超声振动载荷下S06钢的长寿命疲劳性能

采用超声疲劳试验方法对新型沉淀硬化马氏体不锈钢S06钢在106~109周次范围的疲劳性能进行测定,结果表明:S06钢在循环周次大于107周次的范围仍然发生疲劳断裂,在106~109之间,应力寿命曲线持续下降,不存在疲劳极限,用107周次的条件疲劳极限来对S06钢长寿命构件进行无限寿命设计是不安全的.用载荷类型相同并且试样尺寸相近的高频疲劳试验方法对S06钢104~107周次的疲劳性能进行测定,将数据与超声疲劳试验结果进行对比发现:超声疲劳试验方法获得的S06钢的疲劳强度更高.用两种加载频率下106~107周次左右的试验数据拟合得到中值应力寿命曲线,根据应力寿命关系式中的疲劳强度系数的比值来对超声疲劳试验数据进行修正.在考虑了裂纹萌生机制和进行了频率影响修正的情况下,用线性异方差回归方法将超声疲劳试验数据拟合得到S06钢的长寿命P-S-N曲线,为长寿命构件的疲劳设计提供了基础.     

Energetic particles in the night-time middle- and low-latitude ionosphere

Data are presented on the zones of energetic particle precipitation at middle and low latitudes observed during and after magnetic storm injection events. Satellite measurements of the equatorial zone ion flux (～ 10³ - 10⁴ cm^?2 s^?1 sr^?1 for E > 45 keV at 240 km) are consistent with the development of a temporary low altitude ion radiation belt at the magnetic equator. In the midlatitude ion zone the flux (～ 10³ - 10⁵ ions cm^?2 s^?1 sr^?1 for E > 45 keV at 220 km) is directly related to magnetic activity while the midlatitude electron zone flux has a delayed response (～ 4 days).     

Some features of the interplanetary disturbances in the post-solar maximum year period

Features of strong interplanetary disturbances (including 14 shock waves) are considered by the solar wind plasma measurements onboard the PROGNOZ-8 satellite. Examination of large-scale structure of the plasma fluxes enabled us to discover extreme values of proton temperature (～10⁶K) and density (～10²cm^?3) in some cases.The energy transferred by the interplanetary shock waves (10³¹–10³² erg) and their deceleration are estimated. Determination of the plasma parameter jumps for protons and α-particles at the shock front made it possible to estimate the potential barrier (40–400V) depending on magnetosonic Mach number.     

热处理对纳米氧化锆热障涂层热物性的影响

采用大气等离子喷涂(APS)在GH33基体上制备了氧化锆纳米结构涂层,运用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)和拉曼光谱(RS)等分析手段对原料粉末和涂层的显微结构、相组成进行了观察和确定,分别利用激光脉冲技术测量了热处理前后涂层的热扩散率.实验结果表明,等离子喷涂氧化锆纳米涂层颗粒分布在65~110nm之间,大于原料粉末的40~70nm,涂层主要由亚稳四方相氧化锆组成.1050℃下热处理34h后,涂层的热扩散率从制备态的2.15×10-3~2.75×10-3cm2/s升高到2.65×10-3~3.25×10-3cm2/s.      

Venus EUV measurements of hydrogen and helium from Venera 11 and Venera 12

Lyman α and 58.4 nm HeI radiations resonantly scattered were observed with EUV spectrophotometers flown on Venera 11 and Venera 12. The altitude distribution of hydrogen was derived by limb observations from 250 km (exobase level) to 50,000 km. In the inner exosphere (up to ? 2,000 km of altitude) the distribution can be described by a classical exospheric distribution with T_C = 275 ± 25 K and n = 4_?2⁺³ × 10⁴ atom. cm^?3 at 250 km. The integrated number density from 250 to 110 km (the level of CO₂ absorption) is 2.1 × 10¹² atom. cm^?2, a factor of 3 to 6 lower than that predicted by aeronomical models. This number density decreases from the morning side to the afternoon side, or alternately from equatorial to polar regions. Above 2,000 km a “hot” hydrogen population dominates, which can be simulated by T = 10³K and n = 10³ atom. cm^?3 at the exobase level.The optical thickness of helium above 141 km (the level of CO₂ absorption for 58.4 nm radiation) was determined to be τ_o = 3, corresponding to a density at 150 km of 1.6 × 10⁶ cm^?3. This is about 3 times less than what was obtained with the Bus Neutral Mass Spectrometer of Pioneer Venus, and about twice less than ONMS measurements, but is in agreement with earlier EUV measurement by Mariner 10 (2 ± 1 × 10⁶ cm^?3).     

