CCD的近红外敏化技术

理论上硅ＣＣＤ在０ ．１ｎｍ 到１．１μｍ 之间都有响应, 但通常此种器件在８００ｎｍ 以后量子效率下降明显, 一般会小于５０ ％ 。其中最主要的原因是近红外光子的吸收深度大于ＣＣＤ 的外延层厚度, 使大量光子穿透整个器件。显然增加外延层的厚度是解决这一问题的良好途径。但随着外延层的增加, 必须使用高阻抗的材料, 否则会明显的减低分辨率。另外增透膜的使用也会使量子效率大幅度提高, 而且有效的减弱了干涉条纹的影响。新型Ｐ沟道Ｎ 衬底全耗尽高阻ＣＣＤ的出现, 使得量子效率在１μｍ 仍然接近６０％ 。

不同测站近地小行星地基观测效能评估研究

目标的完备性搜索是开展近地小行星预警和防御的前提. 为量化评价近地小行星观测效能, 提高监测设备使用效率, 提出一种综合望远镜参数和测站天文条件的观测效能评估方法. 以观测目标信噪比作为检测指标, 设定检测条件形成目标检测方法, 定义评价指标用于评估近地小行星观测效能. 再基于近地小行星轨道数据和尺度分布模型, 建立近地小行星轨道数据模拟样本库. 最后选取中国科学院紫金山天文台盱眙观测站和中国科学院国家天文台冷湖观测台址, 仿真分析近地天体望远镜对直径0.01--30km近地小行星的观测效能, 结果表明: 不考虑两观测站年有效观测时间差异, 近地天体望远镜在冷湖观测全尺寸模拟样本的效能比在盱眙提高了5.21倍, 其中对1km以上直径目标的观测效能相当, 对1km以下直径目标的观测效能差异开始显现, 对0.1km以下直径目标冷湖优势更显著.     

The Effect of Radiative Efficiency on the Growth of the Black Hole Mass

The effect of variation of radiative efficiency on the growth of the black hole mass is discussed. In the process of accretion, the black hole's angular momentum varies, resulting in a variation of the radiative efficiency, and the growth of the black hole mass is thereby affected. For the exponential growth model of back holes and taking into account the effect of a varying radiative efficiency, the equation for the growth of the black hole mass is solved numerically. Compared to the model that assumes a constant radiative efficiency, the result indicates that variation of radiative efficiency has a marked, retarding effect on the growth of the black hole mass. This model can explain quantitatively some recent observational results.

On the dynamic efficiency of internal shocks in magnetized relativistic outflows

We study the dynamic efficiency of conversion of kinetic-to-thermal/magnetic energy of internal shocks in relativistic magnetized outflows. We model internal shocks as being caused by collisions of shells of plasma with the same energy flux and a non-zero relative velocity. The contact surface, where the interaction between the shells takes place, can break up either into two oppositely moving shocks (in the frame where the contact surface is at rest), or into a reverse shock and a forward rarefaction. We find that for moderately magnetized shocks (magnetization  σ≃ 0.1  ), the dynamic efficiency in a single two-shell interaction can be as large as 40 per cent. Thus, the dynamic efficiency of moderately magnetized shocks is larger than in the corresponding unmagnetized two-shell interaction. If the slower shell propagates with a sufficiently large velocity, the efficiency is only weakly dependent on its Lorentz factor. Consequently, the dynamic efficiency of shell interactions in the magnetized flow of blazars and gamma-ray bursts is effectively the same. These results are quantitatively rather independent on the equation of state of the plasma. The radiative efficiency of the process is expected to be a fraction   f _r < 1  of the estimated dynamic one, the exact value of f _r depending on the particularities of the emission processes which radiate away the thermal or magnetic energy of the shocked states.     

Energetics of the Kerr-Newman black hole by the penrose process

We have studied in detail the energetics of Kerr-Newman black hole by the Penrose process using charged particles. It turns out that the presence of electromagnetic field offers very favourable conditions for energy extraction by allowing for a region with enlarged negative energy states much beyondr = 2M, and higher negative values for energy. However, when uncharged particles are involved, the efficiency of the process (defined as the gain in energy/input energy) gets reduced by the presence of charge on the black hole in comparison with the maximum efficiency limit of 20.7 per cent for the Kerr black hole. This fact is overwhelmingly compensated when charged particles are involved as there exists virtually no upper bound on the efficiency. A specific example of over 100 per cent efficiency is given.     

