Investigating variable stars in the open cluster NGC 1912 and its surrounding field

In this work,we studied the variable stars in the open cluster NGC 1912 based on the photometric observations and Gaia DR2 data.More than 3600 CCD frames in B,V,R filters were reduced,and we obtained the light curves that span about 63 hours.By analyzing these light curves,we detected 24 variable stars,including 16 periodic variable stars,seven eclipsing binaries and one star whose type is unclear.Among these 24 variable stars,11 are newly discovered,which are classified as sixγDoradus stars,oneδScuti star,three detached binaries and one contact binary.We also confirmed 13 previously known variable stars.Based on cluster members identified by Cantat-Gaudin et al.(2018),we inferred cluster memberships for these detected variable stars.Using Gaia DR2 data,we plotted a new color-magnitude diagram for NGC1912,and showed the nature of variable cluster members in kinematical properties and heliocentric distance.Among the 24 variable stars,seven variables are probable cluster members,which show homogeneity in kinematic characters and space position with the established cluster members.Four of the seven variable cluster members are the previously discovered stars,consisting of twoγDor stars and twoδSct stars.The remaining three variable cluster members,which are allγDor stars,are firstly detected in this work.The main physical parameters of these variable cluster members estimated from the color-magnitude diagram are log(age/yr)=8.75,[Fe/H]=-0.1,m-M=10.03 mag,and E(B-V)=0.307.     

Vertical variations and composition of dissolved free amino acid in the seawater of the Yap Trench in the western Pacific Ocean

The composition and concentration of dissolved free amino acid (DFAA) of seawater samples collected in May 2016 from the surface to the hadal zone of the northern region of the Yap Trench were analyzed by pre-column derivatization of o-phthalaldehyde. Results show that the average concentration of DFAA in the study area was 0.47±0.36 µmol/L. In different sampling stations, the concentrations of DFAA with water depth showed complex variation patterns. At the sediment-seawater interface, the concentrations of DFAA in the western side of the trench were obviously higher than that in its eastern side. In the study area, there were no significant correlations between the concentrations of DFAA and the environmental parameters such as concentrations of chlorophyll a (Chl a), dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), indicating that the concentrations of DFAA in seawater of the trench are affected by many factors, such as photosynthesis, respiration, temperature, pressure, illumination, and circulation. The dominant DFAA are similar in different water layers of sampling stations, including aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu), glycine (Gly), and serine (Ser). The composition of different amino acids, and the relative abundance of acidic, basic, and neutral amino acids might be related to the sources and consumption of various amino acids. Nine pairs of amino acids in the DFAA showed significantly positive relationship by correlation matrix analysis, suggesting that they might share similar biogeochemical processes. The degradation index (DI) of the DFAA in seawater of the Yap Trench could reflect the degradation, source, and freshness of DFAA in the trench to some extents. This is a preliminary study of amino acids from sea surface to hadal zone in the ocean, more works shall be done in different trenches to reveal their biogeochemical characteristics in extreme marine environments.

<正> 万家寨水库位于黄河北干流上游段,坝型为混凝土重力坝,坝高约90米,总库容约9.7亿立方米。从五十年代起直到八十年代初,几个单位对本工程曾相继进行了大量地质勘察工作,并对其作过初步设计。三十年来,各家一致认为万家寨水库不存在永久性岩溶渗漏。本文就此问题谈一点认识,不妥之处,欢迎批评指正。      

羌塘地块东南部上三叠统巴贡组软沉积变形特征及其意义

羌塘地块东南部巴青、索县一带,在上三叠统巴贡组内发育大量未固结状态下发生的软沉积变形。其形态特征主要表现为枕状、球状、链状以及卷曲状,在平面较大范围内均有发现,纵向上密集分布,100余米长的扎德改剖面中发育有7层明显的软沉积变形构造。经过详细地变形特征描述与比对,认为这些软沉积变形主要是与地震振动相关的震积岩,部分变形清晰地显示出受伸展背景的控制。震积岩是软沉积物对古构造活动的记录,研究区内巴贡组震积岩的密集发育表明巴贡组沉积期区域构造活动强烈,对比晚三叠世早期地层中震积岩的发育状况,发现构造活动在诺利中晚期更加强烈,与羌塘地块中晚三叠世火山岩的年代呼应。     

