利用太阳光压的大偏心率伴飞卫星轨道控制

提出了利用太阳帆进行大偏心率伴飞卫星轨道控制的方法.伴飞卫星围绕其惯量主轴做角速度恒定的自转,其惯量主轴在惯性系内指向保持不变.对伴飞卫星的控制分为轨道面的控制和轨道面内控制两部分.在控制过程中,优先考虑轨道面内的控制,在轨道面内控制不能进行(或者因为几何原因不能进行轨道面内控制)时,进行轨道面的控制.通过滑膜控制方法(Sliding Mode Control)计算轨道面内控制需要的控制力的方向和大小.得到需求的控制力要求后,推算出在控制过程中太阳帆相对于伴飞卫星主体的角度解析表达式.通过控制太阳帆的方向得到所需的不同的控制力.整个控制过程只针对伴飞卫星,主星处于自然飞行状态.最后对于这种控制方法进行数值验证.在无摄运动状态下通过控制系统进行伴飞轨道的轨道调整和误差消除,在考虑4阶非球形引力和第三体引力摄动情况下进行伴飞轨道的轨道维持.数值结果表明通过这种控制方法伴飞轨道能够保持轨道误差小于5 m.     

天王星卫星CCD（SRT）位置测量的数字图象处理

天然卫星的位置测量在天体测量和天体力学中都有重要意义。国外有人对天王星卫星位置测量应用新的图象处理方法得到了高精度的卫星观测资料。利用云南天文台１米望远镜上获得的两颗卫星的ＳＲＴ的ＣＣＤ观测资料进行了新老图象处理方法的比较研究。当用两颗卫星直接作定标测量ＣＣＤ的比例尺和指向时表明：主星晕的处理对卫星位置的测量非常重要。去晕处理后,测得的比例尺和指向的弥散将大为减少。     

Cassini图像中受散射光影响的7颗土星近环内卫星的天体测量

卡西尼号探测器携带了光学成像科学子系统(ISS: Imaging Science Subsystem), 在2004--2017年间拍摄了一些土星内卫星的图像. 部分图像中土星内卫星非常靠近土星环, 观测对象受土星环散射光影响导致测量精度差, 甚至无法测量. 由此提出一种适用于这类图像的背景消除算法, 可对受土星光环散射光影响的土星内卫星进行测量. 归算了7颗近环内卫星(土卫十(Janus)、土卫十一(Epimetheus)、土卫十五(Atlas)、土卫十六(Prometheus)、土卫十七(Pandora)、土卫三十二(Methone)和土卫四十九(Anthe))的70张ISS图像, 并与不消除散射光的方法进行了比较. 结果显示, 该方法至少可以提高43%的精度. 和喷气推进实验室的土星卫星历表\lk SAT415相比, 测量得到的赤经和赤纬方向的残差均值分别为0.72km和2.26km, 标准差分别为10.99km和11.36km.

图像移位堆叠方法用于暗天然卫星的天体测量

暗弱天然卫星与主带小行星相比,具有亮度低、速度变化快的特点.在观测这类天体时,不能简单地延长曝光时间来提高其信噪比.尝试观测多幅短曝光的CCD (chargecoupled device)图像,采用移位堆叠(shift-and-add)方法,希望提高目标成像的信噪比,获得暗弱天然卫星的精确测量结果.使用2018年4月9—12日夜间,中国科学院云南天文台1 m望远镜(1 m望远镜)拍摄的木星5颗暗卫星的229幅CCD图像,实施了移位堆叠试验.为了验证结果的正确性,与相近日期中国科学院云南天文台2.4 m望远镜(2.4 m望远镜)观测的相同木卫图像的测量结果进行了比较和分析.位置归算采用了JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory)历表.结果表明,对CCD图像使用移位堆叠方法,通过叠加约10幅曝光时间100 s的图像, 1 m望远镜能观测暗至19等星的不规则天然卫星,而且测量的准确度与2.4 m望远镜的测量结果有良好的一致性.     

