienced partial melting and differentiation. We constrain Dembowska's thermophysical properties, such as thermal inertia, roughness fraction, geometric albedo and effective diameter within 3s uncertainty of Gamma = 20(-7)(+12) Jm(-2) s(-0.5) K-1, fr = 0.25(-0.25)(+0.60), p(v) = 0.309(-0.038)(+0.026) and D-eff = 155.8(-6.2)(+7.5) km, by utilizing the advanced thermophysical model to analyse four sets of thermal infrared data obtained by the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS), AKARI, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and the Subaru/Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer (COMICS) at different epochs. In addition, by modelling the thermal light curve observed by WISE, we obtain the rotational phases of each data set. These rotationally resolved data do not reveal significant variations of thermal inertia and roughness across the surface, indicating that the surface of Dembowska should be covered by a dusty regolith layer with few rocks or boulders. Besides, the low thermal inertia of Dembowska shows no significant difference with other asteroids larger than 100 km, which indicates that the dynamical lives of these large asteroids are long enough to make their surfaces have sufficiently low thermal inertia. Furthermore, based on the derived surface thermophysical properties, as well as the known orbital and rotational parameters, we can simulate Dembowska's surface and subsurface temperatures throughout its orbital period. The surface temperature varies from similar to 40 to similar to 220 K, showing significant seasonal variation, whereas the subsurface temperature achieves equilibrium temperature about 120-160 K below a depth of 30-50 cm. 第 265 条,共 286 条 The Scattering Outcomes of Kepler Circumbinary Planets: Planet Mass Ratio Gong, YX (Gong, Yan-Xiang); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui) ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL 卷: 154 期: 5 文献号: 179 DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/aa8c7c Recent studies reveal that the free eccentricities of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b are much larger than their forced eccentricities, implying that scattering events may take place in their formation. The observed orbital configuration of Kepler-34b cannot be well reproduced in disk-driven migration models, whereas a two-planet scattering scenario can play a significant role of shaping the planetary configuration. These studies indicate that circumbinary planets discovered by Kepler may have experienced scattering process. In this work, we extensively investigate the scattering outcomes of circumbinary planets focusing on the effects of planet mass ratio. We find that the planetary mass ratio and the the initial relative locations of 112 planets act as two important parameters that affect the eccentricity distribution of the surviving planets. As an application of our model, we discuss the observed orbital configurations of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b. We first adopt the results from the disk-driven models as the initial conditions, then simulate the scattering process that occurs in the late evolution stage of circumbinary planets. We show that the present orbital configurations of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b can be well reproduced when considering a two unequal-mass planet ejection model. Our work further suggests that some of the currently discovered circumbinary single-planet systems may be survivors of original multiple-planet systems. The disk-driven migration and scattering events occurring in the late stage both play an irreplaceable role in sculpting the final systems. 第 266 条,共 286 条 Tidal Evolution of the Kepler Planets with Radii Less than 4 R_ Dong Yao; Ji Jianghui; Wang Su Acta Astronomica Sinica 卷 : 58 期 : 4 页 : 31-1-31-11 文 献 号 : 0001-5245(2017)58:4<31:DZLKXX>2.0.TX;2-J The planets with a radius<4 R_ observed by the Kepler mission exhibit a unique feature,and propose a challenge for current planetary formation models. The tidal effects between the planet and the host star play an essential role in reconfiguring the final orbits of the short-period planets. In this work, based on various initial Rayleigh distributions of the orbital elements, the final semi-major axis distributions of the planets with a radius<4 R_ after suffering tidal evolution are investigated. Our simulations qualitatively reveal various statistical properties:the peaks of semi- major axes increase with the mean semi-major axis, and the peak amplitude of the final semi-major axis distribution increases with the mean eccentricity for all kinds of semi-major axis distributions. For the case that the mean semi-major axis is about 0.1 au and the mean eccentricity is larger than 0.25, the amplitude peaks of the final semi-major axis are approximately consistent with observations. In addition, the roles of other parameters such as the tidal dissipation factor, stellar, and planetary mass etc, are explored in this study by performing numerical simulations, and it is found that they have little effect on the amplitudes of the peaks. Our simulation results provide some clues of planetary formation for such low-mass planets. We speculate that these low-mass planets are possible to form in a farther place of the proto-planetary disk with a moderate eccentricity via type I migration, and it is possible to form in situ too. 