光学反射望远镜主、副镜安装调整不良引起的象差

一架先进的设计、精心加工的光学望远镜，在工厂或组装车间检查光学质量合格后，在观测地点安装调整后必须要经过检验。因为在安装调整中，如果光学部件(如主镜和副镜)的光轴有横向偏离、倾斜，或者相互间距有偏差，都会使星象质量变坏。以我台将要进口的2．4m反射望远镜为例，讨论了在主副镜的安装调整中若产生误差，给星象质量带来的影响，从而可作为检验和验收望远镜时的参考。

对Pickering视宁度等级判定法的补充

使用望远镜目视星像评估视宁度时,常用Pickering视宁度等级(Pickering Seeing Scale)判定法,但这个等级并未仔细考虑望远镜的光瞳函数对衍射环的影响。事实上经典的Pickering视宁度等级并不非常适合目前常用的有副镜的折反射望远镜,本文通过数值模拟和解析计算验证了这个问题,并在此基础上对Pickering视宁度等级判定法做了相应的补充。     

Evidence of space weathering in regolith breccias II: Asteroidal regolith breccias

Abstract– Space weathering products, such as agglutinates and nanophase iron‐bearing rims are easily preserved through lithification in lunar regolith breccias, thus such products, if produced, should be preserved in asteroidal regolith breccias as well. A study of representative regolith breccia meteorites, Fayetteville (H4) and Kapoeta (howardite), was undertaken to search for physical evidence of space weathering on asteroids. Amorphous or npFe⁰‐bearing rims cannot be positively identified in Fayetteville, although possible glass rims were found. Extensive friction melt was discovered in the meteorite that is difficult to differentiate from weathered materials. Several melt products, including spherules and agglutinates, as well as one irradiated rim and one possible npFe⁰‐bearing rim were identified in Kapoeta. The existence of these products suggests that lunar‐like space weathering processes are, or have been, active on asteroids.     

Shock experiments in range of 10–45 GPa with small multidomain magnetite in porous targets

Abstract– Physical properties of multidomain magnetite‐bearing porous pellets shocked up to 45 GPa were measured. The results show general magnetic softening as a result of shock. However, a relative magnetic hardening trend and slight magnetic susceptibility decrease is observed with increasing pressure among shocked samples. Initially, the shock also seems to cause a slight decrease in porosity, but at higher shock pressures macroscopic porosity increases progressively in our pellets. The microscopic porosity remains almost unchanged. Since our samples have distinctly higher initial porosity compared with samples used in previous studies, our results may be representative for impacts into highly porous magnetite‐bearing sedimentary or volcanic rocks and are relevant to impacts into such target rocks on Earth and Mars.     

Observations of the near and far ultraviolet background

The diffuse ultraviolet radiation field is seen over the entire sky and is a tracer of both the hot (in the form of lines such as CIV and OVI) and cold component (in the form of interstellar dust or molecular hydrogen) of the interstellar medium. Observations over the last 40 years have been continually pushing the boundaries of the available instrumentation but are now bearing fruit in a much better definition of the radiation and an understanding of its constituents, both foreground, such as airglow or zodiacal light, and cosmic. I present a review of the current state of observations of the far and near ultraviolet background.     

Complexities in pyroxene compositions derived from absorption band centers: Examples from Apollo samples,HED meteorites,synthetic pure pyroxenes,and remote sensing data

We reexamine the relationship between pyroxene composition and near‐infrared absorption bands, integrating measurements of diverse natural and synthetic samples. We test an algorithm (PLC) involving a two‐part linear continuum removal and parabolic fits to the 1 and 2 μm bands—a computationally simple approach which can easily be automated and applied to remote sensing data. Employing a suite of synthetic pure pyroxenes, the PLC technique is shown to derive similar band centers to the modified Gaussian model. PLC analyses are extended to natural pyroxene‐bearing materials, including (1) bulk lunar basalts and pyroxene separates, (2) diverse lunar soils, and (3) HED meteorites. For natural pyroxenes, the relationship between composition and absorption band center differs from that of synthetic pyroxenes. These differences arise from complexities inherent in natural materials such as exsolution, zoning, mixing, and space weathering. For these reasons, band center measurements of natural pyroxene‐bearing materials are compositionally nonunique and could represent three distinct scenarios (1) pyroxene with a narrow compositional range, (2) complexly zoned pyroxene grains, or (3) a mixture of multiple pyroxene (or nonpyroxene) components. Therefore, a universal quantitative relationship between band centers and pyroxene composition cannot be uniquely derived for natural pyroxene‐bearing materials without additional geologic context. Nevertheless, useful relative relationships between composition and band center persist in most cases. These relationships are used to interpret M³ data from the Humboldtianum Basin. Four distinct compositional units are identified (1) Mare Humboldtianum basalts, (2) distinct outer basalts, (3) low‐Ca pyroxene‐bearing materials, and (4) feldspathic materials.     

