Research on the principle of space high-precision temperature control system of liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter

The magnetic field is one of the most important parameters in solar physics,and a polarimeter is the key device to measure the solar magnetic field.Liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is a novel technology,and will be applied for magnetic field measurement in the first space-based solar observatory satellite developed by China,Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory.However,the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter in space is not a mature technology.Therefore,it is of great scientific significance to study the control method and characteristics of the device.The retardation produced by a liquid crystal variable retarder is sensitive to the temperature,and the retardation changes 0.09°per 0.10℃.The error in polarization measurement caused by this change is 0.016,which affects the accuracy of magnetic field measurement.In order to ensure the stability of its performance,this paper proposes a high-precision temperature control system for liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter in space.In order to optimize the structure design and temperature control system,the temperature field of liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is analyzed by the finite element method,and the influence of light on the temperature field of the liquid crystal variable retarder is analyzed theoretically.By analyzing the principle of highprecision temperature measurement in space,a high-precision temperature measurement circuit based on integrated operational amplifier,programmable amplifier and 12 bit A/D is designed,and a high-precision space temperature control system is developed by applying the integral separation PI temperature control algorithm and PWM driving heating films.The experimental results show that the effect of temperature control is accurate and stable,whenever the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is either in the air or vacuum.The temperature stability is within±0.0150℃,which demonstrates greatly improved stability for the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter.     

Comparison of three filters in asteroid-based autonomousnavigation

At present, optical autonomous navigation has become a key technologyin deep space exploration programs. Recent studies focus on the problem of orbit de-termination using autonomous navigation, and the choice of filter is one of the mainissues. To prepare for a possible exploration mission to Mars, the primary emphasisof this paper is to evaluate the capability of three filters, the extended Kalman filter（EKF）, unscented Kalman filter （UKF） and weighted least-squares （WLS） algorithm,which have different initial states during the cruise phase. One initial state is assumedto have high accuracy with the support of ground tracking when autonomous navi-gation is operating; for the other state, errors are set to be large without this support.In addition, the method of selecting asteroids that can be used for navigation fromknown lists of asteroids to form a sequence is also presented in this study. The simula-tion results show that WLS and UKF should be the first choice for optical autonomousnavigation during the cruise phase to Mars.

追逐类星体(27) 黑洞——类星体的发电机(5)

黑洞也可以蒸发天文学的发展遵循着一条规律:观测、理论、再观测、再理论……这大概也是任何一门自然科学的发展规律,只不过天文学表现得更为突出,而在漫长的发展过程中,观测又始终是天文科学的真谛。因此,天文学又被称为是一门观测的科学。黑洞的观测证据越来越丰富,黑洞对宇宙的威胁也越来越严重。理论天文学家必须出来释疑,让黑洞不仅能吃进去,还要吐出来。吐出来的困难在于黑洞的引力太强,在黑洞的视

Opportunities to search for extraterrestrial intelligence with the FAST

The discovery of ubiquitous habitable extrasolar planets,combined with revolutionary advances in instrumentation and observational capabilities,has ushered in a renaissance in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence(SETI).Large scale SETI activities are now underway at numerous international facilities.The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)is the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world,and is well positioned to conduct sensitive searches for radio emission indicative of exo-intelligence.SETI is one of the five key science goals specified in the original FAST project plan.A collaboration with the Breakthrough Listen Initiative was initiated in 2016 with a joint statement signed both by Dr.Jun Yan,the then director of National Astronomical Observatories,Chinese Academy of Sciences(NAOC),and Dr.Peter Worden,Chairman of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation.In this paper,we highlight some of the unique features of FAST that will allow for novel SETI observations.We identify and describe three different signal types indicative of a technological source,namely,narrow band,wide-band artificially dispersed and modulated signals.Here,we propose observations with FAST to achieve sensitivities never before explored.For nearby exoplanets,such as TESS targets,FAST will be sensitive to an EIRP of 1.9×1011 W,well within the reach of current human technology.For the Andromeda Galaxy,FAST will be able to detect any Kardashev type II or more advanced civilization there.     

