Evolution of the periodicities in 2S 0114+650

We have analysed 9 years of data from the All Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer for 2S 0114+650 to study the evolution of its spin, binary, and super-orbital periods. The spin history of the neutron star in this system exhibits torque reversals lasting 1 year. The newly discovered super-orbital period has remained stable over the 9-year span, making 2S 0114+650 the fourth known system to exhibit stable super-orbital modulation. We compare its super-orbital period evolution with those of the other three such systems.

模块化飞机结构优化设计的等效多工况法

随着航空科技的发展,追求飞机任务的多样化和低生命周期成本成为一大趋势,其中模块化飞机设计对于未来飞机设计的多用途以及经济性具有实际意义。针对模块化飞机结构优化设计的特点,提出了等效多工况(EMCO)法,将模块化结构优化问题分解为通用模块的多工况优化问题和各专用模块的独立优化问题。通用模块等效为承受多工况载荷的结构,并按多工况优化方法进行优化设计,使通用模块质量最轻。各型号的专用模块在此基础上分别进行独立的优化设计。通用模块和专用模块交替优化,直至目标函数值收敛。最后,分别通过模块化桁架结构和机翼结构优化实例展示了该方法的运用效果,并与单独优化结果和加权单目标优化结果进行了对比。结果表明该方法降低了计算规模,收敛效果较好。     

Multiband echo tomography of Sco X-1

We present preliminary results of a simultaneous X-ray/optical campaign of the prototypical LMXB Sco X-1 at 1–10 Hz time resolution. Lightcurves of the high excitation Bowen/HeII emission lines and a red continuum at λ_c  6000 Å were obtained through narrow interference filters with ULTRACAM, and these were cross-correlated with simultaneous RXTE X-ray lightcurves. We find evidence for correlated variability, in particular when Sco X-1 enters the Flaring branch. The Bowen/HeII lightcurves lag the X-ray lightcurves with a light travel time which is consistent with reprocessing in the companion star while the continuum lightcurves have shorter delays consistent with reprocessing in the accretion disc.     

Keck observations of ROSAT ultra-luminous X-ray source candidates

We present results of optical follow-up observations of candidate ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Using Keck optical spectroscopy, 17 of the candidates from the Colbert and Ptak [Colbert, E.J.M., Ptak, A.F. A catalog of candidate intermediate-luminosity X-ray objects. ApJS 143, 25–45, 2002] catalog have been identified; this is one of the largest sets of optical identifications of such objects thus far. Fifteen are background active galactic nuclei (AGN); two are foreground stars in our Galaxy. These findings are consistent with background and foreground object expectations, as derived from log N–log S relations. Also, the results are briefly discussed in terms of the spiral-galaxy/ULX connection.     

一种起落架载荷谱相似性判别方法

起落架结构的寿命监控对保障其安全性与经济性具有重要作用,但由于地面谱复杂的高低载荷非线性交互作用,难以准确计算单机谱的损伤。以当量损伤计算方法为基础,通过对寿命监控中的单机谱进行初步筛选,判别单机谱与基准谱的相似程度,进而分析损伤计算方法的适用性。提出了一种基于时间序列分析中的动态时间弯曲方法的起落架载荷谱相似性判别方法,进行了基准谱与4个单机谱下的疲劳实验,通过分析损伤计算误差与起落架载荷谱相似距离的关系,验证所提载荷谱相似性判别方法的合理性。      

RATAN-600 and RadioAstron reveal the neutrino-associated blazar TXS 0506+056 as a typical variable AGN

The possible association with the high-energy neutrino event IceCube-170922A has sparked interest in the blazar TXS 0506+056. We present 72 instantaneous 1–22 GHz spectra measured over the past 20 years with the RATAN-600 telescope and compare them with the results of observations of 700 variable Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) studied within the same program. The recent radio flare of TXS 0506+056 started from a minimum in 2013 and reached its first peak in December 2017 and a second peak in May-June 2018. This was the third strong radio flare in this source since 1997. The spectrum remains nearly flat during the flares. The spectral shape and variability pattern observed in TXS 0506+056 are typical for variable AGN. RadioAstron Space VLBI observations in 2013–2015 did not detect TXS 0506+056 on space-ground baselines of more than 9 Earth diameters. However, an observation on 23 September 2015 resulted in the detection of interferometric signal on 6 Earth diameter baselines at 18 cm close to the detection limit. We consider the possibility that TXS 0506+056 and other AGN may accelerate relativistic protons more efficiently than electrons. Relativistic protons are necessary to produce both the high-energy neutrinos observed in the IceCube Observatory and the high AGN brightness temperatures implied by the RadioAstron detection. They may also provide the main contribution to the observed synchrotron radiation of parsec-scale AGN jets. This supports the suggestion that relativistic protons may play a much more important part in extragalactic astrophysics than earlier anticipated.

基于流动控制的水下航行体流体动力特性分析

利用CFX对水下航行体流体动力特性进行了数值模拟研究.求解了混合介质的剪切压力输运湍流模型控制方程、雷诺-平均奈维尔-斯托克斯方程以及各相间的质量输运方程,采用三维数值模拟方法对比分析了不同流动控制方案的水下航行体空泡形态特征、表面压力分布和阻力系数变化特性,讨论了不同参数对减阻效果的影响.结果表明,对于有横流作用的水下垂直发射航行体,多相流动控制不仅可以降低通气空泡的不对称性和航行体阻力,同时可以均匀迎流面和背流面压力,从而实现航行体多相流空泡形态及表面压力特性等的控制.此外,通气口的位置对减阻效果具有显著影响.
