Investigation of the correlation between morphology and luminosity for two classes of main galaxies

Using an apparent-magnitude limited Main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7(SDSS DR7), we investigate the correlation between morphologies and luminosity for the Main galaxy sample. Our Main galaxy sample is divided into two classes: Main galaxies only with TARGET_GALAXY flag (bestPrimtarget = 64), and ones also with other flags. It is found that for the second class Main galaxies, the early-type proportion monotonously increases with increasing luminosity nearly in the whole luminosity region. But for the first class Main galaxies, the early-type proportion increases with increasing luminosity only within a certain luminosity region (−22.2 < M _r  < −19.8). In the high luminosity region (M _r  < −22.2), the early-type proportion of the first class Main galaxies even decreases dramatically with increasing luminosity. We also analyze the correlation between morphologies and luminosity of galaxies around the peak of the redshift distribution ( 0.07 ≤ z ≤ 0.08 ). In such a narrow redshift region, we still observe strong correlation between morphologies and luminosity, which shows that this correlation is fundamental.     

A GRB Follow-up System at the Xinglong Observatory and Detection of the High-Redshift GRB 060927

A gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical photometric follow-up system at the Xinglong Observatory of National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) has been constructed. It uses the 0.8-m Tsinghua-NAOC Telescope (TNT) and the 1-m EST telescope, and can au-tomatically respond to GRB Coordinates Network (GCN) alerts. Both telescopes slew rela-tively fast, being able to point to a new target field within ～ 1 min upon a request. Whenever available, the 2.16-m NAOC telescope is also used. In 2006 the system responded to 15 GRBs and detected seven early afterglows. In 2007 six GRBs have been detected among 18 follow-up observations. TNT observations of the second most distant GRB 060927 (z = 5.5) are shown, which started as early as 91 s after the GRB trigger. The afterglow was detected in the combined image of the first 19 × 20 s unfiltered exposures. This GRB follow-up system has joined the East-Asia GRB Follow-up Observation Network (EAFON).     

甘肃北山钨矿床时空分布、矿床类型及成矿动力学背景

甘肃北山造山带经历漫长而复杂的增生造山作用并于二叠纪发生碰撞造山,引发广泛的花岗质岩浆活动及相应的钨成矿作用。前人已对这些矿床的地质地球化学特征进行大量的研究,但在成矿动力学背景、成矿时代等方面仍存在着争议。基于此,本文在前人对甘肃北山钨矿床研究的基础上,通过详细的野外调研和室内综合研究,对该区钨矿床时空分布及地质、地球化学特征进行总结,并提出成矿动力学模型。甘肃北山钨矿床集中分布于星星峡—明水古微陆块周缘及双鹰山—花牛山岛弧,可以进一步厘定为两期成矿作用,即早期早志留世—中石炭世（439～362 Ma,322～314 Ma）岛弧碰撞拼贴引发古陆壳重熔,形成携带大量钨锡成矿元素的花岗质岩浆流体,最终上升至构造有利位置成矿,是北山钨锡多金属成矿的主成矿期,矿化类型多为石英脉型黑钨矿;晚期为早二叠世—中三叠世（286～226 Ma）后碰撞伸展诱发中酸性岩浆的大规模上侵及相关的钨钼矿化,矿化类型为矽卡岩型白钨矿及斑岩型钼（钨）矿,其中钨作为钼的伴生矿种出现。     

中天山基底与塔里木克拉通的构造亲缘性

中天山基底与塔里木克拉通的构造亲缘性问题涉及中亚大地构造单元的划分,倍受学术界关注.在诸多学者的研究基础上,特别是塔里木北缘物质成分和年代学成果基础上,通过区域地质调查,对托克逊县干沟与和静县阿拉沟两地的前南华纪地层序列及其岩石组合进行了专门研究,并筛选出4件浅变质砂岩样品做碎屑锆石U-Pb测年研究,获得165组年龄数据.结果表明,发育在中天山地区的前南华纪地层序列、岩石组合、地层接触关系、沉积环境与塔里木北缘的基本一致,可比性好,揭示了二者之间密切的构造亲缘性.其Th/U比值密集分布在0.4～4.0,表明岩浆锆石占绝大多数.锆石U-Pb测年产生了4个年龄峰值,分别为950Ma、1 550Ma、1 920Ma和2 480Ma,表明中天山较好地保存了元古代的4次重大构造-岩浆活动信息.这些年龄峰值在塔里木陆块均有对应岩浆体的发育,也与塔里木周缘的前寒武纪年龄谱吻合,进一步佐证了中天山基底与塔里木克拉通曾经是一个统一块体的认识.结合区域构造分析,认为中天山陆块是在南华纪以来,逐渐从塔里木克拉通拉张裂离出来的;伴随早古生代天山洋的俯冲,一个奥陶纪-志留纪火山弧发育在这个裂离的中天山陆块之上.     

