Origin of power-law X-ray emission in the steep power-law state of X-ray binaries

We present a new explanation for the origin of the steep power-law(SPL) state of X-ray binaries.The power-law component of X-ray emission is the synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons in highly magnetized compact spots orbiting near the inner stable circular orbit of a black hole.It has a hard spectrum that extends to above MeV energies,which is determined by the electron acceleration rate.These photons are then down-scattered by the surrounding plasma to form an observed steep spectrum.We discuss ...     

External photon fields in Fermi bright blazars

The external Compton(EC) model is used to study the high energy emission of some blazars,in which the external photon field is considered to dominate inverse Compton radiation. We explore the properties of the external photon field through analyzing the FERMI LAT bright AGN sample within three months of the start of operations in sky-survey mode. In the sample,assuming the high energy radiation of low synchrotron peaked blazars is from the EC process,we find that the external photon parameter Uext/νext may ...     

Stellar kinematics and populations out to 1.5 effective radii in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4636

We present high quality long slit spectra along the major and minor axes out to 1.5 effective radii of the massive galaxy NGC 4636 taken by the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. Using the Fourier Correlation Quotient method,we measured the stellar line-of-sight velocity distribution along the axes. Furthermore,six Lick/IDS indices(Hβ,Mgb,Fe5015,Fe5270,Fe5335,Fe5406) are derived from the clean spectrum. By comparing the measured absorption line strengths with the predictions of Simple Stellar Population(SSP) models,we...

A Photometric Study of the W UMa-type Eclipsing Binary System GSC 0445-1993

Several new light minimum times for the eclipsing binary GSC 0445-1993 have been determined from the observations by Koppelman et al. and the orbital period of this system was revised. A photometric analysis was carried out using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code. The results reveal that GSC 0445-1993 is a W-type eclipsing binary with a mass ratio of q = 0.323(±0.002) and an over-contact degree of f = 22.8%(±4.2%). A small temperature difference between the components of △T = 135 K and an orbital inclination of i = 65.7°(±0.3°) were obtained. The asymmetry of its light curve (i.e., the O'Connell effect) for this binary star is explained by the presence of a dark spot on the more massive component.

The Role of T_(50) in the Classification of Gamma-ray Bursts

The role of T50 in classifying gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is investigated. We take T50=0.7s as the line of division and find that some bursts belonging to the class of long bursts defined by T90≥2s now become short bursts (sample 1), while some belonging to the class of short bursts defined by T90 < 2 s now become long bursts (sample 2). We study how these sources are affected by the two methods of classification and find the change of classes of sample 1 is due to some peculiar properties of the light curves. Based on their characters, most of the bursts of sample 1 should be taken as short bursts.     

黄河流域水资源利用与经济增长脱钩及影响因素分解

水资源是黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展的最大刚性约束,识别流域水资源利用变化驱动因素具有重要意义。首先从结构视角测度黄河流域水足迹变化,进而基于Tapio脱钩模型与Kaya-LMDI分解模型,解析水足迹与经济增长脱钩状态,并从技术效应、结构效应、规模效应、禀赋效应、城市化效应和人口效应识别水资源利用变化驱动因素。研究发现：(1)黄河流域水足迹总体呈现上升趋势,农业水足迹占比高达85%,用水结构与产业结构倒挂问题突出。(2)黄河流域上下游水资源量与水足迹空间分布不匹配,中下游面临更严重水资源约束。(3)水足迹与经济增长关系主要表现为弱脱钩,但2015—2019年各省区开始向强脱钩转变。(4)规模效应、城市化效应和人口效应对水足迹变化起拉动作用,技术效应、结构效应和禀赋效应对水足迹变化起抑制作用,但仍有提升潜力,各省区影响因素存在一定差异。为此,需要强化水资源利用技术研发与推广,推动农业集约式发展,提升农业用水效率,进一步优化产业结构和新型城镇化建设,缓解水资源约束困境,推动黄河流域经济高质量发展。     

波前相位差法探测器的设计

波前相位差法是利用焦面像和离焦面像通过一个相位多样性算法来拟合相位或对目标复原,这就要求采集两个图像,一个是焦面像,另一个是离焦面像。本文的设计是根据晶体的偏振原理分像,并将焦面像和离焦像同时采集到同一个CCD(Charge Coupled Device)上,这种方法保证了两个图像的同步、实时,而且光学系统简单。文中具体给出了一种新型波前相位差法探测器的设计方案、像差分析,并且模拟了波前相位差法探测器对模拟结果的影响。
