类星体长周期光变分析方法的研究

给出了4种分析类星体长周期光变的方法,用一个模拟的周期信号y=sinθ检验这4种分析方法,结果表明:(1)天体光变采样的数据点个数相对少到一定值时,Jurkevich方法、时间补偿离散傅里叶变换分析方法(DCDFT)、离散相关分析方法(DCF)和功率谱密度分析方法(PSD)的分析结果不一样,获取最短的连续数据点后,Jurkevich方法分析结果在4种方法中可能最为精确可靠,且计算方法简捷实用;(2)获得了Jurkevich分析方法的最佳参数,当m=9时分析结果最佳;(3)用m=9时的Jurkevich方法分析了类星体3C 279及3C 454.3的光变周期,得出3C 279的可能光变周期为(2.81±0.54)年,3C 454.3的可能光变周期为457 d。     

3C273的光学光变周期

收录了类星体3C273约110年的光学资料，并在此基础上讨论了光变周期性.当用两种不同方法(Jurkevich方法及DCF(离散相关系数)法)分析时，发现光变曲线中存在周期为2.0年、(13.65±0.20)及(22.5±2.0)年的周期性.同时也讨论了这种周期的可能机制.     

类星体3C 273光学波段的周期分析

搜集了类星体3C 273在光学B波段近100 yr的数据,得出光变曲线,并在此基础上应用Period04软件对它的光变周期进行了分析.发现光变曲线中存在周期为T1=2.06 yr、T2=13.03 yr及T3=21.15 yr的3个光变周期,这与Fan等人的结论(3C 273的光学B波段存在2.0 yr、(13.65±0.20)yr及(22.5±2.0)yr的周期)基本上是一致的.然后用这3个周期再次拟合观测数据做一个周期反演,周期拟合曲线与观测数据的爆发周期规律基本一致,说明这3个周期是比较可靠的.并通过其长周期可以得出其中心黑洞质量为M=1.87×106M⊙,最后讨论了其中心黑洞质量以及3C 273产生这种周期的可能机制.

Blazar天体3C 66A光学波段准周期光变分析

研究了Blazar天体3C 66A光学波段的准周期光变行为.收集了3C 66A光学V波段将近18 yr (2003—2021年)的测光数据,观测数据主要来源是:上海天文台(ShAO)、 AAVSO (The American Association of Variable Star Observers)数据库、Steward天文台.使用了Jurkevich和Lomb-Scargle两种方法分析了光变数据.Jurkevich方法得到了(850±90) d (～2.3 yr)和(1150±140) d (～3.2 yr)的光变周期,而Lomb-Scargle方法在充分考虑了“红噪声”效应之后同样得到了(869±70) d和(1111±90) d的光变周期,它们的置信水平分别为>99%和> 95%.通过与之前的研究结果比较,发现～2.3 yr的光变周期在3C 66A的历史光变数据中是一个稳定的周期,而～3.2 yr的周期则是不稳定的.

Observations of the intensity of the penumbra of sunspots

Observations of the penumbral intensity of sunspots in 13 wavelength regions are presented. In 4 wavelength regions 54 sunspots are measured. In the other wavelength regions the number of sunspots considered ranges from 3–19.The penumbral intensity alters with position within the spot. This intensity variation is found to be comparable with the change in intensity from one spot to another. The penumbral intensity is found to be independent of spot size in the sample considered.The penumbra model of Kjeldseth Moe and Maltby (1969) with = 0.055 is supported by the measurements.     

Equation of state and anisotropy of pressure of magnetars

Magnetars are the neutron stars with the highest magnetic fields up to 10¹⁵–10¹⁶ G. It has been proposed that they are also responsible for a variety of extra-galactic phenomena, ranging from giant flares in nearby galaxies to fast radio bursts. Utilizing a relativistic mean field model and a variable magnetic field configuration, we investigate the effects of strong magnetic fields on the equation of state and anisotropy of pressure of magnetars. It is found that the mass and radius of low-mass magnetars are weakly enhanced under the action of the strong magnetic field, and the anisotropy of pressure can be ignored. Unlike other previous investigations, the magnetic field is unable to violate the mass limit of the neutron stars.     

A survey of orbits of co-orbitals of Mars

Many asteroids with a semimajor axis close to that of Mars have been discovered in the last several years. Potentially some of these could be in 1:1 resonance with Mars, much as are the classic Trojan asteroids with Jupiter, and its lesser-known horseshoe companions with Earth. In the 1990s, two Trojan companions of Mars, 5261 Eureka and 1998 VF₃₁, were discovered, librating about the L₅ Lagrange point, 60° behind Mars in its orbit. Although several other potential Mars Trojans have been identified, our orbital calculations show only one other known asteroid, 1999 UJ₇, to be a Trojan, associated with the L₄ Lagrange point, 60° ahead of Mars in its orbit. We further find that asteroid 36017 (1999 ND₄₃) is a horseshoe librator, alternating with periods of Trojan motion. This asteroid makes repeated close approaches to Earth and has a chaotic orbit whose behavior can be confidently predicted for less than 3000 years. We identify two objects, 2001 HW₁₅ and 2000 TG₂, within the resonant region capable of undergoing what we designate “circulation transition”, in which objects can pass between circulation outside the orbit of Mars and circulation inside it, or vice versa. The eccentricity of the orbit of Mars appears to play an important role in circulation transition and in horseshoe motion. Based on the orbits and on spectroscopic data, the Trojan asteroids of Mars may be primordial bodies, while some co-orbital bodies may be in a temporary state of motion.     

Graphical representation of periodic motion of the line of nodes of the Moon

In the text-books of astronomy, sections generally related to the Moon deal with the orbital elements of the Earth-Moon system such asa, e, i, , and the time of perigee passage. While the MEAN of the first of the three elements do not vary, mean longitude of the ascending node-mean longitude of the lunar perigee and the time of perigee passage undergoes secular as well as periodic changes due predominantly to the action of the Sun's gravitational attraction. While to a certain degree, explanations related to the calculation of the lunar orbit parameters are given, not a single graphical representation of these short- or long-periodic changes are presented. We allow the number of data related to these periodic changes must cover a large span of time; and if regression of the line of nodes or advances of the line of apses are to be graphically seen, data covering 18.61 and 8.85 yr, respectively, are needed. In this work we particularly aim at the graphical representation of the periodic changes of the line of nodes.