第 267 条,共 286 条 基于图像位移叠加方法探测暗弱小行星 王斌 赵海斌 李彬 为了提高对太阳系内暗弱小天体的探测能力,将位移叠加 方法应用于时序光学图像的处理,提高了暗弱小行星的识 别效率.通过试位法预估动目标的视运动速度,确定动目标 的存在性,进一步根据目标星象特征判据(信噪比和星象伸 长率)迭代确定动目标的精确位置.将位移叠加方法运用在 近地天体望远镜同一天区连续曝光的多幅图像的处理中, 成功探测到暗于 21 mag 的单帧不可见动目标,验证了图像 位移叠加方法探测暗弱动目标的可行性. 基金:国家自然科学基金项目(11633009、11503090、 Annual Research Report’2015 11273067、11661161013); 澳门科学技术发展基金项目 (095/2013/A3); 紫金山天文台小行星基金会和澳门科技 大学月球与行星科学实验室-中国科学院月球与深空探测 重点实验室伙伴实验室资助; 关键词:天体测量学; 仪器; 望远镜; 技术:图像处理; 方 法:观测; 方法:数据分析; DOI:10.15940/j.cnki.0001-5245.2017.05.008 分类号:P185.7 第 268 条,共 286 条 晚期月海玄武岩的矿物变化 张迅与 欧阳自远 吴昀昭 许敖敖 陈媛 蔡伟 卢瑜 月球火山活动的最后一个主要阶段大部分都发生在月球 的风暴洋和雨海地区,并产出了一套光谱独特的高铁、钛玄 武岩(Hiesinger et al.,2003;Staid et al.,2011)。早期地基望远 镜观测的研究发现,这些低反射率的中-高钛玄武岩具有较 强的 1μm 吸收特征和较弱的 2μm 吸收特征(Johnson et al.,1977;Pieters et al.,1980)。这说明晚期月海玄武 基 金 : 澳 门 科 学 技 术 发 展 基 金 项 目 (039/2013/A2 和 091/2013/A3); 会议名称:中国矿物岩石地球化学学会第九次全国会员代 表大会暨第 16 届学术年会 会议时间:2017-04-18 会议地点:中国陕西西安 分类号:P184 第 269 条,共 286 条 Using Chebyshev polynomial interpolation to improve the computational efficiency of gravity models near an irregularly-shaped asteroid Hu, SC (Hu, Shou-Cun); Ji, JH (Ji, Jiang-Hui) RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS 卷: 17 期: 12 文献号: 120 In asteroid rendezvous missions, the dynamical environment near an asteroid's surface should be made clear prior to launch of the mission. However, most asteroids have irregular shapes, which lower the efficiency of calculating their gravitational field by adopting the traditional polyhedral method. In this work, we propose a method to partition the space near an asteroid adaptively along three spherical coordinates and use Chebyshev polynomial interpolation to represent the gravitational acceleration in each cell. Moreover, we compare four different interpolation schemes to obtain the best precision with identical initial parameters. An error-adaptive octree division is combined to improve the interpolation precision near the surface. As an example, we take the typical irregularly-shaped near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis to demonstrate the advantage of this method; as a result, we show that the efficiency can be increased by hundreds to thousands of times with our method. Our results indicate that this method can be applicable to other irregularly-shaped asteroids and can greatly improve the evaluation efficiency. 第 270 条,共 286 条 Near Mean-motion Resonances in the System Observed by Kepler: Affected by Mass Accretion and Type I Migration Wang, S (Wang, Su); Ji, JH (Ji, Jianghui) ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL 卷: 154 期: 6 文献号: 236 The Kepler mission has released over 4496 planetary candidates, among which 3483 planets have been confirmed as of 2017 April. The statistical results of the planets show that there are two peaks around 1.5 and 2.0 in the distribution of orbital period ratios. The observations indicate that plenty of planet pairs could have first been captured into mean-motion resonances (MMRs) in planetary formation. Subsequently, these planets depart from exact resonant locations to be near-MMR configurations. Through type I migration, two low-mass planets have a tendency to be trapped in first-order MMRs (2:1 or 3:2 MMRs); however, two scenarios of mass accretion of planets and potential outward migration play important roles in reshaping their final orbital configurations. Under the scenario of mass accretion, the planet pairs can cross 2:1 MMRs and then enter into 3:2 MMRs, especially for the inner pairs. With such a formation scenario, the possibility that two planets are locked into 3:2 MMRs can increase if they are formed in a flat disk. Moreover, the outward migration can make planets have a high likelihood to be trapped into 3:2 MMRs. We perform additional runs to investigate the mass relationship for those planets in three-planet systems, and we show that two peaks near 1.5 and 2.0 for the period ratios of two planets can be easily reproduced through our formation scenario. We further show that the systems in chain resonances (e.g., 4:2:1, 3:2:1, 6:3:2, and 9:6:4 MMRs), have been observed in our simulations. This mechanism can be applicable to understand the formation of systems of Kepler-48, Kepler-53, Kepler-100, Kepler-192, Kepler-297, Kepler-399, and Kepler-450. 第 271 条,共 286 条 Near Mean-motion Resonances in the System Affected by Mass Accretion and Type I MigrationObserved by Kepler: S Wang , J Ji Astronomical Journal The Kepler mission has released over 4496 planetary candidates, among which 3483 planets have been confirmed as of April 2017.

