射电星系的中央引擎和统一模型研究

正活动星系核是一类存在着剧烈物理过程的天体,从射电到高能辐射的全电磁波段都有均匀辐射,这使得它成为各个波段探测的重要对象.活动星系核的高光度使得我们能够对高红移天体的光谱进行细致研究.因此,研究活动星系核对于理解星系的形成、结构和演化有重要意义.目前,活动星系核的研究已经成为现代天体物理研究的热点之一.活动星系核中大约有10%是射电噪的,伴随着相对论性喷流.射电星系根据形态的不同可以分     

含有磁单极星系核的非黑洞模型

本文以磁单极催化核子衰变反应(Rubakov和Callan效应)作为能源,建立了星系核巨型致密天体的磁单极非黑洞模型(其中磁单极含量低于Parker极限值)。本文结论如下:只要磁单极催化核子衰变反应存在(即使截面积10~(26)cm~2),它就有可能作为主要能源来维持星系核这类超巨型致密天体的巨大光度,使其不致于塌缩成为黑洞,即超巨型致密天体的黑洞厄运是可以避免的。此模型目前的主要观测依据是:磁单极催化反应可以不断地产生大量正电子,由此发射出很强的正负电子对湮灭线,这在银心以及其他星系核中已经被观测到。     

EGRET活动星系核的VLBI观测研究

EGRET空间望远镜已检测到66颗高置信度的γ射线活动星系核，这些活动星系核都是射电强的，具有很高的光度，迅速的光学变化，有相当的比例是视超光速源，对γ射线 活动星系核的研究是目前世界上最活跃的前沿课题之一，为了完备EGRET活动是系统核的射电观测图像样本，以便进行更可信的统计研究，对一些缺少射电图像观测的EGRET活动量的核进行了多历元的VLBI和VLA的观测研究，得到了它们的射电结构图像。

活动星系核动量驱动反馈机制的研究

观测中发现星系中心超大质量黑洞的质量与星系核球速度弥散或星系核球质量之间存在紧致关系。一般认为这类关系是由活动星系核反馈造成的,但是活动星系核反馈过程的微观物理实现并不清楚。甚至活动星系核反馈的提出者(Silk)也对其有效性提出质疑。利用星系的观测数据重新考虑了活动星系核的反馈过程,检验了活动星系核反馈的有效性。收集了一个包括29个星系的样本,通过样本星系的观测数据对它们的势场和由动量反馈而致的气体壳层在势场中的运动做了更准确的研究,发现绝大多数星系的动量反馈是有效的。     

存在两类Seyfert 2型星系?(英文)

本文简要介绍了在活动星系核 (Seyfert星系 )统一模型研究领域的研究结果。最近的研究结果表明Seyfert1和 2型星系的差别不仅仅是视线方向上的不同 ,星系的环境、演化、星系核的活动等在活动星系核的统一模型中都起着非常重要的作用。最新的观测和理论研究发现Seyfert 2型星系中宽线区存在和星系核的活动密切相关。在一些核活动较低的Seyfert 2型星系中 ,宽线区很可能不存在 ,即可能存在所谓的“真正”的Seyfert 2型星系。     

河外H2O超脉泽源及与其相关的分子谱线的观测和研究

自从在活动星系核NGC4945的视线方向上发现第一个河外H2O超脉泽源以来，迄今为止已发现了19个河外H2O超脉泽源，对与活动星系核成协和河外H2O超脉泽源及分子谱线的观测和研究是探测和研究活动星系核核区中央源，拱核气体和尘埃环性质的非常有效的工具，主要评述对河外H2O超脉泽源及与其相关分子谱线的搜索，观测和理论研究现状。     

Seyfert 2型星系中的星暴活动

星暴和活动星系核之间的联系是活动星系研究领域最重要、最活跃的研究课题之一。Seyfert星系由于距离较近、数目较多和相对低的核活动,已成为研究星暴和活动星系核之间联系的理想天体。综述了活动星系核中存在星暴的观测证据和Seyflert2型星系核区星暴活动的最新研究结果,着重讨论了存在两类Seyflert2型星系(一类是被遮挡的Seyfert1型星系,另一类是“真正”的Seyfert2型星系即不存在宽线区的Seyfert2型星系)的可能性．通过比较具有和不具有偏振宽线的Seyflert2型星系在红外、射电、光学和X射线光谱性质的差别,发现具有偏振宽线的Seyfert2型星系在本质上和Seyflert1型星系是同一类天体,差别只在于观测者视线方向的不同;而不具有偏振宽线的Seyfert2型星系是一些星系核活动较弱而星暴活动占主导的天体,这些星系从射电、红外、光学到硬X射线,都具有和星暴星系相似的性质。由于这些星系中核的吸积率将比Seyflert1型星系低近两个量级,因而它们很有可能是一些没有宽发射线区的Seyfert2型星系,即所谓的“真正”Seyflert2型星系。

