八世纪前中国纪时日食观测和地球转速变化

本文对中国正史记载的八世纪前的３４次纪时日食观测作了分析，指出其中两次日食记载有重复，另一次纪日不确。对３２次日食观测记录的１４个食分和４５个见食时刻作了考查，其中除一次食甚时刻误差较大（约１＾ｈ）外，余皆准确可靠。本文据此对地球自转速率的长期变化趋势作了探讨。     

Imaging Borrelly

The nucleus, coma, and dust jets of short-period Comet 19P/Borrelly were imaged from the Deep Space 1 spacecraft during its close flyby in September 2001. A prominent jet dominated the near-nucleus coma and emanated roughly normal to the long axis of nucleus from a broad central cavity. We show it to have remained fixed in position for more than 34 hr, much longer than the 26-hr rotation period. This confirms earlier suggestions that it is co-aligned with the rotation axis. From a combination of fitting the nucleus light curve from approach images and the nucleus' orientation from stereo images at encounter, we conclude that the sense of rotation is right-handed around the main jet vector. The inferred rotation pole is approximately perpendicular to the long axis of the nucleus, consistent with a simple rotational state. Lacking an existing IAU comet-specific convention but applying a convention provisionally adopted for asteroids, we label this the north pole. This places the sub-solar latitude at ∼60° N at the time of the perihelion with the north pole in constant sunlight and thus receiving maximum average insolation.     

INTEGRAL observations of TeV plerions

Amongst the sources seen in very high gamma-rays several are associated with Pulsar Wind Nebulae (“TeV plerions”). The study of hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray emission is providing an important insight into the energetic particle population present in these objects. The unpulsed emission from pulsar/pulsar wind nebula systems in the energy range accessible to the INTEGRAL satellite is mainly synchrotron emission from energetic and fast cooling electrons close to their acceleration site. Our analyses of public INTEGRAL data of known TeV plerions detected by ground based Cherenkov telescopes indicate a deeper link between these TeV plerions and INTEGRAL detected pulsar wind nebulae. The newly discovered TeV plerion in the northern wing of the Kookaburra region (G313.3+0.6 powered by the middle aged PSR J1420-6048) is found to have a previously unknown INTEGRAL counterpart which is besides the Vela pulsar the only middle aged pulsar detected with INTEGRAL. We do not find an INTEGRAL counterpart of the TeV plerion associated with the X-ray PWN “Rabbit” G313.3+0.1 which is possibly powered by a young pulsar.     

Outgassing-induced effects in the rotational state of comet 67P/Churyumov—Gerasimenko during the Rosetta mission

The new target of the Rosetta mission is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P/C-G). In order to support the planning of the mission, in particular the strategy during the mapping and landing phases, we have performed numerical simulations of the rotational evolution of a comet in the orbit of 67P/C-G. In these simulations, the currently known observational constraints have been taken into account and a large set of initial conditions were considered. For most of the simulations, we observe that the sublimation-induced torques produce significant changes in the rotational parameters of a 67P/C-G-like comet. Typical rates of change for the spin period from the rendezvous up to the end of the nominal mission range from 0.001 to depending on different circumstances as described in the text. At perihelion, rates of change of the orientation of the angular momentum vector amount to about 0.01-. These simulations suggest that a specific strategy should be defined in order to monitor likely variations of the rotational parameters. As an example we show a possible optimized schedule for observations with the OSIRIS instrument to determine the rotational parameters of comet 67P/C-G and their possible evolution.     

A giant crater on 90 Antiope?

Mutual event observations between the two components of 90 Antiope were carried out in 2007-2008. The pole position was refined to λ₀ = 199.5 ± 0.5° and β₀ = 39.8 ± 5° in J2000 ecliptic coordinates, leaving intact the physical solution for the components, assimilated to two perfect Roche ellipsoids, and derived after the 2005 mutual event season (Descamps, P., Marchis, F., Michalowski, T., Vachier, F., Colas, F., Berthier, J., Assafin, M., Dunckel, P.B., Polinska, M., Pych, W., Hestroffer, D., Miller, K., Vieira-Martins, R., Birlan, M., Teng-Chuen-Yu, J.-P., Peyrot, A., Payet, B., Dorseuil, J., Léonie, Y., Dijoux, T., 2007. Figure of the double Asteroid 90 Antiope from AO and lightcurves observations. Icarus 187, 482-499). Furthermore, a large-scale geological depression, located on one of the components, was introduced to better match the observed lightcurves. This vast geological feature of about 68 km in diameter, which could be postulated as a bowl-shaped impact crater, is indeed responsible of the photometric asymmetries seen on the “shoulders” of the lightcurves. The bulk density was then recomputed to 1.28 ± 0.04 g cm⁻³ to take into account this large-scale non-convexity. This giant crater could be the aftermath of a tremendous collision of a 100-km sized proto-Antiope with another Themis family member. This statement is supported by the fact that Antiope is sufficiently porous (∼50%) to survive such an impact without being wholly destroyed. This violent shock would have then imparted enough angular momentum for fissioning of proto-Antiope into two equisized bodies. We calculated that the impactor must have a diameter greater than ∼17 km, for an impact velocity ranging between 1 and 4 km/s. With such a projectile, this event has a substantial 50% probability to have occurred over the age of the Themis family.     

CCD-photometry and pole coordinates for eight asteroids

The long time photometric observations were carried out for eight asteroids: (122) Gerda, (153) Hilda, (190) Ismene, (221) Eos, (411) Xanthe, (679) Pax, (700) Auravictrix, (787) Moskva. New rotation periods have been determined for the asteroids (153) Hilda (5.959 h) and (411) Xanthe (11.408 h), and known rotation periods for some of the others have been confirmed. Using our data and others data we have estimated new pole coordinates for the observed asteroids.     

原子荧光光谱测定土壤和水系沉积物中硒的干扰来源及消除方法

原子荧光光谱法(AFS)具有灵敏度高、结构简单、容易操作等优点,但目前测定土壤和沉积物中的硒等元素的标准方法所采用的消解过程繁琐,易产生干扰。沸水浴可以把土壤和水系沉积物中硒提取完全,本文根据样品中元素丰度和仪器性能,将AFS测定Se的干扰分为Cu和Pb两大类,根据实验提出在水浴消解液加入浓盐酸(不宜加入硫脲-抗坏血酸),通过增加溶液酸度和Cl~-浓度,即保持样品中盐酸浓度高于23%,可抑制Cu~(2+)还原为Cu~0和Pb~(4+)生成PbH_4,有效降低了Cu的负干扰和Pb的正干扰,提高了AFS测定Se的精密度和准确度。本方法测定Se的检出限为0.008mg/kg,测试标准物质的相对标准偏差为0.5%～11%,相对误差为-16.3%～9.5%;比行业标准HJ 680—2013的检出限(0.01mg/kg)、精密度(0.79%～23.1%)和准确度等技术指标更佳。     

车载组合导航数据处理方法研究

在运用组合导航技术进行车辆定位导航过程中,由于环境、导航设备等因素的干扰,导航数据中会包含有较大误差的野值数据,使得导航结果与实际车辆的行驶轨迹发生较大偏差,从而给人们的日常生活带来不便。一方面,错误的导航信息会给用户增加不必要的麻烦,影响智能交通系统的发展;另一方面也影响组合导航技术的应用和推广。为此,本文提出了对车辆低速和车辆停止时的定位数据进行剔除,利用粗差剔除和多项式拟合等方法对定位数据进行分析处理,提高导航定位的准确性。跑车试验证明该方法可以有效地提高定位精度,满足车载导航的需求。
