RPC-MAG The Fluxgate Magnetometer in the ROSETTA Plasma Consortium

The fluxgate magnetometer experiment onboard the ROSETTA spacecraft aims to measure the magnetic field in the interaction region of the solar wind plasma with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It consists of a system of two ultra light (about 28 g each ) triaxial fluxgate magnetometer sensors, mounted on the 1.5 m long spacecraft boom. The measurement range of each sensor is ±16384 nT with quantization steps of 31 pT. The magnetometer sensors are operated with a time resolution of up to 0.05 s, corresponding to a bandwidth of 0–10 Hz. This performance of the RPC-MAG sensors allows detailed analyses of magnetic field variations in the cometary environment. RPC-MAG furthermore is designed to study possible remnant magnetic fields of the nucleus, measurements which will be done in close cooperation with the ROSETTA lander magnetometer experiment ROMAP.     

Obscured Activity: AGN, Quasars, Starbursts and ULIGs Observed by the Infrared Space Observatory

Some of the most ‘active’ galaxies in the Universe are obscured by large quantities of dust and emit a substantial fraction of their bolometric luminosity in the infrared. Observations of these infrared luminous galaxies with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) have provided a relatively unabsorbed view to the sources fuelling this active emission. The improved sensitivity, spatial resolution and spectroscopic capability of ISO over its predecessor Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) of enabled significant advances in the understanding of the infrared properties of active galaxies. ISO surveyed a wide range of active galaxies which, in the context of this review, includes those powered by intense bursts of star formation as well as those containing a dominant active galactic nucleus (AGN). Mid-infrared imaging resolved for the first time the dust enshrouded nuclei in many nearby galaxies, while a new era in infrared spectroscopy was opened by probing a wealth of atomic, ionic and molecular lines as well as broad band features in the mid- and far-infrared. This was particularly useful, since it resulted in the understanding of the power production, excitation and fuelling mechanisms in the nuclei of active galaxies including the intriguing but so far elusive ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Detailed studies of various classes of AGN and quasars greatly improved our understanding of the unification scenario. Far-infrared imaging and photometry revealed the presence of a new very cold dust component in galaxies and furthered our knowledge of the far-infrared properties of faint starbursts, ULIGs and quasars. We summarise almost nine years of key results based on ISO data spanning the full range of luminosity and type of active galaxies.     

用于卫星推力室的新型催化剂

卫星上安装有用于轨道和姿态控制的小推力推力室。推力由三氧化二铝基的铱催化剂分解无水肼而产生。铱催化剂的主要缺点是成本高和生产技术复杂。目前的工作是把钼(M)、钨(W)的碳化物与氮化物的合成过程与成型联系起来,形成有大、中孔隙的新型催化剂,来代替昂贵的传统催化剂30%铱——三氧化二铝(即shell-405_(TM))。在这种新的工艺中,首先是制备胶状的钨酸和钼酸;然后把这些材料与有机聚合物混合,使之生成胶体溶液;再挤压成型。其次把生成的这些中间过渡产品送去加热处理,焚烧掉有机聚合物得到所期望的有大、中孔隙的氧化物。最后一步是按照Boudart和Volpi方法利用挤出物制备氮化物和碳化物。本文给出了用2N推力室试验新催化剂的主要试验结果,同时与Shell 405~(TM)的试验结果进行了比较。试验表明新催化剂有如下特点:比表面积大;能承受高达1100K的烧结温度;热试时室压和推力高度稳定,催化剂机械强度高。新催化剂的主要优点是生产工艺更简单而且成本更低。     

胶州湾环境污染—卫星遥感信息分析

陆地卫星主题绘图仪(TM)图象和我国国土普查卫星全景相机照片解译分析与现场调查表明,胶州湾东岸工业废水污染相当严重,主要污染源集中在海泊河、李村河、娄山河以及沧口区沿海一线,污染水带宽达4～7km,在落潮流携带下扩散至湾口外海。由青岛碱厂排污形成的“白滩”污染区现有面积为0.53km~2。青岛市大气污染严重,源自市区的烟羽宽达14km,顺风飘逸远达30km,势必造成酸雨等灾害。     

关于危险品运输的紧急救援

危险品运输是技术要求最高的一类特种货物运输。在运输、装卸及贮存保管过程中,稍有不慎便会发生事故,造成人身伤亡和财产毁损。笔者认为:灾害=事故十损失。严格执行危险品运输规章,减少事故发生率,从技术上进行要求。仅是问题的一个方面。而另一方面还应立足于事故发生后的紧急救援,以最大限度地减少损失,两者并重才不致酿成灾害。为此,提出了建立“危险品运输紧急救援中心”的建议。

What Determines the Composition of SEPs in Gradual Events?

Gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events are evidently accelerated by coronal/interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections. This talk addresses the different factors which determine the composition of the accelerated ions. The first factor is the set of available seed populations including the solar wind core and suprathermal tail, remnant impulsive events from preceding solar flares, and remnant gradual events. The second factor is the fractionation of the seed ions by the injection process, that is, what fraction of the ions are extracted by the shock to participate in diffusive shock acceleration. Injection is a controversial topic since it depends on the detailed electromagnetic structure of the shock transition and the transport of ions in these structured fields, both of which are not well understood or determined theoretically. The third factor is fractionation during the acceleration process, due to the dependence of ion transport in the turbulent electromagnetic fields adjacent to the shock on the mass/charge ratio. Of crucial importance in the last two factors is the magnetic obliquity of the shock. The form of the proton-excited hydromagnetic wave spectrum is also important. Finally, more subtle effects on ion composition arise from the superposition of ion contributions over the time history of the shock along the observer’s magnetic flux tube, and the sequence of flux tubes sampled by the observer.     

中心极限定理用于近似计算时必须注意的问题

本文着重指出,在运用中心极限定理近似计算独立同泊松分布随机变量之和的概率时,通常只注意了取n适当大的值,从而导致了差异较大的不同结果。本文指出了不仅要使n适当的大,而且也要使nλ足够地大。当X_h是其他离散型随机变量时,也要考虑类似的问题。
