Radio-faint BL Lac objects and their impact on the radio/gamma-ray connection

Radio and gamma-ray emissions in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are both related to the presence of relativistic particles in jets. With the advent of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and thanks to its large sensitivity up to several GeV, many observational results are changing our understanding of these phenomena. BL Lac objects, which made up only a fraction of the known extragalactic gamma-ray source population before Fermi, have now become the most abundant class. However, since they are relatively weak radio sources, most of them are poorly known as far as their parsec scale structure and multi-wavelength properties are concerned. For this reason, we have selected a complete sample of 42 low redshift BL Lacs (independently of their gamma-ray properties) to study with a multi-wavelength (radio, optical, X-ray, gamma-ray) approach. Here, we present results and images of sources in the sample (most of which have never been observed before), using new VLBA observations at 8 and 15 GHz. Beyond this sample of BL Lacs, the population of gamma-ray AGNs has also dramatically enlarged in the Fermi era, permitting us to discuss the presence of a correlation between radio and gamma-ray properties with improved statistical significance. We explore the radio-gamma relation with several hundreds sources and using both simultaneous and archival radio data, thus tackling the impact of time variability.     

Observations of Extended Radio Emission in Clusters

We review observations of extended regions of radio emission in clusters; these include diffuse emission in ‘relics’, and the large central regions commonly referred to as ‘halos’. The spectral observations, as well as Faraday rotation measurements of background and cluster radio sources, provide the main evidence for large-scale intracluster magnetic fields and significant densities of relativistic electrons. Implications from these observations on acceleration mechanisms of these electrons are reviewed, including turbulent and shock acceleration, and also the origin of some of the electrons in collisions of relativistic protons by ambient protons in the (thermal) gas. Improved knowledge of non-thermal phenomena in clusters requires more extensive and detailed radio measurements; we briefly review prospects for future observations.     

Nickel Isotopic Composition and Nickel/Iron Ratio in the Solar Wind: Results from SOHO/CELIAS/MTOF

Using the Mass Time-of-Flight Spectrometer (MTOF)—part of the Charge, Elements, Isotope Analysis System (CELIAS)—onboard the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, we derive the nickel isotopic composition for the isotopes with mass 58, 60 and 62 in the solar wind. In addition we measure the elemental abundance ratio of nickel to iron. We use data accumulated during ten years of SOHO operation to get sufficiently high counting statistics and compare periods of different solar wind velocities. We compare our values with the meteoritic ratios, which are believed to be a reliable reference for the solar system and also for the solar outer convective zone, since neither element is volatile and no isotopic fractionation is expected in meteorites. Meteoritic isotopic abundances agree with the terrestrial values and can thus be considered to be a reliable reference for the solar isotopic composition. The measurements show that the solar wind elemental Ni/Fe-ratio and the isotopic composition of solar wind nickel are consistent with the meteoritic values. This supports the concept that low-FIP elements are fed without relative fractionation into the solar wind. Our result also confirms the absence of substantial isotopic fractionation processes for medium and heavy ions acting in the solar wind.

基于CCERT与声发射技术的气液固三相流相含率测量

传统的相含率测量方法在测量三相流相含率时只能对某单一相进行检测,针对此问题,基于电容耦合电阻层析成像(CCERT)技术与声发射技术,建立了相含率测量模型,提出了一种三相流各相相含率的非侵入式测量方法。利用偏最小二乘回归法,在静态情况下建立CCERT技术的相含率测量模型,同时在鼓泡床上进行动态实验,采用差压法进行同步测量作为参考值验证模型的有效性,实现了对两相相含率的非接触测量。在此基础上,通过对声发射技术采集到的声音信号进行处理,建立声发射技术的气相相含率预测模型,利用该模型测量出三相体系中的气相相含率,结合CCERT技术测量出三相体系中的不导电相相含率,从而利用非侵入式测量方法得到三相流中的各相相含率。

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.

场发射电推力器的参数选择与调控方法

场发射电推力器具有几种不同的发射模式,分别产生荷质比不同的带电液滴或带电离子,使得不同模式下推力性能差别显著。针对不同的空间应用,需要设计不同种类的场发射电推力器,使其达到相应的推力参数。为此对场发射电推力器的发射过程展开分析,确定了推力参数的调控方法。首先对场发射电推力器的基本工作原理进行了阐述,并对不同发射模式的基础物理机制进行了分析。在此基础上通过理论计算得出采用不同推进剂可达到不同发射模式这一结论,并最终得出推力器性能参数的调控方法,论证了推力性能受到推进剂种类和发射模式的影响,在离子发射模式下处于高比冲、低推力工况,而液滴发射模式下处于低比冲、高推力工况。此外推力参数还受到供给流量、外加电压等多种因素的影响。在得到推力器参数的调控方法后,设计了一种主动供给型离子液体电推力器,以离子液体EMI BF4作为推进剂,进行了相应的试验研究。通过改变外加电压,实现了对推力器推力性能的调控,证实了此调控方法的可行性。推力器达到的推力范围为1.6~10μN,比冲范围为154~978s。
