Mass-luminosity relation for massive stars

A catalog of massive (⩾10 M _⊙) stars in binary and multiple systems with well-known masses and luminosities has been compiled. The catalog is analyzed using a theoretical mass-luminosity relation. This relation allows both normal main-sequence stars and stars with peculiarities: with clear manifestations of mass transfer, mass accretion, and axial rotation, to be identified. Least-squares fitting of the observational data in the range of stellar masses 10M _⊙ ⩽ M ≲ 50 M _⊙ yields the relation L ∼ M ^2.76. An erratum to this article is available at .     

基于点云投影线探测的高墩位姿自动检测方法

针对目前超高桥墩垂直度检测方法存在危险系数较高、精度难以保证或自动化程度与工作效率较低的情况,本文提出一种基于三维激光扫描技术的点云数据超高桥墩位姿自动检测方法。该方法首先将海量墩面点云双向分层;然后依条件选择分层文件探测点云投影线并划分桥墩面缓冲区;最后根据缓冲区自动提取墩面点云并进行位姿检测。本文以某山区高速桥梁高墩位姿检测为例进行试验,试验结果,表明该方法具有无接触测量、高自动化、高工作效率及检测范围全面的优势。     

Sulfide‐bearing palaeokarst deposits at Lune River Quarry,Ida Bay,Tasmania

The Lune River Quarry at Ida Bay, Tasmania exposes numerous palaeokarst features developed in the Ordovician Gordon Limestone. These palaeokarst features contain carbonate and siliciclastic deposits probably representing Late Devonian to early Late Carboniferous and Late Carboniferous karstification and sedimentation. Five facies of palaeokarst deposits are recognised, namely megabreccia, graded‐bedded carbonate, laminated sandstone/siltstone, diamictite/quartz‐lithic sandstone and coarse crystalline calcite. Pyrite, dolomite and sphalerite were emplaced in the palaeokarst deposits after the Carboniferous. These deposits are probably associated with a phase of hydrothermal cave development in Exit Cave, which adjoins the quarry. Pyrite weathering accounts for the abundance of gypsum speleothems and cave breakdown in Exit Cave.     

大质量年轻星体新的C18O(1-0)发射

利用紫金山天文台青海观测站13.7米的毫米波望远镜对74个大质量年轻星体或候选进行了C^18O(1-0)的谱线观测。在63个源中观测到了C^18O(1-0)发射，其中57个天体第一次探测到C^18O(1-0)谱线发射。根据谱线辐射温度（TR^*)和半宽（△V），利用LTE方法计算了每个测量源的C^18O(1-0)发射的光学厚度和C^18O(1-0)分子的柱密度。讨论了^13CO(1-0)和C^18O(1-0)的谱线强度比和积分强度比。     

一种基于规则格网的等值线生成方法

随着规则格网数据的获取手段不断发展,规则格网数据趋于海量化,而现有的一些软件对于大数据规则格网追踪等值线无法应对。针对传统方法较为占用内存问题,文章研究并提出了一种基于规则格网数据的逐行追踪等值线的方法:通过编程实现,与传统方法对比,该方法在处理大数据规则格网时的速度优于传统方法,在算法执行时,逐行追踪等值线方法对于计算机内存占用与传统方法相比大大减少;为了解决传统的等值线光滑与精简方法中出现等值线交叉的问题,文章提出采用规则格网插值与抽稀的方式来完成。     

Low-cost high performance distributed data storage for multi-channel observations

The New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST) is a 1-m solar telescope that aims to observe the fine structures in both the photosphere and the chromosphere of the Sun. The observational data acquired simultaneously from one channel for the chromosphere and two channels for the photosphere bring great challenges to the data storage of NVST. The multi-channel instruments of NVST, including scientific cameras and multi-band spectrometers, generate at least 3 terabytes data per day and require high access performance while storing massive short-exposure images. It is worth studying and implementing a storage system for NVST which would balance the data availability, access performance and the cost of development. In this paper, we build a distributed data storage system (DDSS) for NVST and then deeply evaluate the availability of real-time data storage on a distributed computing environment. The experimental results show that two factors, i.e., the number of concurrent read/write and the file size, are critically important for improving the performance of data access on a distributed environment. Referring to these two factors, three strategies for storing FITS files are presented and implemented to ensure the access performance of the DDSS under conditions of multi-host write and read simultaneously. The real applications of the DDSS proves that the system is capable of meeting the requirements of NVST real-time high performance observational data storage. Our study on the DDSS is the first attempt for modern astronomical telescope systems to store real-time observational data on a low-cost distributed system. The research results and corresponding techniques of the DDSS provide a new option for designing real-time massive astronomical data storage system and will be a reference for future astronomical data storage.     

