A multi-epoch study of the C IV absorption variability in the broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255

Broad absorption line (BAL) variability potentially represents a powerful tool to investigate the physical nature and the structure of gas outflows in active galactic nuclei. Most existing BAL variability studies rely on observations taken at a few epochs for samples of tens of BAL QSOs. In this study we present the first “monitoring” of a single object, APM 08279+5255, which has been observed more than 20 times since 2003. All available spectra from the literature have also been analysed, including two high resolution spectra, extending the time interval from 1998 to 2012. A relative stability of the shape of the absorption profile is found. At the same time significant variations of the equivalent width are observed. A correlation of the BAL equivalent width with the QSO luminosity is found for the first time. These results suggest that changes in the ionisation state of the gas are causing opacity changes.     

Low ionization lines in high luminosity quasars: The calcium triplet

In order to investigate where and how low ionization lines are emitted in quasars we are studying a new collection of spectra of the CaII triplet at λ8498, λ8542, λ8662 observed with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) using the Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera (ISAAC). Our sample involves luminous quasars at intermediate redshift for which CaII observations are almost nonexistent. We fit the CaII triplet and the OI λ8446 line using the Hβ profile as a model. We derive constraints on the line emitting region from the relative strength of the CaII triplet, OI λ8446 and Hβ.     

The short gamma-ray burst – SGR giant flare connection

We review the notion that some extragalactic giant magnetar flares could be mistaken for short cosmic gamma-ray bursts. There are at least two general ways to approach this problem. One is statistical, while the other considers individual bursts. Both methods appear to agree that extragalactic flares can be, and indeed are, present in the short burst population, although the rate of such events remains uncertain. The statistical studies all suggest a rate of ∼1–15% in the short GRB sample.     

Calculation of the barometric coefficients at the start of the 24th solar activity cycle for particle detectors of Aragats Space Environmental Center

After the major modernization of the data acquisition electronics of the particle detectors operated at Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC) calculations of the barometric coefficients of all the monitors were performed in the beginning of the 24th solar activity cycle. The barometric coefficients of particle detectors located at altitudes of 1000 m, 2000 m and 3200 m a.s.l. measuring various secondary cosmic ray fluxes were compared with theoretical expectations and monitors operated on different longitudes and latitudes. The barometric coefficients were also calculated for the several neutron monitors of recently established Eurasian database (NMDB) and SEVAN particle detector networks. The latitude and altitude dependencies of the barometric coefficients were investigated, as well as the dependence of coefficients on energy of the primary particles.     

宇宙膨胀动因的另类物理解释

利用磁流体力学的基本概念，试图对宇宙膨胀——总星系扩张的动因，提出另类物理解释如下：磁压是导致磁力线疏散的一种斥力。由于宇宙磁场是冻凝场，故当磁力线在空问疏散时，必将带着与之冻结的宇宙物质一起在空问疏散；从而使宇宙物质的密度减少，各星彼此远离。因此可以认为，磁压是宇宙膨胀的主要动因。并就有关问题进行了讨论。

针对7自由度空间机械臂在目标捕获过程中的应用,根据机械臂末端执行器与目标适配器导向插入过程中存在接触碰撞的特点,提出一种阻抗控制方法,将机械臂末端测量的反作用力和力矩转化为位置增量,从而提高机械臂的主动柔性。并建立MATLAB/ADAMS联合仿真模型进行仿真验证,利用ADAMS的碰撞模型模拟接触捕获时的力学过程。仿真结果表明,本文提出的阻抗控制方法可以减小机械臂末端作用力和关节的驱动力矩,补偿了机械臂位置控制的误差,从而保证了机械臂对目标的捕获精度。
