印、澳板块边界分布与GPS资料用于对2004年Sumatra-Andaman岛地壳破裂测地学机制的再讨论

基于作者此前对印度尼西亚苏门答腊-安达曼岛地震测地学机制的讨论，进一步根据McCloskey等人应用的INDI板块与AUST板块之间大致呈SW（≈S5）-NE（≈N2）走向的板块边界划分模型，利用GPS站速度资料，估计了沿整个苏门答腊-尼科巴岛地壳破裂带INDI板块与Burma／SEEURA板块之间的板块聚敛率，并与基于NUVEL-1A模型的INDI、AUST板块边界的分布所估计的AUST板块与Burma／SEEURA板块问聚敛率结果作了比较；根据2004年印尼苏门答腊-安达曼岛地壳破裂特征，对该地壳破裂的测地学机制作了进一步讨论，认为基于NUVEL-1A模型的INDI、AUST板块边界分布条件下地壳破裂的测地学机制讨论和2004年主震由AUST板块运动触发的结论可能更符合2004年地壳破裂事件的观测结论。目前的Burma微板块的欧拉旋转参数可能不适合用于对该次地壳破裂事件的测地学估计和机制的讨论；INDI、AUST板块间的相对运动是这两者板块间造山带的主要动力源。     

以基线长度变化率为约束估算VLBI站的垂直形变率

基于NNR-NUVEL-1A地球板块运动模型和ITRF2000地球参考架的三维VLBI站速度矢量,采用实测的VLBI基线长度变化率作为约束,重新估计了部分国际VLBI站的局部或区域性地壳的垂直形变,并与国际地球参考架ITRFs解和VLBI全球解GLB2003,VTRF2003和VTRF2005的结果进行了比较。结果表明,欧亚板块的URUMQI站和太平洋板块的KWAJAL26站,南极OHIGGINS站的垂直形变率、ITRFs解和VLBI全球解存在6-15mm/a的差异,北美YUMA站可能有15-31mm/a 的垂直形变率,而美国西部太平洋板块的San Francisco(PRESIDIO)站的垂直形变率还有待进一步的研究。此外,SC-VLBA,CRIMEA和EFLSBERG站的垂直形变率、ITRFs解和VLBI全球解的差约为1-6mm/a。用不同方法得到的VLBI站的水平形变率解有较好的一致性。

Possible Ionospheric Electromagnetic Perturbations Induced by the Ms7.1 Yushu Earthquake

The power spectrum density (PSD) of magnetic field in the ELF/VLF band recorded by the experiment IMSC onboard the DEMETER satellite were used to study the Ms7.1 Yushu earthquake taking place on April 13, 2010 in China. The results indicate that possible ionospheric electromagnetic perturbations occurring 4?days before the earthquake in the frequency range [370–897?Hz]. Along the orbit 30880_up, which passed over the epicenter area on 9 April, enhanced PSD value of magnetic field at 410?Hz was detected both over the epicentral area and its conjugate point in the southern hemisphere. While on revisited orbits during other days (before and after the earthquake) the magnetic field spectra remained at a relatively low level. In order to be sure that the electromagnetic disturbances were induced by this Yushu earthquake, relative variations of the magnetic field in the ELF/VLF range [370–897?Hz] were calculated and compared with the normal background during 3?years (2007, 2008 and 2009) in the time interval from Jan. 1st to Apr. 30 and in the area [23°N–43°N, 86°E–106°E]. The results show that the normal level of magnetic field in this area is relatively low (~10^?7?nT²/Hz), but a large increase occurred from Apr. 1st to Apr. 14 which exceeds 5σ_b. After the earthquake, the magnetic field in the ELF/VLF range gradually decreased. In order to exclude the influence of geomagnetic field activity, we selected only the data recorded during magnetically quiet local night-times. In addition, artificial noises were also removed from the dataset used in the present paper. Therefore the observed perturbations were independent of geomagnetic field disturbances, and might be attributed to seismic activity.     

A Possible Mechanism of Superrotation of the Atmosphere of Venus

A hypothesis is proposed for the mechanism of superrotation of the atmosphere of Venus involving the following processes. Winds near the planet's surface, making up part of the Hadley cell, flow past the surface relief and excite internal atmospheric gravity waves. While moving upward, these waves become unstable and collapse generating turbulent eddies. Some portion of the energy of these eddies is transferred to a two-dimensional flow, which is maintained also at the expense of instability of large-scale motions. In this flow, the inverse energy cascade (transition from smaller eddies to larger eddies), or negative viscosity, appears as a key element of this mechanism. Large-scale quasi-two-dimensional turbulent eddies transfer their energy to Rossby planetary waves which, in turn, transmit it to a zonal flow. Based on this hypothesis and the existing experimental data, the time period over which superrotation is established, as well as the vertical and horizontal eddy viscosity coefficients, is estimated. In parallel, arguments in favor of the proposed hypothesis are obtained.     

A Possible Pumping Mechanism for Interstellar Class Ⅱ 107 GHz Methanol Masers

It is recognized that the interstellar methanol-107 GHz masers and OH-4.765 GHz masers towards Class Ⅱ sources are associated with each other and coexist towards ultracompact HⅡ regions. Therefore we suggest a new pumping mechanism-methanol masers without population inversion. It can explain the formation of 107GHz methanol masers, with the 4.765GHz OH masers acting as a driving coherent microwave field. It is argued that this mechanism is compatible with the astronomical conditions.

太阳短厘米波爆发中双重准周期脉动现象产生的可能机制

1990年5月23日0400—0451UT期间在遥隔两地的南大天文台与北师大天文台和北京天文台用时间分辨率1s和10ms分别在波长3.2cm、2cm和10.6cm上进行了太阳射电爆发的同时观测.发现了短厘米波爆发中的双重准周期脉动现象.本文根据这些观测资料连同S.G.D.发表的有关射电、光学和软X射线(SXR)耀斑等数据,提出了一个在耀(斑)环内非热与热辐射过程中由于相互作用而触发Alfven波和快磁声波的振荡模型,用来解释太阳短厘米波爆发中相关性很强的双重准周期脉动的起因和观测特征,并由此计算出爆发源区的平均物理参量T,N,B值。

Possible orbits for a third star in the Sirius system

A number of possible sightings of a third star in the Sirius system were reported in the 1920s. Astrometric observations have recently ruled out the presence of a very close companion to either Sirius A or B; however, a third star could exist at large distances. The stability of possible orbits of such a third star was investigated and it was found that the shortest stable orbital period is 275 years.