鄂尔多斯东部下二叠统山西组2段储层评价及勘探前景

针对鄂尔多斯东部下二叠统山西组2段低渗透油气藏的特点,通过高分辨率层序地层的划分对比,将研究区山2段划分为3个长期旋回。结合425块薄片观察、扫描电镜、阴极发光等储层微观特征分析研究,认为山2段是一套在岸线背景下具有强侵蚀作用的远源砂质辫状河沉积,受物源分异和水动力条件控制,榆林、神木、府谷3条河流的沉积储集特征差异明显,榆林河河道砂体为一套具有石英含量高、杂基和软岩屑含量较低、几乎不含长石的石英砂岩,储层的储集空间主要是以粒间孔为主的复合型孔隙,具有良好的储集性;神木和府谷河河道砂体与之相反,为石英含量低、杂基和软岩屑含量高、普遍含少量长石的岩屑石英砂岩,储层储集性差,仅见少量粒内溶孔。成岩演化分析认为山2段储层进入晚成岩B期,此期压实、压溶作用已非常强烈,榆林地区由于烃类的早期充注才使大量原生孔隙得以保存。通过对山2段储层沉积成岩演化分析,总结了石英砂岩与岩屑石英砂岩沉积储层特征的差异,预测出鄂尔多斯东部下步勘探方向即以榆林气田为代表的榆林河沉积区山2段高渗透石英砂岩发育的河道砂体。

滦县地磁场井下观测系统抗干扰效果

近距离铁磁性物质干扰(农田耕作、基建等)、直流供电干扰(高压直流输电、地电阻率观测等)是地磁场地面观测的主要干扰方式。在滦县地震台布设地磁场井下观测系统,检验井下观测的抗干扰效果,结果发现,地磁场井下观测可抑制近距离铁磁性物质干扰,但无法抑制直流供电干扰(可通过避让一定距离解决),该分析结果为未来地震监测手段的选取提供技术参考指标和依据。     

基于DPSIR模型的地下水饮用水源地安全评价指标体系研究

为系统客观的评价地下水饮用水源地的安全状态,基于“驱动力-压力-状态-影响-响应”(DPSIR)框架初步建立备选评价指标,运用专家咨询法对备选指标进行筛选及合理性检验,采用层次分析法确定指标权重,构建地下水饮用水源地安全度综合评价体系。以滹沱河浅层孔隙水水源地为例,确定了包含5个准则层,18个指标的地下水饮用水源地安全评价指标体系。滹沱河浅层孔隙水水源地实例研究表明,准则层中压力系统和状态系统所占权重较大,分别为0.257和0.339;水源地安全度为0.67,尽管处于较安全级别,但非常接近警戒值(0.4~0.6)。通过实例分析可知,筛选的指标具有一定的实用性,可以为评价浅层孔隙水水源地的安全状态及面临的风险提供参考。     

Helium-argon isotopic tracing for the Pb-Zn-Ag polymetallic ore deposits in the central-south segment of the Da Hinggan Ling Range

In recent years big strides have been made in the exploration of ores in the central-south segment of the Da Hinggan Ling Range, though some debates still exist on the metallogenesis and sources of ore-forming materials. Pyrite and other sulfides in direct relation to the Pb-Zn-Ag ore deposits were chosen for the He and Ar isotopic analysis of ore-forming fluids, and the first He and Ar isotope data have been obtained from the study region. ^3He/^4He ratios in 14 samples collected from 7 mining districts are 2.17×10^-6-12.52×10^-6, averaging 6.86×10^-6 and their R/Ra ratios are 1.56-9.01 Ra, averaging 4.37 Ra. By projecting the data points onto the ^3He-^4He concentrations diagram, all the points fall near the mantle helium area. The calculated mantle-source helium ratios are within the range of 19.58%-76.96%, with an average of 49.52%. Argon isotopic characteristics are close to those of mantle source, indicating that the ore-forming material was transport upwards via the multi-stage evolution of mantle plume and concentrated as ores in the favorable loci of mantle branch structures.
