Spectroscopic Study of Natural Diamonds in China

It has become clear in recent years that the important substitutional impurities in diamond are nitrogen,hydrogen and boron(Bibby,D.M.,1982).The physical and chemical properties of diamond are determined by the content and form of occurence of nitrogen based on which diamonds are generally classified.The well-known experiments concerning the mutual transformation of the forms the origin of diamond.by Evans.T.Et al.(1982) have provided a theoretic basis for the origin of diamond.Since 1979,spectroscopic investigation of natural diamonds from different areas in china has been carried out using UV-visible and IR spectrophotometer,EPR and cathodoluminescence techniques.We have conducted the classification of natural cathodoluminescence techniques.We have conducted the classification of natural diamonds in China and studies on the forms of nitrogen and hydrogen,the radiation damage and their geological implications.Spectroscopic characteristics of natural diamonds in china and their geological implications are discussed in this paper.     

Color-Redshift Relations and Photometric Redshift Estimations of Quasars in Large Sky Surveys

With a recently constructed composite quasar spectrum and the X2 minimization technique, we describe a general method for estimating the photometric redshifts of a large sample of quasars by deriving theoretical color-redshift relations and comparing the theoretical colors with the observed ones. We estimated the photometric redshifts from the 5-band SDSS photometric data of 18678 quasars in the first major data release of SDSS and compared them with their spectroscopic redshifts. The difference is less than 0.1 for 47% of the quasars and less than 0.2 for 68%. Based on the calculation of the theoretical color-color diagrams of stars, galaxies and quasars both on the SDSS system and on the BATC system, we expect that we would be able to select candidates of high redshift quasars more efficaciously with the latter than with the former, provided the BATC survey can detect objects with magnitudes fainter than 21.

LAMOST一维光谱提取算法的分析与比较

针对LAMOST (Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope)2维光谱图像数据,对6种抽谱算法进行了分析与比较.比较的算法包括孔径法、轮廓拟合法、直接反卷积方法、基于Tikhonov正则化的反卷积抽谱算法、基于自适应Landweber迭代的反卷积抽谱算法以及基于Richardson-Lucy迭代的反卷积抽谱算法.通过实验对这些算法在信噪比和分辨率两个方面进行了比较,发现基于Tikhonov正则化的反卷积抽谱算法、基于自适应Landweber迭代的反卷积抽谱算法以及基于RichardsonLucy迭代的反卷积抽谱算法是6种算法中最为可靠的3种抽谱算法.最后,对今后的工作进行了展望.     

Automated Stellar Classification for Large Surveys with EKF and RBF Neural Networks

An automated classification technique for large size stellar surveys is proposed. It uses the extended Kalman filter as a feature selector and pre-classifier of the data, and the radial basis function neural networks for the classification. Experiments with real data have shown that the correct classification rate can reach as high as 93%, which is quite satisfactory. When different system models are selected for the extended Kalman filter, the classification results are relatively stable. It is shown that for this particular case the result using extended Kalman filter is better than using principal component analysis.     

Molecular Orbital Study on the Optimized Geometries and Spectroscopic Parameters of Borate Polyhedra

In this paper several methods including MNDO, multiple scattering Xα and ab initio self-consistent-field MO theories have been used to calculate the minimum energy geometries, force constants, vibrational frequencies ,and ^11B quadruple coupling constants of B-O polyhedra such as [BO3],[BO4],[OB2] and [OB3].The results are in good agreement with the experimental and calcu-lated values so far published by other authors.     

DEFPOS and Its First Results

A spectrometer was built to examine the interstellar medium (ISM) using the hydrogen Balmer a line. It is called Dual Etalon Fabry-Perot Optical Spectrometer (DEFPOS). DEFPOS will be coupled to coude exit of the 150 cm telescope (RTT150) installed at TUBITAK National Observatory (TUG). DEFPOS was ready for observations about two years ago, but work was still continuing on the RTT150 coude exit alignment. So we have started observing HII regions with DEFPOS without the RTT150. We present here some characteristics of the instrument and some of the results obtained.     

Stellar Abundance and Galactic Chemical Evolution through LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey

A project of a spectroscopic survey of Galactic structure and evolution with a Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is presented. The spectroscopic survey consists of two observational modes for various targets in our Galaxy. One is a major survey of the Milky Way aimed at a systematic study of the stellar abundance and Galactic chemical evolution through low resolution (R=1000-2000) spectroscopy. Another is a follow-up observation with medium resolution (R = 10000) spectrographs aimed at detailed studies of the selected stars with different chemical composition, kinematics and dynamics.
