IRAS 19227+1700:富碳星还是富氧星?

IRASl9227 1700作为富碳星列于新版碳星星表中．然而该星在IRAS红外双色图上处于典型的有较厚富氧拱星包层区域中，而不处于硅酸盐碳星通常所处的区域．而且有证据表明该星不但有主线和伴线羟基脉泽发射，还有靠近中心星的水脉泽发射．其IRASLRS谱在9—12μm范围有尘埃发射特征，近红外的观测又证实它确实存在热的拱星包层．因此IRAS19227 1700的拱星包层应该全是富氧性质的，它的中心星是富氧的可能性也极大．

大质量年轻星体的红外谱研究

本文对一批中心星光度大于１０３Ｌ⊙,质量大于７～８Ｍ⊙的大质量年轻星体（ＹＳＯｓ）进行了研究．利用近几年对这批源进行的ＪＨＫ波段的观测以及其它台站的红外测光和ＩＲＡＳ点源资料,得到了这批源的红外能谱．根据它们在７－２３μｍ间的低分辨率光谱（ＬＲＳ）,确定了其尘埃粒子的类型,并将其分成三类：（１）具有９．７μｍ的硅酸盐特征;（２）具有１１．３μｍ的ＰＡＨ特征;（３）特征不明显或谱噪音较大．本文采用球对称、各向同性、吸收和散射同时考虑的辐射转移模型,对１２个大质量年轻星体进行了红外能谱拟合,得到了这些源的一系列重要的物理参量,如：中心星的光度和表面有效温度、特征波长上的光深以及包层的尘埃温度和密度随半径变化的幂律等．模型拟合的结果显示：（１）在大部分尘埃包层中,尘埃温度随尘埃包层半径的分布为Ｔｄ（ｒ）∝ｒ－０．４±０．０３,它与假设尘埃的吸收／发射效率Ｑ（ν）＝Ｑ０（νν）β,β＝１时的理论预期一致．（２）尘埃密度随尘埃包层半径的分布为ｎｄ（ｒ）∝ｒ－２．０～－１．５,该关系式间接反映了恒星形成早期,分子包层从等温塌缩到自由下落的过渡．

新单极高速分子外向流源IRAS19282+1814

^12CoJ=1-0成图观测表明在IRAS19282 1814附近存在着一个蓝向单极高速分子外流，计算了其基本参量并进行了分析，它的成协红外源IRAS19282 1814可能是大质量年轻星体，其IRAS波段色指数表明该源深埋于气体和尘埃物质之中，由60-100μm流量密度获得尘埃温度为30K,它的附近没有其他的源，所以IRAS19282 1814可能是外向流的驱动源。     

具有特殊红外色余的Be星及其分类

本文利用列于IRAS Point Source Catalog上的Be星资料,讨论了利用IRAS的三个流量(12μm、25μm、60μm)区分红外色余是自由-自由跃迁还是由星周尘埃再发射所产生。前者被认为是经典的Be星,而后者则可能是处于主序前的Herbig Ae/Be星。但是有16个一般认为是经典Be星的,却也显示出部分红外色余来自尘埃的再发射。它们的物理状态显然值得进一步研究。     

近红外偏振观测在恒星形成研究中的应用

近红外偏振是研究恒星形成的有效工具.该文介绍了近红外偏振器的工作原理,然后分几个方面介绍了近红外偏振在恒星形成研究中的应用.红外反射云能很好地示踪年轻星天体及分子外流,通过分析偏振矢量的方法确定红外反射云的偏振对称中心,从而确定它的照亮源;偏振波长相关曲线包含了年轻星天体的星周物质的很多信息;年轻星的分子外流导致了红外反射云的形成,因此红外反射云的照亮源通常与年轻星天体成协,并是分子外流的驱动源;一些年轻星天体埋藏得很深,一般在近红外波段无法直接探测到,人们称之为深埋源,通过分析偏振矢量的方法可以找到深埋源;一般认为比较年轻的年轻星天体都是有尘埃盘的,尘埃盘的存在会导致它的偏振形态出现偏振盘,偏振盘町以用来研究尘埃盘;恒星形成区里成员星的偏振主要是由尘埃的二色性消光产生的,这样偏振方向会平行于致使尘埃排列的磁场的方向,从而能够揭示磁场的结构.最后进行了总结,并论述了中远红外偏振研究的优势和意义.     

1–100 μm energy spectra and 2.3–4 μm spectrophotometry of MSC stars

The JHKL' photometry and 2.3–4 μm spectrophotometry of some M giants, S type stars and carbon stars are presented in this paper. It is found that in combination with IRAS data, the energy spectra in 1–100 μm of S type stars are intermediate between those of M giants and carbon stars, which are obviously different. The spectrophotometry in the near infrared shows that, besides carbon stars, which have HCN and C₂H₂ strong absorptions at 3.1 μm, some S type stars have the similar but weaker absorption in the same spectral region. However, no trace of any absorption at 3.1 μm can be seen in M giants. These results probably provide more evidence for the M-S-C sequence in the late stage of stellar evolution.     

