The Swift Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients Project: A review,new results and future perspectives

We present a review of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT) Project, a systematic investigation of the properties of SFXTs with a strategy that combines Swift monitoring programs with outburst follow-up observations. This strategy has quickly tripled the available sets of broad-band data of SFXT outbursts, and gathered a wealth of out-of-outburst data, which have led us to a broad-band spectral characterization, an assessment of the fraction of the time these sources spend in each phase, and their duty cycle of inactivity. We present some new observational results obtained through our outburst follow-ups, as fitting examples of the exceptional capabilities of Swift in catching bright flares and monitor them panchromatically.     

Comparative study of high-latitude,mid-latitude and low-latitude ionosphere on basis of local empirical models

The analysis of the regular features of the high-, mid- and low-latitude ionosphere characteristics has been carried out using local empirical models. The local empirical models were derived from the manual scaled ionogram data recorded by DPS-4 Digisondes located at Norilsk (69 N, 88E), Irkutsk (52 N, 104E) and Hainan (19 N, 109E) for a 6-year period from December, 2002 to December, 2008. The technique used to build the local empirical model is described. Primary focuses are diurnal, seasonal and solar cycle variations of the peak electron density and the peak height under low solar activity and their changes with increasing solar activity. The main objective of the paper is to reveal both common and specific features of high-, mid- and low-latitude ionosphere. Based on earlier comparisons with the International Reference Ionosphere model, we analyze how the common and specific features are reproduced by this model.     

The INTEGRAL view of Gamma-Ray Bursts

After more than six and half years in orbit, the ESA space observatory INTEGRAL has provided new, exciting results in the soft gamma-ray energy range (from a few keV to a few MeV). With the discovery of about 700 hard X-Ray sources, it has changed our previous view of a sky composed of peculiar and “monster” sources. The new high energy sky is in fact full of a large variety of normal, very energetic emitters, characterized by new accretion and acceleration processes (see also IBIS cat4 (Bird et al., 2010). At the same time, about one GRB/month is detected and imaged by the two main gamma-ray instruments on board: IBIS and SPI. In this paper, we review the major achievements of the INTEGRAL observatory in the field of Gamma-Ray Bursts. We summarize the global properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts detected by INTEGRAL, with respect to their duration, spectral index, and peak flux distributions. We recall INTEGRAL results on the spectral lag analysis, showing how long-lag GRBs appear to form a separate population at low peak fluxes. We review the outcome of polarisation studies performed by using INTEGRAL data. Finally, concerning single GRB studies, we highlight the properties of particularly interesting Gamma-Ray Bursts in the INTEGRAL sample.

航天器大型网状天线透光性遮挡的精确计算方法

针对航天器太阳电池阵的设计和仿真中需要考虑大型网状天线造成的透光性遮挡的问题,提出一种精确计算透光性遮挡的方法。该方法以最小重复单元对金属网布进行三维建模,求取不同光照下金属网布透光率并存为表格;计算含金属网布构件造成的透光性遮挡图形时,用三角面片对构件进行三维建模,先计算出三角面片与入射光线的位置关系,查表得到该三角面片的透光率后将其投影区域的光照强度相应减少。径向肋天线算例表明,该方法快速准确,能正确生成透光性遮挡图形,为太阳电池阵仿真分析奠定了基础。     

半直接配点法在航天器追逃问题求解中的应用

采用半直接配点法求解时间固定两航天器追逃问题,提出一种新的数值求解追逃双方最优控制策略的方式,避免了求解非线性两点边值问题。在两航天器均为连续小推力假设条件下,以终端距离为支付函数,给出了半直接配点法求解此追逃问题的过程。在此数值方法中,根据半直接转换将微分对策问题转化为一个最优控制问题,由Gauss-Lobbato配点法最终将此最优问题转化为非线性规划问题,继而通过序列二次规划方法求解。这种半直接配点法避免微分对策问题最优策略的必要条件(两点边值问题)求解,并且数值稳定性好。数值仿真给出了追逃双发的最优控制策略和相应的追逃轨迹。
