The kilosecond variability of X-ray sources in nearby galaxies

Chandra observations of 17 nearby galaxies were analyzed and 166 bright sources with X-ray counts 〉 100 were chosen for temporal analysis. Fractional root mean square （rms） variability amplitudes were estimated for light curves, binned at 4 kilosecond （ks）, with length 〈 40 ks. While there are nine ultra-luminous X- ray sources （ULXs） with unabsorbed luminosity （in the 0.3-8.0 keV band） L 〉 1039 erg s-1 in the sample for which the fractional rms variability is constrained to be 〈 10%, only two of them show variability. One of the variable ULXs exhibits a secular transition and has an ultra-soft spectrum with temperature - 0.3 keV while the other is a rapidly varying source in NGC 0628, which has previously been com- pared to the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915＋105. These results seem to indicate that ULXs are typically not highly variable on ks timescales, except for some ultra-soft ones. Among the relatively low luminosity sources （L - 10^38 erg s-1）, we find five of them to be variable. Apart from an earlier known source in NGC 1569, we identify a source in NGC 2403 that exhibits persistent high amplitude fluctuations. In general, the variability of the sources does not seem to be correlated with hardness, which indicates that they may not be due to variations in any absorbing material, but instead could reflect instabilities in the inner accretion disk.

The Status of ROSAT X-ray Active Young Stars toward Taurus-Auriga

We present an astrometric study of the candidates of T Tauri stars (TTS)and non-TTS X-ray sources around Tau-Aur, based on the Hipparcos Catalogue andthe ACT Reference Catalogue. The ROSAT selected X-ray sources are found to bea mixed population. A few of them are associated with the Tau-Aur or Orion StarForming Regions (SFR). Some, with distances similar to that of Tau-Aur but withdiscrepant proper motions, are probable or sure Pleiades super-cluster members orother late type young active stars with unresolved nature, more likely to originatein rapidly moving cloudlets, or else having originated from different sites other thanTau-Aur and moved to the present locations. A good many of the non-TTS X-raysources are considered as Hyades cluster members. Some TTS candidates could beforeground pre-main sequence stars or actually young dwarfs not yet depleted oftheir Lithium. Under the hypothesis that the sources we studied are representativeof the ROSAT selected TTS candidates discovered in the outskirts of

利用作者１９９６年提出的爆发式注入模型,分析１９９１－１９９３年期间观测到的ＰＫＳ０５２８＋１３４的两个毫米波射电大爆发,把理论的流量变化曲线和１２个频率（从２３０ＧＨｚ到２３ＧＨｚ）上的观测曲线进行了比较．结果表明,该模型相当好地解释了在相当宽阔的频率范围（～５０：１）内观测到的流量密度变化．     

天文望远镜

当代天文望远镜的巨大威力使我们的视野远远超越了太阳系、银河系,使我们见证了宇宙自诞生以来长达140亿年的历史。最为大众所熟知的是光学或者叫可见光天文望远镜。就是一般天文台里大球面建筑物里的望远镜,例如紫金山天文台下属的盱眙观测站拥有的近地天体望远镜。
