The Rosetta Mission: Flying Towards the Origin of the Solar System

The ROSETTA Mission, the Planetary Cornerstone Mission in the European Space Agency’s long-term programme Horizon 2000, will rendezvous in 2014 with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko close to its aphelion and will study the physical and chemical properties of the nucleus, the evolution of the coma during the comet’s approach to the Sun, and the development of the interaction region of the solar wind and the comet, for more than one year until it reaches perihelion. In addition to the investigations performed by the scientific instruments on board the orbiter, the ROSETTA lander PHILAE will be deployed onto the surface of the nucleus. On its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, ROSETTA will fly by and study the two asteroids 2867 Steins and 21 Lutetia.     

In-Situ Solar Wind and Magnetic Field Signatures of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections

The heliospheric counterparts of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) at the Sun, interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), can be identified in situ based on a number of magnetic field, plasma, compositional and energetic particle signatures as well as combinations thereof. We summarize these signatures and their implications for understanding the nature of these structures and the physical properties of coronal mass ejections. We conclude that our understanding of ICMEs is far from complete and formulate several challenges that, if addressed, would substantially improve our knowledge of the relationship between CMEs at the Sun and in the heliosphere.     

Solar Wind Sources and Their Variations Over the Solar Cycle

In this paper I will briefly summarize the present status of our knowledge on the four different sorts of solar wind, their sources and their short- and long-term variations. First: the fast solar wind in high-speed streams that emerges from coronal hole regions. Second: the slow solar wind emerging from the non-active Sun near the global heliospheric current sheet above helmet streamers and underlying active regions. Third: the slow solar wind filling most of the heliosphere during high solar activity, emerging above active regions in a highly turbulent state, and fourth: the plasma expelled from the Sun during coronal mass ejections. The coronal sources of these different flows vary dramatically with the solar activity cycle.

On the Lyman α and O VI Line Profiles in Streamers and Coronal Holes

The profiles of the Lyα line at 1215.6 Å and of the O VI doublet at 1031.9 Å and 1037.6 Å in the extended solar corona have been analyzed vs. latitude and radial direction, performing observations with the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on board the ESA-NASA solar satellite SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory). The results show that these lines behave differently with latitude: the H I Ly α line has larger full width at half maximum (FWHM) values in the streamer region and narrower values towards the pole, while the FWHM of O VI lines has a minimum at the center of the streamer and slightly increases towards the polar regions. We briefly discuss the impact of the results on coronal heating theories.     

The Transition Between Fast and Slow Solar Wind from Composition Data

The transition between coronal hole associated fast solar wind and slow solar wind is studied using data from the high resolution mass spectrometer SWICS on ACE. We discuss the data in the framework of a recent theory about the global heliospheric magnetic field and conclude that the data are consistent with magnetic connections between field-lines in the fast and in the slow wind. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

气固两相管道流中柱状粒子取向的数值研究

本文对管道悬浮流中柱状粒子的取向分布进行研究。首先对柱状粒子在流场内的运动进行数值模拟，然后运用统计方法得出大量柱状粒子的取向分布；得到了粒子长径比、St数和流场区域对粒子取向分布的影响。计算结果表明，柱状粒子长径比和St数的变化对粒子取向分布的影响并不明显，而流场区域所造成的流场横向速度梯度对粒子取向分布有重要的影响。随着流场横向速度梯度的增大，粒子有明显的占优取向，且当流场横向速度梯度增大到一定程度时，粒子取向都趋向于流动方向。文中部分结果与实验进行了比较，两者吻合较好。     

The Theory of Anomalous Cosmic Rays

Anomalous cosmic rays are a heliospheric phenomenon in which interstellar neutral atoms stream into the heliosphere, are ionized by either solar radiation or the solar wind, and are subsequently accelerated to very high energies, greater than 1 GeV. Current thinking has the bulk of the acceleration to very-high energies taking place, by the mechanism of diffusive shock acceleration, at the termination shock of the solar wind. Detailed two-dimensional numerical simulations and models based on this picture show broad agreement with a number of the observed properties of anomalous cosmic rays. Recent improvements to this picture include the observation of multiply charged cosmic rays and the suggestion that some "preacceleration" of the initially ionized particles occurs in the inner heliosphere.

纳米锑颗粒的制备及其分散性研究

采用电化学方法电沉积制得不同形貌及粒径的纳米锑颗粒,并在制备过程中使用OP-10对纳米锑颗粒表面进行了原位改性.通过TEM、XRD、FTIR等方法对纳米锑颗粒的形态、物相和包覆效果进行表征.结果显示,纳米锑颗粒的制备具有时间效应和电流效应.随着反应时间的加长,纳米锑颗粒粒径变大,且在某种程度上存在着团聚现象;电流密度在一定范围内,适当增大电流密度有利于纳米锑颗粒的形成.纳米锑颗粒的表面改性,主要是通过OP-10的长链分子结构与纳米锑颗粒之间的化学吸附以及OP-10的长链烷基分子之间的氢键、范德华力相互作用,分子链相互缠结,部分通过C-H键互相渗入,最终有效地包覆在纳米锑颗粒表面来达到其表面改性效果,同时在反应过程中醚键也起了一定作用.纳米锑颗粒在纯液体石蜡油中的分散稳定性能与其添加量有关,其最佳添加量为0.5％.
