Dynamical stability and evolution of the discs of Sc galaxies

We examine the local stability of galactic discs against axisymmetric density perturbations with special attention to the different dynamics of the stellar and gaseous components. In particular, the discs of the Milky Way and of NGC 6946 are studied. The Milky Way is shown to be stable, whereas the inner parts of NGC 6946, a typical Sc galaxy from the Kennicutt sample, are dynamically unstable. The ensuing dynamical evolution of the composite disc is studied by numerical simulations. The evolution is so fierce that the stellar disc heats up dynamically on a short time-scale to such a high degree, which seems to contradict the morphological appearance of the galaxy. The star formation rate required to cool the disc dynamically is estimated. Even if the star formation rate in NGC 6946 is at present high enough to meet this requirement, it is argued that the discs of Sc galaxies cannot sustain such a high star formation rate for extended periods.     

Possible formation scenarios for the giant H i envelope around the NGC 4490/4485 system

We present observations of H i in the nearby interacting galaxies NGC 4490 and 4485 made with the VLA in both C and D arrays. The galaxies are embedded in an extensive envelope of neutral hydrogen which is elongated in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of NGC 4490, with an extent of about 56 kpc. We argue that this distribution of neutral hydrogen can best be explained by a galactic-scale bipolar outflow of H  i driven by supernovae in NGC 4490. The flow from the disc appears to be reasonably well collimated and has probably persisted for approximately 6 × 10⁸ yr. The implications for galaxy evolution when such mass loss occurs are briefly discussed.

Mass distribution in the open cluster NGC 1664

We start with the hypotheses that the cluster space is limited by an ellipsoid with a semiprincipal axis directed to the observer and that the star density inside of concentric ellipsodal layers remains constant, although varying from layer to layer. It results that the mean star mass at the periphery of the cluster is 0.59 Sun masses smaller than that at the center.     

空间面群目标几何相似度计算模型

本文针对空间面群目标提出了一种几何相似度计算模型。首先,利用拓扑关系概念领域图定义了面群之间的拓扑关系相似度;然后,对不同类型的面状目标选用合适的"降维"方法处理为"线群"目标,利用方向均值定义线群之间的方向关系即面群目标的方向相似度,以及利用"环形方差"定义线群目标之间的距离关系即面群目标的距离相似度。最后,结合面群的长度和平均长度、面积和平均面积,面密度及紧致度,建立了面群目标几何相似度计算模型,以对面群目标相似度进行整体度量。该模型综合考虑了空间面群目标的几何特征和空间关系特征,并对其作了适当的权重分配。从时间邻近度和尺度邻近度角度,本文设计了2个实验,结果表明,相似度计算结果与地物特征比较一致,符合人们的直观空间认知。     

内蒙迪彦庙地区寿山沟组地层研究

内蒙迪彦庙地区早二叠世寿山沟组地层发育良好,岩性相对稳定,变质、变形程度较低,是研究区范围内早二叠世地层层序研究的理想地区。该课题逐层实测了寿山沟组剖面,从剖面的岩性地层入手,着重分析了迪彦庙地区早二叠世的岩性组合特征、基本层序、沉积旋回特征;同时根据古生物化石类型和组合,推断该区域形成的地质时代和沉积环境。研究表明：寿山沟组剖面厚度为9598.98m,根据岩性和粒度的大小,可分3个岩段：一段为滨浅海浅海陆棚沉积;二段、三段为一套浊流沉积岩系,发育特征性浊流沉积构造,为典型的复理石建造。     

鲁东胶北地区中太古代唐家庄岩群

１０余年来,通过对鲁东胶北地区太古宙地层的研究,原胶东群中剔除出大量的变质变形深成侵入岩,并从其底部分离出一套呈包体状态残存于花岗质岩石中的紫苏磁铁石英岩、二辉斜长角闪麻粒岩等,据此建立了唐家庄岩群。该岩群为一套经受角闪麻粒岩相高级变质的表壳岩组合,同位素测年数据为２７６３～２９３６Ｍａ,与之相伴产出的超基性岩同位素地质年龄值为２６９３～３１５０Ｍａ,其特征与鲁西地区沂水岩群相似,说明太古宙时鲁东和鲁西曾是一个统一的克拉通陆核。

鄂尔多斯盆地南部直罗油田长8油层油气沸腾包裹体群研究

运用激光拉曼光谱、包裹体充填度测定等方法对鄂尔多斯盆地直罗油田富南3井、6井长8油层裂缝岩芯充填物中包裹体群进行分析,发现富南3井、6井与英旺油田英16井长8油层中油气沸腾包裹体群完全相同,密集分布的气泡不停晃动,证实油气沸腾包裹体群不是孤立的、偶然的地质现象。富南3井、6井和英16井长8油层裂缝岩芯的原始裂缝性质为滑动-剪切裂缝和剪切裂缝,在区域构造的作用下,反复发生拉张-挤压交替活动;在拉张发生的瞬间,与裂缝沟通的油层里的原油发生减压沸腾,原油中的轻质馏分和其他流体进入裂缝空间;在随后的挤压发生时,裂缝基本封闭,一部分流体返回原来的油层,一部分被挤到别的裂隙空间形成新的油藏;残留在裂缝里的碳酸钙,在较高的地层压力下逐渐结晶,并把残留的轻质馏分包裹,形成油气包裹体;这些油气包裹体形成压力较高,又包裹着成分类似液化气的轻质馏分,在常温常压下就处于沸腾状态;这样的过程反复进行,在裂缝充填物中形成了沿着晶体生长线以及成片、成带分布的油气沸腾包裹体群。上述油气沸腾包裹体群的形成过程就是油气的地震泵运移机制,丰富了油气运移地震泵地质模型。     

Seasonal variation in functional phytoplankton groups in Xiangxi Bay, Three Gorges Reservoir

We describe the phytoplankton dynamics and structure in Xiangxi Bay, Three Gorges Reservoir. Samples were collected monthly in the surface waters between August 2007 and July 2008. We identified 10 principle functional groups. C-strategists and S/R-strategists with a wide range of tolerance dominated the phytoplankton assemblage. Seasonal variation was related to water column stability because of changes in hydraulic operation in October, January, and May. Functional group C (Asterionella formosa) and P (Au...