Multiple wavelength observations of flaring active regions

We present observations of flaring active regions with the Very Large Array (V.L.A. at 6 cm and 20 cm wavelengths) and the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (W.S.R.T. at 6 cm wavelength). These are compared with photospheric magnetograms (Meudon) and with Hα and offband Hα photographs (Big Bear and Ottawa River Solar Observatories). The 6 cm radiation of these active regions marks the legs of dipolar loops which have their footpoints in lower-lying sunspots. The intense, million degree radiation at 6 cm lies above sunspot umbrae in coronal regions where the longitudinal magnetic field strength H_? = 600 Gauss and the height above the sunspot umbrae h = 3.5±0.5 × 10⁹ cm. Circularly polarized horseshoe structures at 6 cm ring the sunspot umbrae. The high degree of circular polarization (?_c = 95%) of the horseshoes is attributed to gyroresonant emission above sunspot^? penumbrae. The 20 cm radiation of these active regions exhibits looplike coronal structures which extend across regions of opposite magnetic polarity in the underlying photosphere. The 20 cm loops are the radio wavelength counterparts of the X-ray coronal loops. We infer semilengths L = 5 × 10⁹ cm, maximum electron temperatures T_e(max) = 3 × 10⁶ K, emission measures ∫N_e²d$\text{l}$ = 10²⁸ cm^?5, and electron densities N_e = 10⁹ cm^?3 (or pressures p = 1 dyn cm^?2) for the 20 cm bremsstrahlung. A total of eight solar bursts were observed at 6 cm or 20 cm wavelength with second-of-arc angular resolution. The regions of burst energy were all resolved with angular sizes between 5″ and 30″, brightness temperatures between 2 × 10⁷ K and 2 × 10⁸ K, and degrees of circular polarization between 10% and 90%. The impulsive phase of the radio bursts are located near the magnetic neutral lines of the active regions, and between the flaring Hα kernels which mark the footpoints of magnetic loops. In one case there was preburst heating in the coronal loop in which a burst occurred. Snapshot maps at 10 s intervals reveal interesting burst evolution including rapid changes of circular polarization and an impulsive burst which was physically separated from both the preburst radio emission and the gradual decay phase of the burst.     

Effect of gravity on coupled convective and interfacial instabilities during directional solidification

We investigate the role of gravity in a linear stability analysis of the onset of coupled convective and morphological instabilities during directional solidification at constant velocity of a dilute alloy of tin in lead. For solidification vertically upwards, the temperature gradient alone would cause a negative density gradient and the solute gradient alone would cause a positive density gradient. Two types of instability are found, a convective type that occurs for long wavelengths and a morphological type that occurs for short wavelengths. In general, these are coupled but the morphological instabilities are practically independent of gravity and thus correspond to the predictions of previous morphological stability theory in which density changes and convection are neglected. The convective instabilities depend strongly on gravity; for a growth velocity of V = 1 μm/s and a temperature gradient in the liquid of G_L = 200 K/cm, the critical concentrations for convective instabilities are 3.1 × 10^?4, 3.1 × 10^?2 and 2.39 wt. % for g_e = 980 cm/s², 10^?4 g_e and 10^?6 g_e, respectively. For low velocities, the convective instabilities occur at much lower solute concentrations than the morphological instabilities whereas at high velocities, the reverse is true. At intermediate velocities where the changeover takes place, there are oscillitory instabilities of mixed character whose periods range from 60 s at g_e to 6 × 10⁴ s at 10^?6 g_e.     

