The “Same Side – Opposite Side Effect” of the Heliospheric Current Sheet in Ionospheric Negative Storms

Using 141 CME-interplanetary shock (CME-IPS) events and foF2 from eight ionosonde stations from January 2000 to September 2005, from the statistical results we find that there is a “same side?–?opposite side effect” in ionospheric negative storms, i.e., a large portion of ionospheric negative disturbances are induced by the same-side events (referring to the CMEs whose source located on the same side of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) as the Earth), while only a small portion is associated with the opposite-side events (the CMEs source located on the opposite side of the HCS as the Earth); the ratio is 128 vs. 46, and it reaches 41 vs. 14 for the intense ionospheric negative storms. In addition, the ionospheric negative storms associated with the same-side events are often more intense. A comparison of the same-side event (4 April 2000) and the opposite-side event (2 April 2001) shows that the intensity of the ionospheric negative storm caused by the same-side event is higher than that by the opposite-side event, although their initial conditions are quite similar. Our preliminary results show that the HCS has an “impeding” effect to CME-IPS, which results in a shortage of energy injection in the auroral zone and restraining the development of ionospheric negative perturbations.     

On some applications of invariant manifolds

Taking transfer orbits of a collinear libration point probe, a lunar probe and an interplanetary probe as examples, some applications of stable and unstable invariant manifolds of the restricted three-body problem are discussed. Research shows that transfer energy is not necessarily conserved when invariant manifolds are used. For the cases in which the transfer energy is conserved, the cost is a much longer transfer time.     

Formation flying in elliptic orbits with the J2 perturbation

Relative dynamics between the chief satellite and the deputy ones in formation flying is crucial to maintaining the formation. A good choice of the formation usually requires a lower control frequency or less control energy. For formation flying missions in highly elliptic orbits, the well-known C-W equation is not accurate enough. Instead, Lawden’s equation is often used. First, the solution to Lawden’s equation with a very simple form is deduced. Then the J2 perturbation is added. It is found that Lawden’s solution is not necessarily valid when the J2 perturbation is considered. Completely discarding Lawden’s solution and borrowing the idea of mean orbit elements, two rules to initialize the formation are proposed. The deviation speed is greatly reduced. Different from previous studies on the J2 perturbation, except for the relatively simple expression for the semi-major axis, the tedious formulae of the long period terms and the short period terms of other orbital elements are not used. In addition, the deviation speed is further reduced by compensation of the nonlinear effects. Finally, a loose control strategy of the formation is proposed. To test the robustness of this strategy, a third body perturbation is added in numerical simulations.     

江西萍乡杨家湾2号洞哺乳动物化石及其时代探讨

2015年11月和2016年10月先后对杨家湾2号洞化石点进行发掘。目前已出土哺乳动物化石1000多件,主要为单个牙齿化石,骨骼较少且较为破碎。初步鉴定出31个哺乳动物属种,其中偶蹄类数量最为丰富,野猪所占比例最大;灵长类和食肉类较为丰富;啮齿类、长鼻类及奇蹄类较少;尚未发现食虫类和翼手类。大部分属种为现生类群,少量灭绝属种如巴氏大熊猫、东方剑齿象及华南巨貘等。从动物群组成来看,该动物群与杨家湾1号洞、湖南道县福岩洞等动物群较为相似,属于我国南方典型的晚更新世大熊猫-剑齿象动物群,但是其所包含的动物属种相对后两个化石点都较少,尤其是小哺乳动物属种单调。杨家湾2号洞的堆积物颗粒比1号洞的较粗,且含较多角砾,缺少红色粘土;据初步判断,该洞的堆积物是由洞口进入。动物群组合指示该地区晚更新世气候较为温暖湿润。

     

渤海湾北岸TZ02孔晚新生代沉积环境演化过程

渤海湾北岸晚新生代沉积环境和沉积体系不仅是区域水文地质、工程地质的基础,也为古近纪沉积模式提供“将今论古”的依据。本文依据沉积物色度和粒度,以及沉积物岩性、结构和构造等,将渤海湾北岸TZ02孔划分了6个沉积组合、4个沉积阶段：1）2.10~3.22Ma,沉积组合Ⅰ和Ⅱ,湖盆填充期,发育湖相-泛滥平原相或湖相-曲流河相,该时期处于构造稳定期,干冷气候时期发育河流相、泛滥平原相,湿润气候时期发育湖泊相。2）1.33~2.10Ma,沉积组合Ⅲ,湖盆开始发育期,主要为浅湖相,仅有少量砂体,下部多有机质,上部多钙质淀积结核,指示了盆山之间的构造分异后,湖泊初始发育的特征。3）0.62~1.33Ma,沉积组合Ⅳ,湖盆扩张期,以湖相为主,多砂体,且有短期湖泊水位变浅和成陆过程;指示了盆山构造分异后,盆地加速沉降,湖盆扩张;山体隆起、河流下切,盆地中湖相砂体增多;此时TZ02孔附近为湖相中心,BG10孔为湖泊边缘。4）0~0.62Ma,沉积组合Ⅴ和Ⅵ,湖泊填充期,BG10孔为湖相的沉积中心,而TZ02孔为湖泊的边缘,接受滦河迁移摆动后的沉积物;中更新世后,构造沉降形成湖相,而间冰期发育海相,埋深0~22.5m的海相-河流相更直接地反映了末次冰消期海平面变化过程。

     

A new theoretical solution of the effect of atmospheric pressure on water level

Based on the partial differential equation governing the effect of atmospheric pressure on water level of confined well, deriving the boundary condition and considering the seepage water between well and aquifer, the author obtained the analytical solution of water level change in time domain under the action of an atmospheric pressure history with the Laplace transform method. This solution is composed of two terms:stable and retarded terms. The stable term is the multiplication of barometric efficiency and simultaneous atmospheric pressure, and it implies the value of water level after infinite time when the atmospheric pressure is a constant from the time in question. The retarded term is the transient process due to the time lag of water exchange between well and aquifer. From the solution, it is obtained that the interference of atmospheric pressure on water level is the integral superimposition of the contribution of all atmospheric pressure changes before the time in question. So that, we further found out the response function of pulsive atmospheric pressure history. Calculation shows: (1) The pulsive response function starts from zero and tends to a steady value, which is proportional to the barometric efficiency, when the time tends to infinity; (2) The retarded time depends on the mechanical property of aquifer and the radius of well. The larger the seepage coefficient, the smaller the radius of well and the thicker the aquifer, then the shorter the retarded time gets. This solution can be used as the theoretical basis for further analysis of the atmospheric effect and practical correcting method in the future.

Triassic alkaline intrusives in the Yanliao-Yinshan area: their chronology, Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic characteristics and their implication

Dated isotopic ages for 15 alkaline intrusives in the Yanliao-Yinshan area, ranging from 268 to 190 Ma, ten of which are from 250 to 208 Ma, indicate that most of them were formed in the Triassic Epoch. All the E_Nd(t) ratios from - 17.19 to -3.21 averaging -7.09, the E_Sr(t) ratios fmm 11.7 to71.5 averaging 36.63, and the I_sr(t) ratios from 0.705 0 to 0.709 3 averaging 0.706 8, show their characteristics of enrichment. On the E_Nd (t) virus E_Sr(t) correlation diagram, the samples from these intmsives were plotted within the enriched mantle trend lines and just outside, demonstrating their close connection to materials from the enriched mantle reservoir, taking into account the same Pb isotopic composition as that of the mantle.