Visible and near-infrared spectra of asteroids are known to be susceptible to nanophase irons produced by space weathering processes, thus making mineral identifications difficult. Mid-infrared spectroscopy may 113 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS retain more mineral features owing to its lattice vibrational nature. Aims. We investigate the structure and reflectance spectral feature changes of olivine grains before and after simulated space weathering. Methods. We irradiate olivine grains by using pulsed laser to simulate varying degrees of micrometeorite bombardments. Reflectance measurements from 0.5 to 25 mu m and radiative transfer calculations were carried out in order to compare them with each other. Results. Both the experimental simulations and modeling results indicate that the mid-infrared spectral features of olivine grains can survive the intense irradiations. Although the Christansen Feature is slightly shifted to longer wavelength, major vibrational bands remain essentially unchanged, because the lattice structure is quite immune to even the strongest irradiations, as revealed by both the X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. Conclusions. Mid-infrared spectroscopy is much more immune to productions of nanophase irons and amorphous materials and thus may be used more reliably in remote detections of minerals on asteroid surfaces. 第 273 条,共 286 条 Late Oligocene crustal anatexis and melt/fluid migration in the Ailao Shan tectonic belt: Evidences from zircon U-Pb ages and trace element compositions Wang, DB (Wang DongBing); Tang, Y (Tang Yuan); Luo, L (Luo Liang); Liao, SY (Liao ShiYong); Yin, FG (Yin FuGuang); Wang, BD (Wang BaoDi) ACTA PETROLOGICA SINICA 卷: 33 期: 7 页: 2037-2053 The Ailao Shan tectonic belt is an important tectonic boundary in southeast of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and consists mainly of high-grade metamorphic rocks previously thought to be Paleoproterozoic basement rocks. In-situ LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age and trace element of zircons were determined for the Ailao Shan high-grade metamorphic rocks. Zircon U-Pb geochronological data indicate that the high-grade metamorphic rocks have various parent rocks with different intrusive/depositional ages of 728 +/- 8Ma, 727 +/- 3Ma and 231 +/- 4Ma and similar metamorphic ages of 27. 8 similar to 23. 7Ma. Our new results demonstrate that the high-grade metamorphic rocks from the Ailao Shan belt zone are a mixture of metamorphic both igneous and sedimentary rocks of different times, instead of solely Paleoproterozoic basement rocks. Migmatization and metamorphic crystallization of these rocks took place at 27. 8 similar to 23. 7Ma, indicating a significant period of crustal anatexis in the Ailao Shan tectonic belt. The syntectonic felsic dykes hosted by gneiss were derived from a mixture of locally-derived and allochthonous melts. The migmatized rocks from the Ailao Shan deformation zone were most probably the results of decompression melting following peak metamorphism. The crustal anatexis and left-lateral shearing were two synchronous metamorphic patterns resulted from a shared geological event. They interact and influence each other during exhumation of the Ailao Shan metamorphic zone in Late Oligocene. 第 274 条,共 286 条 114 New understanding on Ximeng Group in Three River area, western Yunnan: Evidence from structural characterization and zircon U-Pb dating Tang, Y (Tang Yuan); Wang, DB (Wang DongBing); Liao, SY (Liao ShiYong); Yin, FG (Yin FuGuang) ACTA PETROLOGICA SINICA 卷: 33 期: 7 页: 2054-2072 Located in the eastern margin of Baoshan-Shan Thai block, the Ximeng Group was long regarded as the only Precambrian metamorphic basement rocks exposed in China of this block. Without scientific and reliable data of geochronology and paleontology, the age of the metamorphic rocks is still controversial. Based on detailed macro- and micro-structural observations, the metamorphic rocks of Ximeng Group which shows domelike uplift can be divided into granitic mylonites and low grade metamorphic rocks. The former are distributed in core of the uplift and have experienced intensively ductile deformation. The latter are distributed in the rim and have the similar features of Pake Formation and Wangya-Yungou Formation. According to EBSD fabric analysis of quartz in the