The X-ray properties of normal galaxies

An extensive program to study nearby normal galaxies was carried out by various observers using the imaging instruments on the $\text{Einstein}$ Observatory; more than 50 such galaxies were detected with 0.5 – 3.0 keV luminosities ranging from 2 × 10³⁸ ergs s^?1 to 3 × 10⁴¹ergs s^?1. The X-ray luminosity of normal galaxies is ~2 × 10^?4 of the optical luminosity and shows no strong correlation with morphological type. For the nearest galaxies, (the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, M31 and M33,) studies, performed with the Observatory, were comparable to the $\text{Uhuru}$ survey of the Galaxy. Approximately 30 new SNR were recognized in the Magellanic Clouds as a result. Over 90 sources were detected in M31 of which at least 20 are identified with globular cluster. The numbers of luminous (>10³⁷ ergs s^?1) sources detected in the nearest galaxies per unit mass are similar to that found in our own galaxy. Individual X-ray sources in the arms of nearby spirals can be very luminous; seven with luminosities in excess of 10³⁹ergs s^?1 have been discovered. The nuclei of some, but not all, normal galaxies are luminous X-ray sources; X-ray activity is not presently predictable from the radio or optical properties of the nucleus.     

First calibration measurements with the dust impact detector DIDSY-IPM

The IPM detector consists of two separate impact ionization detectors, one of them covered by a 2.5 μm thick plastic film and a piezoelectric sensor mounted to the back of the joint impact plate. First impact tests, with iron projectiles in the mass range 10^?15 to 10^?9 g and in the speed range 1 km/s to 70 km/s, were performed with the calibration (FS) and the flight (F) model of this detector. The charge yield at 69 km/s impact speed (flyby speed of GIOTTO) has been extrapolated from the data and amounts to 400 Coulombs per gram. This corresponds to a preliminary sensitivity threshold for the impact ionization detector of about 6×10^?17 g. The penetration limit introduced by the plastic film is about 10^?14 g for iron particles. Only the biggest particles used for the test produced signals at the piezoelectric sensor. If one assumes an energy dependence of the piozoelectric signal, a preliminary sensitivity threshold of about 10^?13 g at 69 km/s can be established.     

基于LOLA数据的冯·卡门撞击坑太阳辐射研究

冯·卡门（Von Kármán）撞击坑是“嫦娥4号”的候选着陆区之一。基于LOLA高程数据,对当前的月球光照模型做出改进,建立了月表太阳辐射模型,对冯·卡门地区2018年太阳辐射进行了数值模拟分析。结果表明：地形对太阳辐射的影响很大,撞击坑的南部坑壁、中央峰北部以及内部小撞击坑南部坑壁接收的太阳辐射能较多,坑底平原大部分地区接收的太阳辐射能在（0.9~1）×10¹⁰ J/m²之间;不考虑月面坡度时,太阳辐射能量主要受纬度的影响,计算区域的变化范围为（0.87~1.01）×10¹⁰ J/m²。结合月表坡度和光照条件提出了两个候选着陆区（S1区和S2区）：S1区位于坑底南部平原,地势更平缓,日出更早,光照时间更长;S2区位于中央峰西北侧,接收的太阳辐射能量更多。两区全年平均接收的太阳辐射能分别为9.31×10⁹ J/m²和9.65×10⁹ J/m²,7月份光照时间最长,更适宜着陆。     

The LAGEOS satellites orbit and Yukawa-like interactions

LAGEOS II general relativity pericenter precession has been analysed in terms of the errors produced by the mismodelling of both the gravitational and non-gravitational perturbations acting on the satellite orbit. The accuracy in the pericenter determination may be considered as an upper-bound value for the estimate of the strength α of a possible new-long-range-interaction described by a Yukawa-like potential. In the present work we have focused on the constraints in α that can be obtained with the current best multi-satellites gravity field model EGM96 (α < 2.6 × 10⁻¹⁰) and also with the first promising models from the CHAMP (α < 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰) and GRACE (α < 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁰) gravimetric missions. These results represent, potentially, an improvement of two or three orders-of-magnitude with respect to the best constraints obtained in the past with Earth–LAGEOS and Lunar–LAGEOS data (|α| < 10⁻⁵–10⁻⁸). The impact of the non-gravitational perturbations mismodelling in the final error budget has been determined together with the improvements obtainable in the constraint of the strength α with the proposed LARES satellite.     

