松辽盆地F油层高岭石、伊利石对储层物性、敏感性影响的实验研究

松辽盆地F油层砂泥岩互层发育,高岭石、伊利石为其主要粘土矿物,对研究储层物性及该油层的有效开发具有重要意义。本文通过对F油层90块天然岩心的室内研究发现,F油层渗透率、孔隙度随着高岭石相对含量的增加而增加,随着伊利石相对含量的增加而减小。砂岩层渗透性较好,高岭石相对含量较高,次生石英很少就地沉积,大量长石溶蚀孔隙得以保存;泥岩层渗透性差,伊利石相对含量较高。而且伊利石纤维状赋存和高岭石书页状赋存使砂岩层孔渗性更好,而使泥岩层孔渗性更差。该层开发过程中,高岭石、伊利石对储层物性的影响由室内岩心流动实验可知,F油层为中等强度偏弱速敏、中等强度偏强碱敏,速敏指数随着高岭石、伊利石绝对含量的增加而增加;储层的碱敏指数随高岭石绝对含量的增加而增加,而与伊利石含量无关。由于在所有粘土矿物中,高岭石相对含量接近一半,所以在F油层的开发过程要注重防范高岭石的碱敏、速敏损害。     

Limits on the X-ray emission from several hyperluminous IRAS galaxies

We report long, pointed ROSAT HRI observations of the hyperluminous galaxies IRAS F00235+1024, F12514+1027, F14481+4454 and F14537+1950. Two of them are optically classified as Seyfert-like. No X-ray sources are detected at the positions of any of the objects, with a mean upper limit L _X/ L _Bol ≃ 2.3 × 10⁻⁴. This indicates that any active nuclei are either atypically weak at X-ray wavelengths or obscured by column densities N _H > 10²³ cm⁻². They differ markedly from 'ordinary' Seyfert 2 galaxies, bearing a closer resemblance in the soft X-ray band to composite Seyfert 2 galaxies or to some types of starburst.     

Increase of Local Seismicity Due to the Construction of Taipei 101？

Considering the controversy over whether the Taipei 101 skyscraper has induced an increase of local seismicity, we reanalyzed the local earthquake catalogue before and after the construction to investigate whether the reported seismicity increase related to the construction is statistically significant. Statistical tests obtained a positive conclusion about the apparent seismicity increase. However, the calculation of maximum ΔCFS shows that at most a 2.2×10-4 bar Coulomb Failure Stress change was produced by the construction. Therefore, whether the construction of Taipei 101 really triggered the increase of seismicity still remains an open question: Statistically-yes; physically-no.

Spiral patterns with straight arm segments

The phenomenon of 'rows', which are straight geometrical segments in the spiral arms of galaxies, is studied. The Whirlpool nebula, Messier 51 (NGC 5194) in Canes Venatici, is considered to be an example of a giant grand design galaxy. Optical photographs, H α , ultraviolet and far-ultraviolet images, CO, 21-cm and synchrotron emission maps, and a K _s-band mosaic of M51 are studied. With this observational material, multiple rows can be recognized in the spiral arms of the galaxy. The rows comprise a major part of the arms. The lengths of the rows increase almost linearly with distance from the centre. They intersect one another at an (average) angle ≈2π/3. A possible physical explanation of the phenomenon of rows is discussed on the basis of the assumption that the formation of straight arm segments might be due to the gas-dynamical effect of stability of flat shock fronts, and the tendency of a slightly curved shock front to become flat. A quantitative flattening criterion enables an explanation of the geometrical properties of the arm patterns found in M51 and also in M101. A brief list of spirals with rows is given.     

Period–luminosity relations for red supergiant variables – II. The distance to M101

We report the discovery of 42 red supergiant variables (RSVs) in the late-type spiral galaxy M101. Periods for the luminosity variation of these RSVs were determined from 20 epochs of ground-based CCD photometry in the Kron–Cousins R band obtained with the KPNO 2.1-m and WIYN 3.5-m telescopes over a span of three years. The periods found were in the range 200–1300 days. Using the relationship between the RSV periods and their luminosity in the Kron–Cousins I band, we estimate a reddening-corrected distance modulus to M101 of 29.40±0.16 mag (based on a distance modulus of 18.5±0.1 mag for the Large Magellanic Cloud). This distance is consistent with the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project Cepheid distances of 29.34±0.17 mag for the outer field of M101 and 29.21±0.17 mag for the inner field.