Extreme Ultraviolet Photon-Induced Chemical Reactions in the C2H2-H2O Mixed Ices at 10 K

Experimental results on the spectral identification of new infrared absorption features and the changes of their absorbances produced through vacuum ultraviolet-extreme ultraviolet (VUV-EUV) photon-induced chemical reactions in the C₂H₂-H₂O mixed ices at 10 K are obtained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that EUV photons have been employed in the study of the photolysis of ice analogues. Two different compositions, i.e., C₂H₂:H₂O=1:4 and 1:1, were investigated in this work. A tunable intense synchrotron radiation light source available at the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan, was employed to provide the required VUV-EUV photons. In this study, the photon wavelengths selected to irradiate the icy samples corresponded to the prominent solar hydrogen, helium, and helium ion lines at 121.6 nm, 58.4 nm, and 30.4 nm, respectively. The photon dosages used were typically in the range of 1×10¹⁵ to 2×10¹⁷ photons. Molecular species produced and identified in the ice samples at 10 K resulting from VUV-EUV photon irradiation are mainly CO, CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₆, CH₃OH, and H₂CO. In addition to several unidentified features, we have tentatively assigned several absorption features to HCO, C₃H₈, and C₂H₅OH. While new molecular species were formed, the original reactants, i.e., H₂O and C₂H₂, were detectably depleted due to their conversion to other species. The new chemical species produced by irradiation of photons at 30.4 nm and 58.4 nm can be different from those produced by the 121.6-nm photolysis. In general, the product column density of CO reaches saturation at a lower photon dosage than that of CO₂. Furthermore, the production yield of CO is higher than that of CO₂ in the photon irradiation. In the present study, we also observe that the photon-induced chemical reaction yields are high using photons at 30.4 and 58.4 nm. The results presented in this work are essential to our understanding of chemical synthesis in ice analogues, e.g., the cometary-type ices and icy satellites of planetary systems.     

Temperature-Dependent Near-Infrared Spectral Properties of Minerals, Meteorites, and Lunar Soil

The near-IR spectral properties of minerals, meteorites, and lunar soil vary with temperature. The manner in which these materials vary is diagnostic of aspects of their composition. We quantify the spectral dependence on temperature by reporting the change in relative reflectance with temperature as a function of wavelength. We call this quantity, ΔR/ΔT (in units of K⁻¹), as a function of temperature the “thermo-reflectance spectrum.” The thermo-reflectance spectra of olivine and pyroxene are distinct, and most of the observable structure in thermo-reflectance spectra of the ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites can be understood in terms of a mixture of the thermo-reflectance spectra of olivine and pyroxene. The magnitude of thermo-reflectance spectra of meteorites and lunar soils is much less than that of pure minerals. Lunar soils are particularly subdued. While conventional analysis of remotely obtained spectra of the Moon can neglect temperature effects, spatially resolved measurements of the surface of the asteroid Vesta will likely have a strong temperature-dependent component based on measurements of a eucrite and a howardite.     

Near infrared observations of some of the IRC sources

Using an Infrared photometer with InSb photovoltaic detector at the 182cm Copernicus telescope of the Asiago Observatory, Italy, we have measured theJHKL’ M magnitudes of 12 IRC sources 7 of which are very late type stars with [I_CIT -K] greater than 5 magnitudes. These data have been fitted to blackbody distributions to obtain their effective temperatures. The present data, in combination with other available photometric data at longer wavelengths seems to indicate excess emission at 11 μm from sources 10066, 10510 and 10234, and at 19.8 μm from source 20052. The source 60098 shows extreme infrared colours. Work carried out when the first author was a guest scientist at Max Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik,Garching FRG.

Deglitching methods by the ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA)

The ISOPHOT detectors were continuously exposed to high energy cosmic particles hits, resulting in an average hit rate frequency of an event per every 7 s. The net effect is a disturbance of the readout voltages, which decreases the signal-to-noise ratio and hence the photometric accuracy level. Thanks to the highly redundant readout method of ISOPHOT it is relatively easy to identify cosmic particle hits which have enough energy to produce a noticeable deviation in the readouts. The most energetic particles can cause a short term change in the detector response. Different algorithms are implemented into PIA to cope with this problem. PIA provides handy interfaces to perform individual treatment of the data and optimize the parameters of the deglitching algorithms.

Timeline analysis and wavelet multiscale analysis of the AKARI All-Sky Survey at 90 μm

We present a careful analysis of the point-source detection limit of the AKARI All-Sky Survey in the WIDE-S 90-μm band near the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP). Timeline analysis is used to detect IRAS ( Infrared Astronomy Satellite ) sources and then a conversion factor is derived to transform the peak timeline signal to the interpolated 90-μm flux of a source. Combined with a robust noise measurement, the point-source flux detection limit at signal-to-noise ratio  (S/N) > 5  for a single detector row is  1.1 ± 0.1 Jy  which corresponds to a point-source detection limit of the survey of ∼0.4 Jy.
Wavelet transform offers a multiscale representation of the Time Series Data ( tsd ). We calculate the continuous wavelet transform of the tsd and then search for significant wavelet coefficients considered as potential source detections. To discriminate real sources from spurious or moving objects, only sources with confirmation are selected. In our multiscale analysis, IRAS sources selected above 4σ can be identified as the only real sources at the Point Source Scales. We also investigate the correlation between the non- IRAS sources detected in timeline analysis and cirrus emission using wavelet transform and contour plots of wavelet power spectrum. It is shown that the non- IRAS sources are most likely to be caused by excessive noise over a large range of spatial scales rather than real extended structures such as cirrus clouds.