硫化物吸附金属离子的实验研究──Ⅱ．温度与介质条件的影响

合成ＰｂＳ和ＺｎＳ对Ａｇ２＋、Ｃｕ２＋、Ｃｄ２＋、Ｆｅ２＋、Ｍｎ２＋、Ｍｇ２＋、Ｓｂ２＋和Ｂｉ３＋等离子吸附量与温度关系的实验研究表明，其遵从Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ公式：在Ａ类吸附，即抗衡离子交换型吸附中，温度上升，其吸附量升降由反应热决定，本实验中Ａ类吸附多为上升型；而大部分Ｂ和Ｃ类吸附，即朗谬尔型及反朗谬尔型的吸附量则随温度上升呈指数下降。例外的仅有ＰｂＳ对Ｂｉ３＋离子的吸附，其吸附量随温度上升有微弱的上升。这可能与Ｂｉ３＋离子和吸附剂ＰｂＳ之间共晶反应和铅的铋硫盐的形成有关。Ａ类吸附的吸附量受介质条件变化影响很少。但对Ｂ和Ｃ类吸附，吸附量受ｐＨ和离子强度变化影响取决于三个因素：①吸附剂ＰｂＳ、ＺｎＳ表面电荷特性；②溶液介质条件变化时吸附离子在溶液中离子态的分布与变化；③被吸附离子在吸附剂中扩散和形成化合物或共晶的能力。因此，当ｐＨ增加时，Ｐｂｓ和ＺｎＳ对金属离子吸附量的变化表现出多样性：增加的有ＰｂＳ对Ｆｅ２＋离子的吸附；下降的有ＰｂＳ对Ｓｂ３＋离子的吸附和ＺｎＳ对Ｆｅ２＋、Ｍｎ２＋离子的吸附；不变的有ＰｂＳ对Ｂｉ３＋、Ｚｎ２＋离子的吸附和ＺｎＳ对Ｍｇ２＋离子的吸附。当溶液中离子强度增加时，由于溶液中自由态离子     

Neutrino radiation from a collapsing galactic nucleus

We discuss the possible observational manifestation of the formation of massive black holes in galactic nuclei in the form of an intense high-energy neutrino flux. A short-lived (≤10 yr) hidden neutrino source results from the natural dynamicalal evolution of a central star cluster in the galactic nucleus before its gravitational collapse. The central star cluster at the final evolutionary stage consists of degenerate compact stars (neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes) and is embedded in a massive gaseous envelope produced by destructive collisions of normal stars. Multiple fireballs from frequent collisions of neutron stars give rise to a tenuous quasi-stationary cavity in the central part of the massive envelope. The cavity is filled with shock waves on which an effective cosmic-ray acceleration takes place. Allthe accelerated particles, except the secondary high-energy neutrinos, are absorbed in the dense envelope. The neutrino signal that carries information on the dynamicals of the collapsing galactic nucleus can be recorded by a neutrino detector with an effective area S∼1 km².     

Extragalactic Astronomy with the VLTI: a new window on the Universe

Interferometry in the optical and near infrared has so far played a marginal role in Extragalactic Astronomy. Active Galactic Nuclei are the brightest and most compact extragalactic sources, nonetheless only a very limited number could be studied with speckle interferometry and none with long baseline interferometry. The VLTI will allow the study of moderately faint extragalactic objects with very high spatial resolution thus opening a new window on the universe. With this paper we focus on three scientific cases to show how AMBER and MIDI can be used to tackle open issues in extragalactic astronomy. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

石油地质研究中海量录井数据管理的数据库技术

在石油地质研究中,常需要处理、分析大量的测井、录井数据,并绘制单井柱状图及联井剖面图,进而对海量地质数据进行"单因素"统计、计算、对比和分析,以便于分析其沉积相及沉积环境。目前,由于地质数据的海量增长,常规的Excel电子表格管理模式已难以满足生产、科研的需求。以绘制柱状图中和单因素提取中数据处理为例,介绍关系型数据库技术对海量录井数据的管理和信息提取等技术,尤其是数据库的快速查询、修改、删除、统计和计算等功能的灵活使用,大大提高了工作效率,增强了数据的准确性和灵活性。实践证明,该方法是一种切实可行的科学管理方法,可以在地学研究中推广使用。