Gamma-ray spectroscopy: Status and prospects

Contemporary gamma-ray spectroscopy instruments and their results are reviewed. Sensitivities of 10^?4 to 10^?3 ph/cm²-sec have been achieved for steady sources and 10^?2 to 1 ph/cm²-sec for transient sources. This has led to the detection of gamma-ray lines from more than 40 objects representing 6 classes of astrophysical phenomena. The lines carry model-independent information and are of fundamental importance to theoretical modeling and our understanding of the objects. These results indicate that gamma-ray spectroscopy is relevant to a wide range of astrophysical problems and is becoming a major part of astronomy. The objectives and anticipated results of future instruments are discussed. Several instruments in development will have a factor of ～ 10 sensitivity improvement to certain phenomena over contemporary instruments. A factor of ～ 100 improvement in sensitivity will allow the full potential of gamma-ray spectroscopy to be realized. Instrument concepts which would achieve this with both present and advanced techniques are discussed.     

OPTIS – A Satellite test of Special and General Relativity

OPTIS has been proposed as a small satellite platform in a high elliptical orbit (apogee 40,000 km, perigee 10,000 km) and is designed for high precision tests of foundations of Special and General Relativity. The experimental set-up consists of two ultrastable Nd:YAG lasers, three crossed optical resonators (monolithic cavities), an ensemble of atomic clocks, an optical comb generator, laser tracking devices and a drag-free control system. OPTIS enables improved tests of (1) the isotropy and (2) constancy of the speed of light, (3) special relativistic time dilation, (4) the universality of the gravitational redshift by comparison of various clocks, can measure (5) the absolute value of the gravitational redshift, (6) the Lense–Thirring effect and (7) the perigee advance and (8) can make a test of a hypothetical Yukawa part in the gravitational potential. To avoid any influence from atmospheric drag, solar radiation, or Earth albedo, the satellite needs drag-free control to depress the residual acceleration down to 10⁻¹⁴ m/s² in the frequency range between 10⁻² and 10⁻³ Hz. Precise thermal control must be used to stabilize the cavity temperature to within one part in 10⁷ at time scales of 100 s and to one part in 10⁵ on the orbit time scale.     

Ionosphere-plasmasphere electron fluxes at middle latitudes obtained from whistlers

985 whistlers observed between 1970 and 1975 in Hungary have been processed for equatorial plasmaspheric electron density and tube electron content above 1000 km (N_T). The hourly median value of N_T exhibits a diurnal variation with an amplitude of 1×10¹³ electrons/cm²-tube. 75 per cent of the electron flux values obtained from the time variation of N_T are lower than 6×10⁸ el cm^?2s^?1, while in some cases the fluxes reach a value as high as 3×10⁹ el cm^?2s^?1. Between 17 and 04 LT the dominant flux direction is toward the ionosphere. The data also indicate that the day to day filling of the plasmasphere after magnetic disturbances continues through several days without exhibiting saturation, with higher filling rates for lower values of average K_p.     

The chemical conditions on the parent body of the murchison meteorite: Some conclusions based on amino, hydroxy and dicarboxylic acids

Amino and hydroxy acids have been identified in the Murchison meteorite. Their presence is consistent with a synthetic pathway involving aldehydes, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia in an aqueous environment (Strecker-cyanohydrin synthesis). From the various equilibrium and rate constants involved in this synthesis, four independent estimates of the ammonium ion concentrations on the parent body at the time of compound synthesis are obtained; all values are about 2 × 10^?3 M. Succinic acid and β-alanine have also been detected in the Murchison meteorite. Their presence is consistent with a synthesis from acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Using the equilibrium and rate constants for this synthetic pathway, and the succinic acid/β-alanine ratio measured in the Murchison meteorite, an estimate of the hydrogen cyanide concentration of 10^?3 to 10^?2 M is obtained. Since hydrogen cyanide hydrolyzes relatively rapidly in an aqueous environment ($\text{t}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{< 10}{}^4\text{yrs}$) this high concentration implies a period of synthesis of organic compounds as short as 10⁴ years on the Murchison meteorite parent body.     

