Orbital phase spectroscopy of four high mass X-ray binary pulsars to study the stellar wind of the companion

Our work focuses on a comprehensive orbital phase-dependent spectroscopy of the four High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsars (HMXBPs) 4U 1538-52, GX 301-2, OAO 1657-415 and Vela X-1. We hereby report the measurements of the variation of the absorption column density and iron-line flux along with other spectral parameters over the binary orbit for the above-mentioned HMXBPs in elliptical orbits, as observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the BeppoSAX satellites. A spherically symmetric wind profile was used as a model to compare the observed column density variations. Out of the four pulsars, only in 4U 1538-52, we find the model having a reasonable corroboration with the observations, whereas in the remaining three the stellar wind seems to be clumpy and a smooth symmetric stellar wind model appears to be quite inadequate in explaining the data. Moreover, in GX 301-2, neither the presence of a disk nor a gas stream from the companion was validated. Furthermore, the spectral results obtained in the case of OAO 1657-415 and Vela X-1 were more or less similar to that of GX 301-2.     

The effect of neglecting VLBI reference station clock offsets on UT1 estimates

Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) allows to monitor universal time (UT1) by conducting regular international experiments. Such dedicated observation networks are equipped with different hardware components, which require different processing strategies when the data are correlated. As the timing units at each stations are usually offset with respect to universal time (UTC) this effect should be considered during correlation processing. Thus, it is investigated how neglecting of these offsets theoretically impacts the estimation of UT1. Three different strategies for the proper handling of the timing offset will be discussed and their advantages/drawbacks will be pointed out. Moreover, it is studied how neglecting of these timing offsets affects UT1 time-series and how such a missing correction can be applied a posteriori. Although the discussed effect is for most of the UT1 experiments smaller than the formal error of the estimates, it is important to consider station clock offsets properly in next-generation VLBI systems, which are expected to improve accuracy of results by about one order of magnitude.     

Introduction to the Payloads and the Initial Observation Results of Chang＇E-1

Chang'E-1,the orbiter circling the moon 200km above the moon surface,is the first Chinese Lunar exploration satellite.The satellite was successfully launched on 24th October 2007.There are 8 kinds of scientific payloads onboard,including the stereo camera,the laser altimeter,the Sagnac-based interferometer image spectrometer,the Gamma ray spectrometer,the X-ray spectrom-eter,the microwave radiometer,the high energy particle detector,the solar wind plasma detector and a supporting payload data management system.Chang'E-1 opened her eyes to look at the moon and took the first batch of lunar pictures after her stereo camera was switched on in 20th November 2007.Henceforth all the instruments are successfully switched on one by one.After a period of parameter adjustment and initial check out,all scientific instruments are now in their normal operating phase.In this paper,the payloads and the initial observation results are introduced.

SiO2f/SiO2复合材料自身及其与铜、不锈钢的钎焊

采用AgCuTi活性钎料,在880℃/10min规范下成功实现了SiO2f/SiO2自身、SiO2f/SiO2与Cu和SiO2f/SiO2与1Cr18Ni9Ti三种接头的连接。实验结果表明,三种接头中靠近SiO2f/SiO2母材的界面处均形成了一层薄薄的扩散反应层组织,反应层中出现了Ti和O的富集,根据两者的原子比例推断生成了TiO2相;另外,三种接头中心区都形成了由灰色相和白色相共同组成的Ag-Cu共晶组织,其中灰色相为Cu基固溶体,白色相为Ag基固溶体。接头剪切强度结果显示,SiO2f/SiO2/Cu接头剪切强度为12.4MPa,SiO2f/SiO2/1Cr18Ni9Ti接头剪切强度为18.4MPa,接头中的残余应力是决定接头强度大小的重要因素之一。

基于L1范数的k平面聚类算法设计

基于L2范数度量的k平面聚类(k-Plane Clustering,k PC)设计思想,本文提出了一种采用L1范数度量的聚类算法。由于在平面更新步骤中,所导出的优化问题是非凸的,文中给出了一种求解方法,即将非凸问题转化为有限个子集上的凸问题,为避免求解多个优化问题导致训练时间过长问题,本文还设计了一种新的优选策略,有限个子集的搜索任务可在线性时间内完成。本文所提出的方法只需要求解k个线性规划,而不再是k PC的求解特征值问题。在人工和UCI数据集上的实验结果表明:基于L1范数平面聚类算法的训练和测试时间更短,且在大多数数据集上均表现出了更好的聚类性能。     

第一届航空CFD可信度研讨会总结

总结了第一届航空可信度研讨会(AeCW-1)的数值模拟结果。AeCW-1会议由中国空气动力学会计算空气动力学专委会主办,并在第一届空气动力学大会上做了专题研讨。本次研讨会吸引了14家单位参与,共提交了26组计算结果。活动的主要目的是针对典型运输机巡航构型,评估国内CFD当前技术状态,探索CFD进一步发展的研究方向,促进CFD验证和确认工作的开展,为大型客机的研制提供技术支撑。AeCW-1选择的研究模型为中国空气动力研究与发展中心(CARDC)设计的单通道运输机模型(CHN-T1),CHN-T1包括机身/机翼/平尾/立尾等部件,分别在CRADC的2.4m×2.4m风洞(FL-26)、欧洲的2.4m×2.0m风洞中(European Transonic Wind Tunnel,ETW)开展了风洞试验。AeCW-1组委会提供了系列结构网格和非结构网格,研究工况主要包括网格收敛性研究、抖振特性研究、雷诺数影响研究,风洞模型支撑装置和静气动弹性变形对数值模拟结果的影响是重要的研究内容。本文对提交组委会的数值模拟结果进行统计分析,并与FL-26及部分ETW的风洞试验结果进行了对比,对未来的研究工作提出了意见和建议。     

基于嵌套网格的CHN-T1标模数值模拟

为响应第一届航空CFD可信度研讨会(AeCW-1),对CHN-T1标模翼身-尾翼组合体构型采用两种RANS求解器进行了基于结构化嵌套网格的网格收敛性研究和抖振特性计算,并与对接网格结果进行了对比分析。参考AeCW-1网格生成指南自主研发了一族以约3.3倍规模增长的稀-中等-密-特密嵌套网格系列。相比于分区点对接网格,融合了贴体网格和笛卡尔网格优势的嵌套网格从根本上降低了网格生成难度,单块网格拓扑形式更为合理且正交性较好,同时能够有效地平衡近场和远场的网格量。对于跨音速运输机构型,同等规模下嵌套网格的物面网格密度较对接网格更大,能够对激波和分离等复杂流动进行更理想的预测。对比计算过程中,自研求解器OFS3D表现出了较高的嵌套网格计算效率和可靠性,而NASA CFL3D求解器的嵌套网格计算能力有待进一步挖掘和验证。计算还发现,不同湍流模型得到的表面压力分布、分离区大小以及最大升力系数存在差别,而风洞模型支撑和机翼静气弹变形对飞行器力矩特性预测影响较大。
