A Study on the Technique of Observing Interplanetary Scintillation with Simultaneous Dual-Frequency Measurements

Ground-based observation of Interplanetary Scintillation(IPS)is an important ap- proach of monitoring solar wind speed.We describe both the principle and method of ob- serving the solar wind speed by using the normalized cross-spectrum of simultaneous dual- frequency IPS measurement.The effects of the solar wind properties and the angular size of the scintillation source on the measurement of solar wind speed are investigated by numerical analysis.We carry out a comparison of this method with the traditional single station-single frequency method.We outline a new IPS observation system using this method now under construction at the National Astronomical Observatories,CAS(NAOC).     

孔石莼(Ulva pertusa Kjellm)调血脂作用的初步研究

观察孔石莼热水提取多糖和孔石莼乙醇提取物中的有效部位对小鼠实验性高脂血症水平的影响 ,发现孔石莼多糖 2 5 0、5 0 0和 10 0 0mg/ (kg·d)三个剂量组均具有降低小鼠血清总胆固醇 (TC)、甘油三酯 (TG)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇 (LDL C)的作用 ,而高剂量组具有一定升高高密度脂蛋白胆固醇 (HDL C)的作用 ,其增加HDL C/TC比值显著 (P <0 0 5 )。孔石莼乙醇提取物中的有效部位也具有降低血清TC、TG和LDL C的作用 ,其降TC的作用稍次于孔石莼多糖 ,但其降低TG、升高HDL C/TC比值的作用优于孔石莼多糖。     

Polarization Position Angle Swings caused by Relativistic Effects

Polarization position angle swings of - 180 ° observed in extragalactic radio sources are a regular behavior of variability in polarization. They should be due to some kind of physically regular process. We consider relativistic shocks which propagate through and 'illuminate' regular configurations of magnetic field, producing polarization angle swing events. Two magnetic field configurations (force-free field and homogeneous helical field) are considered to demonstrate the results. It is shown that the properties of polarization angle swings and the relationship between the swings and variations in total and polarized flux density are critically dependent on the configuration of magnetic field and the dynamical behavior of the shock. In particular, we find that in some cases polarization angle swings can occur when the total and polarized flux densities only vary by a very small amount. These results may be useful for understanding the polarization variability with both long and short timescales obser     

An Intrinsic Model for the Polarization Position Angle Swing Observed in QSO 1150＋812

The rapid polarization position angle swing of ~ 180?observed in QSO 1150+812 at 2cm by Kochenov and Gabuzda is quite a regular event. One interesting property of the event is that, during the time of the swing the polarized flux density remained almost constant. We suggest that such an event can be explained in terms of a relativistic thin shock propagating through a uniform helical magnetic field, giving rise to relativistic aberration effects as the transverse field component rotates. The model may also be applicable to other similar events in which variations in polarization are not accompanied by variations in total flux density.     

ERRATUM：“Statistics of the Galactic Supernova Remnants”（ChJAA, 5（2）, 165 [2005]）

We thank Dr. Dave Green (MRAO, UK) for one comment and one identified problem in our paper. The comment is that we did not discuss selection effects of the current sample of supernova remnants, which can be found in Case & Bhattacharya (1998) and Green (2004). The problem is the mis-usage of some SNR distances in Gusienov et al. (2003) and other references which were obtained from the assumed ∑-D relation. We mixed them to other data to derive the SNR diameters and SNR luminosity for statistics. This seriously affects the discussions in Section 3.3 and Figures 3 and 4. We cleaned out the flawed data and revise this part of the paper in the electronic version at http://www. chjaa.org.     

Decametric bursts caused by the fragment S of comet SL-9

On July 21, 1994, 13 ^h - 15 ^h UT, decametric bursts had been recorded at frequencies from 24.0 MHz to 28.5 MHz in Xin Xiang station (longitude =-113.8°, latitude =35.3°), Henan province, China. Three maps of the three hour data are presented. Some of the bursts appears to be relative to the impact of the fragment S(No. 5) of the comet SL-9.The Project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Daubechies小波在射电成图降噪处理中的应用

在超新星遗迹的认证中,如何有效去除观测资料中的干扰噪音,突出其中的有用信号,一直是实验工作关注的焦点。小波分析法是一种新近发展超来的新的时频分析方法。与Ｆｏｕｒｉｅｒ分析方法一样,任意的能量有限函数可以用小波正交展开。与Ｆｏｕｒｉｅｒ正交基不同的是,小波正交基具有局域性好的特性,这为分离观测资料中的局部噪音。提供了一个十分不效的工具,在利用Ｄａｕｂｅｃｈｉｅｓ４离散小波时,成功地去除了射电源成图中     

用多通道AD分级采集扩展地震数据采集器的动态范围

地震数据采集是地震信号数字化必不可少的环节,动态范围是其一个重要的性能指标.实际地震信号的动态范围在160dB以上,而目前普遍使用的24位地震数据采集器动态范围相对较小且在50 Hz采样率时最大只达到135dB,致使24位地震数据采集器在实际使用中对小信号分辨率不够,不能有效提取地震信息;在大地震时又容易使数据采集器出现饱和限幅失真的现象而失去地震监测记录功能.本文针对在地震监测和地震研究中需要具有高分辨率和高动态范围的地震数据采集器这个亟待解决的问题,提出一种采用多通道AD转换器并行分级采集的方法,讨论了通道间失配及其标定.对研制实验样机的测试表明,其动态范围在50Hz采样时可以达到157dB以上,线性度优于0.005%.     

Measurements of electronic properties of the Miyun 50 m Radio Telescope

Measurement results of some properties of the Miyun 50 m radio telescope (MRT50) of the National Astronomical Observatories, such as pointing calibration, an-tenna beams, system noise temperature, gain and gain variations with elevation are intro-duced. By using a new de-convolution technique developed by our group, the broadening effect on measured beams caused by the width of an extended radio source has been re-moved so that we obtained higher accuracy on the measurements of MRT50 beams.
