FAST VLBI: current status and future plans

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)is the largest single-dish radio telescope in the world,and is now being commissioned after the first light in September 2016.Very long baseline interferometry(VLBI)is among the key science topics according to the original design.The FAST VLBI system has been established,and the first VLBI fringe has been successfully obtained.FAST will significantly improve the sensitivity of the existing VLBI networks in the future,and some science projects in need of high sensitivity will benefit from its participation.     

Discovery of 13 New Variable Stars in the Field of the Open Cluster NGC 2168 （M35）

A wide-field time-series CCD photometric survey of variable stars in the field of the open cluster NGC 2168 was carried out using the BATC Schmidt telescope. In total 13 new variable stars are discovered with three W UMa systems, one EA type and two EB type eclipsing binaries (one of them could be a W UMa system), and seven pulsating stars including three candidates of δScuti stars.     

银盘恒星运动学和化学丰度与银河系结构

大样本的银盘恒星的运动学数据和元素丰度特征是研究银河系结构及演化，尤其是银盘形成和演化的2个重要探针。本文首先介绍了银河系的总体结构特征，然后较详细的综述了以上2个探针的重要性。对我国LAMOST项目在研究银河系结构方面，尤其是银盘的形成和演化方面的能力作了合理的分析。     

猎户星云星团天区1663颗恒星的综合自行

本文将近期国外发展的四份猪户星云星团天区内有较高精度的自行资料转换到上海天文台所得同一区的恒星自行系统，并进行了合并，得到该天区内1663颗恒星的高精度自行和成员概率，为进一步研究猎户星云星团的天体物理性质和内部运动提供了一份有较大视场范围和较宽星等范围的高精度自行样本。     

Ⅱ型光电等高仪自动观测系统

本文叙述了APPLE－Ⅱ微机控制光电等高仪观测的系统，该系统可以实现自动导星、定位、跟踪与换星。在控制系统中应用了高精度的圆感应同步测角器和简单的恒星时钟卡。该系统的望远镜定位精度达±3″，跟踪精度达±5″。该套设备现在已投入正常使用，对改善观测条件和提高观测质量取得了明显效果。     

星风吸积引起的钡星重元素超丰

首先指出目前星风吸积模型中理论上的不自洽，考虑到δｒ≠０，重新推导轨道参量变化方程，消去了理论上的不自洽．提出一个新模型：首次将星风吸积同内禀ＡＧＢ星核合成模型结合起来计算钡（Ｂａ）星的重元素超丰，并将计算结果与观测值进行了比较．各参量按标准情况取值时，计算结果不太理想．取Ｂｏｎｄｉｈｏｙｌｅ吸积率的０．５倍或取较大的星风速率时，对于较长轨道周期（Ｐ＞１０００天）的Ｂａ星，计算结果与观测值基本符合；而较短轨道周期（Ｐ＜６００天）的Ｂａ星，其重元素超丰机制可能是盘吸积     

恒星内部电荷屏幕对电子俘获反应的影响

本文分析了在恒星环境下，电荷强屏蔽对原子核电子俘获反应的影响，分析中忽略了电荷屏幕对核跃迁矩阵元的影响。作为例子，分别讨论了电荷屏蔽对核素＾３３Ｓ、＾３０Ｐ和＾５７Ｆｅ的电子俘获率的影响。结果表明：在较低温度和较高密度下，由于电荷屏蔽，其电子俘获率相对于无屏蔽情形有明显降低，这可能对恒星晚期演化和超新星爆发理论带来明显的影响。     

恒星的初始-终止质量关系

本文研究了星族ＩＲＧＢ／ＡＧＢ星外壳结合能为零时的核质量与其初始质量的关系，发现此关系与Ｗｅｉｄｅｍａｎｎ和Ｋｏｅｓｔｅｒ观测得到的初始终止质量关系相符，并与Ｚｈａｎｇ和Ｋｗｏｋ得到的行星状星云核质量分布的观测结果相符合．采用相同的假设，本文还得到了星族ＩＩ恒星的初始终止质量关系．对于相同的初始质量，星族Ｉ恒星的终止质量比星族Ｉ的大～１０％－２０％．     

密近双星自转的测量和研究（V）轨道圆化

作为密近双星自转测量和研究的系列章之一，本从轨道圆化的角度讨论了Ｚａｈｎ的动力学潮汐机制粘滞理论、Ｔａｓｓｏｕｌ的纯流体动力学理论与实测数据的简便程度，对前前中的２９个不相接双星系统，均分别计算了出以上理论所预测匠轨道沦时标，分析比较了各系统的理论圆化时标与它的年龄及轨道圆化和蔼间的关系，结果表明：动力学潮汐、粘滞理论的计算结果出比纯流体动力学机制的预期更符合实测数据，但与（ＩＶ）的结果相     

Can the inner gap sparking take place in millisecond pulsars？

The inner vacuum gap model has become the foundation stone of most theories on pulsar radio emission. The fundamental picture of this model is the sparking, which was conjectured to be induced by magnetic absorption of background gamma photons. However, a question is, can the sparking be triggered in the millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with magnetic fields (B) only about 108 G? We investigate this problem by including the pair production above the inner gap. Under the assumption that the magnetic field is dipolar, our results show the background gamma-ray emission can not be the key factor that triggers the sparking, at least not in MSPs with B - 108 G, if the temperature in the polar cap region is only so high as is observed (< 4 × 106 K). Some other mechanisms are required.
