强作用对奇异星观测效应的影响

奇异星是类似于中子星的曲奇异夸克物质组成的致密天体。本文研究了夸克这间的强作用对奇异星观测效应的影响。我们认为：（１）中子星转变为奇异星的行为是一种大的周期突变（ｇｌｉｔｃｈ）现象，这种现象取决于夸克间的强作用；（２）强作用使高温奇异星的振动阻尼也有效，这可能是驱动超新星爆发的新机制；（３）强作用加强了高温情形下奇异星和中子星在转动上的差别，奇异星的最小周期比中子星的小。     

奇异星周围的中微子主导吸积流

为统一解释伽玛射线暴(简称伽玛暴)与暴后再活动,提出了一个新的伽玛暴中心引擎模型一“奇异星-NDAF”模型(NDAF:Neutrino Dominated Accretion Flow,中微子主导吸积流),并计算了奇异星周围NDAF的结构.与其他中心致密天体不同的是,奇异星会向吸积流反馈以中微子为载体的奇异化相变能量.不考虑NDAF与奇异星的摩擦,结果表明:奇异星周围NDAF的结构对吸积率非常敏感;当吸积率大于0.18 Mo.S-1时,“奇异星-NDAF”模型能统一解释伽玛暴与暴后再活动,这个范围大于无摩擦的“中子星-NDAF”模型能统一解释的范围;在统一解释的情形下, “奇异星-NDAF”模型湮灭总能量的分布非常宽阔,当吸积率大于0.3 M0.S--1时,湮灭总能量大于1051 erg;最后,当吸积率大于0.3 M0.S-1时,“奇异星-NDAF”模型的湮灭光度超过同等吸积率下“黑洞-NDAF”模型一个多量级,有利于解释某些光度极大的伽玛暴.     

宇宙线与奇异滴

奇异滴，即质量较小的奇异夸克物质团块，有关它的研究涉及物理学的多个重要分支．如果存在奇异滴，人们对暗物质组分和致密星体结构的认识将会改变，强相互作用的研究也会有新的途径．已经有若干实验结果表明宇宙线中可能含有奇异滴成分．因此，研究宇宙线奇异滴的产生、传播及其与地球大气作用过程等是非常重要的．将重点围绕上述几个问题，综述目前奇异滴研究的现状。     

夸克相变对Ⅱ型超新星转移能量的影响

假设超新星在坍缩过程中,当物质达到超核密度状态后,在临界密度下发生夸克相变。用ＷＷ（８８）初始模型在有夸克相变情形下对坍缩反弹和激波传播作了模拟,重点讨论了夸克相变对转移能量的影响,在适当的临界密度下发生夸克相变,可以增加转移能量从而得到更强的激波。     

裸奇异星研究进展

简要介绍了近几年来裸奇星研究的一些重要进展，包括裸奇异星表面的电学性质和辐射机制，夸克表面存在的一些可能天体物理后果（如射电脉冲星的漂移子脉冲现象和软γ射线重复源的超Eddington辐射现象）等。这些研究结果对从天文观测上区分中子星和奇异星、证认奇异星的存在具有重要意义。     

轻夸克物质团、奇异子和致密矮星

相对于核物质和奇异夸克物质, 仅由两味夸克构成的轻夸克物质(即ud夸克物质)有可能更稳定. 而对于由这三类物质构成的典型物质集团, 研究发现如果ud夸克物质具有较大的对称能, 那么其物质团会在特定大小(重子数$A\approx1000$)时最稳定. 在这种情况下, 就可能存在由ud夸克物质团和电子构成的致密矮星, 即ud夸克矮星. 通过进一步研究这类ud夸克矮星的结构可知: 相较于传统的由原子核和电子构成的白矮星, ud夸克矮星通常具有较小的半径, 而被正常物质覆盖的ud夸克矮星的半径则在它们之间, 这与最近观测到的质量和半径都异常小的白矮星相符.     

奇异星壳层塌缩的数值研究

当奇异星表面的电场不足以支撑整个壳层的时候,壳层就有可能全部落入奇异核中.对这一过程的研究,可以为观测上证认奇异星提供一些可能的理论线索.数值计算表明,底部密度为-8.3×1010gcm-3,亦即质量为-3 4×10-6M(?)的壳层在约5.4×10-3s时间内塌缩到奇异核中,可导致一次持续约0.15s的爆发事件.在过程中平均每个重子释放约6.3 MeV的能量,总辐射能则可高达-1046-1047ergs.这可以用来解释宇宙中一些爆发现象.

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.
