Evidence of Evolution in the Dense Cores in Massive Star Forming Regions

The excitation of H2O masers usually needs very high density gas, hence it can serve as a marker of dense gas in HII region. We selected a sample of H2O maser sources from Plume et al. (four with, and four without detected CS(J = 7-6) emission), and observed them in 13CO(J=1-0) and C18O (J=1-0). C18O (J=1-0) emission was detected only in three of the sources with detected CS(J=7-6) emission. An analysis combined with some data in the literature suggests that these dense cores may be located at different evolutionary stages. Multi-line observation study may provide us clues on the evolution of massive star forming regions and the massive stars themselves.     

Statistical Properties of a Blazar Sample and Comparison of HBLs, LBLs and FSRQs

Making use of the 2MASS Data Release, we have searched for near-infrared (JHK) counterparts to 268 blazars from Donato et al. and obtained 238 counterparts within 5" in the area covered by 2MASS. It provides us a sample with infrared data several times larger than the previous one of the same kind. Based on our sample and the sample by Donato et al., we have compared in detail the properties of HBLs, LBLs and FSRQs from five aspects and found that HBLs are significantly different from LBLs and FSRQs while LBLs are not obviously different from FSRQs. Our results strongly support the division of BL Lac objects into the high-frequency peaked (HBL) and low-frequency peaked (LBL) objects introduced by Padovani & Giommi and show that HBLs and LBLs are two kinds of blazar having different physical properties.     

Estimating the Size and Timing of the Maximum Amplitude of Solar Cycle 24

A simple statistical method is used to estimate the size and timing of maximum amplitude of the next solar cycle (cycle 24). Presuming cycle 23 to be a short cycle (as is more likely), the minimum of cycle 24 should occur about December 2006 (±2 months) and the maximum, around March 2011 (±9 months), and the amplitude is 189.9 ±15.5, if it is a fast riser, or about 136, if it is a slow riser. If we presume cycle 23 to be a long cycle (as is less likely), the minimum of cycle 24 should occur about June 2008 (±2 months) and the maximum, about February 2013 (±8 months) and the maximum will be about 137 or 80, according as the cycle is a fast riser or a slow riser.     

A Monte Carlo Study of the Evolution of the Scale Height of Normal Pulsars in the Galaxy

Based on the undisturbed, finite thickness disk gravitational potential, we carried out 3-D Monte Carlo simulations of normal pulsars. We find that their scale height evolves in a similar way for different velocity dispersions (σv): it first increases linearly with time, reaches a peak, then gradually decreases, and finally approaches a stable asymptotic value. The initial velocity dispersion has a very large influence on the scale height. The time evolution of the scale height is studied. When the magnetic decay age is used as the time variable, the observed scale height has a similar trend as the simulated results in the linear stage, from which we derive velocity dispersions in the range 70- 178km s-1, which are near the statistical result of 90 - 270km s-1 for 92 pulsars with known transverse velocities. If the characteristic age is used as the time variable, then the observed and theoretical curves roughly agree for t > 108 yr only if σv < 25km s-1.     

尚难定论的脉冲星-访北京大学物理学院天文学系徐仁新教授

2012年7月,位于日内瓦的欧洲核子中心宣布,发现了48年之前物理学家预言的“上帝粒子”-希格斯玻色子。2013年诺贝尔物理学奖授予两位健丰的预言者-英国物理学家彼得·希格斯和比利时物理学家弗郎索瓦·恩格勒特。它标志着粒子物理学进入新的阶段,也显示粒子物理的标准模型获得了极大的成功。也许人们没有注意到,粒子物理的每次风吹草动都牵动了天文学家的补缀,而且随后几年内对于天体本质的认识又会上升一个台阶。关于致密天的物理本质-尤其是中子星-的研究就是一个很好的例子。十年前,北京大学天文系徐仁新教授提出构成脉冲星的基本单元并非中子而是“夸克集团”。让我们听他讲述关于“中子星的是非曲直。     

空间物理学展望

空间物理学已经跨出了探索阶段，其初期所采用的现象学描述已发展为更加成熟的方法，即进行集中和定蚤的调查研究，以及对相互影响系统的分析讨论。在进一步深入研究中，理论和模拟起着主要作用，同时必须发展复杂的、多方面的实验和观浏项目，这也将是技术上的挑战。     

“地球兄弟”挑战星云说

已发现的数千个与太阳系大相径庭的行星系统颠覆了我们对行星形成的认识。天文学家们正在寻找一个全新的理论。不久前——事实上就在20世纪90年代中期,有一个理论,其漂亮程度让天文学家相信它必须是正确的。他们给它取了一个极其平淡的名字：核心吸积理论。其漂亮之处就在于,仅使用一些基本的物理学和化学原理,它就能解释太阳系的每一个主要特征。该理论解释了为什么所有的行星都以同一个方向绕太阳转动;为什么行星的轨道几乎都是完美的圆形且都位于太阳赤道平面附近;为什么四颗内行星（水星、
