太阳米波和分米波Ⅱ型、Ⅲ型射电暴及其精细结构观测研究进展

太阳米波和分米波的射电观测是对太阳爆发过程中耀斑和日冕物质抛射现象研究的重要观测手段。米波和分米波的太阳射电暴以相干等离子体辐射为主导,表现出在时域和频域的多样性和复杂性。其中Ⅱ型射电暴是激波在日冕中运动引起电磁波辐射的结果。在Ⅱ型射电暴方面,首先对米波Ⅱ型射电暴的激波起源问题和米波Ⅱ型射电暴与行星际Ⅱ型射电暴的关系问题进行了讨论;其次,结合Lin-Forbes太阳爆发理论模型对Ⅱ型射电暴的开始时间和起始频率进行讨论:最后,对Ⅱ型射电暴信号中包含的两种射电精细结构,Herringbone结构(即鱼骨结构)和与激波相关的Ⅲ型射电暴也分别进行了讨论。Ⅲ型射电暴是高能电子束在日冕中运动产生电磁波辐射的结果。在Ⅲ型射电暴方面,首先介绍了利用Ⅲ型射电暴对日冕磁场位形和等离子体密度进行研究的具体方法;其次,对利用Ⅲ型射电暴测量日冕温度的最新理论进行介绍;最后,对Ⅲ型射电暴和Ⅱ型射电暴的时间关系、Ⅲ型射电暴和粒子加速以及Ⅲ型射电暴信号中包含的射电精细结构(例如斑马纹、纤维爆发及尖峰辐射)等问题进行讨论并介绍有关的最新研究进展。     

太阳射电分米波毫秒级尖峰辐射的寿命

太阳射电毫秒级尖峰辐射的寿命随频率增高而减小,长期以来这一直是个令人困惑的问题。本文从与Ⅲ型爆发相关的空心束分布的电子流所激发的回旋同步脉泽角度出发,详细讨论了尖峰辐射的寿命与特征频率比(ξ=ω_P/ω_B)以及波增长率的关系,最后得出:在分米波的不同波段,尖峰辐射是X模的不同次谐波,且寿命随频率增高发生相关的减小。     

日冕电子加速的诊断—多频射电高时间分辨率观测结果

一个太阳耀斑约含数千个微耀斑［１］，每个微耀斑以热的，低频波和加速粒子的形式释放能量。耀斑期间大部分能量的释放是通过电子加速转移的结果，然而电子加速是在耀斑前相开始，并在整个耀斑持续期间继续保持。在耀斑发展的不同相期间伴有各种各样的射电辐射现象（及其它波段共生现象），多波段射电观测和比较可以给出有关电子加速过程和耀斑自身发展的重要信息，尤其可检测加速开始的时间和频率部位（目前仍为太阳物理的前沿）。微耀斑能量的瞬时释放可能是引起不同类型快速精细结构的原因，射电毫秒级尖峰辐射是起因于连续能量释放的证据，其辐射源位于或靠近能量释放区［２］，公认射电辐射的快速结构是日冕电子束的特征信号［３，４］，所以今后使用高时间和高频率分辨率的宽带频谱仪同时观测可详细地探测加速过程，从而对预耀斑的加热和初始能量释放，耀斑的逐步建立和演化都具有重要意义。本文介绍几个典型事件，包括射电尖峰脉冲辐射，类尖峰辐射和短时标漂移结构     

束－等离子体不稳定性直接放大电磁波及其对太阳Ⅲ型爆的解释

弱磁化相对论电子束注入等离子体时，由非共振波粒相互作用激发的束－等离子体不稳定性可以直接放大电磁波，计算结果表明：在偏离共振条件的区域，电磁波仍可在较宽的频率范围被放大，并在每个共振峰下形成平台结构。随着谐波数的增高，增长率峰值逐渐变小，峰宽也变窄。本文还分析了电磁波的增长率随背景参数ω＿（ｐｅ）／Ω＿ｅ及高能电子的入射方向和辐射方向的变化规律，在典型的日冕条件下，此类不稳定性所放大的电磁波的增长率大小、带宽、方向性、偏振及谐波等性质，可以用来解释太阳Ⅲ型射电爆发现象，本文的研究亦可用来解释其他天体等离子体辐射。     

