给出了高精度高动态星模拟器系统组成和总体结构, 提出一种基于亚像素显示技术提高动态星模拟器星点位置显示精度从而减小星点几何中心与能量中心位置偏差的新方法. 针对动态星模拟器高动态性要求, 提出一种快速精确检索全天球导航星的新方法, 将已知SAO (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) 星表进行分区, 计算当前姿态四元数并分析航天器视轴所在区域, 对于距离视轴较远区域停止搜索和匹配, 很大程度上缩小了导航星搜索范围, 进而缩短了全天球恒星遍历所需时间. 软件测试结果表明, 此快速检索法可使全天球导航星的选取速度提高近10倍.     

亮星辅助下基于坐标转换的快速星图识别方法

数字天顶仪作为一种地面使用的星敏感器，主要用于高精度定位。为提高仪器的工作效率需要对星图识别的快速性进行研究。通过对恒星像点理论坐标与图像坐标的分析，构建坐标转换模型。依据星表中恒星的分布及星等筛选出视场范围内的亮星，并构建导航星表。结合导航星表完成3颗亮星的准确识别，在识别亮星的基础上解算坐标转换模型的参数。通过构建的坐标转换模型对视场范围内的恒星进行坐标转换，将转换后的星点坐标与提取的星点图像坐标进行匹配完成星图的识别，这样能够提高星图识别的快速性。实验数据表明：在保证识别星点数量的基础上，采用亮星辅助下基于坐标转换的星图识别方法使时间缩短为改进三角形星图识别算法的五分之一。     

一种新的导航星选取算法研究

在导航星表的建立过程中，由于恒星的数量太多，往往要进行筛选，通常这种选择复杂费时，而结果往往并不是最优的。本文引入了动态星等阈值分布函数，将传统星等阈值过滤算法中的静态阈值用动态星等阈值代替，建立了一种新的动态星等阈值过滤选择模式。而基于统计学习理论的支持向量机方法为求解高维非线性动态星等阈值分布函数提供了新的途径。本文讨论了这种基于支持向量机的导航星自动选择算法——回归选取算法。实验表明，用该算法所选取的导航星表，导航星数量少、分布均匀性好。同时它还能适应多种任务的导航星选取要求，具有很强的通用性。

Study of the 28 October 2003 and 20 January 2005 solar flares by means of 2.223 MeV gamma-emission line

By the data on intensity-time profiles of the neutron capture line of 2.223 MeV we have studied some characteristics of two solar flares, 28 October 2003 and 20 January 2005 (INTEGRAL and CORONAS-F observations, respectively). The SINP code was applied making allowance for the main processes of neutron interactions and deceleration in the solar plasma, character of neutron source, losses of neutrons and density model of the solar atmosphere. Comparison of the computed time profiles of 2.223 MeV line with observed ones for the flare of 28 October 2003 confirms the results obtained earlier for three other flares. Namely, the effect of density enhancement (EDE) in the sub-flare region, as well as the variations (hardening) of accelerated particle spectrum in the course of the event have been confirmed. The usual modeling procedure by the SINP code, however, seems to be inapplicable to the event of 20 January 2005. Possible causes of density enhancements during some flares and peculiarities of the 20 January 2005 flare are discussed.     

The brief history of experimental research of cosmic ray variations in Yakutia

Some unknown historical facts of cosmic ray studies in the north-east of the former Soviet Union related to the Yakutsk scientific group are reported for the benefit of the international scientific community. It focuses on the founders of Yu.G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences. A chronology of measurements of cosmic ray intensity variations since 1949 in Yakutia (Sakha Republic; NE Siberia) is given. In particular, for the first time the data of the first solar cosmic ray event registered at Yakutsk (GLE04), with a small ionization chamber S-2 (volume: 20 L) are presented. Moreover, the data of the large ionization chamber ASK-1 (volume: 950 L) for the 1953–2003 period useful for specialists in the field of cosmic ray variations are also shown.     

ISO Observations of Pre-Stellar Cores and Young Stellar Objects

We summarize the observations of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) concerning the earliest stages of the stellar formation. The observations of samples of sources in different evolutionary stages are reviewed, addressing in particular how the physical and chemical properties of the protostellar environments change from the pre-stellar cores to the protostars at the end of their accretion phase. In addition, the mid-IR surveys in nearby star-forming regions are discussed, showing their implications for the understanding of the stellar initial mass function. Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom), and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.     

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.
