Twelve years of tracking 52-Hz whale calls from a unique source in the North Pacific

A unique whale call with 50–52 Hz emphasis from a single source has been tracked over 12 years in the central and eastern North Pacific. These calls, referred to as 52-Hz calls, were monitored and analyzed from acoustic data recorded by hydrophones of the US Navy Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) and other arrays. The calls were noticed first in 1989, and have been detected and tracked since 1992. No other calls with similar characteristics have been identified in the acoustic data from any hydrophone system in the North Pacific basin. Only one series of these 52-Hz calls has been recorded at a time, with no call overlap, suggesting that a single whale produced the calls. The calls were recorded from August to February with most in December and January. The species producing these calls is unknown. The tracks of the 52-Hz whale were different each year, and varied in length from 708 to 11,062 km with travel speeds ranging from 0.7 to 3.8 km/h. Tracks included (A) meandering over short ranges, (B) predominantly west-to-east movement, and (C) mostly north-to-south travel. These tracks consistently appeared to be unrelated to the presence or movement of other whale species (blue, fin and humpback) monitored year-round with the same hydrophones.

江西宜丰同安花岗细晶岩年代学及其成因研究

燕山期甘坊复式岩体是宜丰锂铌钽稀有金属矿田重要的赋矿岩体,细晶岩作为甘坊岩体晚阶段岩浆演化的产物,与区内细晶岩型稀有金属成矿作用关系密切,但前人对该类岩石及其成矿作用特征研究较薄弱。本文以甘坊岩体南侧同安矿区内的花岗细晶岩为研究对象,对其展开系统的岩相学、锡石U-Pb年代学和全岩地球化学分析。锡石U-Pb定年结果表明,同安花岗细晶岩形成时代为138.3 Ma。全岩地球化学分析结果显示,该类岩石具高磷铝、富碱钙、贫镁铁钛的特征,且A/CNK值(1.71～1.88)较高,σ值(1.40～1.72)较低,属于典型的强过铝质、高钾钙碱性岩石。全岩微量及稀土元素成分显示,同安花岗细晶岩具有稀土元素强烈亏损,相对富集Rb、U、Nb、Ta、Pb、P、Hf和明显亏损Ba、Th、Sr、Ti等元素的特征。综上所述,同安花岗细晶岩属高分异的S型花岗岩,来源于地壳浅部变沉积岩物质的部分熔融。在演化过程中,经历过早期高度结晶分异过程和晚期的岩浆-热液相互作用,其中早期的高度结晶分异过程对Li成矿起到了初始富集的作用,而演化晚期的岩浆-热液相互作用才是Li元素高度富集并成矿的关键。     

内蒙古扎拉格阿木铜矿成矿流体与成矿机制

扎拉格阿木铜矿床位于锡林浩特地块北部边缘,矿体赋存于二叠纪砂质板岩和角砾岩中,受NE向断裂控制,为中温热液脉型铜矿床。本文通过流体包裹体和C?H?O?S?Pb同位素地球化学研究手段,来探讨扎拉格阿木铜矿成矿机制。成矿热液期存在5个成矿阶段：钾长石阶段、石英?绢云母阶段、石英?黄铁矿阶段、石英?多金属硫化物阶段、石英?方解石阶段。其中石英?多金属硫化物阶段为主成矿阶段,本阶段主要发育富液相、富气相、含子矿物包裹体;富液相包裹体均一温度与盐度分别为：138～289℃和2.06%～16.11% NaCl eqv;含子矿物包裹体均一温度与盐度分别为：320～374℃和32.68%～39.81% NaCl eqv,包裹体气体成分除少量CO2以外,均为H2O。H?O同位素分析表现为,石英中的〖δO〗^18值变化范围－8.5‰～7.5‰,流体的δD值变化范围为－116‰～－98‰,暗示早阶段成矿流体主要为岩浆热液,晚期伴有大气降水混入。C?O同位素分析表明,δ13C值为-6.9‰~ -10.1‰,δ18OSMOW介于2.5‰~11.7‰,在δ18O?δ13C 图上数据点落在岩浆水与大气水的中间区域。矿石硫化物的δ34S值介于-4.5‰~1.5‰,指示具有幔源岩浆硫的特征。矿石硫化物Pb同位素的208Pb/204Pb、207Pb/204Pb和206Pb/204Pb比值分别为38.034~38.609、15.497~15.655和18.141~18.446,推测Pb具有地幔来源的特点并伴有地壳或造山带Pb混入。成矿过程中伴随着流体沸腾作用,成矿物质沉淀受早期形成的岩浆热液与后加入大气降水混合的影响。

Mapping the magnetosphere of PSR B1055−52

We present a geometric study of the radio and γ-ray pulsar B1055−52 based on recent observations at the Parkes radio telescope. We conclude that the pulsar's magnetic axis is inclined at an angle of 75° to its rotation axis and that both its radio main pulse and interpulse are emitted at the same height above their respective poles. This height is unlikely to be higher or much lower than 700 km, a typical value for radio pulsars.
It is argued that the radio interpulse arises from emission formed on open fieldlines close to the magnetic axis which do not pass through the magnetosphere's null (zero-charge) surface. However, the main pulse emission must originate from fieldlines lying well outside the polar cap boundary beyond the null surface, and farther away from the magnetic axis than those of the outer gap region where the single γ-ray peak is generated. This casts doubt on the common assumption that all pulsars have closed, quiescent, corotating regions stretching to the light cylinder.