广东河台整装勘查区百旁金矿成矿规律

百旁金矿是广东地质五队近年来新发现的一处中型蚀变糜棱岩型金矿。百旁金矿地处粤西—桂东成矿带东段NE向罗定—广宁断裂带北东端部位,矿体受糜棱岩带内面理、裂隙带控制;金矿化具明显的以硅化、硫化物为中心的对称性分布特征,金矿体具有平行斜列、侧伏的分布规律,表现为向NE向侧伏;区内金矿化富集主要与热液活动有关,燕山期的重熔花岗岩侵入的同时伴随有富含硫化物的含金热液充填在糜棱岩、断裂带内而成矿。     

水库水体二氧化碳分压研究进展

天然水体中存在同化二氧化碳(CO2)的光合作用,也存在释放CO2的微生物呼吸过程。地球表层水体与大气之间的CO2交换构成全球碳循环的一个重要环节。水-气之间CO2交换的方向和通量主要受大气圈和水体表层CO2分压(pCO2)的制约。水体pCO2值可以通过对近水面气体成分变化过程的现场仪器检测或者根据测定的水体化学参数运用经验公式计算求得。迄今对陆地水体,尤其河流筑坝形成的"蓄水河流"(下称水库)水体CO2动态研究中,由于水域及其近表层大气成分的时空多变,一般采用水化学参数计算方法求得水体的pCO2值。全球约70.97%的水库表层水体pCO2高于大气pCO2。全球尺度上水库表层水体pCO2自热带向寒温带逐渐递减;单个水库水体的pCO2一般呈现"出库>入库>库中"、pCO2随深度而增加的变化规律。水库表层水体pCO2的时间变化一般表现为"冬季>夏季、消融期>冰冻期、黑夜>白天"。水库水体的pCO2是其水化学平衡的结果,受水温、水体pH、水生生物活动以及外来水体的混合等多种因素影响,变化较为复杂。为精确量化水库水-气界面CO2交换通量,水文学、湖沼学、生态学和地球化学等领域的学者有必要合作,共同努力进行水库流域尺度的实地观测,完善水体溶解无机碳计算模型,深入探讨水库水体碳动力学机制,为全球碳循环研究和气候变化预测提供可靠的基础数据。     

Ore Genesis and Tectonic Significance of the Xiaojiashan Tungsten Deposit,Eastern Tianshan,Xinjiang, China: Evidence from Geology,Fluid Inclusions,and Stable Isotope Geochemistry

The Xiaojiashan tungsten deposit is located about 200 km northwest of Hami City, the Eastern Tianshan orogenic belt, Xinjiang, northwestern China, and is a quartz vein‐type tungsten deposit. Combined fluid inclusion microthermometry, host rock geochemistry, and H–O isotopic compositions are used to constrain the ore genesis and tectonic setting of the Xiaojiashan tungsten deposit. The orebodies occur in granite intrusions adjacent to the metamorphic crystal tuff, which consists of the second lithological section of the first Sub‐Formation of the Dananhu Formation (D₂d ₁²). Biotite granite is the most widely distributed intrusive bodies in the Xiaojiashan tungsten deposit. Altered diorite and metamorphic crystal tuff are the main surrounding rocks. The granite belongs to peraluminous A‐type granite with high potassic calc‐alkaline series, and all rocks show light Rare Earth Element (REE)‐enriched patterns. The trace element characters suggest that crystallization differentiation might even occur in the diagenetic process. The granite belongs to postcollisional extension granite, and the rocks formed in an extensional tectonic environment, which might result from magma activity in such an extensional tectonic environment. Tungsten‐bearing quartz veins are divided into gray quartz vein and white quartz veins. Based on petrography observation, fluid inclusions in both kinds of vein quartz are mainly aqueous inclusions. Microthermometry shows that gray quartz veins have 143–354°C of T_h, and white quartz veins have 154–312°C of T_h. The laser‐Raman test shows that CO₂ is found in fluid inclusions of the tungsten‐bearing quartz veins. Quadrupole mass spectrometry reveals that fluid inclusions contain major vapor‐phase contents of CO₂, H₂O. Meanwhile, fluid inclusions contain major liquid‐phase contents of Cl^?, Na⁺. It can be speculated that the ore‐forming fluid of the Xiaojiashan tungsten deposit is characterized by an H₂O–CO₂, low salinity, and H₂O–CO₂–NaCl system. The range of hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions indicated that the ore‐forming fluids of the tungsten deposit were mainly magmatic water. The ore‐forming age of the Xiaojiashan deposit should to be ~227 Ma. During the ore‐forming process, the magmatic water had separated from magmatic intrusions, and the ore‐bearing complex was taken to a portion where tungsten‐bearing ores could be mineralized. The magmatic fluid was mixed by meteoric water in the late stage.     

富磷矿三阶段动态成矿模式:黔中开阳式高品位磷矿成矿机制

震旦系陡山沱组沉积期形成的黔中开阳、瓮安富磷矿沉积区,矿石产量大、品位高,是国内外重要的磷矿资源产区。黔中磷矿主要分布于黔中古陆周缘的滨浅海环境中,矿石类型以碎屑状磷块岩为主,间夹原生泥晶磷块岩、生物结构磷块岩和次生土状结构磷块岩。开阳式高品位磷块岩的动态沉积成矿过程通常为“三阶段成矿”: 第一阶段为初始成磷作用阶段,在新元古代大规模成磷背景下,上升洋流携带深部富磷海水进入滨浅海地区,并通过生物化学作用使磷质聚集并形成原生磷块岩沉积;第二阶段为簸选成矿作用阶段,高能波浪、风暴水流对原生磷块岩持续的破碎、磨蚀、搬运和再沉积过程中,簸选去除了原生沉积物中的陆源细碎屑、砂泥质成分,保留并聚集磷质碎屑颗粒,形成品位较高的碎屑状矿石;第三阶段为淋滤作用阶段,海平面升降变化使之前形成矿石受暴露事件影响,遭受强烈的风化淋滤作用,碎屑状磷矿石内的碳酸盐岩胶结物和白云石条带被淋滤运移,导致矿层发育大量溶蚀孔洞,甚至形成土状磷块岩,矿石品位再次得到大幅度提升。三阶段成矿作用随古地理条件和海平面变化在沉积成岩过程中多期次、动态进行,最终形成工业价值极高的磷矿石。