双中子星质量分布的统计研究

通过对12对双中子星(DNS)系统进行质量分布统计,得到其质量加权平均值为(1.339±0.042)M_⊙,其中主星和伴星的质量加权平均值分别为(1.439±0.036)M_⊙和(1.239±0.020)M_⊙.主星平均质量比伴星平均质量高,表明主星可能通过吸积获得质量,或者主星的前身星的质量更大.据此可以分析大质量恒星通过超新星爆发形成中子星的物理过程.此外还发现,DNS的总质量集中在一个比较狭小的范围(2.5–2.8 M_⊙),这说明DNS的质量形成受到伴星的影响.经过进一步的分析注意到DNS的质量比接近于1(略大于1),这可能暗示DNS系统的前身星质量比较相近.通过分析12对DNS在中子星的磁场强度-自旋周期关系图(B-P_s图)中的分布,发现DNS主星磁场强度约10~(10)Gs,自转周期约50 ms;PSR J1906+0746和PSR J0737-3039B处在正常脉冲星序列,磁场强度约10~(12)Gs,这说明两者没有吸积加速过程.     

提丢斯—波得定则的新篇章

大家知道,提丢斯—波得定则(Titius-Bode Law)是行星与太阳平均距离的经验定律,人们发现几个类木行星的一些卫星与行星的距离以及1994年发现的PSR1257+12脉冲星的三个卫星与主星的距离也符合这一定则。近年来,国内外一些学者借用了量子力学的理论和数学方法研究了行星距离形成的问题。故写了此文,以飨读者。 1766年,德国数学家提丢斯(Johann Daniel Titus,

本文首先介绍激变变星SU UMa型星的驼峰现象和最近发现的X射线新星中各类光变,再从理论上探讨这些光变与驼峰现象的关系,推测驼峰现象不仅出现于光学波段,而且可能出现于紫外和X射线波段.最后,建立一种由驼峰现象判断主星是否为黑洞的可能方法.     

激变变星

激变变星是密近双星系统,包含一颗白矮星主星和一颗晚型星伴星。晚型星伴星充满了其Roche瓣,并向主星转移物质,在主星周围形成一个吸积盘。这类双星对于我们认识吸积过程、密近双星的演化等是相当重要的。本文主要从实测角度综述激变变星研究的现状,并讨论一些尚待解决的问题。     

Argos: An optimized time-series photometer

We designed a prime focus CCD photometer, Argos, optimized for high speed time-series measurements of blue variables (Nather & Mukadam 2004) for the 2.1 m telescope at McDonald Observatory. Lack of any intervening optics between the primary mirror and the CCD makes the instrument highly efficient. We measure an improvement in sensitivity by a factor of nine over the 3-channel PMT photometers used on the same telescope and for the same exposure time. The CCD frame transfer operation triggered by GPS synchronized pulses serves as an electronic shutter for the photometer. This minimizes the dead time between exposures, but more importantly, allows a precise control of the start and duration of the exposure. We expect the uncertainty in our timing to be less than 100μs. Hubble Fellow     

The 2006/2007 photometric activity of three chromospherically active stars: V2075 Cyg,FG UMa and BM CVn

We present new multiband CCD photometric observations of three chromospherically active stars with long periods (V2075 Cyg, FG UMa and BM CVn). The observations were made at the Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Observatory in 2006 and 2007. We analyzed BVRI (Bessell) CCD observations of these three RS CVn-type SB1 binaries with the following three steps: (i) Photometric rotation periods were obtained by analyzing their light variations with a differential corrections method and a Fourier transform technique. (ii) Light variations, observed over three or more consecutive orbital cycles, were investigated by using dark (cool) spot models with the program SPOT. (iii) Surface differential rotation coefficients for the primary components of these binaries were derived using our own photometric periods together with orbital periods taken from the literature.

