Discovery of 13 New Variable Stars in the Field of the Open Cluster NGC 2168 （M35）

A wide-field time-series CCD photometric survey of variable stars in the field of the open cluster NGC 2168 was carried out using the BATC Schmidt telescope. In total 13 new variable stars are discovered with three W UMa systems, one EA type and two EB type eclipsing binaries (one of them could be a W UMa system), and seven pulsating stars including three candidates of δScuti stars.     

强磁场中e^＋eˉ→3γ过程的研究

强磁场中的电磁辐射过程与自由空间的过程有着很大的差别。本工作就是对强磁场中的ｅ＾＋ｅˉ→３γ过程严格的量子电动力学处理，得到了一般情形下的截面与湮灭率的表达式。对静止湮灭作了数值计算，并与ｅ＾＋ｅˉ→γ和ｅ＾＋ｅˉ→２γ过程作了比较。比较结果表明三光子过程在弱磁场（～１０＾８Ｔ，中子星表面磁场强度）中，对低能光子（硬Ｘ射线）的发射有着不可忽略的贡献。     

On the Period Variation of the W UMa-type Contact Binary V502 Ophiuchi

The variation in the orbital period of the W UMa type contact binary V502 Oph is analyzed. The orbital period exhibits a wavelike variation with a periodicity of 23.0 years and an amplitude of △P = 1.24×10~(-6) days superimposed on secular decrease of dP/dt = 1.68×10-7 day per year. The long-term decrease may be accompanied by the contraction of the secondary at a rate of 83 m per year and a mass transfer rate from the primary to the secondary of 4.28×10~8 M per year. The short-term oscillation may be explained by the presence of a third component. Orbital elements of the third body and its possible mass are presented.     

大质量双星系统的非守恒演化

由于大质量双星系统有强大的星风物质损失,因而在研究其结构和演化时必须考虑星风物质损失,动量损失,物质交换以及由以上原因引起的轨道参量的变化,此外,天文观测又证实,一些大质量双星系统中存在星风冲击波,有Ｘ射线辐射以及有致密天体（白矮星,中子星）的存在,因此在研究大质量双星的演化时,又会遇到在星风冲击波理论及其对演化的影响,双星系统何时会演化成为公共外壳的系统,以及双星系统中如果发生超新星爆发,是否会     

同温层红外天文台（SOFIA）

红外天文概述 红外线是电磁波的一种,其波长比人眼所能看到的可见光要长。但是在天文学上,并没有十分明确的定义来确定红外线的波长范围。过去,在CCD出现之前,其下限一般界定在7000A,也就是0．7微米,这也是人眼所能感光的电磁波的波长上限。     

银河系厚盘的本地空间密度

本文利用北银极天区的现代恒星计数资料，采用标准的银河系模型，通过恒星统计积分方程对参数值组合模型的亮度函数进行计数分析，证明了银河系厚盘恒星成份存在的必要性，并进一步得出太阳附近厚盘成份的空间密度的最佳期望值为薄盘密度的０．０４１．     

现代天文学中的双星

我们的太阳系由一颗恒星、八颗行星以及各种小天体组成。不过,太阳附近的大多数恒星却是双星系统。如果它们有行星,那么,从那些行星上看来,天上将会有两个“太阳”。甚至还有的是三合星、四合星、五合星,乃至更多恒星组成的系统。观测表明,太阳附近超过三分之二的恒星处在双星或多星系统当中,     

A Catalog of Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the IRAS Survey and Second Data Release of SDSS

We selected a sample of luminous infrared galaxies by cross-identification of the Faint Source Catalogue (FSC) and Point Source Catalogue (PSC) of the IRAS Survey with the Second Data Release of the SDSS. The size of our sample is 1267 for FSC and 427 for PSC by using the 2σ significance level cross-section. The "likelihood ratio" method is used to estimate the individual's reliability and for defining two more reliable subsamples (908 for FSC and 356 for PSC). A catalog of infrared, optical and radio data is compiled and will be used in further work. Some statistical results show that luminous infrared galaxies are quite different from ultra-luminous infrared galaxies. The AGN fractions of galaxies at different infrared luminosities and the radio-infrared correlations are consistent with the previous studies.     

恒星天文学之父——威廉·赫歇尔

欧洲计划在2009年发射“赫歇尔”（Herschel）空间望远镜,其镜片直径达3.5米,远超哈勃空间望远镜（镜片直径为2.4米）,它将成为有史以来最大的空间望远镜。威廉·赫歇尔是18世纪著名的天文学家,他不仅发现了天王星,还开创了恒星天文学,他研究并假设（某些）星云是由恒星组成,提出著名的恒星演化学说;他不仅在天文望远镜的发展史上留下永不磨灭的足迹,而且是当时最伟大的观测天文学家,为恒星天文学的建立奠定了第一块基石,在天文学史上他被誉为“恒星天文学之父”。
