The electromagnetic and gravitational-wave radiations of X-ray transient CDF-S XT2

Binary neutron star(NS)mergers may result in remnants of supra-massive or even stable NS,which have been supported indirectly by observed X-ray plateau of some gamma-ray burst(GRB)afterglows.Recently,Xue et al.(2019)discovered an X-ray transient CDF-S XT2 that is powered by a magnetar from merger of double NS via X-ray plateau and following stepper phase.However,the decay slope after the plateau emission is slightly larger than the theoretical value of spin-down in electromagnetic(EM)dominated by losing its rotation energy.In this paper,we assume that the feature of X-ray emission is caused by a supra-massive magnetar central engine for surviving thousands of seconds to collapse into a black hole.Within this scenario,we present the comparisons of the X-ray plateau luminosity,break time,and the parameters of magnetar between CDF-S XT2 and other short GRBs with internal plateau samples.By adopting the collapse time to constrain the equation of state(EOS),we find that three EOSs(GM1,DD2,and DDME2)are consistent with the observational data.On the other hand,if the most released rotation energy of magnetar is dominated by GW radiation,we also constrain the upper limit of ellipticity of NS for given EOS,and its range is[0.32-1.3]×10^-3.Its GW signal cannot be detected by Advanced LIGO or even for more sensitive Einstein Telescope in the future.     

Is GRB 100418A a Cosmic Twin of GRB 060614?

GRB 100418A is a long burst at z?=?0.624 without detection of associated supernova (SN). We present a detailed analysis on this event and discuss possible origins of its multi-wavelength emission. The temporal features of this event is similar to GRB 060614, a well-known nearby long GRB without SN association (possibly a Type I GRB), indicating that the two events may be cosmic twins. However, both the circum-burst medium density and the GRB classification based on the gamma-ray energy and spectrum suggest that GRB 100418A would be a Type II GRB. These results make a great puzzle on the progenitors of this kind of events, if they belong to the same population.     

An Analytic Model of Galactic Winds and Mass Outflows

Galactic winds and mass outflows are observed both in nearby starburst galaxies and in high-redshift star-forming galaxies. We develop a simple analytic model to understand the observed superwind phenomenon with a discussion of the model uncertainties. Our model is built upon the model of McKee & Ostriker for the interstellar medium. It allows one to predict how properties of a superwind, such as wind velocity and mass outflow rate, are related to properties of its starforming host galaxy, such as size, gas density and star formation rate. The model predicts a threshold of star formation rate density for the generation of observable galactic winds. Galaxies with more concentrated star formation activities produce superwinds with higher velocities. The predicted mass outflow rates are comparable to (or slightly larger than) the corresponding star formation rates. We apply our model to both local starburst galaxies and high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, and find its predictions to be in good agreement with current observations. Our model is simple and so can be easily incorporated into numerical simulations and semi-analytical models of galaxy formation.

地面脉动在昌吉小区划中的应用

通过昌吉地震小区划中地面脉动观测结果与实测的场地土弹性波速、钻孔资料分析研究认为:地面脉动频谱特征在区域上受地貌单元的制约,在同一个地貌单元,不同测点脉动频谱特性无多大差别,峰值都几乎接近。不同地貌单元,土层类型不同频谱形状也不尽相同。在层状土层组合的场地中,脉动谱形态还反映了土层的结构特征。     

四川金川八步里沟沟谷地貌与泥石流

八步里沟流域内有4200—4300米,3700—3800米和 3000—3200米三级夷平面,沟口至八角有五级河流阶地。主沟北岸占流域面积的1/3,南岸占2/3。这种沟谷地貌特点经历了约200多万年的发展历史。自然历史上的泥石流比现代规模要大。八步里沟泥石流综合防治工程的完成并不意味着和泥石流作斗争的事业结束,效益观测和维修养护工作必须制度化,方能长久运用,发挥效益。
