摆镜图像稳定控制系统在NVST中的应用研究

由于1 m太阳望远镜采用圆顶移开并远离望远镜的敞开式观测模式,使得望远镜跟踪系统受风的影响较大,表现为观测时图像随风出现较大幅度的低频抖动。为解决这一问题,首先根据望远镜现有的光学系统和风载影响下焦面图像抖动的特点,在氧化钛高分辨率成像通道中设计了基于二维摆镜的图像稳定系统。然后根据二维摆镜系统的实测特性,建立系统的传递函数,设计控制器。深入的数值模拟分析和实验表明,在五到六级风作用的情况下,摆镜图像稳定系统工作在25 Hz就能将1 m太阳望远镜焦面图像抖动的均方根值控制在0.5″以内,表明二维摆镜的图像稳定系统可以稳定望远镜由随机风载引起的图像抖动。     

NVST的长期跟踪误差分析及改正

由于1 m太阳望远镜主体、光电导行及终端仪器消旋平台等的结构特点,即使光电导行系统闭环后,望远镜长时间跟踪精度仍然较低。为了解决这一问题,首先根据望远镜的结构特点分析了跟踪误差随时间变化的原因,然后通过理论和实测分析了误差的变化特点,研究了如何通过相关算法检测望远镜折轴焦点F_3焦面的高分辨率成像观测系统中的图像移动量,并平滑高频分量,分离出低频分量以反馈给望远镜定位跟踪系统,进一步提高望远镜的长时间跟踪精度。最后进行了高分辨率成像观测系统中TiO通道闭环跟踪实验,实验表明,在4小时的闭环跟踪时间内,跟踪误差的均方根值为0.52″,表明通过折轴焦点F_3成像观测系统中的图像移动量对望远镜实行闭环跟踪能够提高望远镜的长时间跟踪精度。

Dynamical History of the Earth–Moon System

Differential equations describing the tidal evolution of the earth's rotation and of the lunar orbital motion are presented in a simple close form. The equations differ in form for orbits fixed to the terrestrial equator and for orbits with the nodes precessing along the ecliptic due to solar perturbations. Analytical considerations show that if the contemporary lunar orbit were equatorial the evolution would develop from an unstable geosynchronous orbit of the period about 4.42 h (in the past) to a stable geosynchronous orbit of the period about 44.8 days (in the future). It is also demonstrated that at the contemporary epoch the orbital plane of the fictitious equatorial moon would be unstable in the Liapunov's sense, being asymptotically stable at early stages of the evolution. Evolution of the currently near-ecliptical lunar orbit and of the terrestrial rotation is traced backward in time by numerical integration of the evolutional equations. It is confirmed that about 1.8 billion years ago a critical phase of the evolution took place when the equatorial inclination of the moon reached small values and the moon was in a near vicinity of the earth. Before the critical epoch t _cr two types of the evolution are possible, which at present cannot be unambiguously distinguished with the help of the purely dynamical considerations. In the scenario that seems to be the most realistic from the physical point of view, the evolution also has started from a geosynchronous equatorial lunar orbit of the period 4.19 h. At t < t _cr the lunar orbit has been fixed to the precessing terrestrial equator by strong perturbations from the earth's flattening and by tidal effects; at the critical epoch the solar perturbations begin to dominate and transfer the moon to its contemporary near-ecliptical orbit which evolves now to the stable geosynchronous state. Probably this scenario is in favour of the Darwin's hypothesis about originating the moon by its separation from the earth. Too much short time scale of the evolution in this model might be enlarged if the dissipative Q factor had somewhat larger values in the past than in the present epoch. Values of the length of day and the length of month, estimated from paleontological data, are confronted with the results of the developed model.     

Enrichment in volatiles in the giant planets of the Solar System

We propose an interpretation of the enrichments in volatiles observed in the four giant planets with respect to the solar abundance. It is based on the assumption that volatiles were trapped in the form of solid clathrate hydrates and incorporated in planetesimals embedded in the feeding zones of each of the four giant planets. The mass of trapped volatiles is then held constant with time. The mass of hydrogen and of not trapped gaseous species continuously decreased with time until the formation of the planet was completed, resulting in an increase in the ratio of the mass of trapped volatiles to the mass of hydrogen (Gautier et al., Astrophys. J. 550 (2001) L227). The efficiency of the clathration depends upon the amount of ice available in the early feeding zone. The quasi-uniform enrichment in Ar, Kr, Xe, C, N, and S observed in Jupiter is reproduced because all volatiles were trapped. The non-uniform enrichment observed in C, N and S in Saturn is due to the fact that CH₄, NH₃, and H₂S were trapped but not CO and N₂. The non-uniform enrichment in C, N and S in Uranus and Neptune results from the trapping of CH₄, CO, NH₃ and H₂S, while N₂ was not trapped. Our scenario permits us to interpret the strongly oversolar sulfur abundance inferred by various modelers to be present in Saturn, Uranus and Neptune for reproducing the microwave spectra of the three planets. Abundances of Ar, Kr and Xe in these three are also predicted. Only Xe is expected to be substantially oversolar. The large enrichment in oxygen in Neptune with respect to the solar abundance, calculated by Lodders and Fegley (Icarus 112 (1994) 368) from the detection of CO in the upper troposphere of the planet, is consistent with the trapping of volatiles by clathration. The upper limit of CO in Uranus does not exclude that this process also occurred in Uranus.     

Non-integrability of a Weakly Integrable Hamiltonian System

The geometric approach to mechanics based on the Jacobi metric allows to easily construct natural mechanical systems which are integrable (actually separable) at a fixed value of the energy. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the dynamics of a simple prototype system outside the zero-energy hypersurface. We find that the general situation is that in which integrability is not preserved at arbitrary values of the energy. The structure of the Hamiltonian in the separating coordinates at zero energy allows a perturbation treatment of this system at energies slightly different from zero, by which we obtain an analytical proof of non-integrability.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

What do the orbital motions of the outer planets of the Solar System tell us about the Pioneer anomaly?

In this paper, we investigate the effects that an anomalous acceleration as that experienced by the Pioneer spacecraft after they passed the 20 AU threshold would induce on the orbital motions of the Solar System planets placed at heliocentric distances of 20 AU or larger as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It turns out that such an acceleration, with a magnitude of 8.74 × 10⁻¹⁰ m s⁻², would affect their orbits with secular and short-period signals large enough to be detected according to the latest published results by E.V. Pitjeva, even by considering errors up to 30 times larger than those released. The absence of such anomalous signatures in the latest data rules out the possibility that in the region 20–40 AU of the Solar System an anomalous force field inducing a constant and radial acceleration with those characteristics affects the motion of the major planets.     

Reconstruction of A Non-Stationary Potential of Gravitating System on Given Evolving Orbits

We study the problem of the reconstruction of a non-stationary space symmetrical regular planar potential of the gravitating system on a family of evolving types of orbits being used in the dynamics of stationary stellar systems. An application of such an inverse problem to the dynamical evolution of stellar systems with variable masses is given. The general form of the evolving orbit which we use when writing out the differential equations for non-stationary potential may also be interpreted as an osculating orbit of the perturbed Keplerian motion. In this case we are making an additional transformation of the basic equation of the problem and demonstrating an appropriate example of the construction of a non-stationary potential of a gravitating system. In connection with the stellar dynamical character of our inverse problem, we also give a generalized form of its basic equation in a rotating coordinate system.