The parameterization of solid metal‐liquid metal partitioning of siderophile elements

Abstract— Many solar system processes involve a metallic liquid, and the composition of the metallic liquid, such as the liquid's concentrations of S, P, and C, will influence the partitioning of elements during such processes. We present a method for parameterizing solid metal‐liquid metal partition coefficients for siderophile (metal‐loving) elements as a function of the metallic liquid composition. Our parameterization method is based on an older theory of Jones and Malvin (1990), which stated that the metallic liquid is composed of metal and non‐metal‐bearing domains, and the domains are the dominant influence on the partitioning behavior. By revising the means by which the metal domains are calculated, our revised parameterization method is able to match experimental partitioning data from the Fe‐Ni‐S, Fe‐Ni‐P, Fe‐Ni‐S‐P, and Fe‐Ni‐C systems. Mathematical expressions were derived for the solid metal‐liquid metal partitioning of 13 siderophile elements. Elements that are chalcophile (S‐loving), P‐loving, or C‐loving prefer the non‐metal‐bearing domains in the metallic liquid and, consequently, aren't fit by the parameterization method presented here. Possible applications for our parameterization method include modeling the crystallization of iron meteorites, planetary differentiation, and the solidification of Earth's inner core.     

Porous,S‐bearing silica in metal‐sulfide nodules and in the interchondrule clastic matrix in two EH3 chondrites

Two new occurrences of porous, S‐bearing, amorphous silica are described within metal‐sulfide nodules (MSN) and as interchondrule patches in EH3 chondrites SAH 97072 and ALH 84170. This porous amorphous material, which was first reported from sulfide‐bearing chondrules, consists of sinewy SiO₂‐rich areas containing S with minor Na or Ca as well as Fe, Mg, and Al. Some pores contain minerals including pyrite, pyrrhotite, and anhydrite. Most pores appear vacant or contain unidentified material that is unstable under analytical conditions. Niningerite, olivine, enstatite, albite, and kumdykolite occur enclosed within porous silica patches. Porous silica is commonly interfingered with cristobalite suggesting its amorphous structure resulted from high‐temperature quenching. We interpret the S‐bearing porous silica to be a product of silicate sulfidation, and the Na, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Al detectable within this material are chemical residues of sulfidized silicates and metal. The occurrence of porous silica in the cores of MSN, which are considered to be pre‐accretionary objects, suggests the sulfidizing conditions occurred prior to final parent‐body solidification. Ubiquitous S‐bearing porous silica among sulfide‐bearing chondrules, MSN, and in the interchondrule clastic matrix, suggests that similar sulfidizing conditions affected all the constituents of these EH3 chondrites.     

Understanding the textures and origin of shock melt pockets in Martian meteorites from petrographic studies,comparisons with terrestrial mantle xenoliths,and experimental studies

Abstract— We present a textural comparison of localized shock melt pockets in Martian meteorites and glass pockets in terrestrial, mantle‐derived peridotites. Specific textures such as the development of sieve texture on spinel and pyroxene, and melt migration and reaction with the host rock are identical between these two apparently disparate sample sets. Based on petrographic and compositional observations it is concluded that void collapse/variable shock impedance is able to account for the occurrence of pre‐terrestrial sulfate‐bearing secondary minerals in the melts, high gas emplacement efficiencies, and S, Al, Ca, and Na enrichments and Fe and Mg depletion of shock melt compositions compared to the host rock; previously used as arguments against such a formation mechanism. Recent experimental studies of xenoliths are also reviewed to show how these data further our understanding of texture development and can be used to shed light on the petrogenesis of shock melts in Martian meteorites.     

A 3D ray tracing procedure to study ionospheric tilts

Tilts associated with ionospheric horizontal gradients are one of the causes of bearing errors in HF links. Our purpose is to describe a fast, three dimensional, ray tracing procedure using geometrical optics. A three dimensional model was built, based on the spatially variable parameters of the ionospheric layers obtained from forecast procedures, associated with an MQP profile, which may be considered as realistic. The refractive index and the vertical and horizontal gradients are taken into account. In this paper, a software permitting to estimate the mean bearing deviations estimation is described.     

New types of motion in Störmer's problem

Application of boundary value techniques in the case of an electron performing relativistic motions within a magnetic dipole such as that of the Earth supplemented by a scanning process by means of which the entire phase space of the problem can be investigated, six new types of periodic motion have been discovered and computed. The stability of these motions is investigated and their direct bearing on formation and shape of the Van Allen zones of the Earth is discussed.     

Glass‐bearing inclusions in Shergotty and Chassigny: Consistent samples of a primary trapped melt?

Glass‐bearing inclusions hosted by different mineral phases in SNC meteorites provide important information on the conditions that prevailed during formation of early phases and/or on the composition of the primary trapped liquids/melts of these rocks. Although extensive previous work has been reported on such inclusions, several questions are still unresolved. We performed a chemical and petrographic study of the constituents (glasses and mineral assemblage) of glassy and multiphase inclusions in Shergotty and Chassigny. We focused on obtaining accurate trace element contents of glasses and co‐existing minerals and discussing their highly variable REE contents. Our results reveal an unusual geochemistry of trace element contents that appear to be independent of their major element compositions. Chemical equilibrium between phases inside inclusions as well as between glasses and host minerals could not be established. The LREE contents of glasses in glass inclusions can vary by up to two orders of magnitude. The depletion in trace element abundances shown by glasses seem to be inconsistent with these phases being residual melts. The light lithophile element contents of glasses are highly variable with enrichment in incompatible elements (e.g., Be, Sr, Ba, and LREE) indicating some processes involving percolation of fluids. All of these features are incompatible with glass‐bearing inclusions in the host minerals acting as closed systems preserving unmodified primary liquids/melts. Glass‐bearing inclusions in Shergotty and Chassigny appear to have been altered (as was the rock itself) by different postformational processes (e.g., shock, metamorphism, metasomatic [?] fluids) that affected these meteorites with different degree of intensity. Our results indicate that these inclusions could not preserve a reliable sample of the primary trapped melt.
