An unusual timing and spectral state of a black hole microquasar XTE J1550-564

An unusual timing and spectral state of a black hole microquasar XTE J1550-564 observed with RXTE is analyzed. Millisecond variabilities are found, which are significantly shorter than the minimum possible time scale in the light curves of black hole binaries, as suggested by Sunyaev & Revnivtsev (2000). The X-ray spectral fitting result indicates that there is an unusual soft component in the spectrum, which may be responsible for the millisecond variabilities. The millisecond variabilities as well as the unusual soft spectral component should be produced from some small, but independent active regions in the accretion disk.     

Non-Gaussian distribution and clustering of hot and cold pixels in the five-year WMAP sky

We present measurements of the clustering of hot and cold patches in the microwave background sky as measured from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 5-year data. These measurements are compared with theoretical predictions which assume that the cosmological signal obeys Gaussian statistics. We find significant differences from the simplest Gaussian-based prediction. However, the measurements are sensitive to the fact that the noise is spatially inhomogeneous (e.g. because different parts of the sky were observed for different lengths of time). We show how to account for this spatial inhomogeneity when making predictions. Differences from the Gaussian-based expectation remain even after this more careful accounting of the noise. In particular, we note that hot and cold pixels cluster differently within the same temperature thresholds at few-degree scales. While these findings may indicate primordial non-Gaussianity, we discuss other plausible explanations for these discrepancies. In addition, we find some deviations from Gaussianity at sub-degree scales, especially in the W band, whose origin may be associated with extragalactic dust emission.     

船体可靠性评估

为了研究不同结构船体的寿命和使用时可靠度的关系,提出了一种基于试验的可靠度估计方法.针对不同结构船体寿命服从Weibull分布,在无失效数据情形下、置信度至少为γ和寿命为t时,根据船体寿命试验数据,给出了可靠度的单侧置信下限.该方法是在Weibull分布形状参数下限已知的情况下,能将所有的无失效寿命数据进行累加,大大提高了可靠性分析的精度.最后,对钢结构、钛合金结构、铝合金结构的船体,在寿命为t月、置信度至少为γ时,计算了3种结构船体的可靠度单侧置信下限.结果表明该方法易于计算,便于工程应用.

Pixel-based correction for Charge Transfer Inefficiency in the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys

Charge Transfer Inefficiency (CTI) due to radiation damage above the Earth's atmosphere creates spurious trailing in Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) images. Radiation damage also creates unrelated warm pixels – but these happen to be perfect for measuring CTI. We model CTI in the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)/Wide Field Channel and construct a physically motivated correction scheme. This operates on raw data, rather than secondary science products, by returning individual electrons to pixels from which they were unintentionally dragged during readout. We apply our correction to images from the HST Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), successfully reducing the CTI trails by a factor of ∼30 everywhere in the CCD and at all flux levels. We quantify changes in galaxy photometry, astrometry and shape. The remarkable 97 per cent level of correction is more than sufficient to enable a (forthcoming) reanalysis of downstream science products and the collection of larger surveys.     

基于数据融合理论的某坝段地下水宏观动态研究

在证明了采用误差均方差最小意义下,多传感器数据融合的效果优于利用任一单个传感器进行估计的效果,采用决策级融合方法,将其应用于某坝9坝段地下水宏观动态分析。经分析知：该坝段在2003～2004年为地下水宏观动态的相对突变时期,自2004年以后,坝基地下水宏观动态与库水之间的相关程度又趋于相对的稳定时期,表明该坝段坝基帷幕体的防渗性能至少出现了局部的衰减、且具有阶段性变化的特点;就分析时段而言,2003～2004年间为帷幕体防渗性能明显衰减时期,而2004年以后为其相对稳定时期。     

中国大陆科学探井岩性的VSP地震特征分析

中国大陆科学钻探(CCSD)井位于苏鲁超高压变质带南部,地处郯庐断裂东侧的东海县境内。VSP地震勘探为CCSD多学科研究内容之一,利用数字地震仪(HF300)和多级三分量数字检波器(GeoChain)对探井进行了VSP测量。结合VSP勘探结果和CCSD探井5000 m岩性资料,分析了井中岩性分段特征、超高压变质岩的地震响应特征和vp/vs比值特征,取得了若干具有科学意义的结论:(1)以榴辉岩的分布和组合特征进行的岩性分段比较合理,每段的VSP速度和测井密度等特征和岩性分布具有很好的一致性。(2)榴辉岩与片麻岩界面以及剪切带均可形成强反射,正/副片麻岩界面也可产生明显反射,透镜状和条带状岩体的反射同相轴呈现不同程度的弯曲,剪切带的反射同相轴连续性好。(3)榴辉岩以高波速(6.3 km/s)、低vp/vs值(1.2)和波组强而稀疏为特征,副片麻岩以较高波速(6.1 km/s)、高vp/vs值(1.8)和波组较稀疏为特征,正片麻岩以较低波速(5.8 km/s)、中等vp/vs值(1.5)和波组较密集为特征,而剪切带以强反射、vp/vs值最高(2.2)为特征,而且不论剪切带出现在哪种岩性中其vp/vs值都很高。该研究成果不但揭示了变质带的地震响应特征,同时为二维或三维地面地震解释提供科学依据,减少解释分析中的多解性和不确定性,能够有效地提高中国大陆科学钻探孔区地质构造解释的可信度,为其他学科研究提供依据。