deformed rocks of Ximeng Group, it can reveal that the rocks closed to the core have experienced an early stage of deformation at intermediate temperatures (550 similar to 650 degrees C, corresponding to amphibolite facies) and a late deformation at low temperature (400 similar to 550 degrees C, greenschist facies), while the rocks near the rim of uplift have been deformed at low temperature (400 550 degrees C). In this paper, three samples of granitic mylonites were chosen for LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating, giving ages of 455 +/- 3Ma, 456 +/- 3Ma and 454 +/- 3Ma respectively. Combined with previous research results of geochronology and paleontology, it indicates that the protolith of the Ximeng metamorphic rocks may be composed of two parts. The first part is the Ordovician granite ( similar to 460Ma) and the other mainly comprises Cambrian carbonate, elastic rocks and minor basic volcanic rock. The former is highly deformed into mylonites during the ductile shearing, and the latter is transformed into phylite, schist and marble due to low grade metamorphism at low temperature (400 550 degrees C, greenschist facies). It also can be concluded that Ximeng Group should not be regarded as the Precambrian metamorphic basement rocks of Baoshan block. 第 275 条,共 286 条 The petrology and chronology of NWA 8009 impact melt breccia: Implication for early thermal and impact histories of Vesta Liao, SY (Liao, Shiyong); Hsu, WB (Hsu, Weibiao) GEOCHIMICA ET COSMOCHIMICA ACTA 卷: 204 页: 159-178 Studies of petrology, mineralogy and geochronology of eucrites are keys to reconstruct the thermal and impact history of 4 Vesta, the proposed parent body for HED meteorites. Here we report the petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of NWA 8009, a newly found eucritic impact-melt breccia, and present SIMS U-Pb ages of zircon and phosphates. NWA 8009 consists of coarse-and fine-grained lithic and mineral clasts set in fine-grained recrystallized matrix. It was derived from a protolith of monomict non-cumulate eucrite. Evidence for intense shock metamorphism observed in NWA 8009 includes mosaicism, deformed exsolution lamellae and partial melting of pyroxene, melting and incipient flow of plagioclase, planar fractures and granular textures of zircon. These shock Annual Research Report’2015 effects indicate NWA 8009 was subjected to an impact metamorphism with peak pressure of similar to 50-60 GPa and post-shock temperature of similar to 1160-1200 degrees C. NWA 8009 is among the most intensely shocked HEDs reported yet. After the impact, the sample was buried near the surface in target rocks and experienced rapid cooling (similar to 23 degrees C/h) and annealing, resulting in recrystallization of the matrix and devitrification of plagioclase and silica glasses. U-Pb isotopic system of apatite within plagioclase groundmass of lithic clasts is completely reset and constrains the timing of impact at 4143 +/- 61 Ma, providing a new robust impact age on Vesta. Combined with the presence of synchronous impact resetting events, especially those recorded by Lu-Hf, Sm-Nd, and Pb-Pb isotopic systems, we identified a period of high impacts flux at ca. 4.1-4.2 Ga on Vesta. This impact flux occurred coincident with the uptick at ca. 4.1-4.2 Ga in impact age spectra of the moon, probably reflects widespread intense bombardment throughout the inner solar system at ca. 4.1-4.2 Ga. Based on evidence from zircon chemical zoning, petrographic occurrences, as well as the distinctive Zr/Hf ratios, we suggested that zircons in NWA 8009 have had a metamorphic, instead of magmatic origin. They mainly crystallized from melts produced by partial melting of mesostasis area due to reheating event during early global thermal metamorphism, rather than by Zr release from Zr-rich minerals. The U-Pb isotopic system in zircons was not disturbed by subsequent impacts, the weighted-mean Pb-207/Pb-206 age of 4560 +/- 8 Ma represents the timing of zircon growth during thermal metamorphism. Zircons from NWA 8009 and other eucrites may share a common origin during metamorphic growth events, and constraining the global thermal metamorphism on Vesta at ca. 4.55 Ga. The main heat sources responsible for global metamorphism in basaltic crust of Vesta might be heating from the hot interior, especially heat flow related to magmatism, rather than impact.