Thermal structure of the equatorialE-region over Thumba

Photoionization and absorbed energy rates have been computed by making use of the latest available semi-empirical solar XUV fluxes and cross-sections for two rocket flights for electron density measurements on 3 March, 1973 and 7 April, 1972 corresponding to low and medium solar active conditions over Thumba. Various heating and cooling rate profiles have been computed by making use of the latest available information. Various efficiency parameters such as photoelectron heating efficiency, photoionization efficiency, and ultraviolet heating efficiency, that are extremely important in understanding the thermal structure of the ionosphere, are clearly defined and distinguished.     

The gamma-ray conversion efficiency of rotation-powered pulsars

We use a new self-consistent model to derive the conversion efficiency from rotation power to γ-ray power for pulsars (ε_th). Our result indicates that ε_th∝τ^6/7 P ², where τ and P are the characteristic age and period of the pulsar, which shows that although the efficiency increases with the characteristic age of the pulsar, it also depends on the pulsar period. We test our model results with the survey of high-energy γ-rays from pulsars by EGRET. Our model not only successfully explains the efficiency of the confirmed γ-ray pulsars but also explains why the γ-ray efficiency of millisecond pulsars is so low.     

Investigating the efficiency of the Beijing Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera(BFOSC) of the Xinglong 2.16-m reflector

The Beijing Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera(BFOSC) is one of the most important instruments operating in conjunction with the 2.16-m telescope at Xinglong Observatory. Every year there are~20 SCI-papers published based on observational data acquired with this telescope. In this work,we have systemically measured the total efficiency of the BFOSC that operates as part of the 2.16-m reflector, based on observations of two ESO flux standard stars. We have obtained the total efficiencies of the BFOSC instrument of different grisms with various slit widths in almost all ranges, and analyzed factors which effect the efficiency of this telescope and spectrograph. For astronomical observers, the result will be useful for them to select a suitable slit width, depending on their scientific goals and weather conditions during observations. For technicians, the result will help them to systemically identify the real efficiency of the telescope and spectrograph, and to further improve the total efficiency and observing capacity of the telescope technically.     

Accelerator measurement of NaI response to medium energy neutrons and application to a Satellite-Borne Spectrometer

We report on the response of a prototype detector to medium energy neutrons. The neutrons were produced by n-p scattering of a neutron beam on a hydrogen target. The measurements provide unique data on the efficiency and response of large NaI scintillators to neutrons in the energy range 36–709 MeV. We apply the results to the high-energy mode of the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) on the Solar Maximum Mission satellite by estimating its efficiency for neutron detection. This estimate is compared to earlier Monte Carlo calculations of the GRS efficiency.     

Recent Advances in Bolide Entry Modeling:A Bolide Potpourri*

In this paper, we will review recent research on numerous aspects of bolide entry into a planetary atmosphere, including such topics as the entry dynamics, energetics, ablation, deceleration, fragmentation, luminosity, mechanical wave generation processes, a total (panchromatic) power budget including differential and integral efficiencies vs. time, etc. Fragmentation, triggered by stagnation pressures exceeding the bolide breaking strength, has been included with subsequent wake behavior in either a collective or non-collective behavior limit. We have also utilized the differential panchromatic luminous efficiency of ReVelle and Ceplecha (2002c, Proceedings of Asteroids, Comets, Meteors ACM 2002, 29 July–2August, 285–288) to compute bolide luminosity. In addition we also introduce the concept of the differential and integral acoustic/infrasonic efficiency and generalized it to the case of mechanical wave efficiency including internal atmospheric gravity waves generated during entry. Unlike the other efficiencies which are assumed to be a constant multiple of the luminous efficiency, the acoustic efficiency is calculated independently using a 'first principles' approach. All of these topics have been pursued using either a homogeneous or a porous meteoroid model with great success. As a direct result, porosity seems to be a rather good possibility for explaining anomalous meteoroid behavior in the atmosphere.
