The Shakhtama porphyry Mo ore-magmatic system (eastern Transbaikalia): age,sources, and genetic features

Two intrusive complexes are recognized at the Shakhtama deposit: Shakhtama and ore-bearing porphyry. The U–Pb zircon dates (SHRIMP II) are 161.7 ± 1.4 and 161.0 ± 1.7 Ma for the monzonites and granites of the Shakhtama complex and 159.3 ± 0.9 and 155.0 ± 1.7 Ma for the monzonite- and granite-porphyry of the ore-bearing complex. The igneous complexes formed in a complex geodynamic setting in the late Middle Jurassic and early Late Jurassic, respectively. The setting combined the collision of continents during the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk ocean and the influence of mantle plume on the lithosphere of the Central Asian orogenic belt. The intrusion of the Shakhtama granitoids took place at the end of the collision, and the intrusion of porphyry of the ore-bearing complex, during the change of the geodynamic setting by a postcollisional (rifting) one. The complexes are composed of monzonite–granite series with similar geochemical characteristics of rocks. The performed geological, geochemical, and isotope-geochemical studies suggest that the sources of magmas were juvenile crust and Precambrian metaintrusive bodies. The juvenile mafic crust is considered to be the predominant source of fluid components and metals of the Shakhtama ore-magmatic system. The granitoids of both complexes include calc-alkalic high-K rocks with typical geochemical characteristics and with characteristics of K-adakites. These geochemical features indicate that the parental melts of the former rocks were generated at depths shallower than 55 km, and the melts of the latter, at depths of 55–66 km. K-adakite melts resulted from the melting of crust submerged into the mantle during the lithosphere delamination, which was caused by the crust thickening as a result of the repeated inflow of basic magma into the basement of the crust and tectonic deformations in its upper horizons. The high-Mg monzonitic magma produced under these conditions ascended and was mixed with melts generated in the upper horizons, which accounts for the high Mg contents of the Shakhtama granitoids. The similar compositions and petrogeochemical characteristics of the granitoids of the Shakhtama and porphyry complexes point to the same sources, transport paths, and evolution trend of their parental melts. This indicates that the igneous rocks of both complexes are products of the same long-living magmatic system, which produced Mo mineralization at the final stage. The favorable conditions for the ore production in the magmatic system during the formation of the porphyry complex appeared as early as the preceding stage—during the formation of the Shakhtama complex, which we regard as a preparatory stage in the evolution of the ore-magmatic system.     

冀东地区冰雹云多普勒雷达参数特征分析

利用2008—2015年冀东地区发生的36个冰雹个例,通过秦皇岛多普勒天气雷达资料反演出冰雹发生时雷达的各种参数,提取各种参数与冰雹发生时的关系。研究结果表明冰雹发生时,基于风暴的最大基本反射率因子、风暴顶高、垂直累积液态水含量平均值分别为62 dBz,9. 9 km,51. 6 kg·m~(-2),0℃层以上平均风暴厚度为5. 8 km,0℃层和-20℃层之间厚度平均值为3. 1 km,风暴最大基本反射率因子所在高度为4. 6 km,风暴平均移动速度为9 m·s~(-1)。不同尺寸的冰雹雷达参数变化不大。在冰雹发生过程中,两个体扫间风暴的最大基本反射率因子平均最大跃变为7 dBz,风暴顶高平均最大跃变为6. 7 km,垂直累积液态水含量平均最大跃变为17 kg·m~(-2),这种跃变的出现比冰雹发生时刻平均提前39、30和25 min,可以作为冰雹发生前的重要判断依据。此外还对WSR-88D冰雹算法进行了评估,结果表明,该算法的命中率较高,虚警率也较高,算法对冰雹的预报提前量平均为43 min左右,冰雹尺寸的预报结果偏大。     

Moment of inertia of a neutron star. I. Relativistic equation for the accumulated moment of inertia

A relativistic, first-order differential equation is derived for the accumulated moment of inertia of a spherically symmetric celestial body. An approximate equation is proposed to describe the contribution of relativistic effects to the moment of inertia of a superdense star. For configurations of an incompressible fluid, this approximation describes the results of the numerical calculations of Chandrasekhar and Miller to within 5% in the entire range of central pressures from 0 to ∞.

Acoustic power mapping for active regions from MDI, HLH, and TON data

Based on the HLH and TON ground-based helioseismological projects and the SOHO/MDI spaceborne project, we obtained acoustic power maps of active regions averaged over 1 mHz intervals. These maps allowed the spatial and frequency distributions of acoustic power in an active region and its surroundings to be studied. The time step of the HLH data is 42 s, which makes it possible to investigate the acoustic power up to 11.9 mHz. Data in the Ca II K and Ni I lines, which originate in the middle chromosphere and the photosphere, respectively, give an idea of the height distribution of acoustic oscillation energy in the solar atmosphere. The acoustic halo produced by excess acoustic power around sunspots clearly shows up on acoustic maps in the Ca II K line and, to a lesser degree, in the Doppler Ni I line shifts. Ground-based observations also reveal a large enhancement of acoustic power inside sunspots. Our tests show that this effect results from the combination of a high intensity gradient in the data and atmospheric seeing. The latter was reduced by referencing each image to the sunspot. The spatial distribution of power inside the sunspot due to atmospheric seeing was found to depend on the exposure time of the data used. Excluding the nonsolar effects, a common property of all acoustic maps is the suppression of the solar-oscillation acoustic power in active regions.     

Global Lagrangian Atmospheric Dispersion Model

The Global Lagrangian Atmospheric Dispersion Model (GLADIM) is described. GLADIM is based on the global trajectory model, which had been developed earlier and uses fields of weather parameters from different atmospheric reanalysis centers for calculations of trajectories of air mass that include trace gases. GLADIM includes the parameterization of turbulent diffusion and allows the forward calculation of concentrations of atmospheric tracers at nodes of a global regular grid when a source is specified. Thus, GLADIM can be used for the forward simulation of pollutant propagation (volcanic ash, radionuclides, and so on). Working in the reverse direction, GLADIM allows the detection of remote sources that mainly contribute to the tracer concentration at an observation point. This property of Lagrangian models is widely used for data analysis and the reverse modeling of emission sources of a pollutant specified. In this work we describe the model and some results of its validation through a comparison with results of a similar model and observation data.
