A simple mass estimate for central black holes in cuspy galaxies

We argue that the temperature of the stellar phase is likely a monotically decreasing function of radius in the central regions of elliptical galaxies with cusps. We show that it requires the presence of a central mass concentration. An estimate of its minimum mass based on few parameters is given. This lower bound is consistent with current mass values of the central objects in galaxies derived from detailed models. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Non-axisymmetric relativistic Bondi–Hoyle accretion on to a Schwarzschild black hole

We present the results of an exhaustive numerical study of fully relativistic non-axisymmetric Bondi–Hoyle accretion on to a moving Schwarzschild black hole. We have solved the equations of general relativistic hydrodynamics with a high-resolution shock-capturing numerical scheme based on a linearized Riemann solver. The numerical code was previously used to study axisymmetric flow configurations past a Schwarzschild black hole. We have analysed and discussed the flow morphology for a sample of asymptotically high Mach number models. The results of this work reveal that initially asymptotic uniform flows always accrete on to the hole in a stationary way, which closely resembles the previous axisymmetric patterns. This is in contrast with some Newtonian numerical studies where violent flip-flop instabilities were found. As discussed in the text, the reason can be found in the initial conditions used in the relativistic regime, as they cannot exactly duplicate the previous Newtonian setups where the instability appeared. The dependence of the final solution on the inner boundary condition as well as on the grid resolution has also been studied. Finally, we have computed the accretion rates of mass and linear and angular momentum.     

超压对碎屑岩机械压实作用的抑制与孔隙度预测

为了研究超压对碎屑岩储层机械压实作用的抑制作用和预测超压背景下碎屑岩储层的孔隙度,本文根据压力平衡原理,推导了地层超压与有效埋深的关系方程,并在综合考虑超压、溶蚀和胶结作用的基础上,建立了超压背景下储层孔隙度的预测模型。结果表明,盆地中地层的密度越小,超压对碎屑岩储层机械压实的抑制效果越明显。三个不同时代、不同类型沉积盆地的孔隙度预测结果表明,应用本文建立的储层孔隙度预测模型所预测储层孔隙度的误差均低于Gluyas和Cade方程,而且孔隙度预测的误差随地层时代的变老而增大。在储层胶结物小于10%的条件下,新生代超压盆地碎屑岩储层孔隙度的预测误差小于2%,而中生代超压盆地储层孔隙度的预测误差大于5%。本文建立的超压背景下的碎屑岩储层孔隙度预测模型仅适用于时代较新超压盆地的孔隙度预测。     

江汉平原粮食产量空间格局分析

基于湖北省第一次地理国情普查数据、基础地理信息数据和统计年鉴等资料,采用洛伦兹曲线、Moran指数等对江汉平原典型4个粮食主产区监利县、洪湖市、仙桃市、潜江市的粮食产量空间格局进行了分析和研究。研究表明:①洪湖市耕地资源与粮食产量间的对应关系较为平等,粮食单产稳定,粮食生产空间聚集显著;②监利县、潜江市与仙桃市的耕地、粮食产量表现出极弱空间相关性或无相关性,粮食生产能力相对较差,耕地资源及产量未表现出空间聚集优势。该结论可为农业部门制定农业生产计划和发展规划提供良好的数据支撑,为地理国情普查成果的应用提供借鉴。

The structure of black hole magnetospheres I. Schwarzschild black holes

We introduce a multipolar scheme for describing the structure of stationary, axisymmetric, force-free black hole magnetospheres in the '3+1' formalism. We focus here on Schwarzschild spacetime, giving a complete classification of the separable solutions of the stream equation. We show a transparent term-by-term analogy of our solutions with the familiar multipoles of flat-space electrodynamics. We discuss electrodynamic processes around disc-fed black holes in which our solutions find natural applications: (i) 'interior' solutions in studies of the BlandfordZnajek process of extracting the rotational energy of holes, and of the formation of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and 'microquasars'; (ii) 'exterior' solutions in studies of accretion disc dynamos, disc-driven winds and jets. On the strength of existing numerical studies, we argue that the poloidal field structures found here are also expected to hold with good accuracy for rotating black holes, except for the cases of the maximum possible rotation rates. We show that the closed-loop exterior solutions found here are not in contradiction with the MacdonaldThorne theorem, as these solutions, which diverge logarithmically on the horizon of the hole , only apply to those regions that exclude .