超高分辨率太阳射电事件及其相关太阳活动的研究

从2004年10月起,国家天文台怀柔射电频谱仪增加了新的超高分辨率观测模式:在1.10～1.34 GHz频带其时间分辨率为1.25 ms,频率分辨率为4 MHz。报告了3个超高分辨率下观测到的太阳射电精细结构事件,包括射电尖峰辐射、鱼群结构和重叠的精细结构,在射电精细结构之后8～14 min,在米波段都发现射电II型爆发,3个事件的米波II型爆发(示踪着日冕激波)都有相关联的日冕物质抛射(Coronal Mass Ejection,CME)。

射电运动Ⅳ型爆发和日冕物质抛射

射电Ⅳ型运动爆发同日冕物质抛射（ＣＭＥｓ）关系极为密切。本文基于对Ⅳ型运动爆发的研究以及ＣＭＥｓ开放场的物理条件,探讨了ＣＭＥｓ形成及抛射的物理条件。由于磁通量突然喷发,能量大量释放,在ＣＭＥ闭合场中的等离子体被加速,导致高能质子和高能电子被大磁环捕获。随着磁环内的热压Ｐ和磁压Ｐｍ的升高,当β＞βＴ时磁环将炸裂,从而产生ＣＭＥｓ。抛射出的未离化的等离子体团将产生等离子体基波与谐波辐射。随着等离子体的不断离化,高能相对论电子绕开放磁场线作螺旋飞行,这时等离体辐射降到次要地位,回旋同步加速辐射上升到主导地位,这就是射电Ⅳ型运动爆发。如果离化的早,则在微波波段也能看到Ⅳ型运动爆发。这就是微波Ⅳ型爆发,也是微波Ⅳ型爆发罕见的原因。射电运动Ⅳ型爆发源就是日冕抛射的物质。

电子回旋脉泽辐射机制在太阳物理中的进展

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。     

A thermodynamic model of high temperature lava vaporization on Io

We modified the MAGMA chemical equilibrium code developed by Fegley and Cameron (1987, Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 82, 207-222) and used it to model vaporization of high temperature silicate lavas on Io. The MAGMA code computes chemical equilibria in a melt, between melt and its equilibrium vapor, and in the gas phase. The good agreement of MAGMA code results with experimental data and with other computer codes is demonstrated. The temperature-dependent pressure and composition of vapor in equilibrium with lava is calculated from 1700 to 2400 K for 109 different silicate lavas in the ONaKFeSiMgCaAlTi system. Results for five lavas (tholeiitic basalt, alkali basalt, Barberton komatiite, dunite, and a molten type B1 Ca, Al-rich inclusion) are discussed in detail. The effects of continuous fractional vaporization on chemistry of these lavas and their equilibrium vapor are presented. The predicted abundances (relative to Na) of K, Fe, Si, Al, Ca, and Ti in the vapor equilibrated with lavas at 1900 K are lower than published upper limits for Io's atmosphere (which do not include Mg). We predict evaporative loss of alkalis, Fe, and Si during volcanic eruptions. Sodium is more volatile than K, and the Na/K ratio in the gas is decreased by fractional vaporization. This process can match Io's atmospheric Na/K ratio of 10±3 reported by Brown (2001, Icarus 151, 190-195). Silicon monoxide is an abundant species in the vapor above lavas. Spectroscopic searches are recommended for SiO at IR and mm wavelengths. Reactions of metallic vapors with S- and Cl-bearing volcanic gases may form other unusual gases including MgCl₂, MgS, MgCl, FeCl₂, FeS, FeCl, and SiS.

