Researches in China on the Effects of Tides on the Earth Rotation

In this paper the tidal phenomena on the Earth are concisely specified, including solid tides, ocean tides and atmospheric tides due to the luni-solar tide-generating force, and the Earth pole tide due to the motion of the Earth's rotation axis (polar motion); as well as their effects on the Earth rotation. The outcomes of scientific researches of Chinese astronomers on these topics are described in some detail. These researches deal with the mechanisms responsible for tidal effects on the earth rotation, and on the measurements of the Earth rotation parameters. Finally, the effects discovered by Chinese researchers on the measurements of the period and change in period of pulsars are discussed. These effects are very small in magnitude but not negligible.

我国近年来天文的新发现

这里叙述的新发现仅指某一特殊类型的发现（如新星，超新星和小行星等）及某一特殊类型天体的认证（如X射线源证认为类星体等），而不包括某一类天体的某种天象及未知性质源的列表（如深度成像观测得到的前人没有纪录过的一般天体，如恒星，但一些特殊天体亦列入），由于收集不全面和所谓“发现”定义的困难，向有发向而未列入者先歉意。从80年代后期开始，我国的观测设备有了很大垢发展，所以有一批重的的天文发现，为天文提供了很好的机会，它包括下面几方面，层系层次天体：（1）用X射线源和射电源证认了一批包括类星体，BL Lac天体，赛弗特天体在内的活动星系核；（2）用IRAS源证认了一批W－R星系；（3）BATC巡天在一个星系周围发现了一个“环”。恒星层次天体：（1）河外星系中发现了一批超新星的一个新星，（2）发现了和用ROSAT源证认了一批激变变星，（4）BATC和超新星巡天发现了一批变星，（4）发现了若干新的δSct变星，（5）发现了一批Herbig-Haro天体，（6）发现了一批水脉泽。行星层次天体：（1）发现了大批小行星，特别是有些是近地不行星，（20发现若干彗星。     

Radiative association in Li+H revisited: the role of quasi-bound states

The role in radiative association of narrow resonances arising from quasi-bound levels is examined. For the rate coefficient the contribution from such levels is readily calculated in terms of the Einstein A -coefficient from bound rovibrational levels generated using a suitable alternative boundary condition. By locating systematically all the quasi-bound levels, an enhancement by more than an order of magnitude of the rate coefficient for Li(2s) + H(1s) association above about 600 K is obtained. The effect on the LiH abundance in the early Universe is no more than an increase of a factor of 3 for limited ranges of values of the redshift. For the Li(2p) state the effect of narrow resonances appears to have been taken into account in previous calculations.     

Influence of the Atmospheric Tides on the Earth Rotation

Spectral analysis of the components of the relative atmospheric angular momentum vector is performed based on the series of these components for the 6 h intervals within the period of 1958–2000. These series have been computed in the Subbureau of the Atmospheric Angular Momentum of the International Earth Rotation Service using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis of atmospheric observations. The basic harmonics of diurnal tides are determined. New results on the fortnight's and week's duration oscillations of the equatorial components of the atmospheric angular momentum are obtained. The zonal tides transformation mechanisms in the atmosphere are discussed. It is shown that the main mechanism of the zonal tides effect on the atmospheric variability is the amplitude modulation of daily oscillations of the relative atmospheric angular momentum. The effects of the atmospheric tides on the Earth rotation are discussed.
