Superhumps in a Peculiar SU Ursae Majoris-Type Dwarf Nova, ER Ursae Majoris

We report the photometry of a peculiar SU Ursae Majoris-type dwarf nova, ER Ursae Majoris, for 10 nights during 1998 December and 1999 March, covering a complete rise to the supermaximum and a normal outburst cycle. Superhumps have been found during the rise to the superoutburst. A negative superhump appeared in the December 22 light curve, while the superhump on the next night became positive and had a large-amplitude waveform distinct from that of the previous night. In the normal outbursts we captured, superhumps with larger or smaller amplitudes seem to always exist, although it is not necessarily true for every normal outburst. These results show great resemblance to V1159 Ori. It is more likely that superhumps occasionally exist at essentially all phases of the eruption cycles of ER UMa stars, which should be considered in modeling.     

西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地块瓦拉沃纳群塔尔加—塔尔加亚群的Sm-Nd法年龄测定

Sm-Nd年龄测定方法的新近应用,导致对许多太古宙变火成岩岩套已成功又合理地测定出火成岩结晶作用的精确时间。在火成岩处于亚固相蚀变和变质作用过程中,Sm和Nd似乎并未出现不稳定性状,而对这些岩石采用Rb-Sr法和Pb-Pb法测定年代往往是无效的。皮尔巴拉地块太古宙花岗岩-绿岩岩层的下部变质火山岩系(瓦拉沃纳 Warrawoona群)近来首次得出确实的年龄为34.52±16(2σ)Ma,它是由Pidgeon(1978)测定     

P／T之交一个大量缺氧的分层洋的发育及其水体的短暂大规模混合作…

通过研究日本丹波地体Ｓａｓａｙａｍａ剖面和秩父地体Ｔｅｎｊｉｎｍａｒｕ剖面，获得了全岩硫化物的系统硫同位素资料。这两条剖面跨越Ｐ／Ｔ界线，以燧石为主、为连续远洋沉积层序。Ｐ／Ｔ界线以硅质页岩和黑色碳质泥岩组合为特征，黑色碳质泥岩外貌与世界广布的Ｋ／Ｔ界线粘土岩相似。     

滑坡的分形特征

巨型滑坡的滑动块体具有分形特征。其宽度分维数平均为１．２４长度分维娄秋１．４４。我们所获得的有限资料表明分九与基岩地质条件无关。主要根据滑坡块体的大小，巨型滑坡可以分为一级滑块、二级滑块和三级滑块。二级和三级滑块坡体也具有特定的分维数。没扮形特片可以由以下两方面解释：１）自相似性几何形状和２）二级和三级滑块组合产生的特定的分维数。     

Wintertime stratospheric anomalies— Part II: Sudden warmings

The process of stratospheric sudden warmings from development of planetary waves to the sudden cooling after reversal of mean zonal circulation will be studied with the primitive equations of heat and momentum balances. It will be explained that the sudden warmings may occur only in the polar regions of winter stratosphere where zonal mean temperature decreases poleward. The heating rate in the order of major warmings is produced by developed planetary waves in the stratospheric breaking layers. The particular perturbation structure characterized by large amplitude of wave 1 together with minimum of wave 2 discovered by Labitzke (1977) is crucial for initiation of major warmings. The cooling by the same mechanism can be produced in the regions with reversed mean temperature gradient.     

日本九州南部石狩第四纪火山岩中高品位浅成低温热液脉状金矿床

石狩金银矿床位于日本九州鹿儿岛东北部,该矿床于1981年发现,地质及物探工作起了重要作用。经开采证实石狩矿床是太平洋西部的一个重金矿床。从1985年7月～1988年12月,总计开采了21.7t的金和14.3t的银,在本湖(Honko)矿带,估测矿石储量为1.4×10~6t(平均品位70g/t即98t金);在最近发现的山田(Yamada)矿带,估测矿石储量为2×10~6t(平均品位20～25g/t)。本矿区基底岩石是白垩系四万十(日本最清澈的一条河即Shimanto)超群沉积岩,覆盖层为第四纪火山岩。金矿床为石英—冰长石脉型,其中伴有金银矿、硒银矿—辉硒银矿、深红银矿和蒙脱石等。为了确定金的矿化时代,测定了含矿冰长石的K—Ar年龄为更新世(0.84±0.07～1.01±0.08Ma);气液包裹体研究表明基底岩中金的沉淀温度是210℃。其上覆火山岩中金的沉淀温度小于200℃;石英脉中δ~(18)O变化范围为8.8‰～6.8‰。高品位金矿化作用直接与绿泥石化和绢云母化作用有关。在石狩脉系上部50～100m处,有一个层状粘土矿物和石英—蒙脱石蚀变带。该蚀变带围饶矿化中心分布,形成近水平的强烈泥岩化层。蚀变带的外面由方石英—蒙脱石和一些未蚀变岩石所组成。由重力测量确定近地表构造,由重力高确定基底岩块隆起,施拉贝格(Schlumberger)电测深,有效地估计了基底埋藏深度和确认了电阻率的结构。而电阻率和激发极化测量,又指出了与矿化作用有关的热液蚀变带的分布。土壤中Hg、CO_2、Rn的地球化学测量,有效地追踪了断裂构造带。高品位的金矿化区位于本湖区的沉积岩和火山岩的不整合面上。高品位金的矿化作用由两个方面造成的。一方面,当高温热液上升,由于沸腾导致金的沉泛;另一方面,在不整合面附近,上升的地下高温热液与地下水相遇,使成矿热液温度迅速降低和发生氧化作用,有利于金的进一步沉淀。     

Large scale perturbations in extratropical atmosphere—Part I: On rossby waves

This study reexamines the propagation mechanism and geostrophic property of the classical two-dimensional Rossby waves in a non-divergent barotropic atmosphere. It will be found that propagation of large scale atmospheric waves depends crucially on horizontal divergence. A small Rossby number in Rossby waves is not sufficient for the waves to have a small ageostrophic component, because the two-dimensional classical Rossby waves do not manifest the geostrophic balance as good as observed in the atmosphere.     

地质扫描公司的AMSS MKI数据在澳大利亚昆士兰某地的岩性填图中的应用

在澳大利亚昆士兰州的Ravenswood地区,已经用地质扫描公司的机载多波段扫描仪(MKI)进行过岩性填图。由于地面的标定目标物具有不均匀性,因而,不能用将DN值与地面反射率值联系起来的线性回归法。相反,对数剩余值法(Green及Craig,1985)在将三个SWIR波段的DN值转换为一组数值(这些数值的波段间模式与地面反射率值的相似)时取得了成功。通过对这三个SWIR波段的“标定”值的线性组合,计算出了“明矾石指数”和“方解石指数”,用位于VNIR波长区的3波段和4波段数据生成了“垂直植被指数”图像,三个SWIR波段的HSI彩色变换是另外一种直观表示波段内响应模式的技术。用上述的技术都成功地圈出了区内的花岗闪长岩体中的绿帘石带和绢云母带。