Low energy observations of Cygnus X-2 by Ariel VI

Ariel VI observations of Cygnus X-2 have revealed a rather flat spectrum between 0.1 and 1.5 keV with variable emission at low energy. Of the two conflicting interpretations of this object in terms of i) a distant high-luminosity (L_x 10³⁸ ergs s⁻¹) binary and ii) a nearby low-luminosity (L_x 10³⁵ ergs s⁻¹) degenerate dwarf system, our measurements support the latter.     

Compact X-ray sources in nearby galaxy nuclei

We have found compact, near-nuclear X-ray sources in 21 (54%) of a complete sample of 39 nearby face-on spiral and elliptical galaxies with available ROSAT HRI data. ROSAT X-ray luminosities (0.2 – 2.4 keV) of these compact X-ray sources are ∼10³⁷ – 10⁴⁰ erg s⁻¹. The mean displacement between the location of the compact X-ray source and the optical photometric center of the galaxy is ∼390 pc. ASCA spectra of six of the 21 galaxies show the presence of a hard component with relatively steep (Γ ≈ 2.5) spectral slope. A multicolor disk blackbody plus power-law model fits the data from the spiral galaxies well, suggesting that the X-ray objects in these galaxies may be similar to a black hole candidate (BHC) in its soft (high) state. ASCA data from the elliptical galaxies indicate that hot (kT ≈ 0.7 keV) gas dominates the emission. The fact that the spectral slope of the spiral galaxy sources is steeper than in normal type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and that relatively low absorbing columns (N_H ≈ 10²¹ cm⁻²) were found to the power-law component indicates that these objects are somehow geometrically and/or physically different from AGNs in normal active galaxies. The X-ray sources in the spiral galaxies may be BHCs, low-luminosity AGNs, or possibly X-ray luminous supernovae. We estimate the black hole masses of the X-ray sources in the spiral galaxies (if they are BHCs or AGNs) to be ∼10²–10³ M_⊙. The X-ray sources in the elliptical galaxies may be BHCs, AGNs or young X-ray supernova also.     

Transport of ions in presence of induced electric field and electrostatic turbulence: Source of ions injected into ring current

The transport of ions from the polar ionosphere to the inner magnetosphere during stormtime conditions has been computed using a Monte Carlo diffusion code. The effect of the electrostatic turbulence assumed to be present during the substorm expansion phase was simulated by a process that accelerated the ions stochastically perpendicular to the magnetic field with a diffusion coefficient proportional to the energization rate of the ions by the induced electric field. This diffusion process was continued as the ions were convected from the plasma sheet boundary layer to the double-spiral injection boundary. Inward of the injection boundary, the ions were convected adiabatically. By using as input an O⁺ flux of 2.8 × 10⁸ cm^?2 s^?1 (w > 10 eV) and an H⁺ flux of 5.5 × 10⁸ cm^?2 s^?1 (w > .63 eV), the computed distribution functions of the ions in the ring current were found to be in good agreement, over a wide range in L (4 to 8), with measurements made with the ISEE-1 satellite during a storm. This O⁺ flux and a large part of the H⁺ flux are consistent with the DE satellite measurements of the polar ionospheric outflow during disturbed times.

The oriented scintillation spectrometer experiment for the gamma-ray observatory

The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) for the Gamma Ray Observatory is described. OSSE uses four identical NaI(T1)-CsI(Na) phoswich detectors to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection capability in the 0.05–10 MeV energy range. Additional gamma-ray and neutron detection capability is achieved above 10 MeV. Each detector has a CsI annular shield and a tungsten alloy collimator which define a 5° × 11° (FWHM) field-of-view. The detectors have independent, single-axis orientation systems which permit offset pointing to provide source-background subtraction. The sensitivity for line gamma rays in the 0.05–10 MeV region will be 2–3 × 10^?5 photons/cm²-s for a 10⁶-second observation period. The several modes of data acquisition and the emphases for the planned observational program are discussed.