A semi-analytic model for the study of 1/1 resonant dynamics of the planar elliptic restricted co-orbital problem

Mean motion resonances(MMRs)are widespread in our Solar System.Moreover,resonant dynamics has always been an essential topic in planetary research.Recently,the research about exoplanets and the potential Planet Nine with large eccentricity has given rise to our interests in the secular dynamics inside MMRs in the elliptic model.In this paper,we study the fixed points of the averaged Hamiltonian and the long-term stable regions of the 1/1 resonance(or co-orbital motion)in the elliptic restricted three-body problem(ERTBP)systematically.Numerical integrations prove those test particles trapped in"apsidal co-rotation",where both the resonant angleφ_resand the secular angleΔω(or apsidal longitude differences)librate simultaneously,always survive the long-term simulations.Furthermore,utilizing a semianalytical method based on the adiabatic approach,three families of long-term fixed points of the averaged Hamiltonian of the planar ERTBP inside the 1/1 resonance have been found.We call them QS-points,Hpoints,and T-points here,whose values of the(φ_res,Δω)are(0°,180°),(180°,0°),and(±60°,±60°),respectively.All the fixed points of the averaged Hamiltonian of the co-orbital motion in the ERTBP are presented in the e-e’plane(’represents the elements of the planet in this paper).We find that QS-points and T-points always exist for the arbitrary eccentricity of a planet,while H-points only exist for the cases of low e’and very high e.Furthermore,we measure the libration width in terms of eccentricity,Δe,around these stable equilibrium points in the e-Δωphase-space portraits.The"apsidal co-rotation"around all the stable equilibrium points is presented in the e-e’plane.All these results are effectively confirmed by numerical experiments.The long-term stable zones around these periodic orbits in the e-e’plane are significant for the research of the co-orbital motion in the ERTBP.Above all,these practical approaches that we proposed can also be used to study the secular dynamics of other MMRs.

用非差分方法确定单颗导航卫星的轨道

在导航系统中有时需要对单颗导航卫星进行定轨.此时由于无法组成常用的同历元单差或双差以消除卫星钟差或接收机钟差,有必要发展新的定轨策略和精度分析.该文以GPS为例,讨论在不依赖于星站间时间同步的情况下,对单颗导航卫星进行精密定轨.首先分析了GPS卫星钟差以及GPS接收机钟差的特性,发现在一定间隔内钟差主要表现为线性变化,而在去除这一线性项后,非线性钟差在3 m以内.利用GPS的伪距对单颗卫星定轨,在将钟差的主要部分作为测距的偏差和偏差变化率后,伪距测量量等价于常见的测距测量量.在利用等价的测距测量量定轨时可同时解算出偏差和偏差变化率参数.为验证该方案的可行性及其定轨精度,利用实测GPS观测数据进行了试验.结果表明,此种定轨方案定轨的径向精度优于4 m.考虑到GPS接收机的频率信号是由普通的晶振产生的,如果地面接收机采用原子钟提供的频率标准,其钟差的非线性部分将更小.模拟计算表明,采用本方案可以期望得到更高的定轨精度.     

2003年8月太阳活动区AR0442内的暗条爆发及其相关现象的研究

利用色球Ha单色像、TRACE和SOHO／EITEUV单色像、SOH0／LASCO白光日冕观测及SOH0／MDI光球磁图，对2003年8月25日日面AR0442边界上2个暗条爆发的不同动力学行为及与之相关的耀斑、耀斑后环和CME等现象进行了分析。主要结论如下：(1)2个暗条的激活态和爆发过程有明显不同：暗条F1先变粗变黑，出现明显分叉，然后表现为whiplike爆发；而暗条F2一部分先消失，其余部分出现水平的轴向运动，最后F2整体爆发。(2)2个暗条的爆发机制是不同的：F1的爆发可能与新浮磁流密切相关，而F2的爆发与F1爆发产生的双带耀斑的分离运动和相互作用密切相关。     

一个拱桥状爆发日珥

1991年3月7日在太阳东北边缘产生了一个爆发日珥。它产生在没有耀斑、暗条、黑子等其它太阳活动现象的一个相对宁静的日面区域。日珥抛射的最大高度为6.97×104km,最大长度为11.6×104km,从形态的大小来看它属于中等偏小的爆发日珥。抛射的时间过程,上升阶段非常快,而下降阶段则较缓慢,有类似于耀斑爆发的时间过程。日珥爆发后的绝大部分物质基本上在磁场作用下沿磁力线作抛物线运动形成拱桥形状,并保持到消失。日珥下降前后,顶端有少部分物质被抛射脱离日珥主体部分,扩散到行星际空间。

诗词歌赋中的星座世界（六）——太微垣、天市垣和少微星

中国古代的星座,与现代星座概念有很大的不同。我们现在使用的星座,是托勒密时代开始设置、后世逐渐补充形成的西方88星座体系,这些星座相互独立,像“地板”一样天衣无缝地盖满全天,十分便于科学研究：而中国古代的星座（实际称“星官”）,划分则零碎得多,共有283个,而且只考虑较亮的星连成的线,不考虑天区背景。