X‐ray energy spectra of CAL87

We present X‐ray spectral analysis of the super‐soft source CAL87 using ASCA, Chandra, XMM‐Newton observations. Early ASCA CCD spectrum reported a strong oxygen absorption edge, which is considered to originate in the an optically thick white‐dwarf atmosphere. On the other hand, contemporaneous grating observations by Chandra and XMM‐Newton indicate emission line dominated spectra, which obviously indicate the optically thin origin. Fitting all the available CCD (ASCA and XMM‐Newton) and grating spectra (XMM‐Newton and Chandra) simultaneously, we show that the CAL87 X‐ray energy spectrum is in fact composed of both an optically thick component with deep absorption edges and an optically thin component with numerous emission lines. The current result supports the standard SSS model that the primary source of X‐ray emission is nuclear burning in the white dwarf atmosphere, surrounded by a highly photoionised, optically thin corona (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The Preflight Photometric Calibration of the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope EIT

This paper presents the preflight photometric calibration of the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The EIT consists of a Ritchey–Chrétien telescope with multilayer coatings applied to four quadrants of the primary and secondary mirrors, several filters and a backside-thinned CCD detector. The quadrants of the EIT optics were used to observe the Sun in 4 wavelength bands that peak near 171, 195, 284, and 304 Å. Before the launch of SOHO, the EIT mirror reflectivities, the filter transmissivities and the CCD quantum efficiency were measured and these values are described here. The instrumental throughput in terms of an effective area is presented for each of the various mirror quadrant and filter wheel combinations. The response to a coronal plasma as a function of temperature is also determined and the expected count rates are compared to the count rates observed in a coronal hole, the quiet Sun and an active region.     

Revision of the photometric parameters of BS Cassiopeiae

Seven charge-coupled device(CCD)photometric times of light minimum of the overcontact binary BS Cas which were obtained from 2007 August to November and one CCD light curve in the R band which was observed on 2007 September 24 and October 15,are presented.It is found that the light curve of BS Cas has characteristics like a typical EW-type light variation.The light curve obtained by us is symmetric and shows total eclipses,which is very useful for determining photometric parameters with high precision.Photometric solutions were derived by using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code.It shows that BS Cas is a W-subtype overcontact binary(f = 27.5% ± 0.4%)with a mass ratio of q = 2.7188 ± 0.0040.The temperature difference between the two components is 190 K.Analysis of the O-C curve suggests that the period of AE Phe shows a long-term continuous decrease at a rate of dP/dt=-2.45 × 10-7 dyr-1.The long-time period decrease can be explained by mass transfer from the primary to the secondary.     

CCD联合平差方法及其初步实例检验

在常规照相天体测量工作中 ,对暗天体的定位是采用逐级定标星过渡的方法实现的。由于星表系统差和局部差的存在 ,最终定位结果可能包含难以把握的误差积累。在CCD小视场观测情况下时常难以找到足够数量的定标星。鉴于此 ,推导了CCD观测联合平差方法的严格矢量表达式 ,以期通过共同星的过渡 ,实现大天区统一平差。原理上此方法可实现相对于河外天体的定位 ,以削弱星表系统差和局部差对定位结果的影响。讨论了CCD联合平差方法实现中的问题 ,包括底片常数模型选择、切点位置改正、共同星的较差改正和法方程解算方法等 ,并分析了具体的处理措施。用实例初步检验了CCD联合平差方法的效果 ,表明通过对多张CCD观测的联合平差 ,可以削弱单张CCD观测参考星数目过少、单张CCD观测参考星分布不均、个别参考星存在位置偏差和局部区域参考星存在系统性位置偏差等不利因素对归算结果的影响 ,进而达到扩大视场和提高归算精度的目的     

A Performance Study of the CCD Cameras of the Joint Laboratory of Optical Astronomy

A performance study of several CCD cameras of the Chinese Joint Laboratory of Optical Astronomy (CJLOA) is presented. The main results are: 1) We propose a modified classical method to analyse the linearity of CCD cameras. This method is more sensitive and accurate as well as more intuitive, especially in measuring around the 0.1%-0.2% range of nonlinearity. 2) To illustrate the advantage of the method, the linearity performance of the CCD cameras at CJLOA has been measured and analysed. 3) For the CCD systems tested, there is no unique formula to represent the correlation over the entire CCD frame between the deviation from linearity and the pixel value, i.e., different pixel has different correction even though their pixel values are the same. 4) For the BFOSC (BAO Faint Object Spectrograph Camera) Loral CCD camera and the Tek CCD camera at the 1.56-m reflector, blooming (bleeding) happens long before saturation, and we suspect whether it could have resulted from the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) n
