太阳矢量在行星际探测器姿态估计中的应用研究

在基于矢量观测的行星际探测器姿态确定中,参考矢量的几何关系是影响姿态估计精度的一个重要因素。针对这一问题,本文提出了一种利用太阳矢量来提高探测器姿态估计精度的最优算法。该方法在引入太阳矢量的基础上,将星敏感器测得的姿态四元数转化为两个互相垂直的参考矢量,并根据敏感器的测量精度计算相应的规范化权值系数;结合姿态四元数估计算法,给出最小二乘意义下的探测器最优姿态估计。最后,以深度撞击任务的实际飞行数据对本文所提算法进行验证。仿真结果表明,引入太阳矢量后的三轴姿态角估计误差小于150μrad,完全满足深度撞击任务的要求。

基于螺旋理论描述的空间相对运动姿轨同步控制

对于姿轨运动存在严重耦合的空间相对接近操作,必须解决相对运动的姿轨同步控制问题。传统的相对姿轨分开建模串行控制方法,忽略了姿轨耦合,控制周期长且姿轨同步性差,显然不能满足要求。基于螺旋理论中的对偶数描述,建立了航天器六自由度相对运动模型,不仅包含了姿轨耦合项,而且形式统一有利于同步控制律的设计。针对模型中的耦合项进行分析,给出了相对姿轨耦合产生的成因。建立了相对姿轨同步误差,考虑模型的非线性,基于非线性反馈设计了一种同步控制律以消除该误差,并利用Lyapunov理论证明了控制律的稳定性。以两航天器交会接近的最后逼近段进行数字仿真,并与PD控制相对比,验证了所提方法的有效性,同时验证了所提方法可以实现姿轨控制的同步收敛,对于空间相对运动的姿轨同步操作具有重要意义。     

卫星编队飞行输出反馈姿态协同跟踪控制

针对卫星编队飞行姿态协同跟踪的控制过程中角速度信息不可测及外界常值干扰的问题,提出输出反馈协同控制器的设计方法。首先,利用绝对及相对姿态误差信息设计含有积分项的滤波器,并在控制器中引入滤波器的输出信息;同时,考虑到卫星的模型不确定性,设计自适应估计器以对卫星的转动惯量进行在线估计。此外,论证了当卫星编队的通信拓扑结构满足无向树形结构的条件时,仅对任意一颗卫星期望姿态可知即可使整个系统协同收敛于期望值。设计的控制器无需卫星角速度信息即可使角速度信息协同达到期望值,并且引入积分项使得闭环控制系统对常值干扰有良好抑制效果,同时给出降低系统的信息通信压力的分析。最后将提出的算法应用于无需角速度信息反馈的卫星编队飞行的协同控制,仿真结果表明该方法的可行性与有效性,具有实际的应用前景。

Asymmetric precipitation in a coronal loop as explanation of a singular observed spectrum

Almost 10 years of solar submillimeter observations have shown new aspects of solar activity, such as the presence of rapid solar spikes associated with the launch of coronal mass ejections and an increasing submillimeter spectral component in flares. We analyse the singular microwave–submillimeter spectrum of an M class solar flare on 20 December, 2002. Flux density observations measured by Sun patrol telescopes and the Solar Submillimeter Telescope are used to build the radio spectrum, which is fitted using Ramaty’s code. At submillimeter frequencies the spectrum shows a component different from the microwave classical burst. The fitting is achieved proposing two homogeneous sources of emission. This theoretical fitting is in agreement with differential precipitation through a magnetically asymmetric loop or set of loops. From a coronal magnetic field model we infer an asymmetric magnetic structure at the flare location. The model proposed to quantify the differential precipitation rates due to the asymmetry results in a total precipitation ratio Q₂/Q₁≈10⁴–10⁵, where Q₁(Q₂) represents the total precipitation in the loop foot with the high (low) magnetic field intensity. This ratio agrees with the electron total number ratio of the two sources proposed to fit the radio spectrum.     

Driving major solar flares and eruptions: A review

This review focuses on the processes that energize and trigger M- and X-class solar flares and associated flux-rope destabilizations. Numerical modeling of specific solar regions is hampered by uncertain coronal-field reconstructions and by poorly understood magnetic reconnection; these limitations result in uncertain estimates of field topology, energy, and helicity. The primary advances in understanding field destabilizations therefore come from the combination of generic numerical experiments with interpretation of sets of observations. These suggest a critical role for the emergence of twisted flux ropes into pre-existing strong field for many, if not all, of the active regions that produce M- or X-class flares. The flux and internal twist of the emerging ropes appear to play as important a role in determining whether an eruption will develop predominantly as flare, confined eruption, or CME, as do the properties of the embedding field. Based on reviewed literature, I outline a scenario for major flares and eruptions that combines flux-rope emergence, mass draining, near-surface reconnection, and the interaction with the surrounding field. Whether deterministic forecasting is in principle possible remains to be seen: to date no reliable such forecasts can be made. Large-sample studies based on long-duration, comprehensive observations of active regions from their emergence through their flaring phase are needed to help us better understand these complex phenomena.     

Coronal fast wave trains of the decimetric type IV radio event observed during the decay phase of the June 6, 2000 flare

The 22 min long decimetric type IV radio event observed during the decay phase of the June 6, 2000 flare simultaneously by the Brazilian Solar Spectroscope (BSS) and the Ond?ejov radiospectrograph in frequency range 1200–4500 MHz has been analyzed. We have found that the characteristic periods of about 60 s belong to the long-period spectral component of the fast wave trains with a tadpole pattern in their wavelet power spectra. We have detected these trains in the whole frequency range 1200–4500 MHz. The behavior of individual wave trains at lower frequencies is different from that at higher frequencies. These individual wave trains have some common as well as different properties. In this paper, we focus on two examples of wave trains in a loop segment and the main statistical parameters in their wavelet power and global spectra are studied and discussed.