The Galactic magnetic field as spectrograph for ultra-high energy cosmic rays

We study the influence of the regular component of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) on the arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We find that, if the angular resolution of current experiments has to be fully exploited, deflections in the GMF cannot be neglected even for E = 10²⁰ eV protons, especially for trajectories along the Galactic plane or crossing the Galactic center region. On the other hand, the GMF could be used as a spectrograph to discriminate among different source models and/or primaries of UHECRs, if its structure would be known with sufficient precision. We compare several GMF models introduced in the literature and discuss for the example of the AGASA data set how the significance of small-scale clustering or correlations with given astrophysical sources are affected by the GMF. We point out that the non-uniform exposure to the extragalactic sky induced by the GMF should be taken into account estimating the significance of potential (auto-) correlation signals.

X-ray bursts from the source A1742-294 in the Galactic-center region

We present observations of the X-ray burster A1742-294 near the Galactic center with the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory. The shape of its persistent spectra was described well by the model of bremsstrahlung from optically thin plasma, and it remained essentially unchanged over ～2.5 years of observations. We show that the mean interval between X-ray bursts from the source is several times shorter than assumed previously and that the burst profile itself depends on the flux during the burst. We analyze in detail the strong X-ray burst detected from this source on October 18, 1990, and construct the evolution curves of its luminosity and radiation temperature.     

Cosmic rays from the galactic center

We examine the possibility that recent data on cosmic ray anisotropies presented by the AGASA group may lead to the conclusion that our Galactic Center is a major source of the highest energy cosmic rays in our galaxy. We discuss how such a source would contribute to the magnitude and directional properties of the observed flux when measured against a background of extragalactic cosmic rays. We do this using the results of previous propagation calculations and our own more recent calculations which are specifically for a Galactic Center source.We find that the AGASA data can indeed be plausibly interpreted in this way and also that an argument can be made that the Galactic Center has the appropriate physical properties for acceleration to energies of the order of 10¹⁸ eV. We show that data from the SUGAR array are compatible with the AGASA result.     

Kinematic parameters of the galactic spiral pattern from data on open star clusters and OB stars

Data on the positions, radial velocities, and proper motions of open star clusters and OB stars are used to obtain the rotation curve of the Galaxy fitted by a polynomial in inverse powers of the distances from the Galactic rotation axis. We determine the locations of the corotation region and the inner and outer Lindblad resonances using a previously estimated pattern speed. Based on data for objects of the Carina-Sagittarius and Orion arms, we have determined the distortion amplitudes of the velocity field of the Galactic disk, ?_R = ?3.97±4.79 km s^?1 and f_θ=+13.27±2.57 km s^?1.     

The generation of a large-scale Galactic magnetic field by electric currents of energetic particles

We consider the generation of a magnetic field in the Galaxy by the electric currents excited by cosmic-ray particles in the disk and halo. We assume that the sources of relativistic particles are distributed continuously and uniformly in the Galactic disk, their total power is equal to the observed value, and the particles themselves undergo anisotropic diffusion in a homogeneous medium. We take into account the differential rotation of the Galactic disk but disregard the turbulence gyrotropy (the α effect). The strength of the generated magnetic field in our model is shown to strongly depend on the symmetry of the relativistic proton and thermal electron diffusion tensors, as well as on the relations between the tensor components. In particular, if the diffusion is isotropic, then no magnetic field is generated. For the independent tensor components estimated from observed parameters of the Galactic medium and with a simultaneous allowance made for the turbulent field dissipation processes, the mechanism under consideration can provide an observable magnetic-field strength of the order of several microgauss. This mechanism does not require any seed magnetic field, which leads us to suggest that relativistic particles can give an appreciable and, possibly, determining contribution to the formation of the global Galactic magnetic field. However, a final answer can be obtained only from a nonlinear self-consistent treatment, in which the symmetry and magnitude of the particle diffusion tensor components should be determined together with the calculation of the magnetic field.     

The power of imaging spectroscopy

I demonstrate with examples from the Galactic centre the astronomical potency of imaging spectroscopy, derived by scanning a slit across a portion of sky to produce a data cube with one spectral and two spatial dimensions.     

逆康普顿散射对中等银纬区银河弥漫γ射线的贡献

使用最近期的ＧＲＯ库中ＥＧＲＥＴ的γ射线数据，研究了逆康普顿散射对中等银纬区银河弥漫γ射线的贡献。采用了两种分析方法：其一为本文的新分析方法，其中银河宇宙与星际气体相互作用的γ射线的发射率ｑ／４π由γ射线数据本身确定；其二为通常的分析方法，即ｑ／４π由使用了局部银河宇宙线强度的观测值的理论估计给出。通过分析，我们获得了两种方法中逆康普顿散射的贡献与能量的依赖关系。结果表明，逆康普顿散射的贡献是大的。