Alkali and halogen chemistry in volcanic gases on Io

We use chemical equilibrium calculations to model the speciation of alkalis and halogens in volcanic gases emitted on Io. The calculations cover wide temperature (500-2000 K) and pressure (10⁻⁶ to 10⁺¹ bars) ranges, which overlap the nominal conditions at Pele (T=1760 K, P=0.01 bars). About 230 compounds of 11 elements (O, S, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, F, Cl, Br, I) are considered. The elemental abundances for O, S, Na, K, and Cl are based upon observations. CI chondritic elemental abundances relative to sulfur are used for the other alkalis and halogens (as yet unobserved on Io). We predict the major alkali species in Pele-like volcanic gases and the percentage distribution of each alkali are LiCl (73%), LiF (27%); NaCl (81%), Na (16%), NaF (3%); KCl (91%), K (5%), KF (4%); RbCl (93%), Rb (4%), RbF (3%); CsCl (92%), CsF (6%), Cs (2%). Likewise the major halogen species and the percentage distribution of each halogen are NaF (88%), KF (10%), LiF (2%); NaCl (89%), KCl (11%); NaBr (89%), KBr (10%), Br (1%); NaI (61%), I (30%), KI (9%). We predict the major halogen condensates and their condensation temperatures at P=0.01 bar are NaF (1115 K), LiF (970 K); NaCl (1050 K), KCl (950 K); KBr (750 K), RbBr (730 K), CsBr (645 K); and solid I₂ (200 K). We also model disequilibrium chemistry of the alkalis and halogens in the volcanic plume. Based on this work and our prior modeling for Na, K, and Cl in a volcanic plume, we predict the major loss processes for the alkali halide gases are photolysis and/or condensation onto grains. Their estimated photochemical lifetimes range from a few minutes for alkali iodides to a few hours for alkali fluorides. Condensation is apparently the only loss process for elemental iodine. On the basis of elemental abundances and photochemical lifetimes, we recommend searching for gaseous KCl, NaF, LiF, LiCl, RbF, RbCl, CsF, and CsCl around volcanic vents during eruptions. Based on abundance considerations and observations of brown dwarfs we also recommend a search of Io's extended atmosphere and the Io plasma torus for neutral and ionized Li, Cs, Rb, and F.     

Study on the Stressed Mirror Polishing with a Continuous Polishing Machine for Large Aperture Off-axis Aspheric Mirrors

A special stressed annular polishing technique is proposed to mill the off-axis aspheric sub-mirrors of a large segmented mirror with an annular polishing machine. Based on the basic principle of stressed annular polishing technique, a set of special stressing mechanisms are designed to convert milling the aspheric surfaces of sub-mirrors with different off-axis distances into milling the spherical surfaces with identical radii of curvature, so that they can be pol- ished simultaneously on a continuous polishing machine. It took about contin- uous 40 hours to polish a scaled-down mirror of the planning Chinese Future Giant Telescope (CFGT) using this technique. This mirror has the 330 mm di- ameter, 3.6 m off-axis distance, and the 21.6 m radius of curvature, and its max- imum asphericity is 16 micron. The experiment shows that this method has a high effciency, suits batch manufacturing, especially the batch manufacturing of aspheric sub-mirrors of the segmented primary mirror of an extremely large aperture telescope.     

Born–Infeld type phantom model in the ω–ω′ plane

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of Born–Infeld (B–I) phantom model in the ω–ω′ plane, which is defined by the equation of state parameter for the dark energy and its derivative with respect to N (the logarithm of the scale factor a). We find the scalar field equation of motion in ω–ω′ plane, and show mathematically the property of attractor solutions which correspond to ω _φ ∼−1, Ω _φ =1, which avoid the “Big rip” problem and meets the current observations well.      

A Comparison of Several Image Locating Algorithms in Astronomical Instruments

In astronomical observations at optical wavelengths, a fast image tracking system can be adopted to reduce the effects of the atmospheric seeing and telescopic tracking error, and therefore improve the observing efficiency. Aiming at the need of astronomical observations, totally 5 kinds of algorithms in two categories were selected to make a comparative study on their accuracies and stabilities under different noise conditions by both numerical experiment and laboratory test. The results indicate that the normalized cross-correlation method and barycenter method have not only a higher accuracy but also a better reliability against interferences, they will be applied to the high-resolution spectrograph of the Xinglong 2.16 m telescope and the scienti?c instruments of the SONG (Stellar Observations Network Group) project, respectively.