In this contribution, we investigated five potassic felsic intrusions exposed in the western Yangtze Block adjacent to the ASRR shear zone, including the Xiaoqiaotou, Jianchuan, Yuzhaokuai, Laojunshan and South Taohuacun intrusions. New LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb results in combination with previous data indicate that these felsic rocks have identical crystallization ages of similar to 36-35 Ma. They are characterized by high Ba (mostly >1500 ppm) and Sr (mostly >1000 ppm) abundances, with high K2O contents and K2O/Na2O ratios. They exhibit similar Sr-Nd isotopic components as the coeval shoshonitic mafic rocks exposed in the studied area. Elemental and isotopic data suggest that the five intrusions were likely derived from fractional crystallization of shoshonitic mafic magmas originating from an enriched lithospheric mantle. On the basis of previously published data and results in this paper, we considered that the lithospheric mantle underneath the western Yangtze might have undergone enrichment events twice at least, including the Neoproterozoic oceanic subduction and the Neo-Tethyan oceanic subduction.

The results of dating indicate that the intermediate to flesic intrusions and dykes in Cangyuan emplaced at 40-41 Ma,synchronous with those in Lancang region. The Early Cenozoic igneous rock in Cangyuan and Lancang exhibits high Sr /Y,La /Yb,Gd /Yb ratios and significant REE fractionation,with no significant Sr,Eu negative anomaly,similar to C-type adakite. They have enriched initial ~(86)Sr / ~(87)Sr ratios of 0.7065-0.7103,epsilon_(Nd) (t) values of -3.6 to -5.6. We infer that the Cangyuan Cenozoic magmatism resulted from partial melting of garnet amphibolite in lower crust at a depth of 30 ~ 40 km. In addition,we report for the first time that there has ~ 41 Ma A-type granite in Cangyuan region in this study. The early Cenozoic igneous rock in both Cangyuan and Lancang have close spatial,temporal and possibly has genetic linkage with the eastward extrusion of Tibet. 第 278 条,共 286 条 PETROLOGY, MINERALOGY AND IN SITU U-PB DATING OF NORTHWEST AFRICA 11042.

It has been suggested that small craters on some planetary bodies are dominated by background secondary craters based partly on the steepened slope of crater size-frequency distribution (CSFD) toward small diameters, such as the less than similar to 1 km diameter crater population on the lunar mare. Here we show that topography degradation enlarges craters and increases CSFD slopes with time. When topography degradation is taken into account, for various-aged crater populations, the observed steep CSFD at small diameters is uniformly consistent with an originally shallower CSFD, whose slope is undifferentiated from the CSFD slope estimated from near-Earth objects and terrestrial bolides. The results show that the effect of topography degradation on CSFD is important in dating planetary surfaces, and the steepening of CSFD slopes is not necessarily caused by secondary cratering, but rather a natural consequence of topography degradation. 