拱星OH脉泽辐射频谱的双峰结构和多重分离的膨胀拱星壳

对一些OH／IR星的拱星OH脉泽的观测结果表明,在双峰结构谱线轮廓上常常可以发现一些小峰叠加在双峰上,即在谱线轮廓的双峰结构中的每个峰是由几个小峰叠加而成的．从脉泽的辐射转移方程和拱星包层的速度结构出发,研究拱星OH脉泽辐射频谱的轮廓特征,提出多重分离的膨胀拱星亮模型,很好地解释了双峰结构的奇特观测现象．     

The influence of Cr on the garnet–spinel transition in the Earth''s mantle: experiments in the system MgO–Cr2O3–SiO2 and thermodynamic modelling

The position of the transition from spinel peridotite to garnet peridotite in a simplified chemical composition has been determined experimentally at high pressures and high temperatures. The univariant reaction MgCr₂O₄+2Mg₂Si₂O₆=Mg₃Cr₂Si₃O₁₂+Mg₂SiO₄, has a negative slope in P–T space between 1200 °C and 1600 °C. The experimental results, combined with assessed thermodynamic data for MgCr₂O₄, MgSiO₃ and Mg₂SiO₄ give the entropy and enthalpy of formation of knorringite garnet (Mg₃Cr₂Si₃O₁₂). Thermodynamic calculations in simplified chemical compositions indicate that Cr shifts the garnet-in reaction to much higher pressures than previously anticipated. Moreover, in Cr-bearing systems a pressure–temperature field exists where garnet and spinel coexist. The width of this divariant field strongly depends on the Cr/(Cr+Al) of the system.     

Ages and metallicities of globular clusters in NGC 4472

We have derived ages and metallicities from co-added spectra of 131 globular clusters associated with the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. Based upon a calibration with Galactic globular clusters, we find that our sample of globular clusters in NGC 4472 span a metallicity range of approximately −1.6≤[Fe/H]≤0 dex. There is evidence of a radial metallicity gradient in the globular cluster system which is steeper than that seen in the underlying starlight. Determination of the absolute ages of the globular clusters is uncertain, but formally, the metal-poor population of globular clusters has an age of 14.5±4 Gyr and the metal-rich population is 13.8±6 Gyr old. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the globular cluster populations present in these data are older than 6 Gyr at the 95 per cent confidence level. We find that within the uncertainties, the globular clusters are old and coeval, implying that the bimodality seen in the broadband colours primarily reflects metallicity and not age differences.     

SiO2-TiO2薄膜制备及其光催化性能研究

Sol-gel法制备SiO2-TiO2复合薄膜，进行甲醛的光催化降解实验，研究了SiO2掺杂量、薄膜焙烧温度、甲醛溶液pH值及初始浓度对光催化性能的影响。结果表明，500℃焙烧1h，掺杂质量SiO2：TiO2=12：100时，SiO2-TiO2薄膜的光催化活性最高，150min后甲醛降解率达76％，是单纯TiO2薄膜的1．3倍，该薄膜稳定性较好，经重复8次使用，最大降解率只下降4％。     

The excitation mechanism of the interstellar 6.7 GHz methanol maser

We notice that the second kind of astronomical methanol maser with strong emission always coexists at both 6.7 GHz and 12.2 GHz and in association with compact H II regions and we are led to propose a new excitation mechanism —maser amplification of the 6.7 GHz maser wothout population inversion. We show that this mechanism is compatible with the astronomical conditions and that it and other mechanisms are not mutually exclusive, rather it may serve as a useful complement.     

Comparisons of Infrared Colors and Emission-line Intensities between Two types of Seyfert 2 Galaxies

We study the relation between the infrared colors[ OⅢ] emission lines,gaseous absorbing column density(NH) ,and the detectability of the polarized (hidden)broad-line region(HBLR) in a large sample of 75 Seyfert 2 galaxies(Sy2s).From the indicators of star-formation activity,f60/f100 and LFIR/LB,we find some evidence that the Sy2s without HBLR show higher star-formation activities than those with HBLR,in agreement with previous prediction.Also,we confirm that the HBLR Sy2s tend to have a larger luminosity ratio of the core to the host galaxy,suggesting that the HBLR Sy2s display more powerful AGN activity.Howerver,the level of obscuration found in previous papers in nearly indistinguishable between the two types of Sy2s.The results support the statement that the non-HBLR Sy2s,with a weaker core component and a stronger star-formation activity component,are intrinsically different from the HBLR Sy2s,which are Sy1 systems with a hidden powerful AGN core and a low star-formation activity.The indications are that the non-HBLR Sy2s might be at an earlier evolutionary phase than the HBLR Sy2s.

Analysis of high-resolution spectra of mildly metal-poor stars I. Spectral data and equivalent widths

A number of high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio spectra of mildly metal-poor stars were obtained with the coudé echelle spectrograph attached to the 2.16m telescope at Xinglong Observation Base of Beijing Astronomical Observatory. The spectra of seven mildly metal-poor stars were processed with the MIDAS software package, and the equivalent widths of their spectral lines were measured. The measured equivalent widths together with an error analysis are presented.     

Radio emission at 1.4 GHz from luminous compact galaxies

We analyse the properties of the 1.4 GHz continuum emission in 52 star‐forming compact luminous galaxies (LCGs). The fluxes of the 1.4 GHz thermal (free‐free) component are derived from the extinction‐ and aperture‐corrected fluxes of the Hα emission line. The fraction of the thermal 1.4 GHz emission is shown tobe in the range of 2–52 % with a median value of about 15–17 %, and its distribution is close to a log‐normal one. Both the thermal and non‐thermal radio continuum luminosities are shown to be proportional to the masses of the young stellar population of the LCGs. We discuss the approximation of the ratio of the 1.4 GHz luminosity‐to‐the mass of the young stellar population as a function of starburst age. The derived approximation is shown to be similar but less clearly defined compared to ones obtained previously for LCGs from their Hα and UV continuum luminosities.