4-07 Planetary Spectroscopy Group 第 285 条,共 286 条 Submicroscopic metallic iron in lunar soils estimated from the in situ spectra of the Chang'E-3 mission Wang, ZC (Wang, Zhenchao); Wu, YZ (Wu, Yunzhao); Blewett, DT (Blewett, David T.); Cloutis, EA (Cloutis, Edward A.); Zheng, YC (Zheng, Yongchun); Chen, J (Chen, Jun) GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS 卷: 44 期: 8 页: 3485-3492 Submicroscopic metallic iron (SMFe) created by space weathering has strong effects on the optical properties of the lunar surface. Spectra measured in situ by the visible-near-infrared spectrometer (VNIS) on board the Chang'E-3 Yutu rover were used to investigate optical maturity differences at the CE-3 landing site caused by lander exhaust. SMFe abundances were estimated using Hapke's radiative transfer model. Analysis of the spectrum for a minimally disturbed soil indicates that it contains 0.368 wt% SMFe, corresponding to an I-s/FeO maturity index of similar to 53 and indicating that the landing site is submature. The soil at a location that was more disturbed contains 0.217 wt% SMFe, suggesting that the material removed by the rocket blast is more weathered than the regolith that remained behind. We conclude that maturity differences related to removal of the finest, highly mature 117 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 紫台历年发表论文情况 讳文总数 第一单位、第一作考 第一作考SCI/EI 350 305 286 300 篇 247 250 200 150 100 237 222 193 171 192 140 111 61 116 155 123 80 82 80 2012年 2013年 2014年 162 132 124 2016年 2017年 108 50 0 2011年 年 度 学术报告 118 2015年 Annual Research Report’2015 专利 序 号 1 2 3 发明人 状 发明名称 201711282708 一种南枀天文俅障平台収电机 収明 王慧慧、柳磊、朱镇熹、蒙 申 0 组带时间陉制癿控制斱法 与利 光来 请 201711282709 一种南枀天文俅障平台収电机 収明 王慧慧、管旭、朱镇熹、柳 申 5 组分布控制斱法 与利 磊、蒙光来 请 201711152874 一种新型癿太赫兹碳纤维复合 収明 钱元、郝旭峰、娄铮、左营 申 9 材料面板结极 与利 喜、杨戟 请 収明 钱元、张守玉、陇同海、赵 申 忠博、娄铮、左营喜、杨戟 请 201711152875 4 专利 申请号/专利号 类型 态 3 一种新型癿俅温结极 与利 201711082011 一种数字 FFT 频谱仦系统及运 収明 9 行斱法 与利 201710846796 热电子混频器和太赫兹量子级 収明 6 联激先器癿集成装置及斱法 与利 201710560132 一种真空阀进秳控制系统及斱 収明 3 法 与利 201710405813 利用蒸镀法在先阷掩膜衬底上 収明 2 制备超寻钛薄膜癿斱法 与利 一种基二超寻探测器癿太赫兹 収明 波段大气収射谱线测量装置 与利 李升 201810261153 一种无人值守柴油収电机组进 収明 10 .X 秳定量更换润滑油系统 与利 柳磊、王慧慧、朱镇熹、 申 请 蒙克来 一种基于数字摄影测量技 术的高精度转动测量方法 収明 申 11 20171138070 5 201710307681 FiDrizzle 多次采样图像重 収明 X 廸技术 与利 201711321275 铺装简单曲面多次曝先图 収明 5 像重廸技术 与利 5 6 7 8 9 12 13 与利 申 枃镇辉、段文英、姚骑均 请 申 高暠、缪巍、叱生才 请 申 姚骑均、周超 请 申 王争、张文、缪巍、叱生才 请 申 娄铮 请 请 申 王蕾,李国亮 请 申 王蕾,李国亮 请 基二分立小波发换癿快速 14 201711331038 迭代(多次曝先)图像重廸技 収明 7 术 与利 王蕾,李国亮 请 201621289176 滤先片磁定位更换装置 实用 姚大志、杨戟、郑宪忠、刘 授 新型 伟、娄铮、华园园 权 实用 黄永益 授 1 4 2 201621284235 一种中子探测装置 申 119 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 9 201621285447 3 4 5 6 7 8 一种高压供电装置 9 实用 权 黄永益 授 新型 权 201610319948 一种 KID 探测器阵列癿多功能 収明 枃镇辉、杨瑾屏、叱生才、 授 2 读出电路系统 与利 李升 权 201610132088 太赫兹探测器及读出电路系统 収明 枃镇辉、叱生才、李终亮 授 1 频响测量斱法 与利 权 201610132090 太赫兹外差阵列接收机偏置复 収明 张文、张坤、叱生才、缪巍、 授 9 用装置 与利 姚骑均 权 201510599033 低温面形摄影测量斱法 収明 钱元、娄铮、刘昌儒、范生 授 与利 宏、王海仁、左营喜、杨戟 权 7 201510294511 一种星轲空间晶体阵列探测器 収明 常迚、胡一鸣、陇灯意、郭 授 3 癿俅护结极 与利 廸华、蔡明生、宥一忠 权 201410780651 一种空间探测仦器加热装置 収明 胡一鸣、张家宇、崔兴柱、 授 与利 常迚 収明 娄铮、胡洁、周康敏、林 授 镇辉、姚骑均、史生才 权 9 7 10 20141011448 57 120 新型 单接收机太赫兹矢量场形 测量装置及其测量方法 与利 权 Annual Research Report’2015 2017 年度发表科研论文、专著、专利一览表 第 第 一 一 SCI 单 单 讳 位 位 文 SCI EI 讳 讳 文 文 第 一 团组不孥科片 讳文 单 总数 位 讳 文 国 与 与 软 际 著 利 利 件 合 作 申 授 登 作 请 权 记 宇宙伽马暴、中子星及相关物理研究团 组 4 3 4 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 太阳高能及相关物理过秳研究团组 13 8 13 8 0 9 0 0 0 0 太阳活劢癿多波段观测研究团组 25 15 24 14 1 6 0 0 0 0 宇宙高能粒子癿加速和轵射研究团组 5 5 4 4 0 2 1 0 0 0 暗物质间接探测癿相关物理研究团组 20 15 16 12 0 3 0 0 0 0 暗物质和空间天文实验室 18 6 17 5 0 7 0 0 4 0 紫外及 X 射线天文研究 2 2 2 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 合计 87 54 80 48 1 30 1 0 4 0 恒星结极、演化和脉劢研究团组 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 南枀天文中徉 15 4 15 4 0 12 0 2 0 0 星系宇宙孥和暗能量研究团组 15 11 12 8 0 7 0 3 0 0 星系中癿恒星形成研究团组 13 3 13 3 0 10 0 0 0 0 分子亍不恒星形成研究团组 12 6 12 6 0 10 0 0 0 0 星系形成不大规场巡天研究团组 8 1 8 1 0 6 0 0 0 0 高能时域天文研究团组 17 10 16 10 0 11 0 0 0 0 银河系气体分布不性质研究团组 6 4 6 4 0 3 0 0 0 0 毫米波和云毫米波技术实验室 11 7 8 4 1 4 0 3 3 4 天文望进镜技术实验室 6 3 5 2 0 2 0 6 2 2 徇令哈毫米波观测基地 7 5 5 3 0 3 0 0 0 3 56 101 45 1 68 0 14 5 9 暗物质和空间天文研究部 南极天文和射电天文研究部 合计 ## 121 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 空间目标不碎片观测研究中徉 20 18 10 8 2 1 1 0 1 3 卣星精密定轨及应用研究团组 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 合计 21 19 10 8 2 1 0 0 1 3 近地天体探测和太阳系天体研究团组 8 0 8 0 0 7 0 0 0 0 历算和天文参耂系研究团组 10 10 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 太阳和太阳系等离子体研究团组 11 5 9 5 0 2 0 0 0 0 近地天体望进镜团组 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 行星科孥不深空探测实验室 10 5 7 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 天体化孥和行星科孥实验室 17 8 10 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 盱眙天文观测站 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 行星先谱孥研究团组 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59 29 45 22 0 13 0 0 0 0 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 应用天体力学和空间目标与碎片研究部 行星科学和深空探测研究部 其他 其他 合计 合计 合计 286 122 163 234 122 4 110 2 14 10 12 Annual Research Report’2014 紫台历年主要科研项目统计 400 350 300 250 项 目 数 200 343 150 100 50 240 259 2012 2013 260 277 199 170 137 0 2010 2011 2014 2015 2016 2017 年 度 2017 年度在研科研项目 项目类型 在研 项目数 占比 当年项目 到账经费/万 国家任务 中科院任务 地方任务 横向委托 研究生自选 其他 总和 171 98 26 29 0 2 326 52% 30% 8% 9% 0% 1% 100% 10344 3289 184 617 0 5 14439 123 Purple Mountain Observatory CAS 学术报告 序 号 日期 报告人 00 1 2017.1.3 黄狮勇 00 2 2017.1.1 3 Seog-Tae Han 00 3 2017.1.1 2 00 4 职称 题目 武汉大学 研究员 地球磁鞘湍流的卫星观测研究:从 MHD 尺度到电子尺度 韩国天文与空间学院 研究员 A Millimeter-Wave Quasi-optical Circuitfor Compact Triple Bands Receiving System. 王铁砚 北京航天航空大学 博士 Turbulent dissipation and structure in the space plasma flows 2017.2.1 5 王为豪 台湾中研院 副研究员 Mapping the Dust Obscured Cosmic Star Formation 00 5 2017.3.1 4 侯贤 云南天文台 副研究员 Observations of M31 and M33 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope: a galactic center excess in Andromeda?
